Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hazardous adventure forces a young boy to adapt in order to survive. Charles is an intelligent nine-year-old living in 1946 New England. Despite his intellect, Charles tends to be absentminded and preoccupied with daydreaming. He enjoys spending time with the group of boys that live on his street, but the most genuine connection he forms is with his best friend Mary Anne. Charles is presented with an opportunity to accompany his father on a trip to his hometown in rural Canada. While staying at the farm his father grew up on, Charles is able to learn of his father's past and his hidden personality. He gains a deeper understanding of his father through stories of his youth and learns of how the Great Depression led him to emigrate to the United States. Charles realizes the role hardship and suffering has played in his father's life and begins to form a solid connection with his once distant father. Charles appreciates the chance to meet and interact with members of his father's family. His older cousin takes an interest in him, and he decides to bring Charles on a hunting trip. The two young boys encounter a dangerous situation that forces Charles into a role that requires great strength and maturity. Will he find the resolve within himself to survive? Will he emerge unchanged, or will this unfortunate excursion leave him altered forever?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title is the sister book to the global best-seller Metrics for IT Service Management. Taking the basics steps described there, this new title describes the context within the ITIL 2011 Lifecycle approach. More than that it looks at the overall goal of metrics which is to achieve Value. The overall delivery of Business Value is driven by Corporate Strategy and Governance, from which Requirements are developed and Risks identified. These Requirements drive the design of Services, Processes and Metrics. Metrics are designed and metrics enable design as well as governing the delivery of value through the whole lifecycle. The book shows the reader how do achieve this Value objective by extending the ITIL Service Lifecycle approach to meet business requirements.

This book was released on 2007-09-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the book is to train verification engineers on the breadth of technologies available and to give them a utilitarian methodology for making effective use of those technologies. The book is easy to understand and a joy to read. Its organization follows a ‘typical’ verification project from inception to completion, (planning to closure). The book elucidates concepts using non-technical terms and clear entertaining explanations. Analogies to other fields are employed to keep the book light-hearted and interesting.
Download or read book Of Clocks and Time written by Lutz Hüwel and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Clocks and Time takes readers on a five-stop journey through the physics and technology (and occasional bits of applications and history) of timekeeping. On the way, conceptual vistas and qualitative images abound, but since mathematics is spoken everywhere the book visits equations, quantitative relations, and rigorous definitions are offered as well. The expedition begins with a discussion of the rhythms produced by the daily and annual motion of sun, moon, planets, and stars. Centuries worth of observation and thinking culminate in Newton's penetrating theoretical insights since his notion of space and time are still influential today. During the following two legs of the trip, tools are being examined that allow us to measure hours and minutes and then, with ever growing precision, the tiniest fractions of a second. When the pace of travel approaches the ultimate speed limit, the speed of light, time and space exhibit strange and counter-intuitive traits. On this fourth stage of the journey, Einstein is the local tour guide whose special and general theories of relativity explain the behavior of clocks under these circumstances. Finally, the last part of the voyage reverses direction, moving ever deeper into the past to explore how we can tell the age of "things" - including that of the universe itself.

Download or read book Memoirs of a Sleepless Mind written by J. Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-06-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here's that "different" book you've been searching for. From a perspective reminiscent of Andy Rooney and Bill Maher, it offers observations and opinions about our world. For some of the world's problems, it suggests some unique solutions, like the eight day week, the metric clock, and the Mackay Mobile. This book asks creative questions, like: have you ever tried to make a raisin? It's "just" a dried grape. Have you ever considered a war in the 1700's ranging from Boston to South Carolina? That's a three - day drive on today's highways. How could the people fighting that war keep track of it? Memoirs ponders such things. It's good for reading while waiting in a doctor's office, or other limited time frames, as it occupies the mind without lengthy involvement. The varied subjects included are not generally connected to each other, so it need not be read in any particular order. The reader of Memoirs will find it provocative and humorous. He'll think the author insightful or crazy. He'll be fascinated or dumbfounded. Maybe he'll wonder, "If I soak a raisin, will I get a grape?" If you've been looking for something really different, your search has ended.
