The author of the controversial bestseller "Brain Trust" brings his
scientific expertise to the chilling true story of unexplained
phenomena on Utah's Skinwalker Ranch -- and challenges us with a
new vision of reality.
For more than fifty years, the bizarre events at a remote Utah
ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying.
Vanishing and mutilated cattle. Unidentified Flying Objects. The
appearance of huge, otherworldly creatures. Invisible objects
emitting magnetic fields with the power to spark a cattle stampede.
Flying orbs of light with dazzling maneuverability and lethal
consequences. For one family, life on the Skinwalker Ranch had
become a life under siege by an unknown enemy or enemies. Nothing
else could explain the horrors that surrounded them -- perhaps
science could.
Leading a first-class team of research scientists on a disturbing
odyssey into the unknown, Colm Kelleher spent hundreds of days and
nights on the Skinwalker property and experienced firsthand many of
its haunting mysteries. With investigative reporter George Knapp --
the only journalist allowed to witness and document the team's work
-- Kelleher chronicles in superb detail the spectacular happenings
the team observed personally, and the theories of modern physics
behind the phenomena. Far from the coldly detached findings one
might expect, their conclusions are utterly hair-raising in their
implications. Opening a door to the unseen world around us, "Hunt
for the Skinwalker" is a clarion call to expand our vision far
beyond what we know.
Dr. Abbott was a professor of Clinical Medicine in the College of
Medical Evangelists (now known as Loma Linda University Hospital)
located in Loma Linda, California. When this book was first printed
in 1912, Dr. Abbott wrote, "The urgent need of a nurses' textbook
on hydrotherapy has induced the author to attempt to meet this
need. The principles and curative effects are discussed in such
simplified language as to be readily comprehended by the average
nurse." The directions are simple enough for anyone to follow in
their own home. The procedures of hydrotherapy... [are] excellent
and may be said to contain the last word as to what may be done
with water. What to use and how to use it are carefully set down
and the most inexperienced novice could not fail to comprehend the
instructions." -M. E. Cameron, R.N. American Journal of Nursing

Das vorliegende Heft der Werkstattbucher wendet sich in erster
Linie an 1 den intelligenten Dreher ). Er soll in der Lage sein,
sich die Wechselrader selbst ausrechnen zu konnen. Aber auch dem
Meister und dem Betriebsingenieur wird es gute Dienste leisten.
Besonders sei an dieser Stelle auf das Kapitel "Wechsel
raderberechnung fur schwierige Steigungen" hingewiesen, in dem eine
neue Art der Wechselradbestimmung veroffentlicht wird. Als einziges
Hilfsmittel wird dazu eine Faktorentafel benotigt, die in dem Hefte
enthalten und fur den vor liegenden Verwendungszweck besonders
hergerichtet ist: alle Primzahlen und alle Zahlen, deren grosster
Faktor grosser als 127 ist, sind aus ihr fortgelassen. Fur alle
Gewinde, deren Steigungen durch die Wechselrader nicht mathe
matisch genau, sondern nur angenahert bestimmt werden konnten,
wurden die dadurch entstandenen Fehler angegeben. Bei
Millimetergewinden usw. wurden die Fehler fur die
Bezugstemperaturen 0 und 20 gegenubergestellt. Auf Wechselradtafeln
wurde weniger Wert gelegt; denn selbst eine umfang reiche
Tafelsammlung kann nicht alle die Moglichkeiten berucksichtigen,
die sich durch die neuzeitlichen Drehbanke mit eingebautem
Wechselraderkasten ergeben. I. Vom Gewinde. Wird auf einem sich
gleichformig drehenden Zylinder ein Punkt in Achsen richtung
gleichformig fortbewegt, so entsteht eine Schraubenlinie. Dement
sprechend entsteht ein Gewinde, wenn auf einem sich gleichformig
drehenden Zylinder durch ein in Achsenrichtung gleichformig
fortbewegtes Werkzeug eine Nute eingeschnitten wird. Man
unterscheidet rechtes und linkes Gewinde (Abb. 1 und 2). Ferner
unterscheidet man je nach dem Gewindeprofil: Spitzgewinde (Abb. 1),
Flach gewinde (Abb. 2 und 3), Trapez-oder Schneckengewinde (Abb.
4), Sagengewinde (Abb. 5) und Kordelgewinde (Abb. 6)."
