Описание: Based on the M4A2 and M4A3 Sherman tank chassis, and fitted with a 3-inch M7 gun, the M10 was numerically the most important US tank destroyer of WWII. The M10 was built in response to the stunning successes of the German armored Blitzkrieg at the outset of the war in Europe. Fitted with a turret—unlike most self-propelled artillery of the era—the vehicle was more heavily gunned but more lightly armored than a tank. M10 crews were expected to make the most of their vehicle’s speed and agility. The M10 received its baptism of fire in Tunisia in 1943, where it demonstrated its ability to destroy most German Panzers then in service. The British upgraded the design by rearming some of the 1,700 M10s that they received with the superb Ordnance Quick Firing 17-pounder antitank gun. These vehicles were designated by the British as 17-pounder SP M10 Mark IC/IIC, popularly known as the Achilles.

Описание: The Stuart light tanks were the first tanks taken into combat by US troops during WWII. Production of these vehicles can be broken into two categories: the early tanks powered by air-cooled radial engines, and late vehicles powered by twin V-8 engines. This volume explores the late vehicles with Cadillac water-cooled engines, the M5 and M5A1, as well as the M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage. Widely used by both the US Army and US Marines, as well as many Allied nations, these tanks, though lightly armed and armored, were mechanically sound and were widely used by US forces in Europe and the Pacific, as well as by Allied nations. Through dozens of archival photos, including previously unpublished images, as well as detailed photographs of some of the finest existing examples of these vehicles, this early-war combat vehicle is explored, and its history is explained. A companion volume explores the early M3, M3A1, and M3A3 versions.

Описание:
As the law differs according to whether one is in London and whether one is dealing with hackney carriages or private hire vehicles, this book focuses solely on hackney carriage licensing in London. It is intended to serve as a practical reference guide for the busy licensing practitioner, regulator in London, or anyone having an interest in the London taxi trade itself.
Organised over 7 chapters it aims to provide practical guidance on the relevant law and policy and a reference of where to find further detail if required. The law is often complex and contained in many different statutes as well as in secondary legislation. The aim of the book is to assist in the understanding of that law whilst providing a reference to the source of it.
Chapters include; an introduction to hackney carriage licensing; hackney carriage vehicle licencing; a chapter devoted to the important topic of plying for hire; hackney carriage drivers' licensing; criminal offences; licensing authority decision making; and appeals of licensing decisions.

Top Five Strategies to Build Your Word-of-Mouth Marketing
This guidebook is for you if you run a small business and would like better word-of-mouth in the community and online.
It begins with knowing the majority of new business comes from positive word-of-mouth.
What's easy to forget -- and may be surprising -- is that positive word-of-mouth actually comes from a planned strategy.
"The Reputation Matrix turns small business marketing on its head. I am a small business owner and thought that word-of-mouth was outside of my control. Marjorie Young's book has empowered me to make word-of-mouth an active marketing practice that I cultivate rather than something I just cross my fingers and hope to receive. This is a game changer " -Melissa Gratias, Ph.D., Productivity Coach, Speaker, and Writer

Описание:
"This was supposed to be an exciting moment, the announcement that my baby was coming. I realized that I was going through labor, but at the end of it, I would have nothing."
(Mis)carriage is one woman's honest, intimate journey through the loss of her child after eight weeks of pregnancy. Her candid account of loss, grief, and new beginnings shines as comforting proof that hope awaits in the aftermath, and that the loss of her baby matters.
Although an estimated one in four women experiences a miscarriage, there is a stark absence of resources available to these women and their families. Regan Parker's personal yet universal story of love, life, and loss boldly explores the complexities of grief, while calling plaintively for the resources that would help others cope with the pain of losing a child.
In an endorsement for (Mis)carriage, the American Pregnancy Association agrees with Regan Parker. It writes that "getting people talking about miscarriage, sharing their stories, and getting help and support is vital for emotional health and healing. We believe as you read her story and share your story, that healing is available for you."
Through her grief, Parker grappled with the unanswered questions of why. Why did she lose her baby? Why was her miscarriage largely disregarded by the medical community and our society? Why wasn't she supposed to mourn a loss in the first trimester? Why wasn't anyone talking about this? The book raises vital questions intended to spark change in current medical policies and open conversations among women and their communities.
Parker's memoir explores the essence of human nature and finds that beneath the heartbreaking experience of losing a child and the newfound hope that blossoms in parenthood, there is the truth that in the end is the beginning.
"This book will not only help those who feel lonely in their journey of their loss but also the hope of a future. I truly recommend this to anyone who has felt the pain that miscarriage has caused." - Jana Kramer, actress and singer.
Regan's story makes clear that it matters that these women are mothers without babies. It matters that they want to know the reasons for their early pregnancy loss. It matters that miscarriage is a universal experience shared by tens of thousands of women, but is hardly mentioned among women and medical practitioners.
"(Mis)carriage is a heartfelt and heartbreaking book. It is written with raw emotion, and fills a huge void in the literature." - Mary Morrill Chuba, M.D.
Parker boldly confesses, "I am offering my story, in all of its painful and raw beauty, as a way to try to give a voice to those who suffer in silence. I hear you. I see you. I am you. I am the one in four."
