A beautiful and hopeful story of how a young impassioned naturalist
grows up to change the world. For everyone who cares about our
fragile planet. Rachel was a girl who loved science and the sea
books and writing and all the creatures of the world. Rachel was
quiet, a listener by nature. But when she saw problems, she could
not remain silent. Some people thought girls shouldn't be
scientists or writers. They thought girls shouldn't use their
voices to question or challenge even to protect all the creatures
of the world. Luckily Rachel didn't listen to them.
The biggest American tragedy most people know little about.

The authors describe in detail the capture and use of design
rationale in software engineering to improve the quality of
software. Their book is the first comprehensive and unified
treatment of rationale usage in software engineering. It provides a
consistent conceptual framework and a unified terminology for
comparing, contrasting and combining the myriad approaches to
rationale in software engineering. It is both an excellent
introductory text and a uniquely valuable reference.
Many decisions are required throughout the software development
process. These decisions, and to some extent the decision-making
process itself, can best be documented as the rationale for the
system, which will reveal not only what was done during development
but the reasons behind the choices made and alternatives considered
and rejected. This information becomes increasingly critical as
software development becomes more distributed and encompasses the
corporate knowledge both used and refined during the development
process. The capture of rationale helps to ensure that decisions
are well thought out and justified and the use of rationale can
help avoid the mistakes of the past during both the development of
the current system and when software products (architecture and
design, as well as code) are reused in future systems.
Burge, Carroll, McCall, and Mistrik describe in detail the
capture and use of design rationale in software engineering to
improve the quality of software. Their book is the first
comprehensive and unified treatment of rationale usage in software
engineering. It provides a consistent conceptual framework and a
unified terminology for comparing, contrasting and combining the
myriad approaches to rationale in software engineering. It is both
an excellent introductory text for those new to the field and a
uniquely valuable reference for experienced rationale researchers.
The book covers the use of rationale for decision making throughout
the software lifecycle, starting from the first decisions in a
project and continuing through requirements definition, design,
implementation, testing, maintenance, redesign and reuse."

A perfect companion to our
From the award-winning author of All the Broken Pieces and
Serafina's Promise comes a breathtaking new novel that is her most
transcendent and widely accessible work to date. The day Grace is
called from the slave cabins to work in the Big House, Mama makes
her promise to keep her eyes down. Uncle Jim warns her to keep her
thoughts tucked private in her mind or they could bring a whole lot
of trouble and pain. But the more Grace sees of the heartless
Master and hateful Missus, the more a rightiness voice clamors in
her head--asking how come white folks can own other people, sell
them on the auction block, and separate families forever. When that
voice escapes without warning, it sets off a terrible chain of
events that prove Uncle Jim's words true. Suddenly, Grace and her
family must flee deep into the woods, where they brave deadly
animals, slave patrollers, and the uncertainty of ever finding
freedom. With candor and compassion, Ann E. Burg sheds light on a
startling chapter of American history--the remarkable story of
runaways who sought sanctuary in the Great Dismal Swamp--and
creates a powerful testament to the right of every human to be
free.
In der modernen neurologischen Rehabilitation gewinnen die Begriffe
"Bewegungskontrolle" und "Bewegungslernen" immer mehr an
Bedeutung.
Wie wird Bewegung vom zentralen Nervensystem gesteuert?
Wie kann durch neurologische Verletzungen oder Erkrankungen
beeintrachtigte Bewegungsfahigkeit verbessert oder
wiederhergestellt werden?
Das Standardwerk von Umphred eroffnet Physio- und Ergotherapeuten
einen vollstandigen und praxisorientierten Einblick in die
Arbeitsweise des ZNS und in die Schlusselfunktion des limbischen
Systems fur die Therapie. Es demonstriert anhand vieler Beispiele,
wie erwachsene Patienten durch den gezielten Einsatz der bekannten
therapeutischen Mittel noch effizienter gefordert werden konnen."
