Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book presents a comprehensive, ordered relationship between
malfunctions and symptoms occurring in large turbogenerators. With
this book, the operator and/or engineer in a generating station
could identify underlying causes of a developing component
degradation or a failure quicker, which could potentially save both
time and money and reduce the trial-and-error troubleshooting
process. Large turbogenerators are the most important source of
electricity. They can be found in thousands of power stations in
every country. Forced outages, failures and degradation of these
very expensive machines have an enormous aggregate cost to society.
As such, any tool that can ameliorate loss of production by shaving
time from troubleshooting activities, and avoiding unnecessary
costs by detecting and promptly responding to component
degradation, represents a step forward.
Adopting the notion of 'third world' as a political as well as a
geographical category, this volume analyzes marginalized women's
experiences of globalization. It unravels the intersections of
race, culture, ethnicity, nationality and class which have shaped
the position of these women in the global political economy, their
cultural and their national history. In addition to a thematically
structured and highly informative investigation, the authors offer
an exploration of the policy implications which are commonly
neglected in mainstream literature. The result is a must have
volume for sociological academics, social policy experts and
professionals working within non-governmental organizations.

This book argues that social and environmental policy should be
synthetically treated as one and the same field, that both are but
two aspects of the same coin - if sustainability is the goal. Such
a paradigm shift is indicated, important, and timely to effectively
move towards sustainability. This book is the first to take this
approach and to give examples for it. Not to synthetically merge
the two fields has been and will continue to be highly
insufficient, inefficient and contradictory for policy and public
administration aiming for a transformation towards a sustainable
world. In general, social problems are dealt with in one "policy
corner" and environmental problems in another. Rarely is social
policy (at large) concerned with its impact on the environment or
its connection with and relevance to environmental policy. Equally,
environmental problems are generally not seen in conjunction with
social policy, even though much environmental policy directly
relates to health, nutrition, migration and other issues addressed
by social policy. This book intends to correct the pattern to
separate these very significant and large policy fields. Using
examples from diverse academic and applied fields, it is shown how
environmental policy can (and should) be thought of as social
policy - and how social policy can (and should) simultaneously be
seen as environmental policy. Tremendous benefits are to be
expected.

This is the 20th volume in a series of research articles in social
movements, conflicts and change. The papers are broad in scope and
methodologically diverse.

Digestive Diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa: Changes and Challenges
provides an in-depth examination into the rise of western digestive
diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). For those interested in the
causes of the major diseases of the 'West', the patterns in Africa
have always reflected on the emergence of western diseases and
elucidated the pattern of these conditions and their clinical
course. Coverage includes the present epidemiology of GI diseases
in SSA, the trends that are occurring, and the context of other
emerging diseases. Appropriate for researchers, gastroenterologists
and internists, this book brings together the latest research in a
single, complete volume.
This work is part of a series of original articles on research in
social movements, conflicts and change. It carries papers that are
broad in scope and methodologically diverse.
This book is considered to be the oldest known Jewish mystical text
and is now an important part of Cabalistic studies. It first
appeared in historical records during the first century C.E., but
its principles had been passed down for centuries before this, with
Jewish scholars believing that the patriarch Abraham had received
the teachings directly. It is written from the perspective of an
observer who is relating the work of God's creation step by step,
as it unfolds. It covers not only the creation of the universe, but
the formation of the earth and humanity as well. It reveals how the
22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet work symbolically and interact
with one another, through God, to bring about our physical world.
Most cultures agree that God created the universe, our world and
our bodies but many creation stories beyond this one are less
complete. By looking deeply at this story and studying its message,
one can come away with meaningful insights that will not be
available elsewhere. This book is often considered to be a
meditative text, focused upon more in the first translation by
Kalisch, and also as a magical text, covered more clearly in the
second version by Stenring. If something is not made clear in one
version it can be likely be found in the other, which is what makes
this book so interesting. It is a very powerful mystical work and
having access to two separate translations in one volume is of
immense importance.
