      Description:
      There is substantial interest in promoting the emergence of a hydrogen-based energy economy. If successful, this would represent a policy-led, discontinuous transition away from existing fossil fuel-based systems. Such a move has few precedents and few policy tools exist to manage such a complex and uncertain endeavour. Furthermore, existing hydrocarbon energy systems can be considered Techno-Institutional Complexes (TIC), which have developed through the path dependent co-evolution of physical technologies and social institutions. These complexes have numerous structures that ensure their perpetuation and create important barriers to the implementation of alternatives like hydrogen-based systems. The authors explore the application of prospective voluntary agreements (PVA) as a policy tool/process that can help facilitate a move towards a hydrogen-based economy through foresight and negotiation. From this perspective, we look at the recent case of the Nordic Hydrogen Energy Foresight project for evidence.

          Book Description

          What if it were possible to avert needless declines in performance and to divert the energy toward positive change? What if it were possible to reverse declining performance by achieving significant gains of 25, 50, 100% or more in a matter of months? What if such gains were attained, not by adding new technology, allocating more capital or launching yet another change program, but by tackling obvious opportunities using existing resources? What if the improvements could be achieved faster by replacing conventional methods with new practices that work better and are less labor intensive? Such opportunities do exist, are readily available and proven. The Dinosaur in the Living Room answers many of the "What if questions" posed above; and provides clear-cut strategies for achieving positive change and results.

            Book Description

            David Howell's practical approach focuses on the context of statistics in behavioral research, with an emphasis on looking before leaping; investigating the data before jumping into a test. This provides you with an understanding of the logic behind the statistics: why and how certain methods are used rather than just doing techniques by rote. Learn faster and understand more because Howell's texts moves you beyond number crunching, allowing you to discover the meaning of statistical results and how they relate to the research questions being asked.

            4 out of 5 stars good book.......2007-07-18

            I liked the explanations given about every step while learning the steps of analysis. The book explains 'how and why' in simple language. Also, the print outs of the computerized format of the analysis helped me! Definitely recommend this book for a beginner like me!

            1 out of 5 stars ........2007-04-05

            When I bought this product in no way did the description say that the textbook was not part of the purchase. I assumed I was buying the textbook as it was advertised with the cover of the textbook as it's picture.

            Very unhappy.

            2 out of 5 stars Very Displeased.......2006-08-06

            I have had this book for two semsters at a grad level. The information is confusing and at times leaves one lost. I am very displeased with the book. It has not helped me in no way understanding the meaning behind behavioral stats. In fact I am more confused now. I wish the book could have given more details on explaining stats instead of so many examples. The examples are find but the problem is they are continued from the beginning of the book. And if one doesnot grasp the beginning then how can one grasp the remainer of the text. I wouldnot recommend this book to no one.

            I have been using this text for Levels 1, 2, and 3 social sciences statistics teaching in Britain and abroad for over 8 years now. Although I have tried using other introductory texts, I have yet to find a text as comprehensive and as clearly written as this.

            1 out of 5 stars The worst stats book for the social sciences.......2001-04-12

            I hate to be so critical, but I must agree with my colleague who described his/her harrowing experience with this textbook. I have two rules about learning statistics: no one is ever above a review of the most basic topics and an author/professor can never go wrong by providing a variety of examples within the same topic area.

            Book Description

            This eighth edition of McCall's well-respected book continues to present concepts in a way that students can easily understand. The new edition has been updated throughout and now includes recommendations by the APA Task Force on Statistical Inference. As in previous editions, McCall helps students see the many real applications of statistics to research in the behavioral sciences. Taking a traditional approach to teaching the basic statistical concepts and methods used in behavioral research. McCall emphasizes building an understanding of the logic of statistics rather than stressing the mechanics. In this exciting revision, McCall continues to keep the data for the computational problems simple, so your students can focus on the rationale and outcome of techniques rather on the calculations themselves. Using clear discussion, a wide variety of end-of-chapter exercises, and examples drawn from actual studies, McCall helps students learn how to choose appropriate statistical methods and correctly interpret the results. Also retained in this edition are the author's step-by-step explanations for each proof and his clear definitions of symbols--the essential vocabulary of statistics--that have been so successful in helping students master the material.

            Although it is a rare segment of the human population who could claim to find scientific statistics "enjoyable", Robert McCall has somehow managed to take some of the pain out of what is generally deemed a horrifying experience. I thank Mr. McCall and the hands-on approach of his book for enabling me to make it through Stats this time with a passing grade! It would have gotten the full five stars if it weren't for the rediculous price...

            I am using this book for an online graduate statistics course, so there is little direction from a formal instructor. All of my information so far is from this book. It is easy to read and the examples are easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone who is beginning the journey into statistics...very helpful

            5 out of 5 stars Really good.......2003-12-01

            A unique introductory book in statistics. The hallmark of this book is nodoubt the clarity of detailed explanations of fundamental statistical concepts. A lot of invaluable material and explanantions here not to be found in other textbooks on statistics!
            Highlights that spring to my mind are the excellent treatments of averages, correlation and regression, and hypothesis testing. A very important topic (usually missing in most textbooks) is the strength of evidence in hypothesis and significiance testing and is treated very nicely in various parts of the books. This book should not be missed by beginners (and probably experts) in the field.

