Praised for its clear writing style and logical organization, Basic
Biomechanics provides a sound introduction to human biomechanics
for students in kinesiology and allied health fields. The
mechanical aspects of human movement and applied anatomy are
explained with examples of relevant sport, clinical, and daily
living applications. In each successive edition, many of these
examples are taken from hot topics in the current biomechanics
research literature. The quantitative aspects of biomechanics are
presented in a manageable, progressive fashion. In the first
chapter, students are given a structured template along with
practical advice for approaching and solving both qualitative and
quantitative problems. The quantitative and qualitative concepts
are reinforced with sets of introductory problems and more advanced
problems, along with laboratory exercises. The 9th edition features
updated illustrations and coverage of numerous new topics.
As open access initiatives, electronic theses and dissertations
(ETDs) provide Internet access to graduate student research
documents from hundreds of academic institutions, thus furthering
international scholarly communication. The last decade has seen
change and collaboration among colleagues of varied disciplines and
across institutional boundaries. There is a need for practical
information for academics, database managers and library catalogers
in dealing with the complexities of developing ETD programs and
workflow. The authors present a comprehensive treatise on ETDs,
drawing on many years of collective experience within this
specialization. This book was published as a special issue of
Technical Services Quarterly.

style and matching statistical tools with research protocols,
readers will find this book written in a conversational tone
intended to make the topic more readily understood by today's
student. Problem-based learning activities help students apply the
skills they've learned and prepare for actual research. An online
suite of ancillaries rounds out this book and provides instructors

This talk was presented by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) geologist
Susan Hall on May 11, 2009, at the Uranium 2009 conference in
Keystone, Colorado, and on May 12, 2009, as part of an underground
injection control track presentation at the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Environmental Trade Fair and
Conference in Austin, Texas. Texas has been the location of the
greatest number of uranium in-situ recovery (ISR) mines in the
United States and was the incubator for the development of alkaline
leach technology in this country. For that reason, the author chose
to focus on the effectiveness of restoration at ISR mines by
examining legacy mines developed in Texas. The best source for
accurate information about restoration at Texas ISR mines is housed
at the TCEQ offices in Austin. The bulk of this research is an
analysis of those records.

The first completely comprehensive, practical guide for recognizing, diagnosing, and overcoming any childhood reading difficulty. According to the National Institute of Health, ten million of our nation’s children (approximately 17 percent) have trouble learning to read. While headlines warn about the nation’s reading crisis, Susan Hall (whose son was diagnosed with dyslexia) and Louisa Moats have become crusaders for action. The result of their years of research and personal experience, Parenting a Struggling Reader provides a revolutionary road map for any parent facing this challenging problem. Acknowledging that parents often lose valuable years by waiting for their school systems to test for a child’s reading disability, Hall and Moats offer a detailed, realistic program for getting parents actively involved in their children’s reading lives. With a four-step plan for identifying and resolving deficiencies, as well as advice for those whose kids received weak instruction during the crucial early years, this is a landmark publication that promises unprecedented hope for the next generation of Information Age citizens.
