It's been more than a decade since the first Porsche High
Performance Driving Handbook" set the standard for getting the most
out of a Porsche. If driving techniques haven't changed since then,
technology definitely has. This book, by the world's foremost
expert, takes that new technology into account as it gives readers
the latest information on how to drive a Porsche to its limit.
Once upon a time, the Can Am and Trans Am race series changed
their rules because Vic Elford and his Porsches were winning too
often. Here Quick Vic shares his insights into ride control
systems, new tire compounds, and Tiptronic and Direct-Shift Gearbox
transmissions, all of which have transformed the experience--and
the challenge--of driving a Porsche.
As he discusses recent models, ranging from new generations of the
911 to the whole-cloth inventions of the Boxster, Cayenne, Cayman S
and Carrera GT, modern images and historical photos immerse the
reader in both the history and the evolving technology that Vic
Elford knows like no one else.

"This book fills a gap on the shelf of practical books. We know of
no other like it. Its author has been making dolls' houses for
several years, some of them have been sold at high prices. In her
book she gives full instructions for building a variety of most
attractive houses which can be made by anyone reasonably good with
their hands. First is a model schoolhouse that could be made by
schoolchildren from cheap and handy materials. The next is a modern
house and shop that could be made by an older child or an adult,
perhaps as a present for a younger child who would be able to
decorate and furnish it. The third, and most ambitious scheme, is a
nineteenth century draper's shop, with a flat above it. They
include a Westmorland Farmhouse, A Tall Villa, A Sea Side Boarding
House, A Sweet Shop and a Public House." Contents Include: A School
- A Confectioner's Shop and Caf, 1956 - A Late Victorian Draper's
Shop - A Westmorland Farmhouse - A Tall Villa - 'Sea View' - A
Sweet Shop - A Hunting Lodge - A Miniature Doll's House - A Public
House - A cabinet in the Form of a Doll's House
Dale Borman Fink, the author of the only book on inclusion of
youth with special needs in before and after school child care, now
presents the first book to examine the experiences of children with
disabilities participating in youth programs alongside their
typical peers. This book is the product of Fink's quest to learn as
much as possible about one community's experience with the
inclusion of children with special needs in youth programs. Using a
case study technique, he probes into the issues and dynamics that
influence the increasing participation of kids with disabilities in
such activities as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and park and recreation
programs.
Fink enters a Midwestern community of 14,000, which he calls
Wabash, interviewing the parents, the professionals, the peers, the
community leaders, and the volunteers about the participation of
children with disabilities. How does a girl who relies on an
augmentative communication device take part in a Brownie troop?
What do other tee-ball players think about a teammate with cerebral
palsy? Why does one family refuse to use the local drop-in
recreation center? Readers will learn what practices are evolving
and what opportunities are being overlooked. Fink makes his own
biases and interpretations plain, and he shares part of his own
biography along the way. But it is the voices and experiences of
the people of Wabash, rather than those of the author, that invest
this book with such power and such importance to all who are
concerned with youth with special needs.
The Mythographic series offers dreamlike scenes with intricate
