Hey Dad, Let's Have a Catch
The simple, yet meaningful, father and son activity becomes the focal point of this children's book. Through the eyes of an only child, the five minute catches, in between two jobs his father held, were precious moments and more than a physical activity. A catch becomes a metaphor for communication between father and son, parent and child as the dynamics of the catch change through the years, sadly end and are reborn as the son becomes a father himself. A catch is depicted as a process, a rite of passage and a gift to pass along..

Theory of Beam-Columns, Volume 2: Space Behavior and Design (J. Ross Publishing Classics)
Chen and Atsuta have extended their comprehensive work on the analysis of beam-columns into three dimensions in this second volume. They have systematically developed the full theory for steel and concrete elements up to their ultimate limit states. The theoretical refinements to cover the residual stesses, plasticity, local and overall buckling and their interaction are well set out. -Jonathan Wood in New Civil Engineer This second volume of a two-volume work discusses systematically the complete theory of space beam-columns. The book presents principles and methods of analysis for beam-columns in space, which should be the basis for structural design, and shows how these theories are applied for the solution of practical design problems. With the importance of the role of beam-columns in modern structures, this set of books will be invaluable to structural engineers, designers, specification writing bodies, and researchers. An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1977, 752pp. Key Features -Provides differential equations of beam-columns in space that are derived from general forms and are given in their corresponding elastic solutions -Covers the plastic behavior of cross sections, strain hardening, elastic unloadings, and various numerical solution methods -Includes design problems of plastic beam-columns in space that are solved applying various numerical methods: approximate deflection method, influence coefficient method, and others.

Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber: The Katya Livingston Chronicles
After weasel-eyed tax inspectors question her work-related claims, Katya Livingston is forced to keep a financial diary. As well as documenting the cruel and parsimonious ways of her ad agency boss, Katya waxes lyrical about putting up with loser friends, mortal enemies, and thoroughly bad restaurants. She also throws in a completely candid account of her love life, just in case some of it is tax deductible. What begins as a private account of expenses rapidly becomes, through Katya's chronic delusions of grandeur, a matter of public record: first as a tawdry gossip column, then as a salacious book, and finally as a Hollywood B-movie.Bitingly written with wit and style reminiscent of Candace Bushnell, Adèle Lang's novel is a cutting, bitchy, hilarious take on the young-single-British-woman genre. .
