For those who have ever thought they were too old or too unfit to
compete in a triathlon, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete will
prove that it is never too late to compete! This is a story about
overcoming life's obstacles-from injury and business trouble to
grief and loss and everything in between. Hilary Topper was a
48-year-old working mother who once upon a time had practically
failed high school gym class. She was working 60-plus hours a week,
running a small business. Her focus was on others-her children, her
aging parents, and her staff. In the meantime, her weight kept
increasing, and she was unhappy with the way her life was going.
She needed a change. To turn things around, she joined a gym for
the first time in her life. This book will take the reader on
Hilary's decade-long journey as she trains for and runs her first
5K, swims the aqua-blue waters of the Caribbean, cycles a hilly
course in Milwaukee, learns how to run-walk her way through the New
York City Marathon, and competes in her first triathlon in Sanibel,
Florida. The reader will be right with Hilary as she narrates each
experience-even a 5-mile swim in the murky waters of Long Island.
Hilary's story will move, motivate, and inspire readers. They will
laugh and cry as they follow her on her journey.
Cultural psychology and experimental existential psychology are two
of the fastest-growing movements in social psychology. In this
book, Daniel Sullivan combines both perspectives to present a
groundbreaking analysis of culture's role in shaping the psychology
of threat experience. The first part of the book presents a new
theoretical framework guided by three central principles: that
humans are in a unique existential situation because we possess
symbolic consciousness and culture; that culture provides
psychological protection against threatening experiences, but also
helps to create them; and that interdisciplinary methods are vital
to understanding the link between culture and threat. In the second
part of the book, Sullivan presents a novel program of research
guided by these principles. Focusing on a case study of a
traditionalist group of Mennonites in the midwestern United States,
Sullivan examines the relationship between religion, community,
guilt, anxiety, and the experience of natural disaster.
AN INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY by Daniel J. Sullivan is intended for
the general reader as well as for the student. Its primary purpose
is to present the elements of philosophy with simplicity and
clarity in order to arouse that sense of wonder which Aristotle
says is the beginning of the love of wisdom.
This well-structured overview begins with an historical study of
philosophy, tracing the evolution of philosophical problems from
their simplest origins, and continues with an analysis of the more
concrete problems about man himself. The more abstract problems of
man and his relation to the world around him make up the final
study of this book.
Sullivan works in the great classical, realist tradition of Plato,
Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, and their modern-day inheritors,
exposing the perennially valid and vital principles of philosophy
and emphasizing the profound moral and social implications of these
principles. He respects the distinction between natural and
revealed wisdom, but does not hesitate to point out how the
conclusions of philosophy are complemented by the truths of
revelation.
AN INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY clearly demonstrates that philosophy
is a good deal more than a classroom exercise.
According to the National Resources Defense Council, stormwater runoff rivals or exceeds discharges from factories and sewage plants as a source of pollution throughout the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency identifies urban stormwaters as the second largest source of water quality damage in estuaries and a significant contributor to the damage to lakes, rivers, and bays.
The full impacts of marginal pollution, particularly that caused by uncontrolled overflows, must be recognized now and planning needs to be initiated to improve sewerage sytem efficiencies in order to bring wastewater flows under control. Time is of the essence for municipal programs because corrective action is a time consuming process. Current research and development is elucidating the most efficient and least costly methods needed to restore and maintain water resources.
Based on seminars presented by international experts for the U.S. EPA, Wet-Weather Flow in the Urban Watershed: Technology and Management covers a broad spectrum of urban wet-weather flow management and pollution abatement topics. The topics covered will assist municipal engineers, consultants, and academic researchers with design, cost, and water quality issues.
