Originally published in 1972, Minority Perspectives is the second
in a series exploring metropolitan problems within the government
structure. The 1960's were a period of civils rights movements as
well as poverty in the United States and in the 70's, it became
clear that poverty was closely linked to race. This report sets out
to explore issues contributing to the metropolitan-minority poverty
problem such as racial exclusion and public policy. The papers
included in this report discuss issues such as political power in
metropolitan areas, the impact an address can have on economic
opportunity for minority groups and the effects that laws and
litigation can have on poverty. This title will be of interest to
students of environmental and urban studies.

Tiny homes are all the rage these days, especially among young
people new to the housing market, for people wanting a small
dwelling as a second home or as a studio, and among singles and
empty nesters. As millions are experiencing the "magic" of tidying
up and reducing the number of their possessions, many are also
seeing the value of living with less space, while environmentalists
are also valuing a smaller carbon footprint. How to Build Your Own
Tiny House is a comprehensive guide to the actual construction
process, building codes, and regulations, not another pretty
picture book about tiny houses. Offers anyone with basic carpentry
skills step-by-step instructions to successfully build a tiny house
(250 to 1,000 square feet.) The book covers everything from forming
a bill of materials to the basics of frame construction; it details
wiring and plumbing a tiny home, outlines construction codes for
small buildings and gives pointers as to where local regulations
may apply, and also includes a section on building appropriately
sized furniture for a tiny home. Includes a selection of tiny home
designs, each of which can be expanded as needs change.
This accessible field guide covers practical steps and contributes
to behavioral theory by reporting intricate details on the
strategies implemented by business-to-business firms within an
inter-firm context. The coverage is deep, broad, and unique - the
authors of the 14 papers all adopt the understanding that
researchers need direct viewing - 'eyes-on-the-context' - that goes
beyond the use of paper-and-pencil 5-pont and 7-point survey items
to achieve accurate descriptions of how decisions are made and
progress achieved. Following the customary introductory chapter,
the titles of the 13 remaining chapters promise the reader new
insights and tools to apply when studying B2B contexts. This new
volume in the Advances in Business Marketing and Purchasing series
is a must for B2B scholars and executives.
This book covers theory and practice of competency and incompetency
training. 'Incompetency training' includes formal and informal
instruction that consciously (purposively) or unconsciously imparts
knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behavior (including procedures)
that are useless, inaccurate, misleading, and/or will lower
performance outcomes of the trainee versus no training or training
using alternative training methods. This book offers an early
workbench model of incompetency training theory which proposes that
executives and associates in firms, academia, and government
organizations consciously as well as unknowingly offer incompetency
training in many contexts. The evidence so far has shown that
increasing trainees' vigilance and ability to recognize exposure to
incompetency-training may help trainees to decrease the
effectiveness (impact) of exposures to incompetency
training-advancing incompetency training theory and knowledge of
incompetency training practice may be necessary conditions for
remedying negative outcomes that follow from trainees receiving
such training. The book uses a series of laboratory experiments to
elicit on tools advocated in the literature as aids in increasing
incompetency and/or competency, and provides a comprehensive review
of the literature on (in)competency training.

Imagine biting into a fresh, juicy tomato straight from the vine
in the middle of winter. Or growing a huge collection of succulents
and cacti in even the coldest parts of the world. Or relaxing,
mid-snowstorm, in a warm room packed with colorful and fragrant
flowers, like orchids, fuchsias, and paperwhites. These are just a
few of the benefits a home greenhouse can offer. In The Greenhouse
Gardener s Manual, Roger Marshall provides you with every tool and
technique you need to successfully grow edibles and ornamentals in
a well-maintained greenhouse. You will learn how to choose the
right greenhouse, how to create a healthy greenhouse environment,
how to start seeds and propagate, and how to maintain your
greenhouse. Marshall also offers plant profiles with complete
growing information for hundreds of edible and ornamental plants.
Greenhouses offer gardeners a way to extend their growing season, a
chance to increase their plant palette beyond the limits of their
region, and a place of refuge. And with The Greenhouse Gardener s
Manual in hand, you can finally do it all with confidence "
For avid gardeners, the biggest down-side of the hobby is the
limited growing season in much of the country. Gardening during the
winter is often reduced to tending house-plants and browsing seed
catalogues for next summer's tomato choices. Master Gardener and
builder Roger Marshall enthusiastically presents his case for home
greenhouses with a thorough examination of everything the potential
builder needs to know. Marshall's coverage of the subject begins
with a careful consideration of the various purposes served by
greenhouses. Will the structure be used as a damp, warm hothouse
for rare orchids? A tropical paradise for banana and citrus trees?
A friendlier environment in which to get a jump on a summer
vegetable garden is the goal for many gardeners, while an inviting
setting for a year-round hot tub surrounded by lush greenery has an
undeniable appeal. What ever its eventual use will be, Marshall
helps the reader examine every option and make an informed choice.
After determining the type and style of the structure, Marshall
progresses, chapter by chapter, through the construction elements
of the greenhouse - from choosing a site, to laying the foundation
and determining which glazing material will work best. Plumbing,
heating, supplemental lighting, misting, and automatic venting
systems are also covered for the truly committed reader/gardener.
The final section-of the book includes detailed plans for nine
actual greenhouses, from a simple cold frame to an elaborately
detailed framed, detached structure. Whatever the greenhouse goal,
Marshall opens the way to longer growing seasons, abundant
organically grown fruits and vegetables, and many more happy months
playing in the dirt!
Two classic Isle of Man TT films. 'You're On Your Own' features

Grant with a high-quality 16mm camera aboard his bike.
Garden Projects suit your needs and abilities, from practical and
simple raised garden beds to more ambitious things, like a tool
shed. There are more whimsical structures too-a flagpole, a garden
swing, and an ornamental wheelbarrow for flower arrangements among
them. Author Roger Marshall has carefully designed projects that
don't require a vast array of tools or advanced woodworking skills.
Every gardener will find ideas and plans to enhance his or her
garden in this helpful book. Marshall applies his know-how and
skillful delivery to a wide range of building projects that might
take a weekend afternoon or provide a way to pass the time
constructively on those dark winter days when you can't wait to get
back out into the garden.

As technology to revitalize dormant human DNA is released to the
world, millions voluntarily take pills touted to improve eyesight,
strength, balance, and lung capacity. But no one has any idea of
the power these tiny pills hold until the world begins rapidly
spiraling into unadulterated chaos. As soon as Rita Perez and her
team of scientists realize that the nutritional supplements are
causing people to transform into devolved mutants, they spring into
action and attempt to genetically reverse the effects of the pills.
But the creatures-part human and part pre-human-are quickly gaining
control over the planet, and mankind is not prepared to handle the
anarchy that follows. As a global struggle ensues and human is
pitted against mutant, Perez knows if she is not able to undo the
course of devolution, it is only a matter of time before the human
race will disappear forever. Sometimes even the best of intentions
can have disastrous impacts. The future of the world is at stake as
a brilliant scientist frantically researches a cure for the
disaster she naively released to the world. But little does she
know that the terror within is about to become terror unleashed.
