"The new appendix on personal finance and taxes is helpful. This is a topic that really isn't covered in other textbooks, but students desperately need to know about it." --Nina D. Miville, University of Miami Donald G. Newnan is Professor Emeritus of Industrial and Systems Engineering at San Jose State University.Ted G. Eschenbach is a consultant and Professor Emeritus of Engineering Management at the University of Alaska Anchorage.Jerome P. Lavelle is Associate Dean of Academic Affairs in the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University.

The thirteenth edition of the market-leading Engineering Economic Analysis offers comprehensive coverage of financial and economic decision making for engineers, with an emphasis on problem solving, life-cycle costs, and the time value of money. The authors' clear, accessible writing, emphasis on practical applications, and relevant contemporary examples have made this text a perennial bestseller. With its logical organization and extensive ancillary package, Engineering Economic Analysis is widely regarded as a highly effective tool for teaching and learning.

A lot of information in not a lot of pages- But well collated Putting aside how much I hated this class, the book was actually pretty good. Not as user-friendly as it could have been. You can tell it was written by engineers and proof read by engineers. Very dense.Sightly damaged The book is in slightly worse shape then I'd like. One page is almost completely ripped out of the book. There might be more but I haven't made it that far in the book yet.An Excellent Textbook As a professor who teaches Engineering Economics, I give my highest praise to the Newnan textbook. I have used various editions of this book in my graduate classes for 20 years. It is clearly written and provides excellent examples and real-world problems that truly attract and keep student attention. It is not calculus-based, and this is a distinct advantage for students not well-grounded in calculus.The rental program offered by Amazon is a terrific deal. You can typically rent a text for $25 for the semester, then return it in good condition once the semester is over. I teach at a public university where many students are financially challenged. Renting a text is a marvelous solution for the cost conscious. It doesn't get better than that!To test the rental process, I ordered a rental of this text and it came in timely. No issues with its return at the end of the semester either.

"Calling fans of Diana Gabaldon and Sharon Kay Penman."―Entertainment Weekly"Truly an epic journey. Inspired by Inuit history, culture and mythology, the author has crafted an imaginative and compelling story in which human, animal and god alike struggle for survival in the stark environment of America's far north. Young shaman Omat is a memorable protagonist."―Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters series"An epic, sweeping tale of self-discovery....An intriguing story and a fantastic finale. It felt like a story worth telling and definitely one worth reading."―Hypable"Brodsky takes the one surviving record of a meeting between the Norse and the Inuit and spins it into a compelling and fast-paced tale."―Kirkus"Absolutely stunning....This epic, sprawling standalone fantasy novel should not be missed. It will be one that stays with me for quite some time."―Fantasy Book Review"A propulsive, deeply researched glimpse into a time and place that will be familiar to few, and which proves to be as fascinating as any fictional universe."―B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog Jordanna Max Brodsky hails from Virginia, where she made it through a science and technology high school by pretending it was a theater conservatory. She holds a degree in history and literature from Harvard University. She lives with her husband in Manhattan, where she is working on her next novel.

A sweeping tale of clashing cultures, warring gods, and forbidden love: In 1000 AD, a young Inuit shaman and a Viking warrior become unwilling allies as war breaks out between their peoples and their gods---one that will determine the fate of them all.

"Calling fans of Diana Gabaldon and Sharon Kay Penman."---Entertainment Weekly

"Imaginative and compelling."---Juliet Marillier

"There is a very old story, rarely told, of a wolf that runs into the ocean and becomes a whale."

Born with the soul of a hunter and the spirit of the Wolf, Omat is destined to follow in her grandfather's footsteps-invoking the spirits of the land, sea, and sky to protect her people.

But the gods have stopped listening and Omat's family is starving. Alone at the edge of the world, hope is all they have left.

Desperate to save them, Omat journeys across the icy wastes, fighting for survival with every step. When she meets a Viking warrior and his strange new gods, they set in motion a conflict that could shatter her world...or save it.

