Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second
The first book in the Understanding Photography series, Understanding Exposure, was a runaway best-seller, with more than 250,000 copies sold. Now author Bryan Peterson brings his signature style to another important photography topic: shutter speed. With clear, jargon-free explanations of terms and techniques, plus compelling "before-and-after" photos that pair a mediocre image (created using the wrong shutter speed) with a great image (created using the right shutter speed), this is the definitive practical guide to mastering an often-confusing subject. Topics include freezing and implying motion, panning, zooming, exposure, Bogen Super Clamps, and rendering motion effects with Photoshop, all with helpful guidance for both digital and film formats. Great for beginners and serious amateurs, Understanding Shutter Speed is the definitive handy guide to mastering shutter speed for superb results. .

No Speed Limit: The Highs and Lows of Meth
Hell’s Angels and fallen televangelists Cross-country truckers and suburban mothers. Trailer parks, urban clubs, college campuses, and military battle?elds. Methamphetamine is the stimulant wiring every corner of American culture.
Like cocaine and heroin, meth was ?rst synthesized for medicinal purposes. By the 1940s, it was a wonder drug used to treat depression, hyperactivity, obesity, epilepsy, asthma, and addictions to other drugs and alcohol. But meth truly exploded years later when biker gang cooks using burners, beakers, and plastic tubes brought their expertise to remote rural areas where the drug could be manufactured in kitchen labs.
Acclaimed journalist Frank Owen follows users, cooks, dealers, doctors, and cops to uncover the dramatic story taking place in cities, small towns, and farm communities across America. No Speed Limit is a panoramic, high-octane investigation by a journalist who knows ?rsthand the powerful highs and frightening lows of meth. .

Wind Power Complete Guide to Wind Energy and Turbines, Practical Information for Producers and Consumers, Low Wind Speed Systems, Small Wind Electric Systems (Three CD-ROM Set)
This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on three CD-ROMs presents an incredible and totally revised collection of important documents and publications about wind energy, wind turbines, small wind electric systems, low wind speed systems, wind farms, “Wind Powering America” program, wind energy resource atlas, practical consumer information, and research by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). Encyclopedic coverage of every practical aspect of wind power is covered, including: United States Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Energy Resource Atlas; Wind Energy Meteorological Measurements; National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) National Wind Technology Center; Wind Energy Photo Gallery; Wind Turbine Technical Reports; Wind Resource Maps; Wind Power Today. Wind energy coverage includes: NREL Renewable Resource Data; DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; NREL Information Resources Catalog; Director and Management; Education Programs; Environmental Safety & Health; Climate Challenge; NREL Publications, News, Events. DOE Wind Energy Resource Atlas of the United States includes: National Wind Resource; Average Annual Wind Resource; Seasonal Variations of the Wind Resource; Certainty of Resource Estimates; Areal Distribution of Wind Resource; Regional Summaries (Northwest, North Central, Great Lakes, Northeast, East Central, Southeast, South Central, Southern Rocky Mountain, Southwest, others); Data Analysis and Assessment Methodologies;! Identification of Wind Data Sources; Wind Data Screening; Times Scales Used; Calculation of Wind Power Density; Vertical Adjustment; Wind Power Estimates for Mountainous Areas; Qualitative Indicators; Wind Power Classes; Classes of Land Surface Form. DOE Meteorological Field Measurements at Potential and Actual Wind Turbine Sites. Wind Turbine Technical Reports; Wind Power Today: Wind Energy Program Highlights 2002. NREL National Wind Technology Center: Working with Industry; Facilities Tour; For Consumers; NTWC Library; Applied Research; Turbine Research; Cooperative Research and Testing. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power that turns a generator that produces electricity to power homes, schools, businesses, and communities. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the world's winds could supply more than 10 times the current total world energy demand. With today's wind turbine technology, wind power could supply 20% of the United States' electricity. There are two ways you can power your home or business with wind: You may be able to purchase wind energy in the form of green power from your local utility, or you may be able to install a small grid-connected wind electric system to provide part of your electricity needs. A wind turbine rated from 5 to 15 kilowatts (kW) could lower your utility bill by 50% to 90%. Wind energy is a free, inexhaustible renewable resource. Wind energy is a source of clean, non-polluting electricity. A single utility scale (750 kW) wind turbine can prevent the emission of 5000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere each year. It would take 500 acres of forest to absorb that much CO2..

Allergy-Free Gardening: The Revolutionary Guide to Healthy Landscaping
With allergy problems reaching epidemic levels, horticulturist Tom Ogren set out to investigate the role that urban landscaping plays in this health crisis. What he discovered was startling: The vastly disproportionate cultivation of all-male plant varieties produces large amounts of intensely irritating airborne pollen. This extensively researched reference helps gardeners and landscapers make landscaping choices that can drastically reduce their exposure to harmful allergens..

Low-Speed Automobile Accidents: Accident Reconstruction and Occupant Kinematics, Dynamics, and Biomechanics
If you have clients who have been involved in a low-speed collision you understand the hassle caused by such accidents The insurance companies can refuse to cover injuries because there is doubt that injuries are sustained at such low speeds; this is especially true if there is little or no vehicle damage. However, the extent of damage to the cars does not indicate the extent of injury-causing loads on the passengers in the cars, particularly at low speeds. This book, now in its third edition, studies the science of reconstructing and analyzing low-speed (0-20mph) automobile accidents. You will read about analyzing accidents that result in little or no vehicle damage; how, even at low speeds, the final position of the vehicles can look as if the accident occurred at a much higher speed than the driver claims; and occupent kinematics. With this book you will also receive a silent video that includes film clips and animations to demonstrate the principles outlines in this book. No other textbook covers the subject of low speed automobile accident reconstruction as accurately and comprehensively..

Low-Speed Aerodynamics (Cambridge Aerospace Series)
Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of aircraft flying at low Mach number, and ground and marine vehicles. This text offers a modern treatment of both the theory of inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational aerodynamics, and the computational techniques now available to solve complex problems. A unique feature is that the computational approach--from a single vortex element to a three-dimensional panel formulation--is interwoven throughout. This second edition features a new chapter on the laminar boundary layer (emphasis on the viscous-inviscid coupling), the latest versions of computational techniques, and additional coverage of interaction problems. The authors include a systematic treatment of two-dimensional panel methods and a detailed presentation of computational techniques for three-dimensional and unsteady flows..
