Описание: Chemical industries, dairy units, oil and gas refineries, petro-chemical complexes and fertilizer manufacturing units are few of those areas which are incomplete without anti-corrosive treatment for concrete surface. Environmental effects, spillage and dust- emission are few of those processes which can corrode concrete. Protection of concrete surface of constructed elements from corrosive attack "arising through very harsh corrosive conditions" from all those (and many more) sources of corrosion becomes a moral duty of a Civil Engineer. This book is an effort in this direction to share the applied knowledge with the budding Engineers so that they are aware of such protective measures to be taken for the situations they are put into which I am sure, you must have found it to be of significant importance. One save of production stoppage with use of knowledge contained in this book would serve the very purpose of bringing it out.

Описание:
"I'm not a working musician," the legendary Canadian jazz guitarist Sonny Greenwich once declared. "When I decide to play, I play to awake people spiritually. That's the only reason."
For that, and for his stirring, distinctively linear style, he was hailed in 1970 as "the Coltrane of guitar players." In truth, though, Greenwich made music entirely on his own transcendent terms in the course of an uncompromising 50-year career that took him from the smallest of clubs in Toronto and Montreal to the Village Vanguard and Carnegie Hall in New York and back.
Of Stars and Strings is an engaging study of a rare Canadian original, and a valuable contribution by Mark Miller to the history of jazz in Canada.
As an army chaplain for 30 years, I had opportunity to work with and serve as pastor of the world community of God's greatest creation. I never felt called to be a neighborhood pastor though I loved it.
Reflections of an Army chaplain are just that. The book is a composite of written and resurfaced experiences and not always in chronological order. I apologize to the many friends who at varied stages of my development encouraged me to publish my thoughts. I further apologize for criticizing the many graduate and post-graduate level professors whose uniquely inspired presentations were not put in print. In spirit, for whatever justification, I was not ready until today. So, you get the whole load. Whoever you are, I love you in Christ. Thanks for sharing your time while permitting me to unload on you. My goal is consistent: Respect our flag and Constitution for whom Americans have fought and died protecting; The Christian faith, at its core, not necessarily in its practice, is not the only world religion but the one, I believe has the best hope for establishing world peace; It is not intended as a scholarly masterpiece though it reveals respect for academia. Yet some scholarly works of academia may be the primary cause of contemporary tragic consequences. This book is inclusive of 79 years of living.
