Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book presents a comprehensive, yet concise analysis of groundwater occurrence, its development, technology involved in exploration, extraction, and its economical usage.The book makes use of minimum technical jargon, while explaining the basics of drilling, types of wells, their maintenance, development and testing, and selection of pumps. It discusses the causes for wells failing, methods of diagnosis and the pre-emptive and remedial measures, water transmission, composition, and purification. Unlike other natural resources, groundwater is replenished by rainfall. Nevertheless those who depend on groundwater either for industrial or agricultural sustenance should be responsive to certain factors that are significant to the long-term well-being of the water source. Important are: Whether the wells are being over-pumped, or under-pumped; the quantity and cost of water being drawn, whether there is sufficient water underground with optimum replenishment, and systems installed are compatible to the particular hydrological situation and similar such factors. The book attempts, in simplistic language, to link the gap between theory and practice; between the principles of groundwater as a natural science and its application technology. There are a number of pre-calculated tables that serve as a handy reference for Consultants, Drillers and Engineers who deal with groundwater on a day-to-day basis.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Fifty-Two Weeks with God is composed of fifty-two meditations on God, God's creation, and men and women who gave their lives for others. The book begins with New Year, the time we think of what we have done before and repent and resolve to correct ourselves. We sit in awe at God's magnificent creation and what He has done for us. We meditate on the lives of others who felt the call to follow Christ and care for those in need. We meditate on the innocent children whose characters and beliefs we mold as we care for them by word and deed. We meditate on the spirit of God, the spirit of love and truth. We meditate on God's promise for us to be with him in the warmth of his love for eternity if we follow His example and teaching.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The phenomena of closed head injury have plagued our society since its inception. From the stress and horror of our wars (now Iran and Iraq), with the violent impacts in our most aggressive sports, to the mundane trauma of falling off a bike or getting hit in the head by a swing or a bat or a ball, the effects of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) have become such an accepted way of life, that many do not even know that they have suffered a closed head injury and how dramatically it influences their everyday actions and reactions. Its often frequent companion, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), is now so recognized that public violence and catastrophic natural disasters demand psychologists to minimize the effects of this recognized condition. For twenty-seven years, the author has had to fight his horrible battle with TBI and PTSD alone, with little help from even the most informed. In the last five years, these maladies have become widely recognized. Only recently has the medical profession and the news media discussed TBI and PTSD openly in televised documentaries. The author, in a deeply personal and poignant way, has put into words the gamut of feelings, which so many others who suffer and deal with TBI and PTSD have been unable to articulate.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Growing up on Green Street in Laredo, Texas, Ricardo Palacios made the wilderness his playground. The woods, the nearby creek, and the vastness of Chacon Creek Canyon transported him and his young friends away from the strife and poverty of the barrio and into the splendor of nature. Looking back on his life, Palacios reflects on seventy years of memories-from his birth through his days at the all-male St. Joseph's Academy Catholic school, capturing the powerful camaraderie he shared with his classmates and his experiences playing high school football. He next takes a hard look at his college years, during which he flunked out twice before finally making the commitment to graduate with honors and obtain a law degree. Palacios places his life experiences under a microscope, sharing periods of heavy alcohol use, very stressful years as a rookie attorney, and tales from the trenches about the pitfalls, successes, and failures of his legal practice. He describes his twenty-eight-year marriage, pondering how and why it failed, and tells of wonderful years raising his children on a cattle ranch, with plenty of opportunities for hunting and camping. Green Street Kid is more than the story of one man's life. It is a portrait of the life and culture of South Texas, where the majority of the population is Hispanic and conflicts sometimes develop between Hispanics and Anglos. It is a story of falling down and rising up again.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Todo en la vida es parte de un propósito.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Me gusta escribir. Desde niño, era mi pasatiempo preferido. Mientras los más jóvenes salían a caminar, después de laborar en la finca todo el día, me acogía a un lugar tranquilo en la casona y empezaba a escribir. Solo escribía, no sabía por qué, pero escribía. Estuve tres años escribiendo una novela, la titulé, La Farza del Tirano. No sé el porqué del título. Hace un tiempo ya en mi edad madura, bastante madura; empecé a reescribirla, aún está por terminarla pero la cantidad de errores, tanto de ortografía, como de sintaxis, no me han permitido terminarla. No sé porqué la escribí, insisto que debió ser porque le cogí miedo a la obscuridad. Los caminos eran largos para salir de la finca. Se decían muchos cuentos de miedo; que salía alguien al camino que le mirara los pies; si no los veía, era un muerto aparecido; que si alguien arrastraba cadenas en la noche, eran muertos en faena. Me acuerdo de los cuentos de nuestros viejos, y me salía un frio por la espalda, que me erizaba los pelos de todo el cuerpo. De manera, que a esto quizás se debía a que me diera por escribir y esto ha sido durante mi vida un enorme descanso de la trajina diaria. Así que estos cuentos, o narraciones son productos de mi pluma en tiempo de descanso, de los momentos de descanso emocional en que he vivido en una vida agitada por mi propio interés. No porque me haya escondido de mirar los problemas y las tensiones que se viven hoy. De manera que desde el cuento o escrito de Los Veinticuatro hasta el fantasma de la 446, son extracciones casi sacada de las experiencias de vida, que han forjado una vida agradecida al Creador y completamente feliz de mi propia existencia. De ahí es que surgen estos relatos, tratados de hacerlos como cuentos, para que puedan ser leídos por aquellos que engrandecen su tiempo de solas y descanso. Por eso digo que la vida es interesante. Quien la ha vivido a plenitud, puede cerciorarse de ello. Los nombres son ficticios, pero no así las vivencias. En el siglo pasado fueron una realidad social que hoy añoramos todos. …