                      1 out of 5 stars Book is not adjusted for todays student.......1999-10-05

                      I believe that this book should give sample of how a student can use a TI-83 calculator or TI-86 calculator to do their statistical work. This book has very few examples to help the student understand the basics of the stat formats.

                          Book Description

                          Every notable aspect of Toxic Contamination in Large Lakes is examined by known experts from every continent. Authors represent the U.S. and Canada, Argentina, Sweden, USSR, Israel, Great Britain, Japan, China, The Netherlands, Germany, Kenya, Austria. Authors represent the entire spectrum-academia, government, and industry. The first published work offer such a diverse and complete examination of this subject, it provides valuable information and data for today and tomorrow-and the basis for stimulating new research. Chapters in this work were reviewed and carefully edited, after initial presentation at the World Conference on Large Lakes held May 18-21, 1986 at Mackinac Island, Michigan. It presents a wealth of information...a resource for continued use over the years...and should do much to stimulate further study. This vital work is especially of interest to environmental scientists and toxicologists, fisheries professionals, researchers, aquatic resource managers, ecologists, biologists, chemists, and engineers. Every science or engineering library with a water interest should have this notable reference.

                          Book Description

                          In this long overdue book, Critchell addresses the issue of stretching and warm up practices for soccer. The main focus of the book is to discourage the use of static stretching and instead offer a variety of dynamic exercises which more closely resemble the movements made in the game, giving the players the preparation they need either pre-game or pre-practice.

                          5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff!.......2006-06-21

                          A super book for coaches who want to incorporate dynamic warm-ups/stretching into their teams training sessions and pre-game routine. Explanations are solid and easy to understand. As a coach of thirteen years I even found some terrific new warm-up exercises and games to use with my teams. Highly recommended especially for those who still believe that static stretching is still O.K. and anyone else who wants to leaern about proper warming up.

                          5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2005-02-18

                          Really an outstanding book. It made me as a coach review how I approached warm-ups. I had always had the team go through traditional warm-ups; running the width of the field a couple of times, stretch and then small games of keep-away. Now, after reading this book that will all change. Dynamic stretching, varying the warm-up games etc... it is all covered in this book very well. Highly recommended for all coaches.

                          5 out of 5 stars Budge is a GREAT WAY to become FLUENT in this language.......2006-04-07

                          Budge is the best way to go if you are serious about becoming fluent in this beautiful language. The fact is that Budge puts the symbol, the transliteration, and the translation all together so you can know exactly what word you are reading and you can learn the syntax by reading his texts. You can pronounce it as you are learning it while reading the symbol all at the same time. The other wonderful thing about Budge is that he has loads of works out there. If you study one book, then you can easily move into other books and get the same reinforcement without having to learn some different author's other pronunciation key.

                          I know it is possible to use these books and become fluent. I am in the process of studying this language and a friend who is already fluent recommended these books for me (actually he reviewed Rosemary Clark's book The Sacred Tradition)--but another key point is to understand the essence behind the language. One who follows the Faith of the Gods of Ancient Egypt will be able to relate more to these texts because in order to understand a language such as this one, one must understand the spirit behind the language. Anyone can pick up a hieroglyphics book and learn to write people's names in hieroglyphics. To really understand the deeper aspect of the language, one must study it from the inside and not just as an observer. It is impossible to truly become fluent in a language by being just an observer.

                          I would recommend reading The Search for Omm Sety about a woman who was a famous Egyptologist and also practiced the Faith of the Gods. She was one of the few people who learned Ancient Egyptian language fluently and was able to understand and communicate its essence. Omm Sety was a personal friend of Budge and actually helped Budge to edit his work and pronunciation. You also may want to read The Sacred Tradition by Rosemary Clark. She was another author who became fluent in this language and she discussses the use of this language in her writings.

                          I highly recommend this book. Budge has the very best to offer for anyone serious about learning this language.

                          If your reading the Heiroglyphics you will need this book so don't even kid your self if you think you won't because it's worth it's weight in gold.
                          Get your own copy because I'm not lending mine!

                          i have purchased both of the volumes of this set and have found a lot of differences in the main transliteration of the hieroglyphics, but these two books are well worth the money if you are just learning to read and write hieroglyphics.

                          2 out of 5 stars Egyptian Heiroglyphics.......2005-11-17

                          I wasn't happy with the book. It is outdated and doesn't measure up to some of the newer editions. I did get some benefit out of it but not enough to say the book was worth the price.

                          4 out of 5 stars This book is very useful!.......2004-06-10

                          This book has had very mixed reactions from those who have read it. Budge was writing at a time when people were unsure of the exact values of certain characters, and when many things about the Ancient Egyptians were still unknown. For this reason there are some strange mistakes in his dictionaries that many advanced scholars now criticse him for.

                          However, this book does offer one of the largest hieroglyphic dictionaries currently available and for this reason it is indispensable.A casual learner, who wants to be able to read the cartouches that appear on monuments and stelae can do so with Budge's king list.

