I want to know more about force control and impedance control for manipulator robots.

I bought this book (paperback)in Seattle, WA a few years at a half price book store. I LOVED IT and after reading all the stories, I sold it back to the book store!!! B-U-T I didn't realize just how unique it was and have been trying to locate a copy of it ever since!! All the stories are classics and ironically, the publisher compiled them such that all are written in first person, which normally I would avoid. HOWEVER, THIS ANTHOLOGY OF STORIES TRANSPORTS YOU IMMEDIATELY INTO THE AUTHORS' WORLD OF ADVENTURE AND YOU NEVER WANT TO LEAVE!! EXCELLENT READING FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

I loved this account of Aviators. Rock On

To keep it plain and simple: After reading this book I've come to the conclusion that African-American history is an essential read, especially with this book. Often times, some of us may not think African-American history is rich or we may not really understand their situation in America today. This book changes that, it teaches that African-Americans have a rich history and that books like this must be read to understand their stance in American society today. GREAT BOOK.

I received the book in excellent condition. No visable wear and tear. I have not read very far into the book, so if anyone is looking for feedback as to the contets of the book, I cannot provide those at this time.

One of the best accounts of failed attempts by the government to restrict religious freedom in a country where it is supposed to be a birthright. The Worldwide Church of God, a Christian Church situated in Pasadena, California, is attacked by the state and put under a receivership based on the claims of ex-members. What follows is the inspiring true story of the ambitions of the then-attorney general of arguably the most powerful state in the union to regulate Church property and thus unavoidably Church activities, and the worldwide membership of this Church which fights against it. If you are interested in the historic struggle of Religion to survive in the face of government opposition, then this book is for you. It is inspiring, not only for members of the WCG, but for Churches nationwide (worldwide even) as even those religious organizations opposed to the Worldwide Church of God stand up for religious freedom... fighting against what some feel is the most calculated attack ever made.

I guess my comments might be taken as somewhat skewed, as I am a proud member of the Worldwide Church of God, but I can honestly say that the story would inspire me REGARDLESS of the Church it came from. Its a must-read for those who feel the tightening grip of the government over our historic right to believe and worship God as our consciences require

The collaborative effort of Renee Rose Shield (Clinical Associate Professor of Community Health, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island) and Stanley M. Aronson (University Professor of Medical Science and Dean of Medicine Emeritus, Brown University), Aging In Today's World: Conversations Between An Anthropologist And A Physician is an informed and informative inquiry the addresses the complex subject of aging, and which confronts some very tough questions from a sociological and a medical standpoint, including "What is successful aging?"; "Is aging a burden or a gift?"; and "Where is aging located?" A college-level study covering both common issues and more obscure philosophical dilemmas, Aging In Today's World is a welcome and very highly recommended contribution to Geriatric Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.

This is a great book. Page after page of Girard's designs. Color and black and white photos. Few people know that, aside from textiles, Alexander Girard was responsible for some of Herman Miller's earliest modern furniture. His furniture design are also outlined in this book.

This book includes An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce, The Specialty of the House by Stanley Ellin, Midnight Express by Alfred Noyes, and Dip in the Pool by Roald Dahl
