Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2015 Woodhead Publishing hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Handbook of Offshore Helicopter Transport Safety explores topics including safety management systems, safety briefings, survival equipment, underwater egress training, water impact/ditching statistics, and search and rescue. Each area of interest details pertinent information spanning approximately 30 years of offshore operations. The first three chapters look at helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) programs, their development, and training, safety regulations, standards, and decision-making in extreme environments. Subsequent chapters cover physiological and psychological responses to HUET and cold-water immersion, followed by three final chapters on the fidelity of simulation in HUET, emergency breathing systems, and helicopter transportation suits.

Includes Editors Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Antione de Saint. Exupery; Introduction; Acknowledgments; About the Editors; and Credits. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "From the reflections of famous people and the stories of everyday folk to classic love letters and contemporary "Ten Best" lists, this delightfully eclectic treasury shines a spotlight on the many joys of marriage. I Like Being Married is the ultimate celebration of the ties that keep loving couples together in good times and bad. With a guest list that includes Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Nancy and Ronald Reagan, Queen Victoria, George Burns, and Secretary of State Colin Powell (to name just a few); poetic tributes from Homer, Shakespeare, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning: and wedding readings from the Bible and other religious traditions, it captures the magic and deep-seated sense of commitment at the heart of married life. I Like Being Married shows that the institution of marriage is integral to our common humanity. There are heartwarming stories of courtship - including Mikhail Gorbachev's charming "Chasing Raisa" and Rosalyn Carter's story of meeting Jimmy for the first time, Jerry Stiller, Celine Dion, and others who have broken the "rules" describe how they overcame family expectations, age differences, and other obstacles to wed the people they love. In moving and amusing portraits, husbands and wives reveal the qualities and the quirks that make their mates endearing, and vignettes by Ruby Dee, Roy Rogers, and Walter Payton capture the special joys that children bring to a marriage. Long-married couples look back on a lifetime of love - and look forward to the future with hope. Lists of the ten best books, songs, movies, and sitcoms about marriage, along with evocative illustrations, round off this unusual, multifaceted look at marital bliss. Filled with stories, memories, and musings, I Like Being Married not only is an ideal gift for showers, weddings, and anniversaries but is the perfect way to explore the true meaning of marriage." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

He was the superintendent of the SF Mint in 1897 and in 1907 was named director of the US mints in Washington DC. Superintendent of S.F. Mint; 1897 - 1907; Director of the Mint, Washingon D.C. 1907.After 1914 he managed the People's Water Co. of Oakland. .OBITUARY From the OAKLAND TRIBUNE, Thursday Evening, June 20 1929.Funeral services for Frank A. Leach, California pioneer newspaper publisher and political figure, who died yesterday at the age of 82 years, will be held tomorrow from the Masonic cathedral, Fifteenth and Madison Streets.The services will be conducted by Naval lodge, No. 87 of Vallejo, with which Leach had been affiliated for 58 years. Following the service, which will start at 3 P. M., Burial will take place at Mountain View cemetery.Leach died at Merritt hospital yesterday morning after a sudden breakdown in health two months ago.For more than a half-century he was a prominent figure in California. Born in Auburn, N. Y., of a pioneer American family, he was brought to California as an infant by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Leach. The family lived successively in San Francisco, Sacramento, Napa, Vallejo, and Oakland.Leach attended private school in Sacramento until the first public school was opened there and completed his education at the age of 17 in Napa. He became an apprentice printer and there gained the experience which enabled him to found first the Napa Daily Reporter, then the Vallejo Chronicle and finally with A. B. Nye and W. F. Burbank the Oakland Enquirer.Named To Legislature.His political career was launched in Vallejo in 1879 when he was elected to the state legislature as representative for Solano County. He served two terms and from 1882 to 1884 was postmaster of Vallejo.In 1897 he was appointed by President McKinley as superintendent of the mint in San Francisco and held that position for 10 years.During the fire which struck San Francisco in 1906, Leach achieved national recognition by providing an emergency financial system for the stricken city. The mint was the only financial institution which remained intact and bank officials turned to Leach for aid. He recommended that, through their eastern credits, they secure telegraphic transfer of funds by United States treasury orders on the San Francisco mint and use such funds in establishing a temporary central bank representing all the banks of the city.Local bankers supplied tellers and bookkeepers and the emergency financial institution was established in the mint and performed invaluable in restoring order out of the chaos of disaster.Named Fund Treasurer.When the magnitude of the disaster became known in Washington, Leach was asked to report on the situation and recommend relief measure to the treasury Department. He suggested free telegraphic transfer of funds from the east, payable in orders on the mint. President Roosevelt named Leach treasurer and through the system he received and disbursed more than $40,000,000 in 6 weeks' time without a single loss.Leach's work following the disaster is credited with having influenced his appointment, in 1907, as director-general of United States mints with headquarters in Washington, a post he held until 1909.He resigned then to become president and manager of the People's Water Company of Oakland, serving in that capacity until October 1911 when he retired. In July 1912, however, he was called out of retirement to again become Superintendent of the San Francisco mint following the death of Judge Sweeney. He resigned in August 1913.Survivi. …
