This book presents a very plausible explanation of events surrounding a documented explosion at a Soviet nuclear plant in the southern Ural Mountains during the winter of 1959-60.

The author is an ecologist, many of whose university colleagues disappeared from the ecological literature for a period of about six years, then suddenly began to publish data on radiological damage to a 400-sq.-mi. area between Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk in the southern Urals. A series of chapters looks at different parts of the ecosystem; one deals with large ungulates, one with field rodents, another with fish populations, etc.

The author believes that the only explanation for the type of radiological contamination studied is a non-nuclear explosion of stored radioactive waste. Water leaching into the area where leaky barrels of waste was heated by the radioactive isotopes, causing a steam explosion which spread the waste material over a very large area. His theory is corroborated by residents of the area who later emigrated from the Soviet Union to the West and told their story.

This book is a fascinating read, even for someone with limited background in the science of ecology.

Praised as the most OBRA-specific, user-friendly book on the market today, Nursing Assistants: A Basic Study Guide addresses the ever-growing market of entry-level healthcare workers. Organized in 16 step-by-step modules, the guide's simplicity and clarity are helpful to all students. It is extremely beneficial for those who are struggling with learning or reading difficulties, at-risk students, and those whose native language is not English. As the elderly poplulation continues to increase, analysts estimate that two to three million people in the U.S. alone will use nursing homes during the next century. With healthcare costs steadily on the rise, more entry-level workers are needed than ever before to help curb costs while meeting increased demands for care. Nursing Assistants: A Basic Study Guide targets the learning level of these workers and offers an easy-to-understand approach to federal requirements for Nursing Assistant certification.

This is probably the most resourceful guide to MP3's and the MP3 world that one can buy. It clearly defines almost any aspect of the MP3 that you might wonder about. This is one you should definitely check out!

Here is a revealing story involving the ordinary people of "The Greatest Generation" as they followed the trail of World War II's most famous icon-Kilroy-to the far away places that became the action centers of the Twentieth Century. The first-time author knew many of the heroes like those in Saving Private Ryan. He was a neighbor, friend, and fellow soldier to many of those who went off to fight in places they knew only from school texts and to other places they never knew existed. American GIs went from city streets to fight as "Dog Faces" in unfamiliar, foreign, and fearsome fields. They went from driving tractors to driving tanks. They went from driving "Model A" Fords and flying kites to flying P-51 Fighters and B-17 flying Fortress Bombers in transition periods often measured in months. The author's adventures were focused on following the places where the signs, "Kilroy was here" marked the places-especially The Kilroy Fields-where Americans created air strips all over the world. Some of these airstrips were destined to become the great international airports of today's global community, while some were destined to become the lonely airstrips on by-passed South Pacific Islands or just sand runways in the Sahara. The travel adventure memoirs, which literally go from Tahiti to Timbuktu, provide the reader with an exciting and informative guide for visiting important places of business, politics, history, geography, and PLEASURE. This book is a fascinating read for anyone with intent in the background of the Brave Men and Adventure Addresses of the twentieth century. The book was written and published before the releases of Saving Private Ryan and The Greatest Generation, and is an example of good material available without the multi-million dollar hype and promotion of current best-sellers.

This text is a great reference for statistical inference in the presence of ordering or shape restrictions. Isotonic regression, tests for trends and shape restrictions, and many other applied methodologies are presented clearly with illustrative examples. There is a strong theoretical presentation as well, viewing an isotonic regression function simple as a solution to a L2 restricted minimization problem. This blend of theory and application make this an integral text to have at your disposal.

Mr. Robertson asserts clearly and with much evidence that Christianity is little more than recycled ideas from the Pagan past. In fact there are no new ideas in it! Hillel Judiaism originated the "Do unto others..." philosophy, hundreds of gods were born of virgin moms, were killed unjustly for their beliefs, and rose again to power and glory. The story of the christ predates Jesus by several hundred years in a Passion Play that was told and retold all across the ancient world well before anybody named Jesus may have been born. And Mr. Robertson doubts Jesus was any more real than Hercules.
If you want to think for yourself this is a book for you.
