Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science,1982. The November, 1982 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume 38, Number 9. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover or title page since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be four minutes of midnight as of late 1982. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 64 pp. Near Fine; original addressee label on front cover, very modest toning to white covers and pages. No other flaws. Contents otherwise immaculate. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1982 issue: Nuclear Combat; Strategy Games; Pugwash 1982, Warsaw; Soviet Social Problems; Future American Science; Reagan Isolationism; Room in the Ark? Endangered Species; Soviet Succession and Policy; Flexible Response Danger; Sakharov Letter. More. See scan of contents.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the extraordinary story of Felix, a young man who endured a challenging childhood in a rural part of Europe before embarking on a journey to America, lured by the promise of a better life. The author, through Felix's own words, offers a deeply personal account of the hardships and triumphs of a life lived on the margins of society, including his experiences as a child laborer and his eventual migration to a new world. Felix's narrative, told in simple yet poignant language, provides a glimpse into the lives of working-class Europeans in the late 19th century, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty, forced labor, and the desire for a brighter future. Through Felixââ â¢s journey, the book explores the power of resilience, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the enduring hope that guides individuals through adversity. The author ultimately presents a compelling portrait of a man who found his own path to fulfillment amidst the challenges of a changing world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - PLUMBING IN THE MIDDLE EASTHow a desert that should be empty learned to drink the seaThere is not a single permanent river on the entire Arabian Peninsula. By every rule of geography, cities like Dubai and Riyadh should not exist. Yet millions live there, the taps run, and the towers climb - because in the Persian Gulf, plumbing isn't a trade. It's the thin, humming line between civilization and empty sand.This book follows an American plumber across that line. Everything he knows gets turned inside out: at home, you fight to keep water out - off slabs, out of basements, down the storm drain. Here, the whole world is built to bring water in - lifted from the sea by reverse osmosis, pushed across open desert, hoarded in a tank on every rooftop, and re-pressurized building by building.Along the way you'll learn why the world's tallest building once flushed into a fleet of trucks, why a $22-billion sewer tunnel is really a 3,000-year-old idea reborn, why every toilet has a sprayer beside it and faces a particular direction, and why the green plastic in the walls is welded with a hot iron instead of soldered with a torch. You'll meet the Abu Jambo wrench, the squat toilet's hidden trap seal, the booster pump that dies three ways, and the brutal heat that organizes every workday.Built for working professionals but written for anyone curious enough to follow a pipe from the sea to the sink, Plumbing in the Middle East is part field manual, part travelogue, and part argument that the most important systems in any city are the ones we never see. Every concept is taught in four clear moves - the fact, the breakdown, the interpretation, the context - and grounded in real photos, real failures, and real engineering.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever wondered how water reaches your home, how firefighters get water from a hydrant, or how entire cities control the movement of millions of gallons of water every day The answer lies in a hidden world of valves and appurtenances-special devices that start, stop, direct, and protect the flow of water and other liquids through underground pipes and utility systems.In Valves and Appurtenances, readers journey beneath streets, inside buildings, and through vast pipeline networks to discover the mechanical devices that make modern life possible. Through vivid photographs, diagrams, cutaway views, and step-by-step illustrations, students learn how different types of valves work, why they are needed, how they are maintained, and what happens when they fail.The book begins with the major valve families used throughout the world and then follows water through real utility systems, exploring meter valves, curb stops, valve boxes, backflow preventers, underground vaults, and other important components that are often overlooked. Readers also discover how modern technology is transforming infrastructure through sensors, remote monitoring, automation, and smart control systems.Written for curious students, future engineers, skilled trades professionals, and anyone interested in how cities work, Valves and Appurtenances reveals the hidden systems that quietly keep communities safe, healthy, and running every day. Once you understand the world of valves, you will never look at a street, hydrant, or water meter the same way again.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - EVERY DROP is a 148-page, full-color textbook that explains how to capture, store, treat, and use rainwater, taught the way real engineering deserves to be taught. It opens with the science-the water cycle, the math of how much a roof actually yields-then moves systematically through the hardware: roofs and gutters, first-flush diverters, rain barrels, above- and below-ground tanks, sizing for a household, gravity head and pumps, irrigation and indoor/potable use. Later units cover sensors and automation, solar-powered systems, and the U.S. laws, incentives, and backflow standards (including ICC 805) that shape what's legal. A standout Chapter 22 surveys the world's ground-based and traditional methods-sand dams, johads, Brazil's cisterns, Australia's BASIX scheme-each illustrated with original engineering diagrams. Every core concept follows a Fact ? Breakdown ? Interpretation ? Context structure, and each unit ends with worked examples, key terms, and review problems. The book finishes with a complete worked build for a 2,000 sq ft home in the Houston/Southern Plains region, plus a glossary and a real-sourced bibliography. Roughly 43,000 words, aimed at readers 12-17 and the adults who learn and build with them.Key facts at a glance- 148 pages, 8.5 × 11, full color, 43,000 words- 22 chapters in 6 units + Builder's Supplement + appendices- Fact ?

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Here's the book in a nutshell: Trenching and Excavation: The Hidden Infrastructure of the Modern World - Volume IV of the Hidden Infrastructure Series, by Felix Powell (UGK Publications). It's a 258-page, full-color, 8.5×11 college-level guide to the trade of opening the ground safely, putting pipe in it, and putting the ground back.The arc is the book's spine - it follows a real job from start to finish rather than jumping around by topic, marching chronologically through the work across seven units and 20 chapters: - Before you dig (Unit I) - It starts where a job starts: understanding the ground itself, then finding what's already buried in it. Read the soil, call 811, mark the lines. Nothing gets opened yet.- The law and the worker's protection (Unit II) - Before the first cut, the rules and the safety logic: OSHA Subpart P, the competent person's authority, PPE, and the air in the trench.- Holding the ground open (Unit III) - Now the cut is open and the central danger appears: the walls. Sloping, benching, shoring, trench boxes - keeping a trench from becoming a grave.- The machines (Unit IV) - The iron that moves the earth: excavators, backhoes, and the discipline of working safely around them.- Putting pipe in the ground (Unit V) - The point of the whole exercise: line and grade, bedding, the pipe itself, embedment, then backfill and compaction to close the trench.- The hard cases (Unit VI) - When the ground fights back: water (dewatering), rock, and trenchless methods that avoid the open cut entirely.- Finishing and the trade (Unit VII) - Closing it out: work-zone protection, restoring the surface, inspection and pressure testing, the final sign-off - and then the career itself, pay and outlook.So the arc runs locate ? protect ? open ? dig ? lay pipe ? close ? finish ? sign off ? build a career. Each unit hands off to the next the way the phases of an actual excavation do, which is why the book reads as one continuous job rather than a reference grab-bag. That same logic carries into the back matter - the Glossary and Bibliography sit at the end as the reference shelf you reach for after the work is understood.The teaching style is plain, flowing prose aimed at apprentices, competent persons, and instructors alike - with Fact/Breakdown/Interpretation/Context cards, 'Why This Chapter Matters' boxes, per-chapter Key Vocabulary, and chapter reviews. It's heavily illustrated with real field photography matched to each topic plus original engineering diagrams, and the bibliography draws on the actual governing standards (OSHA, AWWA, ASTM, NIOSH, MUTCD).The through-line: every pipe, cable, and conduit beneath a modern city was placed by someone who first had to open the ground - and hold it open - safely. The book is the complete guide to that work, from the first cut to a skilled, essential, debt-free career.…
