Bail out. The coast is clear. In deep water. These are just a few of the seafaring terms that have become part of our common language But where do they come from, and what do they really mean? Peter Jeans provides all the answers in this book which was named a "Best Reference Source" by Library Journal.

In his journey to uncover word origins, Jeans paints a vivid picture of hardy Nantucket whalers and Elizabethan sea dogs, grizzled Nova Scotia fishermen and the crews of great clipper ships. Along the way, he recounts the exploits of such seafaring greats as Sir Francis Drake, Captain Cook, and John Paul Jones.

More than a dictionary, Ship to Shore is a fascinating chronicle of the sailing men who made an enduring contribution to the English language. Here readers will find origins of words and phrases such as:

*Listless
*Peepers
*To turn turtle
*Sundowner
*Unstayed
*To come in with flying colors
*Blowhard
*To be taken aback.

Learning mathematical modeling need not be difficult Unlike other books, this book not only lists the equations one-by-one, but explains in detail how they are each derived, used, and finally assembled into a computer program for model simulations. This book shows how mathematics is applied in agriculture, in particular to modeling the growth and yield of a generic crop. Topics covered are agriculture meteorology, solar radiation interception and absorption, evapotranspiration, energy and soil water balance, soil water flow, photosynthesis, respiration, and crop growth development..

Homological algebra first arose as a language for describing topological prospects of geometrical objects. As with every successful language it quickly expanded its coverage and semantics, and its contemporary applications are many and diverse. This modern approach to homological algebra, by two leading writers in the field, is based on the systematic use of the language and ideas of derived categories and derived functors. Relations with standard cohomology theory (sheaf cohomology, spectral sequences, etc.) are described. In most cases complete proofs are given. Basic concepts and results of homotopical algebra are also presented. The book addresses people who want to learn a modern approach to homological algebra and to use it in their work. For the second edition the authors have made numerous corrections..

Derived Relational Responding serves as a curriculum guide for practitioners working with learners with autism and other developmental disabilities in a variety of human service and educational settings. The book's primary objectives are to provide a rationale for the necessity of constructing behavioral repertoires based upon derived relational responding, and to provide practitioners with a set of tools for the implementation of educational interventions for the acquisition of verbal, social, and cognitive skills using a derived stimulus relations technology. The book is organized into beginning, intermediate, and advanced curricular areas.

Part 1, the Beginning Curriculum Guide, provides practitioners with step-by-step instructions for establishing prerequisite skills for normal language. Pre-academic skills necessary for learning relationally, acquisition of rudimentary verbal operants, and establishment of direct instructional control are emphasized in Part 1.

Part 2, the Intermediate Curriculum Guide, shows how a technology based on derived relational responding can be used to enhance receptive and expressive repertoires via the establishment of such skills as reading, spelling, sentence construction, and grammar.

Part 3, the Advanced Curriculum Guide, focuses on the application of derived relational responding to higher order cognitive and social abilities, including perspective taking and empathy, mathematical reasoning, and intelligence and creativity.

Each chapter:

• discusses how a particular skill deficit has been taught traditionally with examples from the relevant literature,
• provides a rationale for why a technology based on derived relational responding may be more effective or desirable in ameliorating the particular skill deficit,
• discusses studies to date that have used an intervention based on derived relational responding, and
• provides a comprehensive set of step-by-step instructions and helpful problem-solving tips for how practitioners can use derived relational responding to establish the skill area targeted in the particular chapter.

The book includes a representative case study with sample learning objectives and hypothetical data. Other tools for practitioners, such as sample data sheets and suggestions for additional resources, are strongly encouraged.

When asked what led him to write To Save the Love That Was Lost. Lyman Allen said, "I wrote because I had to. It was a matter of passion I should say 'guided passion,' because I found out that I was guided, and so the book is ours, Sofia's and mine. There was a lid on my passion: I wanted to believe that life made more sense than what we experience every day. We function from day to day, yes, but I think a lot of us live with a gut feeling of how life ought to be, and this is backed up, maybe, by a higher sense of that truth. Well I found that there is that truth, and it's in To Save the Love that Was Lost. In fact it's in the title. So, I'm offering an invitation to people to peek out from under that lid and see what they might find. I found the answer that makes sense. "Our book is about the original message of Jesus-Christianity before it was taken over by organized faith (is that a contradiction in terms?) It's about what was intended to work for the world, how we must learn to live. I found that Jesus' lost teachings are supported by religious history of 20-even 26-centuries ago. A lot of those teachings were discovered in 1945, hidden for all that time. They never got tampered with. "The title is from a verse deleted from a famous parable. It's a mission statement about advancing the original Christianity of Jesus-that's the love part-and it relates directly to the fate of our planet. It turns out that my mission was to write a book about these things. The book is, in fact, a spiritual thesis supported by ancient documents, recently discovered. That might be a 'first.'".

This was the Civil War soldier's and NCO's 'how-to' guide to military duties in garrison and in the field. It covers of all ranks and services: infantry, cavalry, artillery, ordnance, quartermaster, signal, saddlers, hospital stewards, cooks, bands, as well as spies, pickets, expressmen, special forces. There is much quaint yet practical advice on survival, cooking and nutrition, pay, punishment, prisoners of war, and many long-extinct soldier skills. It contains the 'Articles of War' used during the Civil War..

The equivariant derived category of sheaves is introduced. All usual functors on sheaves are extended to the equivariant situation. Some applications to the equivariant intersection cohomology are given.
The theory may be useful to specialists in representation theory, algebraic geometry or topology..
