    As a practical reference for anyone entrusted with the lives and property of others, Emergency Planning helps its readers prepare for a variety of situations--from bomb threats to fires to nuclear disasters. The authors of this book recognize the need for updated emergency planning. The "blueprints" in the appendices are useful plans for dealing with such specific emergencies as labor strikes, hurricanes, and terrorist actions.While most large governmental entities are prepared to deal with nearly all types of contingencies and emergencies, many communities and companies have few plans detailing how to respond to and recover from such events. The purpose of this book is to stimulate thought on the part of the reader, provide some practical solutions to problems that could be encountered, and offer a number of considerations for formulating emergency plans. The authors have combined their years of knowledge and experience to create some sample plans for the reader to use as models for developing site-specific plans.

  • Marine Boilers

    • 3rd Edition
    • G T H FLANAGAN
    • English
    This book provides the information on boilers and the associated equipment, as used at sea, required by marine engineers taking the Steam Paper, Class Two, for the Department of Transport's Certificate of Competency for Marine Engineer Officers. Much of the information is given in the form of comprehensive answers to typical examination questions, with supporting diagrams that help the reader to understand and remember important machinery details. In this new edition the book has been updated throughout with new material on welded boilers, various types of water tube boiler, rotary air heater, water level alarm, consolidated type safety valve, hydraulic testing and various aspects of survey, maintenance and operational problems.

  • Adult Hemiplegia Evaluation and Treatment

    Evaluation and Treatment
    • 3rd Edition
    • Berta Bobath
    • English
    This, the third edition of Berta Bobath's classic work, shows the continuation and development of treatment, while the underlying concept on which treatment was based has not changed. However, the emphasis on treatment is now more on the patient's active participation in partnership with the therapist in the holistic approach to the patient's individual problems. Moreover, treatment is no longer confined to academic exercises divorced from daily life, but makes use of familiar daily items, for example beds, tables, chairs, walls and stairs so that the patient can apply the treatment 'sessions' to daily activities.Berta Bobath has introduced some 25 per cent of new material consisting of the nature of the handicap, neurophysiological considerations, normal automatic postural reactions and abnormal postural reflex activity. In addition to the new artwork included, most of the existing artwork has been replaced. All the remaining sections have been considerably revised, updated and expanded.This new edition enables both therapy students and their teachers to increase their awareness of the problems and needs of individual patients and so increase their ability to provide the greatest possible assistance.

  • Principles of Environmental Physics

    • 2nd Edition
    • John Monteith + 1 more
    • English
    Principles of Environmental Physics discusses the physical processes which determine how living organisms respond to their environment. The authors review the relevant basic physics and discuss radiation and heat exchange, and mass and momentum transfer; applying these principles to the heat balance of plants and animals and to the micrometereology of crops.The new edition has been thoroughly revised, including further material on topics such as the effect of aerosol on solar radiation at the ground; transmission of radiation in crop stands; radiative properties; and remote sensing.Thoroughly revised and up-dated edition of a highly successful textbook.The latest information concerning the large scale effects of the breakdown of the ozone layer on plants and animals if fully dicussed.Modern techniques, particularly remote sensing via satellites, are fully discussed.