                          An advanced scholar though, who needs to know the unusual words that can be found only in Budge's dictionaries, will have enough knowledge to correct his outdated transliteration.
                          For the casual student I recommend this book intensely, as it helps greatly with cartouches and formulaic inscriptions.
                          For the more advanced Egyptologist I also recommend this book, as it offers as I have said a far less "concise" version of Faulkner's Concise Dictionary.

                          P.S If you buy Volume One, do not forget to purchase Volume Two!

                            ....a huge disappointment. I choose to be anonymous because I am a St. James fan but I do NOT agree with the things she says in this book. In this book she's close-minded and ignorant about the realities of the world. She should spend more time in a secular university then in an ingenuous bible school if she wants to gain knowledge that'll impact the world.

                            3 out of 5 stars Not what it Promises, but Certainly Not Horrible.......2005-09-13

                            I agree with another reviewer who said this book would be good for new believers. Beyond that, it just doesn't lack personality and is really no different than any Christian self-help book for women. While I agree that the message may ultimately be the same, Rebecca St. James is supposed to be good at delivering that message in a slightly unique way and in that area, this book fell flat. I think women can handle much more depth than this and as far as the "new definition of feminism" this book is supposed to offer, I didn't see anything "new". People don't need to be reminded of statistics, they just want something real to apply to their lives. The double authorship makes me wonder if St. James really even wrote any of it, or just got to stick her name on there because of who she is. Her devos were awesome, but after that her other books just haven't packed the same punch.

                            3 out of 5 stars An Extremely "OK" Book...........2005-09-09

                            After Rebecca's fantastic "40 days With God" devotional serise, and then her "Wait For Me" book and journal release...I was hopeful of something spectacular. Unfortunately, I found SHE to be dissapointing. It seemed as though Rebecca (who I love!) and Linda just released a book that re-packaged what every Self-empowerment/Singles book has already said.
                            I've been reading chistian living books for a decade now, and I found SHE to be extremely unoriginal. I would however, give a copy of SHE to a young women who perhaps just became a Christian...just to get her thinking. So, if you are new to your faith and are looking for a book to help you get on track...this would be great for you. But, if you are like myself and have read the likes of Leslie Ludy, Janet Folger and Elizabeth Elliot...you may find this book very remedial and even funny at times...as I did.
                            Overall, not a great release for Rebecca, in my opinion. However I hope that this book will help as may people as possible.

                            5 out of 5 stars A Must Read.......2005-05-28

                            I think this book should be required reading for every woman. It deals with so many important issues. Issues which a lot of people are afraid to touch with a ten foot pole. I very much appreciate the honesty and transparency of the authors in this book. I have struggled with so many of the same issues. The advice in this book is practical and most of all, biblical. This book is very convicting and will give you a lot to think about. The chapters that were most challenging for me personally were the ones on feminity and purity. I think women of all ages would benefit from reading this book.

                            5 out of 5 stars Awesome! Every Woman Should Read This! .......2005-03-06

                            This was an awesome book. It goes into detail of three important factors every woman should have in life. She should be Safe, Healthy, and Empowered.

                            The safety part of the book goes into detail about how as women we search for protection, security, intamacy and femininity as it should be. We all know that we long to be held in a safe and secure place in our lives. And we can have that safe and security with Jesus Christ. Rebecca and Linda goes into discussion of the things that we can do in our lives to become safe. Once we feel that we have come to a peace of being safe we need to face our intmacy issues. First of all we need to be intmate with God and spend more time with him. Rebecca and Linda illustrates great ideas in ways that we can achieve this.

                            The healthy part of the book goes into detail about how beauty is more than skin deep. There is a quiz in this section to see how you view yourself and to give you pointers to assist you to raise your self-esteem. This chapter also reveals about purity and emotional healing. I feel that this was the most helpful chapter to me. I have been struggling with the question can God forgive me for making past mistakes. Rebecca and Linda answered my question in this chapter. God is a loving and forgiving God. He has forgiven us of our sins no matter how big or small they are. Because all sin is just sin in his eyes no matter how big or small. This book has touched my heart and I know that it can touch yours too. I highly recommend this book to other young ladies and of course I feel that every woman should read this book. It will help you to answer many questions you have for yourself when seeking God's help in living a Godly life as the woman he has created you to be.

                            The empowerment section of this book was excellent. It helps you to see the steps of becoming the woman that God has created us to be. This section is dealing with the spiritual needs for women. We need help along the way to fulfilling our purpose. It starts out with explaining what a mentor really means and how much we need mentors at an early age in life. Because one day we will become a mentor for someone else if we aren't already. It also goes into discussion of building boundaries as christians so that the enmy can not just walk-in when he feels like it.

                            This book is a very awesome and wonderfully written book. I know that I will read this book over and over. Maybe one day I can hand it down to my daughter, so that she can see the woman that God created her to be.

                            Rebecca and Linda use scripture through out the book and refers to stories of women in the Bible. How God used the women in the Bible to become SHE's as he wants us to be. I highly recommend this book. This book touched my heart in more ways than I can describe and I know that God will use it to work in your life as well. May God Bless You and Walk with You along your way of becoming the SHE he created you to be.