A stunning, unforgettable story that has become a new favorite I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up The Wolf in the Whale. I had no idea that I was opening up a book that would become one of my new all-time favorites that I am sure to re-read many, many times in the future. I have almost never finished a book and immediately wanted to flip back to the beginning and start reading it again, but I absolutely had that desire for this book.The world-building is one of the most prominent components of the story and is also what immediately drew me in--this world is as much a character in this story as any of the other characters. The setting takes place in what appears to be a real-world setting from 1000 AD in what is now subarctic Canada areas, but there are more magical elements in the form of the Inuit and Viking gods and how they interact with humans. Omat is a shaman, following in the footsteps of her grandfather, which also adds some magical elements in a way that feels genuine and respectful and makes me want to learn more about the world in this book and its inhabitants. I loved all of the mythology that expanded this world and made everything come together in a comprehensive way.The Wolf in the Whale has a strong plot, but it's the characters (along with the setting) that truly make this story as beautiful as it is. Omat is a stunningly complex protagonist with so many layers and so much development that I couldn't help but develop an extremely strong connection with her. She is someone with a lot of internal struggles that often translate into outward conflicts with others and I think the balance of these conflicts is a rather notable aspect that I really appreciate. Brodsky notes in her research that the concept of Omat's father being reborn into her is an older Inuit tradition that actually occurred, and although I cannot speak for any Inuit descendants or those who know the culture, it feels as though it was portrayed really well and in an honorable manner. The way that Brodsky handled the complex nature of Omat's feelings around her gender was incredible and really made this story stand out. I also completely fell in love with Omat's "pack" and think that addition to the story was flawless.Another character that we eventually meet is Brandr, and though I won't say much about him so as not to spoil anything, I want to note how well done his development was as well. Brandr develops not only throughout the current events of the story, but also in some of his background that we get to see that led him to the point he's at when he actually becomes a prominent character in the story. This created a strong foundation not only for Brandr, but also for Brandr's relationship to the Vikings and the nature of the Vikings themselves and their relationships with their gods and others.One of the most creative and striking parts of The Wolf in the Whale was how Brodsky had both the Inuit and the Viking gods interact. Not only did she develop and give each group of gods their own distinct personalities and forms, she also had them merge and interact in ways that felt unlike anything I've seen before in books that feature various gods and mythologies. I also loved seeing how the gods meddled with humans in so many different ways.It's also worth noting that this is a brutal book as much as it is an emotional journey. There is unexpected, intense violence that showcases the harsh reality of the cruelties humans will inflict upon one another, whether because they do not know the culture of another people and view them as inferior or whether it is people of the same culture that they simply do not respect. It's also brutal in the way that it shows the honesty of living in a climate as difficult as the arctic; there is a constant risk of messing up and having deadly consequences. Brodsky pulls no punches in this book.One small last thing I'd like to say is that after I finished this book, I had a strong interest and desire to learn more about the Inuit culture and experience in this world, both in the past and present. This stands out to me because I always think it's a positive reflection on the author's part when a book makes the reader want to continue to learn about a particular subject after reading a book--it shows a dedication to research and respectful storytelling that shines the topic (in this case, Inuit culture) in such a light that I know there is long tradition and history to explore.This book had me constantly hooked. Even when Brodsky was merely explaining how Omat and her family were using all parts of a whale or seal or building an iglu (which, by the way, I've always wanted to experience), I was captivated. Every last detail felt meticulous and and perfectly placed with care. This is a story of exploration and discovery. It's a story that features survival, hope, strength, loss, understanding and tolerance, family, gods meddling with humands, and home. If you want to read a moving, unforgettable journey with no dull moments and characters that will leave you feeling as if you are a part of them, this is the perfect book. I have said this a lot, but I genuinely cannot recommend this book enough.Loved it What a fascinating and informative story of Inuit life! This book was hard for me to put down not only because the plot and characters were so captivating but also because of the anthropological aspects. Fascinating. I haven’t enjoyed a book so much since Joseph Boyden’s ‘The Orenda’ and Sue Harrison’s ‘The Storytellers Trilogy’.

The Turquoise Lament Free Pdf

ISBN: B008WONXEQ
Title: The Turquoise Lament Pdf A Travis McGee Novel

From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Turquoise Lament is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.
 
Funny thing about favors. Sometimes they come back to haunt you. And Travis McGee owes his friend a big one for saving his life once upon a time. Now the friend’s daughter, Linda “Pidge” Lewellen, needs help five time zones away in Hawaii before she sails off into the deep blue with a cold-blooded killer: her husband.
 
