Gale Encyclopedia of Everyday Law
By: Shirelle Phelps(Editor)
ISBN-10: 078765759X
ISBN-13: 9780787657598
Publisher: Thomson Gale (2002-11)
Hardcover: 1259 Pages
Format: PDF
Written in direct, informal language, this encyclopedia succeeds in explaining the law to laypeople. Divided into two volumes, it provides short (2000- to 5000-word) essays in 24 alphabetically arranged subject areas (e.g., automobiles, civil rights, consumer issues, estate planning, First Amendment issues, retirement, and taxes). The text starts with an overview of the American legal system, explaining the various types of laws and tribunals. The essays in the first section, on the Americans with Disabilities Act, contain a short overview of the law, using boldface for terms (e.g., discrimination) defined in the glossary. Essays in other sections cover issues ranging from buying and selling real estate to traveling with children to elder abuse. Each essay includes a list of additional resources and organizations, including numerous web sites. The references vary widely, with some essays directing readers to law review articles and academic texts and others citing popular, self-help law books. In future editions, it would help if the editor provided a list of the best resources or specific advice on where a reader wanting "how to" advice should go. It would also help if the glossary cited the pages on which the terms are cited. In comparison, Nolo's Encyclopedia of Everyday Law, 3d ed., is more practical for consumer use. However, it is also less scholarly than the Gale volumes and less suitable for research. Ultimately, Gale has given readers a useful treatise. Recommended for larger collections.-Harry Charles, Attorney at Law, St. Louis Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

With more than 3,000 alphabetically arranged entries and 500 stunning color and black-and-white photographs, star maps, and diagrams, The Astronomy Encyclopedia covers everything that the general enthusiast--and the more serious researcher--would want to know about planets, stars, galaxies, and our universe.

It includes a host of major articles on the cornerstones of astronomical investigation, such as the Milky Way, the sun and the planets, optical and radio telescopes, stars, black holes, astrophysics, observatories, astronomical photography, space programs, the constellations, and famous astronomers. And there are concise entries on planetary features and satellites, asteroids, observational techniques, comets, satellite launchers, meteors, and subjects as diverse as life in the Universe and the structure of meteorites. Scores of tables list the brightest stars in the major constellations, annual meteor showers, major variable stars, dwarf stars, energy production processes in the Sun, and other relevant data. More than 100 astronomers from leading universities and observatories around the world, each an expert in their own particular field, wrote and reviewed the entries to ensure their authority.

Beginning Wing Chun: Why Wing Chun Works
By Alan Gibson
ISBN / ASIN: 1840245468
Publisher: Summersdale Publishers
Number Of Pages: 160
Publication Date: 2006-11-06
Format: PDF 
Wing Chun, also known as Ving Tsun and Wing Tsun, is a system of Chinese kung fu. Originally a secret family system,
this sophisticated art was passed on to relatives and close, trusted friends. The effectiveness of Wing Chun as a functional fighting method is well documented; it has been honed over the years to be simple, direct and effective. Wing Chun employs its unique understanding of bio-mechanics, angles and sensitivity to overcome aggression. The exercises are scientific in approach, and training can be carried out in a friendly atmosphere of co-operation as opposed to one of competition. With regular and correct training, it is possible for a novice to become competent within one year, although, as with any true art, practical
ability is only the beginning. There is always room for deeper exploration, further development and personal interpretation.

Textpattern is a powerful, PHP-based content management system that allows you to
build pretty much any kind of data-driven website quickly and easily. It is very
popular among designers and developers alike, and has an active community of users.
Sound good? Well, you're in luckthe book you're holding now shows you how to use
every aspect of Textpattern to a professional standard. Textpattern (and this book)
appeals to two main groups of people: Firstly, the web designer who has mastered
the fundamentals of XHTML and CSS and wants to create sites that have fresh and
dynamically changing information, but is not familiar with server-side coding and
databases. Never fearTextpattern enables you to integrate your XHTML knowledge,
inserting dynamic aspects into your already solid site design. Secondly, PHP
developers who are looking for a content management system upon which to build
additional functionality and want a hand with the design aspects of their site.
Again, Textpattern fills in those holes. The book leaves no stone unturned. It
starts by introducing you to Textpattern and guiding you through its very simple
installation process. After the core features of the administrative interface
are explored, the book dives into building sites with TXP, using CSS, articles,
forms, pages, and more to create fully customized templates. Development follows
next, looking at installing plugins and building your own custom plugins to
further enhance your Textpattern-based site. The book concludes with several
case studies to provide ideas and inspiration, including a weblog, an e-commerce
site, and an online review directory.
In this book you will:
* Learn to develop websites quickly using Textpattern's intuitive
templating language.
* Learn to use Textpattern to build e-commerce websites, including
customer feedback and reviews.
* Learn to use Textpattern and web standards to create blogs and
community sites with dynamically driven content.
* Learn how to integrate your own style of coding and design with a
content management system that catalyses, rather than hinders, your creativity.
* Learn how to use PHP to create Textpattern plugins, adding custom
functionality and features to uniquely suit the needs of your website.
