The Complete Book addresses anchoring systems, techniques, and permanent moorings for boats from twelve feet to eighty feet in length. It covers monohulls, multihulls, light displacement sail-boats, cruisers, sportfishers, passagemakers, and workboats. In short, it is for all recreational and working boats in this size range.

The book deals not only with anchor behavior, but also with the rode assembly, riding stoppers, and the human factors. What formerly was thought of as strength through size (heavy anchors and large rodes) has been refined to decrease weight, lighten loads on the boat, and reduce difficulty in handling.

The revised second edition introduces some new ground tackle components that will assure the ground tackle system retains compatible strength and performance. Two interesting rode design changes have been added: the use of galvanized High Test chain, which can relieve the weight in the bow of the boat and improve performance, and the use of direct rope-to-chain splices in a combination rode to replace the bulky and heavy anchor shackle joint of old. Also added are three new anchor designs: Barnacle, Bulwagga, and Spade.

Structural transformations in the international economy and the restructuring of work have made the transition from education to employment increasingly problematic. School-to-work pathways have become more socially segmented and the risk of under-employment and joblessness has increased for both vocationally and academically educated youth. Continuous passages have become less common and have given way to multiple entries and exits between schooling and working, under-employment, unemployment and domestic work. This edited volume of empirical studies is based on a series of comparable longitudinal research projects which draw on survey and biographical data from important players in the international economy, the USA, Great Britain, Canada and Germany. The studies document that social and gender inequality is a persistent structural feature that restricts the possibilities to take advantage of educational opportunities and career options. Furthermore, different institutional arrangements are shown to play a crucial role in distributing transition opportunities in a more equal way.

Das "Jahrbuch Bildung und Arbeit" dient der kritischen Analyse von Theorien und Praxisformen im Schnittpunkt von Bildung und Arbeit sowie der Diskussion von Entwurfen, Umsetzungsansatzen und Projekten ihrer partizipativen Gestaltung. In den einzelnen Beitragen der themenbezogenen Jahrbucher soll uber den Stand der Forschung berichtet, sollen Kontroversen uber den eigenen Fachhorizont hinaus ausgetragen und der Dialog auch ausserhalb der Fachoffentlichkeiten vorbereitet werden. Grundlegend ist also die Idee, der durch Spezialisierung hervorgerufenen Isolation einzelner Ansatze entgegenzuwirken. Dies soll nicht nur fur die verschiedenen fachwissenschaftlichen Bereiche in diesen Feldern gelten. Angestrebt wird vielmehr ebenso, zur Uberwindung nationaler wissenschaftlicher Begrenzungen beizutragen - nicht zuletzt zur Uberwindung der Graben, die zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland bestehen und neu aufgerissen worden sind

Der vorliegende Band ist ein Ergebnis der Arbeit der Berichtsgruppe "Individuelle Entwicklung, Sozialisation und Ausbildung" der Kommission fur die Erforschung des sozialen und politischen Wandels in den neuen Bun deslandern (KSPW). Diese Berichtsgruppe ging aus zwei Arbeitsgruppen hervor, die sich mit dem Einfluss des Transformationsprozesses auf die Kin der, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen einerseits und auf das Bildungswesen andererseits befassten. Der Bericht strebt an, durch eine Verbindung von Ent wicklungs- und Sozialpsychologie, Sozialisations-und Lebenslaufforschung sowie aus sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive das komplexe Feld der indi viduellen Wahrnehmung und Bewaltigung des strukturellen Wandels in den neuen Bundeslandern zu erhellen. Wahrend die anfangliehe Arbeit sich dar auf konzentrierte, durch die Vergabe von Forschungsauftragen in den neuen Bundeslandern schon fruh nach der Wende sowohl die Auswirkungen des Transformationsprozesses zu erfassen und damit zugleich die ostdeutsche sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung zu stabilisieren, war die Aufgabe der letz ten Jahre die Erstellung eines Berichtes uber vorliegende Ergebnisse und be gleitender Materialien. In verschiedenen kleinen Tagungen der Berichtsgruppe zu den Themen dieses Berichtes - Kindheit, Jugendalter, Erwachsene, Bildung und Berufs verlaufe - kamen geladene Experten zusammen, die aus ihrer Forschung be richteten und durch vielfaltige Argumente zum Wissensstand der Berichts gruppe beitrugen. Durch die Vergabe von Expertisen, die teilweise in den begleitenden Materialbanden veroeffentlicht werden, wurden Schwerpunkte der Arbeit gesetzt. Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter recherchierten die Literatur zu den Themengebieten, die weit uber die von der KSPW gefoerderte For schung hinausging, und werteten sie fur die gemeinsame Arbeit aus. Dennoch konnten nicht alle anfangs gesetzte Ziele erreicht werden.

