How Humans Evolved has long been the #1 text for helping students
understand the most exciting research in biological anthropology.
In the Ninth Edition, new contributing author Kevin Langergraber
makes the discipline's newest frontier-ancient and contemporary DNA
research-accessible and relevant to students. Further new coverage
of important recent fossil discoveries, modern human behaviour and
race ensure the text continues inspiring students to think
critically about the key developments driving the field today.
Written for the practicing electronics professional, Tolerance
Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using MATLAB offers a
comprehensive, step-by-step treatment of methods used to perform
analyses essential to the design process of circuit cards and
systems of cards, including: worst-case analysis, limits for
production testing, component stress analysis, determining if a
design meets specification limits, and manufacturing yield analysis
Using a practical approach that allows engineers and technicians to
put the techniques directly into practice, the author presents the
mathematical procedures used to determine performance limits. The
topics and techniques discussed include extreme value and
root-sum-square analysis using symmetric and asymmetric tolerance,
Monte Carlo analysis using normal and uniform distributions,
sensitivity formulas, tolerance analyses of opamp offsets, and
anomalies of high-Q ac circuits.

Tax planning can lead to considerable efficiencies, but few GPs
have been trained as businessmen. This book in "The Business Side
of General Practice" series, provides a guide to the regulations,
identifies the pitfalls and opportunities and shows how to maximize
the income retained by the practice. John Dean is known for his
writing on financial management in general practice and has also
written "Making Sense of Practice Finance" (Radcliff).
More than ten million readers have enjoyed Robert Boyd Munger's
spiritually challenging meditation on Christian discipleship.
Imagining what it would be like to have Jesus come to the home of
our hearts, Munger moves room by room considering what Christ
desires for us. In the living room we prepare to meet Christ daily.
In the dining room we examine together what appetites should and
should not control us. We even explore the closets in our lives
that Christ can help us clean out.Munger's practical and profound
booklet (now revised and expanded) helps you give Christ control
over all of your life.

Sixteen-year-old Randy Watson isn't sure if the classmate he beat
to a pulp will survive. Afraid of the consequences, he runs away
from a town in northern British Columbia. Hitchhiking, he criss
crosses the prairies from Alberta to Manitoba, working at
back-breaking, menial jobs -- at a feed mill, a meat packing plant,
on constructions sites and on an oil rig. After years on the road,
he settles down in Vancouver and ends up in Oakalla Prison. After
serving his time, will schooling and a girlfriend help him break
out of this cycle? Or will drugs on the Downtown East Side, another
horrific crime and the courts, decide his fate?
How our ability to learn from each other has been the essential
ingredient to our remarkable success as a species Human beings are
a very different kind of animal. We have evolved to become the most
dominant species on Earth. We have a larger geographical range and
process more energy than any other creature alive. This astonishing
transformation is usually explained in terms of cognitive
ability--people are just smarter than all the rest. But in this
compelling book, Robert Boyd argues that culture--our ability to
learn from each other--has been the essential ingredient of our
remarkable success. A Different Kind of Animal demonstrates that
while people are smart, we are not nearly smart enough to have
solved the vast array of problems that confronted our species as it
spread across the globe. Over the past two million years, culture
has evolved to enable human populations to accumulate superb local
adaptations that no individual could ever have invented on their
own. It has also made possible the evolution of social norms that
allow humans to make common cause with large groups of unrelated
individuals, a kind of society not seen anywhere else in nature.
This unique combination of cultural adaptation and large-scale
cooperation has transformed our species and assured our
survival--making us the different kind of animal we are today.
Based on the Tanner Lectures delivered at Princeton University, A
Different Kind of Animal features challenging responses by
biologist Allen Orr, philosopher Kim Sterelny, economist Paul
Seabright, and evolutionary anthropologist Ruth Mace, as well as an
introduction by Stephen Macedo.

What would it be like to have Christ come into the home of our
heart? Moving from room to room with him, we discover what he
desires for us. Are we prepared to meet with him daily in our
living room? in our recreation room? in the study? What about that
dark closet that needs cleaning out? These studies will take you
through six of the rooms of your heart, helping you to see aspects
of your Christian life as Jesus sees them. You will be stretched
and enriched by your personal meetings with Christ in each study.
"People of The Dalles" is the story of the Chinookan
(Wasco-Wishram) and Sahaptin peoples of The Dalles area of the
Columbia River, who encountered the Lewis & Clark expedition in
1805-6. The early history and culture of these communities is
reconstructed from the accounts of explorers, travelers, and the
early writings of the Methodist missionaries at Wascopam, in
particular the papers of Reverend Henry Perkins. Boyd covers early
nineteenth century cultural geography, subsistence, economy, social
structure, life-cycle rituals, and religion. "People of The Dalles"
also details the changes that occurred to these people's
traditional life-ways, including their relationship with Methodism
following the devastating epidemics of the early 1830s. Today,
descendants of the Chinookan and Sahaptin peoples are enrolled in
the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and the Yakama Nation.
