This is an enlarged edition of a work that has been accepted as the most complete exposition of model shipbuilding. The book is unusual in its attention to minute and authentic detail, supplying more than a thousand diagrams. Included are details and features of a typical whaling vessel of the Moby Dick era, river and harbor ferryboats of the double-ender type and, in removable inserts, complete working plans for a clipper ship, a Gloucester fisherman, a harbor tugboat, a dragger, and the "ironclads" Monitor and Merrimac.

Come closer. Take off your mask. No, wait… leave it on. I’d like to see who you’re pretending to be, or who you think you are. There’ll be time enough to find out who you really are later… much later. Like when you’ve seduced me to your bed, or lured me to my death, or… but wait! You’re not planning any of those things, are you? Why, you’re just frightened; hiding behind that rubber skin for fear of being mocked or hassled; or to blend in. Well now, let’s peek at who you really are, shall we? Oh… Oh, it’s you?! But I thought – *********** 22 short stories with one common theme; masks. This unique cover is a Clive Barker-designed Cenobite mask, painted by the editor Steve Dillon, who writes in his introduction "But why masks? I’ve always been a lover of masks and have collected them and worn them for as long as I can recall. One of my school paintings was a self-portrait which, having completed it and deemed it too ugly, I painted a clown-mask over the top of it. Whether or not that resonates with readers of this introduction, I think it’s safe to suggest we all use masks of one sort or another, both to protect us from ourselves, as well as to prevent our detection by others, or project a different image of who we are. We hide behind them, gain strength and courage from them, deflect judgement with their use so we can ‘fit in,’ and so on. "For this anthology, I hoped for memorable, dark, frightening stories. Tales of psychological or supernatural horror with a mask of some sort that was central to the story. I’d originally thought of theatrical masks, or clowns such as Jimmy Stewart’s character Buttons in ‘The Greatest Show on Earth.’ But, of course, masks can also be devised using cosmetic surgery, whether that’s to hide behind, or for transformation, beautification or gender-identification. Masks are also used extensively in roleplay, acting, disguise, and as part of a concealment by religious or traditional costume. Without offering any spoilers here, this anthology contains great examples of each of the above types of masks, and some I hadn’t even considered… enjoy!

Science students of today are inundated with a variety of complex and technical information. But the presentation of this information in a learner-friendly manner is often a scarcity. This Anatomy and Physiology coloring book presents anatomical structures with large, clear, yet detailed diagrams. The accompanying physiologic concepts are concise, with a sprinkle of humor. This makes each coloring exercise a fun and interactive experience that is conducive to student learning. The authors combined their 50-plus years of instructorship in Anatomy and Physiology to reinforce the concept of anatomical form fitting function, and forge a broader understanding of the interdependence of body systems with the rest of the natural world. Much of the subject matter they have crystallized to the essentials that students are required know, and emphasis is placed on details often overlooked in their study. This book capitalizes on an excellent early-learning modality involving the combined use of visual and motor centers within the brain. Each page presents a single anatomical or physiological concept in the appropriate style, format and size that is most conducive to efficient learning. The text-guided page which accompanies each exercise, not only walks the student through the exercise, but also provides additional key information for ancillary learning. Each exercise requires two sets of motor responses: one for number-matching structures with their correct label and the other for coloring the structure and color-coding the label. Although other anatomy study guides and workbooks are available, this one stands out because of its: (1) clarity (2) larger label-guided diagrams (3) its learning-friendly style and format and (4) its utilization of learning modalities common to the brain. Working with this book will leave a positive and 'brightly colored' impression of the anatomy of the human body.

This practitioners' guide and the accompanying CD provide the basic elements of a curriculum management system that will help school districts address, in a practical manner, the need to improve student learning. The emphasis throughout the book on alignment of written, taught, and tested curriculum provides a framework for quality control of a district's educational program. The guidance draws heavily on the foundations of curriculum management, initiated and developed by Fenwick English. The authors offer concrete resources from the many school systems where they have taught, observed, trained, and/or coached educators to implement the changes necessary to dramatically improve student achievement.

"As our society becomes increasingly drenched in technological gadgetry, Johnson's urgent plea for intimacy with nature as a vital pathway toward mental and physical restoration is just "what the doctor ordered." Here is a voice crying for the wilderness with a salvic message that could benefit millions!" ~ Gene Stone, Associate Professor of Biology, Walla Walla University "I can never look at the world in the same way after falling under the influence of Johnson's perspective." ~ Lawrence R. McCloskey, Professor, and Chair, LaSierra University "Gene Johnson, like Solomon of old, crafts for us a love story, sensuous in color, texture, and tone. He stirs the same feelings of kinship and belonging evoked by Henry David Thoreau, Terry Tempest Williams, and Barry Lopez. If you let it, Romancing the Universe will lure you into your own love affair with the cosmos." ~ James L. Hayward, Research Professor of Biology, Andrews University After spending 30 years looking at the world through a wide-angle lens, naturalist, philosopher, G. Gene Johnson, in Romancing the Universe, shares a remarkable vision across boundaries; a vision which: • Recognizes Earth's Unity • Shares Earth's Community • Celebrates Earth's Diversity • Honors Earth's Circularity • Participates in Earth's Reciprocity • And Respects Earth's Numinosity Johnson believes Earth knowledge is self knowledge and that when we go out into nature, we are returning home. It is a central thesis of Romancing the Universe that only as modern humans partnership with Earth and expose their genetic hearts to the authentic ground of their being will they find a full measure of health and happiness. In an age of career specialization and reductionistic science Romancing the Universe attempts to step back far enough to obtain a vision across boundaries; a vision which brings into focus a holistic view of how the Earth works and invites the reader to live and love more richly and widely. The fundamentals of Earth's operations are "storied out" with short essays calculated to personalize the information and "paint the reader into the picture." Romancing the Universe not only addresses the ecological facts, but also addresses the human spirit, psyche and will. The book will be of great value to all who seek to live more graciously in the world at large.