“The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author.”—Jonathan Kellerman
 
When treasure hunter Ted Lewellen saved his life in a bar fight, McGee could never have thought he’d end up paying his rescuer back in such a way. But years later he finds himself headed to Hawaii at Ted’s request to find out whether Pidge’s husband really is trying to kill her, or if she’s just losing her mind.
 
Of course, once McGee arrives he can’t help but give in to his baser instincts, and as his affair with Pidge gets underway, he can’t find a single thing wrong. McGee chalks up Pidge’s paranoia to simple anxiety, gives her a pep talk, and leaves for home blissfully happy. It’s not until he’s back in Lauderdale that he realizes he may have overlooked a clue or two. And Pidge might be in very serious danger.
 
Features a new Introduction by Lee Child

Along side of Hammett,Chandler,and Parker, John D. MacDonald was arguably the master of his genre. Is he still worth reading? I fell in love with the Travis McGee series when I was a kid, reading them as they came out. Lost my early copies as I moved around. Later in life I replaced and reread them, kept moving and left them behind again at another place. As an old man a few years ago I decided to buy the series on my Kindle as a Christmas treat for myself. Starting at the beginning with #1(1964), The Deep Blue Goodbye I was underwhelmed and by the time I was part way through #6(1965), Bright Orange for the Shroud I found myself put off by how harshly MacDonald treated his minor characters,and by the way he criticized everything from vegetarians to yoga(disclaimer-I'm partial to both). I stopped reading the series in the middle of the book. Bored one day a few years later I tried the last McGee book MacDonald wrote #21(1985), The Lonely Silver Rain and found MacDonald was just as satisfying but less critical or maybe it was just me who had grown up. Then I tried #18(1979), The Green Ripper and it too showed a less judgmental MacDonald. Deciding that he had changed somewhere along the way I decided working my way backwards would be the safest bet and tried # 16(1975), The Dreadful Lemon Sky,and then The Turquoise Lament/#15(1973) and again I found both to be excellent reads. John D. MacDonald has always been a consummate writer and in his later years before he died in 1986 he seemed to have worked through enough of his demons that he treated the world and his characters with more compassion. May we all do the same.Old friendships are best I've become increasingly turned off by Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, which I loved for a long time, but which seem increasingly formulaic. (The latest one, "Make Me," is so extreme in its revelation of evil that I left it feeling more disgusted than horrified.) And so I recently returned to a much older writer in a similar vein - John D. Macdonald of the Travis McGee books. I was not surprised that the highly appreciative introduction to the re-issued series was written by none other than Child, whose Reacher is an update of McGee in masculine sex appeal, ingenious resourcefulness, and alienation from "normal" society. In re-reading of the McGees, one difference between the two heroes jumps out. Reacher is an outsider with virtually no personal connections other than the obligatory roll-in-the-hay with a smart young lady whom he happens to encounter on one of his nomadic bus trips through the American wasteland. McGee, on the other hand, is an outsider with an almost aching need to repair and maintain connections that meant and continue to mean a great deal to him. Most of the people in peril he "salvages" are someone he used to know or someone close to the person he used to know.. He would g be lost without the intellectual companionship of Meyer, the world-class economist who is his occasional partner in detection. And of course there is his beloved houseboat, the Busted Flush, well stocked with blue-chip jazz recordings and Plymouth gin. Reading Reacher, I increasingly feel his remoteness, his unreality as a character. Returning to McGee, I am back in the presence of an old, very good friend, crotchets and all. "The Turquoise Lament" is McGee at his most personal, most vulnerable. And he remains very good company.Most of the people he "salvages" have had a place in his past and a claim on his feelings. He would be lost without the intellectual, gruff companionship of Meyer, the world-class economist who is his frequent partner in crime-solving. And of course there is his beloved houseboat, the Busted Flush, impeccably maintained and stocked with blue-chip jazz recordings and Plymouth gin. Unlike Reacher's adventures, McGee's are intimate affairs, ripe with nostalgia and self-doubt, long, probing conversations, prickly observations about the "little things" about the modern world that bug him, bittersweet rather than triumphant in their final flavor. You don't marvel at McGee's fearlessness the way you do at Reacher's. You worry about his fragility, not just physical but mental. With ever new Reacher book, I feel his increasing remoteness as a character. Going back to the McGee books, to their different time and place in the 1960s and '70s, I feel I a re-encountering an old, very dear friend. "The Turquoise Lament" is McGee at his most personal and his company is better than ever.
