provides the first scholarly historical and psychological analysis of both the content and the appeal of women's popular fiction in America during the past two centuries. Principal attention is given to the power of the images of home and mother, and to the theme of conflict between autonomy and dependence in the female characters.

A guide to switching power-supply design, which concentrates on the use of IC regulators. It describes the popular forms of switching supplies, including DC-DC converters, inverters, buck, boost, buck-boost, pulse frequency modulation, pulse width modulation, current-mode control and pulse skipping.

Providing background on safety cultures themselves, this work utilizes some of the basic safety principles, combines them with some of the basic management theories and puts this to use in real life situations. It aims for zero incidents to control costs and losses.

Explains the basic theory, applications, and benefits of vibration analysis, which is the dominant predictive maintenance technique used with maintenance management programs. All mechanical equipment in motion generates a vibration profile, or signature, that reflects its operating condition.
