This is a fully revised edition of the successful text,
Introductory Mathematics for Economists. Updated throughout, it
covers the essential mathematics required by students of economics
and business. The emphasis is on applying mathematics rather than
providing theorems, and a wide range of applications are covered
with detailed answers provided for many of the exercises.
The book is structured, and the material deliberately selected, to
increase in difficulty as the book progresses. Subjects covered
include: algebra; linear equations, with immediate applications in
simple economic models of markets and the national economy; natural
generalizations of elementary matrix algebra and non-linear
equations; applications in finance; the groundwork for calculus;
profit maximization for a firm, simple inventory models, and other
applications of marginal concepts; integration covering both
standard analytical techniques and numerical methods; partial
differentiation; linear programming; and dynamic relationships in
continuous terms and in discrete terms. Three appendices provide
extensive treatment of trigonometric functions, an introduction to
set theory, and detailed answers to all exercises provided.
Incapacitating Biochemical Weapons examines the promise and peril
behind weapons based on natural or synthetic biochemical compounds
that are meant to cause rapid incapacitation but not to kill. An
agent has yet to be found that can effectively incapacitate people
without risk of death when used in a real-world military or law
enforcement situation. But revolutionary advances in the life
sciences and biotechnology are generating new knowledge and
potentially greater capabilities for manipulating human
consciousness, emotions, mental functions, and behavior. These
advances, coupled with the changing nature of conflict and warfare
in the 21st century, are generating renewed government interest in
incapacitating biochemical weapons. Governments, international
organizations, and society as a whole have critical decisions to
make about whether and how to pursue the development, or conversely
the effective prohibition, of incapacitating biochemical weapons.
This book provides a comprehensive survey of the scientific,
military, humanitarian, legal, and political issues associated with
the development and use of incapacitating biochemical weapons. The
expert contributing authors explore a wide range of issues
pertinent to the topic from science to history to current military
interest, arms control, and international law.Incapacitating
Biochemical Weapons: Promise or Peril? will be of interest to
scientists, the military and law enforcement communities,
policy-makers, and all who are concerned about the proliferation of
such weapons.

The central concern of this book is that good nursing has a powerful effect on health and healing.;The text outlines the historical development of this emerging concept and attempts to offer a number of perspectives which scrutinize the concept. It also gives pointers to what is therapeutic in nursing and to future directions which will exploit the therapeutic potential embodied in the process of nursing.
Evidence synthesis is the evaluation or analysis of research
evidence and opinion on a specific topic to aid in decision-making
in health care. Although the science of evidence synthesis has
developed most rapidly in relation to the meta-analysis of
numerical data linked to theories of cause and effect, the further
development of theoretical understandings and propositions of the
nature of evidence, its role in health care delivery, and the
facilitation of improved global health have increased rapidly since
2000. The articles appearing in this issue examine the role of
evidence synthesis in nursing and health care and are written by
expert translational scientists from across the world. Three
introductory articles overview evidence synthesis and its role in
evidence-based health care; methods, issues, and trends in the
systematic review of health care evidence; and the development of a
robust evidence base for nursing. Subsequent articles explore the
impact of systematic reviews on policy and practice in a variety of
settings, including perioperative care, pediatrics, rehabilitation
and long-term/continuing care, mental health, and public health.
The final articles discuss the impact of evidence on health policy
and practice and the complexities of translating evidence into
policy and practice. These articles show the importance of
synthesizing evidence and translating policy and practice into
action in our quest to improve health care and health outcomes.
OVER 130 DRILLS AND EXCERCISES FOR STRENGTH, AGILITY AND QUICKNESS
Tennis is a dynamic, explosive sport that requires a wide range of
skills and a high level of fitness. To play your best, you must
combine proper form with peak physcial ability. "Ultimate
Conditioning for Tennis" offers a program for building a rock-solid
physical foundation for developing a winning game.
Including exercises for everyone from beginner to club pro, the
book provides a complete program that incorporates aerobics,
plyometrics and functional training. Each exercise is illustrated
with step-by-step photos and explained in terms of how it will
improve your game--from faster strokes to shaper volleys and
perfectly placed passing shots.
-Cover the court better
-Add power to your shot
-Hit perfectly placed winners
The first edition of this ground-breaking book was acclaimed for
identifying the role of nursing in the healing process and,
therefore, as a major therapeutic force in patient care. The second
edition has both anticipated and kept pace with change, with many
new and rewritten chapters. Examining therapeutic nursing from an
international perspective, this edition has new chapters on
practice, quality, education and the politics of nursing as
therapy.
