Assessment, and Codes and Standards presents different aspects of

connected with hydrogen systems. Sections cover the main hydrogen
technologies and explore the scientific aspects of possible sources
and consequences of accidental events that can occur when hydrogen

This book discusses the quality of life of early modern Britons
emigrating to the New World, which became possible with advances in
shipbuilding and long-distance sailing. It examines the status and
quality of life of those crossing the Atlantic Ocean under legal
contract, the indenture - largely to the Carolinas and the
communities adjoining Chesapeake Bay in the USA in the 17th
century, and also describes and numerically estimates the quality
of life among Britons sentenced to "transportation beyond the
seas," who were transported to Australia in the mid-19th century.
The author examines the experience of migrants, both adults and
children, traveling to the New World and their fate, drawing on
documentary sources like state historical records as well as
self-documentation from the few surviving diaries. The book also
creates profiles of the quality of life of emigrants by gender and
age and places the processes of emigration in the social-political
contexts of the 17th and 19th centuries. By considering ways in
which aspects of social life were organized in eras before
structural inquiry into the quality of life, the book provides
interesting historical perspectives as well as methodological
insights. It appeals to researchers and students interested in the
quality of life and wellbeing, and in the history of modern Europe,
particularly of the British Empire.

Low Rent is a semi-autobiographical novel wherein TommyJ reveals
his nefarious past in numerous short stories he has written in a
series of letters to his new friend, a Las Vegas hooker he
nicknames Caribou. From shining new light upon the tumultuous times
most youth face while growing up in the modern urban-American
setting, to reshaping the notion of the classic rags-to-riches
story, Low Rent is a stumble through the life story of a man who,
despite a very extensive, very lucrative criminal career, manages
to avoid ever severing time in prison. From stabbings and drug
overdoses, to finding himself camping on an island with a homeless
man that he has taken LSD with, Thomas Jordan takes us on a vivid
stroll through his Low Rent world.