"Angewandte Onkologie" will als Fachbuchreihe eine Einfuhrung in aktuelle therapeutische Konzepte geben. Ihre Intention ist die Information von nieder- gelassenen AErzten, Spitalsarzten und Facharzten, insbesondere aber von Kolle- ginnen und Kollegen, die auf dem Gebiet der Onkologie nicht spezialisiert sind. Wahrend es eine Fulle von einschlagigen Werken auf dem einem ausserst raschen Wandel unterworfenen Gebiet der jungen Disziplin Onkologie gibt, wird die aktualisierte praktische Information haufig vernachlassigt. Ziel der neuen Buchreihe, deren erster Band hiermit vorliegt, soll es nun sein, diesem standigen Wandel des aktuellen theoretischen Wissens und des davon abgelei- teten praktischen klinischen Handeins zu entsprechen und in zyklischer Ab- folge bestimmte onkologische Themel') zu behandeln. Die fur die einzelnen Bande gewahlten Beitrage setzen sich primar aus den anlasslich der jahrlichen Fortbildungsseminare fur Klinische Onkologie vorgestellten Themen zusam- men. Einzelne Tumorentitaten werden in diesem Rahmen uberblicksartig be- handelt, wobei der Bogen von der Epidemiologie und Pathologie uber Diagno- stik und Therapie bis zur Verlaufsuntersuchung und Prognoseerstellung reichen soll. Daruber hinaus sollen jedoch auch interdisziplinare onkologische Themen aufgegriffen sowie Neuerungen mit unmittelbarem Einfluss auf das praktisch kli- nische Handeln prasentiert werden. Den Autoren der einzelnen Beitrage des ersten Bandes moechte ich an die- ser Stelle fur ihre Muhe und fur die fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit sehr danken. Mein Dank richtet sich auch an meinen Freund Dipl. -Ing. G. Welley, der sich mit der Kreation des Logo dieser Buchreihe sehr verdient gemacht hat. Beson- deren Dank moechte ich dem Springer-Verlag, insbesondere Herrn Dir. R.

The United States Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) was established in 1983 and comprises all marine areas within 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) of the nearest U.S. land. This vast area of 3.38 million square nautical miles (11.6 million square kilometers) is about 20 percent greater than the entire land area of the United States. The resource potential of the vast mineral deposits that occur within the U.S. EEZ is unknown, despite field studies that have taken place during the past 25 years. Since about 1975, information on marine mineral deposits has been obtained by numerous research cruises to the Pacific Ocean by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), equivalent government agencies in Germany, Canada, France, Russia, Japan, China, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, and by academic researchers from all of these nations. Although most of the cruises by other nations explored areas outside the U.S. EEZ, information gained from those studies can aid in the evaluation of the mineral potential in the U.S. EEZ. However, the global effort remains inadequate to allow for the quantitative evaluation of mineral resources contained within the EEZ of nations or within international regions of the oceans.

This report contains X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of mineralogy for 81 sediment samples from cores taken from three drill holes in the Los Angeles Basin in 2000-2001. We analyzed 26 samples from Pier F core, 29 from Pier C core, and 26 from the Webster core. These three sites provide an offshore-onshore record across the Southern California coastal zone. This report is designed to be a data repository; these data will be used in further studies, including geochemical modeling as part of the CABRILLO project. Summary tables quantify the major mineral groups, whereas detailed mineralogy is presented in three appendices. The rationale, methodology, and techniques are described in the following paper.

"As an author, editor, and publisher, I never paid much attention to the competition-except in a few cases. This is one of those cases. The UNIX System Administration Handbook is one of the few books we ever measured ourselves against." -From the Foreword by Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media "This book is fun and functional as a desktop reference. If you use UNIX and Linux systems, you need this book in your short-reach library. It covers a bit of the systems' history but doesn't bloviate. It's just straightfoward information delivered in colorful and memorable fashion." -Jason A. Nunnelley"This is a comprehensive guide to the care and feeding of UNIX and Linux systems. The authors present the facts along with seasoned advice and real-world examples. Their perspective on the variations among systems is valuable for anyone who runs a heterogeneous computing facility." -Pat ParseghianThe twentieth anniversary edition of the world's best-selling UNIX system administration book has been made even better by adding coverage of the leading Linux distributions: Ubuntu, openSUSE, and RHEL. This book approaches system administration in a practical way and is an invaluable reference for both new administrators and experienced professionals. It details best practices for every facet of system administration, including storage management, network design and administration, email, web hosting, scripting, software configuration management, performance analysis, Windows interoperability, virtualization, DNS, security, management of IT service organizations, and much more. UNIX (R) and Linux (R) System Administration Handbook, Fourth Edition, reflects the current versions of these operating systems:Ubuntu (R) LinuxopenSUSE (R) LinuxRed Hat (R) Enterprise Linux (R)Oracle America (R) Solaris (TM) (formerly Sun Solaris)HP HP-UX (R)IBM AIX (R)

Clash of Fleets is an operational history that records every naval engagement fought between major surface warships during World War I. Much more than a catalog of combat facts, Clash of Fleets explores why battles occurred; how the different navies fought; and how combat advanced doctrine and affected the development and application of technology. The result is a holistic overview of the war at sea as it affected all nations and all theaters of war. A work of this scope is unprecedented. Organized into seven chapters, the authors first introduce the technology, weapons, ships, and the doctrine that governed naval warfare in 1914. The next five chapters explore each year of the war and are subdivided into sections corresponding to major geographic areas. This arrangement allows the massive sweep of action to be presented in a structured and easy to follow format that includes engagements fought by the Austro-Hungarian, British, French, German, Ottoman, and Russian Navies in the Adriatic, Aegean, Baltic, Black, Mediterranean, and North Seas as well as the Atlantic, India, and Pacific Oceans. The role of surface combat in the Great War is analyzed and these actions are compared to major naval wars before and after. In addition to providing detailed descriptions of actions in their historical perspectives, O'Hara and Heinz advance several themes, including the notion that World War I was a war of navies as much as a war of armies. They explain that surface combat had a major impact on all aspects of the naval war and on the course of the war in general. Finally, Clash of Fleets illustrates that systems developed in peace do not always work as expected in war, that some are not used as anticipated, and that others became unexpectedly important. There is much for today's naval professional to consider in the naval conflict that occurred a century ago.
