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.
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.

Most modellers, regardless of what scale they work in, rely heavily
on the humble plastic or metal kit, and this book will help both
novice and more experienced modellers to achieve the very best
results. George Dent presents here a clearly written foundation
course in constructing rolling stock from kits.
Many railway modellers include an engine shed somewhere on their
layout. However, all too often the shed is squeezed into a quite
improbable location and is little more than a place to 'park'
engines when they are not in use. This well-illustrated and
comprehensive book, written by an experienced railway modeller,
helps even the beginner to develop a far more realistic approach
and to capture the unforgettable grimy but exciting atmosphere of
the locomotive shed in the steam era.
Written by an acknowledged expert, this practical book is essential
reading for all those railway modellers who wish to build a bridge
or a viaduct for their layout. This new book contains in-depth
descriptions and photographs of real-life bridges located around
Britain (and one in New Zealand), ranging from the small to the
monumental, from which the modeller can gain ideas and draw
inspiration. As an essential aid to modelling, the constituent
parts of the bridges are described as well as the engineering
principles that make them 'work' and the materials from which they
are built. Step-by-step instructions and photographs depict the
construction in plasticard of five models: a simple girder bridge;
a truss-girder bridge; a masonry arch bridge; a plate-girder
bridge; and a viaduct. Covers prototype research, taking
measurements, modelling materials and tools.
