The increasing use of composite materials over conventional
materials has been a continual trend for over a decade. While the
fundamental understanding of fiber reinforcement has not changed,
many new material advancements have occurred, especially in
manufacturing methods, and there is an ever-growing number of
composite material applications across various industries.
Polymer-Based Composites: Design, Manufacturing, and Applications
presents the concepts and methods involved in the development of
various fiber-reinforced composite materials. Features: Offers a
comprehensive view of materials, mechanics, processing, design, and
applications Bridges the gap between research, manufacturing
science, and analysis and design Discusses composite materials
composed of continuous synthetic fibers and matrices for use in
engineering structures Presents codes and standards related to
fiber-reinforced polymer composites Includes case studies and
examples based on industrial, automotive, aerospace, and household
applications This book is a valuable resource for advanced
students, researchers, and industry personnel to understand recent
advances in the field and achieve practical results in the
development, manufacture, and application of advanced composite
materials.
Problems of individual moral choice have always been closely bound
up with the larger normative concerns of political theory. There
are several reasons for this continuing connection. First, the
value conflicts involved in private moral choice often find
themselves reproduced on the public stage: for example, states may
find it difficult to do right by both justice and mercy in much the
same way individuals do. Second, we frequently find conflicts among
the values at stake in individual life and public life, such that
the moral choice we must make is between private and public goods.
Loosely speaking, choices which express these conflicts are what
philosophers call moral dilemmas: choices in which no matter what
one does one will be forfeiting some important moral good; in which
wrongdoing is to some degree inescapable; in which one is (perhaps
literally) damned if one does and damned if one doesn't. The eight
essays collected in this volume explore the philosophical problem
of moral dilemmas as that problem finds expression in ancient
drama, classic and contemporary novels, television, film, and
popular fiction. They consider four main types of dilemmas. In the
first section, the authors examine dilemmas associated with
political stability and regime change as expressed in the HBO
television series Deadwood and in Stephen King's novels and short
stories. The second section confronts dilemmas associated with
public leadership, considering the ethical conflicts in Aeschylus's
classical dramas The Suppliants, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and
in the contemporary FOX television series 24. In the volume's third
section, the authors examine dilemmas of institutional evil,
specifically slavery, as they emerge in Harriet Beecher Stowe's
classic novel Uncle Tom's Cabin and in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter
novels. Finally, the collection considers dilemmas of community and
choice in Toni Morrison's novel Paradise and in the contemporary
film A Simple Plan.
The goal of the books in this series (Attacking 101: Volume #nnn)
is to provide detailed analysis of my own attack games played
against lower rated players. The players are all rated in the range
of 1000 to 1800 - the types of players you would frequently
encounter at your local chess club, local tournaments, online, and
at home. They make the same errors you regularly witness in your
games but here you get to see a Chess Master dissect and exploit
the moves, show why they are wrong, and how to punish the
opponent's poor play.

the White pieces. In addition, a couple chapters have games by high
rated players against lower rated opponents with openings they
specialize in. The Fishing Pole chapter has Life Master Brian Wall
games within, while the chapter on the Budapest Gambit primarily
illustrates games by my best student, the 2014-2015 Arizona State
AIA Chess Champion and the 2014-2015 National Grade 12 Co-Champion,
Nick DesMarais.

The third installment of the best-selling series of attack books -
Formation Attacks, Formation Attack Strategies, and now, Positional
Attacks is another 500 page book, full of great attack information
with 532 fabulous attack games from all openings and all eras. The
aim of Positional Attacks is to uncover the artistic side of
attacking, one that is primarily centered on the creation and
exploitation of weaknesses. Oh sure, there will be tactics; after
all they cannot be avoided in chess - nor would we want to exclude
them. But there is nothing quite like witnessing chess masters
dissect their opponents with smooth, elegant, aggressive,
positional attacking maneuvers. And, once again, the games provided
in the book came from an in-depth global search for unique,
inspirational, and original attacks from some of the world's
greatest attackers. Many of them toil in remote areas of the planet
and have only a local following.

attacking players like Guy West of New Zealand, Marc Esserman of
Boston, MA, Liu Wenzhe of China, Kevin Seidler of Denver, CO,
Manuel Bosboom of The Netherlands, Dharshan Kumaran of India, Padre
Murphy of Ireland, to name a few. The book also contains
discussions about many attack philosophies, attack strategy and
planning, identification and exploitation of weaknesses, and so
much more. If you are one of the many people who love my last book,
you will be ecstatic about "Formation Attack Strategies."
Under the veil of one of the oldest and most tragic myths known
to humankind, a king is born. Magnus King, the son of a well-born
English woman, continues his family's aristocratic legacy on the
frontier of the American West until the night a deadly shooting
changes everything.
Young Earl Ransom, a man found long ago on the Cheyenne prairie
with no memory of his past or of how his destiny is linked to that
of Magnus King, finds his way through a tale as old and tragic as
the Greek myth of Oedipus.
