There are plenty of misleading books and TV shows available that make people think plumbing is simple and easy, as most consumers want to see quick solutions to complicated problems. Unfortunately, this approach often creates more problems than it solves; those who rely on oversimplified, misleading advice often end up making a bad situation worse. Sooner or later, (usually much later) people realize that good long-term results require proper research and attention to detail. With OnlinePlumbingAdvice.Com, Mike Quick provides honest, truly expert advice that focuses on issues like who you trust to work in your home, the quality of plumbing products installed, and the qualifications of the person you trust for plumbing advice. When Mike started his plumbing apprenticeship in 1969, he realized that working alongside a licensed plumber with over twenty- four years experience would provide an opportunity to learn details that often make the difference between good and bad long- term results. Attending plumbing classes at night and working with an experienced plumber during the day taught Mike to focus on details. As he continued his career, he always focused on details. Mike researched and monitored available plumbing advice for over two decades and took hand-written notes on what works and what doesn't, making OnlinePlumbingAdvice.Com a rare opportunity to learn important details about plumbing.

Schatzungsweise 80% aller verfugbaren Daten haben geographischen Bezug. Dank der rasanten Entwicklung von Hard- und Software ist es heute leichter denn je, diese raumbezogenen Daten als Karte abzubilden. Zunehmend bedienen sich daher heute auch Praktiker und Wissenschaftler ohne spezielle Kartographiekenntnisse dieser Form der Darstellung. Dem Leser wird zunachst unverzichtbares Basiswissen aus dem Bereich der thematischen Kartographie vermittelt und darauf aufbauend die Methodik der angewandten digitalen Kartographie erlautert. Wie sieht ein kartographischer PC-Arbeitsplatz aus? Wie kommen die Daten in den PC? Wie wird eine Karte daraus und wie kommt diese anschliessend auf den Drucker oder ins Internet? Diese Fragen werden in einem separaten Kapitel zur angewandten digitalen Kartographie beantwortet. Ein ausfuhrlicher Uberblick uber gangige Software rundet das Buch ab. Die beiliegende CD-ROM enthalt Demoversionen zu diesen Programmen."
