Come Look with Me: Exploring Modern Art: Exploring Modern Art by Jessica N. Wright, ISBN 1890674109
Well suited for both individual and classroom use, Exploring Modern Art pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging children to learn through visual exploration and interaction. Thoughtful text introduces the world and work of the artist, making the most of a child's natural curiosity.
Children enter the feelings and flat shapes of Henri Matisse's The Red Room (Harmony in Red); they compare Pablo Picasso's Horse Head Mask
with a firespitter mask from the Ivory Coast; they imagine the expression on the face of the young girl in Diego Rivera's The Flower Vendor (Girl With Lilies).
Spiritual Intimacy: A Study of Counseling in Hasidism by Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, ISBN 1568219237
How does one become a rebbe (hasidic master) or a hasid (his disciple)? What is the nature of the relationship between them? What happens during the private interview (known as yehidut) between rebbe and hasid? How does the yehidut compare to other forms of psychological counseling and in what ways is it distinctive? In Spiritual Intimacy: A Study of Counseling in Hasidism, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi provides a thorough exploration of these issues. The conceptual framework that underlies Hasidism plays an important role in understanding the life cycle of a hasid and the different stages at which he seeks the rebbe's counsel. Rabbi Schachter-Shalomi illuminates the dimensions of a hasid's life pattern, as well as the social, historical, and ideological aspects of Hasidism that inevitable influence the rebbe's role and his ability to discern the hasid's life tasks.

Process Dynamics and Control: Modeling for Control and Prediction
Process Dynamics and Control: Modeling for Control and Prediction is a comprehensive and practical overview of modeling that is divided into three broad parts. The first part deals with developing physical models, the second part with developing empirical models and the final part discusses developing process control solutions.
Taking a unique approach to the subject the book includes both physical and empirical modeling as well as discussing developing control schemes for entire process plants. Theory is discussed where needed to ensure students have a full understanding of key techniques that are used to solve a modeling problem.
MATLAB is used throughout the book as the standard for developing process models of limited complexity. In this way, the reader can study the detailed process dynamics and compare it to the linearized and approximated process dynamics. Models of different process units have been developed and are available as a source for further model development....

Three Psychologies: Perspectives from Freud, Skinner, and Rogers by Robert D. Nye, ISBN 053436845X
Robert D. Nye's THREE PSYCHOLOGIES clearly and succinctly presents the essential ideas of Freud, Skinner, and Rogers, three of the most important contributors to contemporary psychological thought. A brief introductory chapter gives an overview of each perspective and points out some basic differences among the theories. Chapters Two, Three, and Four discuss the basic ideas of the three psychologists, including practical examples, real-world applications, and commentaries. Chapter Five compares the theories on specific topics, also offering critical evaluations, and Nye's personal comments. An Epilogue includes concise information about cognitive psychology and Albert Ellis's rational-emotive behavior therapy, so that readers can compare these currently popular approaches with those of Freud, Skinner, and Rogers.

Server Architectures: Multiprocessors, Clusters, Parallel Systems, Web Servers, and Storage Solutions
The goal of this book is to present and compare various options one for systems architecture from two separate points of view. One, that of the information technology decision-maker who must choose a solution matching company business requirements, and secondly that of the systems architect who finds himself between the rock of changes in hardware and software technologies and the hard place of changing business needs.
Different aspects of server architecture are presented, from databases designed for parallel architectures to high-availability systems, and touching en route on often- neglected performance aspects.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Statistical Theories for Basic Geophysical Flows
This introduction to the important interplay between nonlinear dynamics and statistical theories for geophysical flows is designed for a multi-disciplinary audience ranging from graduate students to senior researchers. Novel applications of information theory are utilized to simplify, unify, and compare the equilibrium statistical theories. Topics and related background concepts are introduced and developed through elementary examples and discussion throughout the text as they arise. No previous background in geophysical flows is needed to read the text.

Forgotten Texas Census: First Annual Report of the Agricultural Bureau of the Department of Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics, and History, 1887-1888 by L. L. Foster, ISBN 0876111835
A wide-angle portrait of Texas in the 1880s is typically a difficult picture to capture. But a unique government document of more than three hundred pages does it as well as our imagination will allow by providing the statistics and data to make it possible. In 1887, a state bureaucrat -- Lafayette Lumpkin Foster -- used his position as head of the Department of Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics, and History to create a compendium of wide-ranging information for Texans and people interested in Texas. It was a treasure trove then and even more so now for the modern reader and researcher. Open the pages of his First Annual Report of the Agricultural Bureau and you have a unique window into understanding the people, towns, counties, railroads, and farming experiences that made up late-nineteenth-century Texas. The Texas State Historical Association presents this document, out-of-print for more than one hundred and ten years, as the latest in its Fred H. and Ella Mae Moore Texas History Reprint...
