It was during a time when his family was financially down that the
author discovered his passion. In a county fair where it was even
hard for him and his mother to experience a single ride, he found
himself fascinated with only one amusement-the old Curtis Robin
airplane. Luckily for him, a family friend gave him the chance to
ride it himself. As soon as the engine roared to life and the
airplane lurched forward across the rough pasture and into the sky
where he could see the beautiful view from above, he knew right
then that he wanted to go flying for the rest of his life. Now in
his late 70's Bangart relives his wonderful journey through the
skies and life to bring inspiration to others. In this
autobiography, he reminisces his adventures as a pilot during the
Great Depression, treating the reader with an inside look at
growing to manhood during the first half of the twentieth century.
His descriptions of the early days of Alaska bush flying, and the
trials and hazards of the early airline flying are given in great
detail. A person does not have to be a pilot or airplane enthusiast
to enjoy this book. It covers such things as driving the Alaska-
Canadian highway both in summer and winter weather, making a home
in Alaska with a new bride, how government has brought many changes
in our lives, and many insights into life itself. If you have been
a passenger on an airliner during these early years, this book will
give you a perception to what went on behind the closed cabin door
where the pilots were secluded.
Aims and Scope Patients are more empowered to shape their own
health care today than ever before. Health information technologies
are creating new opportunities for patients and families to
participate actively in their care, manage their medical problems
and improve communication with their healthcare providers.
Moreover, health information technologies are enabling healthcare
providers to partner with their patients in a bold effort to
optimize quality of care, improve health outcomes and transform the
healthcare system on the macro-level. In this book, leading figures
discuss the existing needs, challenges and opportunities for
improving patient engagement and empowerment through health
information technology, mapping out what has been accomplished and
what work remains to truly transform the care we deliver and engage
patients in their care. Policymakers, healthcare providers and
administrators, consultants and industry managers, researchers and
students and, not least, patients and their family members should
all find value in this book. "In the exciting period that lies just
ahead, more will be needed than simply connecting patients to
clinicians, and clinicians to each other. The health care systems
that will be most effective in meeting patients' needs will be
those that can actually design their 'human wares' around that
purpose. This book provides deep insight into how information
technology can and will support that redesign." Thomas H. Lee, MD,

The spirits of the Shakers are still active in their historic
homes, meeting houses, and on the land where they once toiled,
prayed, and sang. Shaker Spirits, Shaker Ghosts offers ghost hunter
investigations, haunted tales from White Water Shaker village in
Ohio, walkthrough village reports from psychics, and an interview
with a Shaker scholar. Thomas Freese was immersed in their music
for ten years when he performed with the Pleasant Hill Singers. At
Shakertown in Mercer County, Kentucky, he heard, then recorded,
true tales from both visitors and employees of Pleasant Hill.
Ghostly singing is heard in the Meeting House, children are scared
of moving tombstones in the graveyard, spirit figures walk the
village lane, and ghosts enter guest rooms. Are you ready to have
an encounter with a Shaker ghost? We thought so.
This book is the first comprehensive guide to East Asian
collections in American and Canadian libraries. It covers
fifty-five collections and deals primarily with materials in East
Asian vernacular languages, mainly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
The guide also covers materials in both book and nonbook form.
Description given to each collection emphasizes subject strengths,
areas of specialization, special materials and collections, access
services, interlibrary loan service, library automation, network
and consortium participation, contact information, library
catalogs, and other publications. In addition to printed materials,
this guide includes rare items such as old manuscripts and
inscriptions, rubbings, oracle bones, and fine printing. Entries
are arranged alphabetically by name of the parent institution. A
list of geographical collections and a general index aid access to
the material. The work will be useful to scholars, researchers, and
students in East Asian Studies and to East Asian librarians.
This collection explores Kuhn's 1970 perception of a scientific
revolution in the form of a cyclical sequence of anomaly
recognition; insecurity, alternative ideas, schools of thought and
dominating practices. Cash flow reporting has become a dominant
accounting practice which emerged from a developmental process of
Kuhnian form. The text is constructed around the various stages
identified by Kuhn and selected readings are categorised
accordingly.
The emergence of an accountancy profession in Scotland is described
in the context of three leading Chartered Accountants, whose
careers spanned the second half of the nineteenth century and early
part of the twentieth century: George Auldjo Jamieson (21828-1900),
Alexander Sloan (1843-1927) and Richard Brown (1856-1918). Each
biography reveals the man involved in the professionalisation
events, and is described within a broader personal context
associated with Victorian Scotland.

This work reviews and explores various aspects of uchuva growth and
development from seed germination, vegetative growth and
phyllotaxy, floral development, pollination, and pollen morphology
through fruit development, properties and health benefits. Other
sections of the book cover uchuva genetic diversity, hybridization,
chromosome number and morphological diversity. Uchuva is
economically important in most South American counties, has been
growing in popularity in Central America, and is marketed in North
American and Europe as the golden berry. This is the first concise
reference work that delves into the fascinating world of uchuva
reproductive biology. It includes the latest scientific references,
some of which have been contributed by the authors of the current
book. The authors have observed the plant in the field and have
produced a unique photographic record to help the reader see the
actual morphological structures and developmental processes in
action.

"He's the toughest street fighter alive." Freddie Foreman Picture a
man, he's tall, not excessively so, yet as wide as he is high. This
man is a spitting and growling street brawler; a tank full of ready
to blow, muscle-fuelled aggression. Imagine, if you will, the comic
book style Bulldog of Great British stamp. Well, there you have
him! The prototypical face taken from the terraces of an '80s
football fan's rolled-up newspaper cosh; a poster-boy of
malevolence left over from Thatcher's post-punk Britain. Stormin'
Norman's his name and when this storm is erupting, he's like a
force-nine gale fused with a hurricane. In his heyday, Norman saw
off a plethora of gangland minders, and with his own style of
hands-on education, taught Glasgow's prolific hitman, Billy McPhee,
the laws of the Guv'nor's land. He's the Godfather of Aylesbury,
former British Bare-Knuckle Champion, and undefeated European
Boxing Federation 'Guv'nor'. The loveable lunatic with the heart of
a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Yes, this my accidental friends, is the new
Guv'nor. He is the man who rebuked many a heathen, but was also
everyone's friend, and for all the right reasons. So, settle in
with your favourite tipple, and let us regale you with a lifetime
of fronting the doors, serving at Her Majesty's pleasure, righting
wrongs, and brutal bare-knuckle tear-ups.
