Spar Records Story

$199

Maffig 3-CD box från SPAR Records. Bolaget som drog igång på 60-talet var kända för att vara en “sound-alike” label, de specialiserade sig på att göra covers på dåtidens hits, ofta var dock musikerna de allra bästa i branschen. SPAR hade i sitt stall musiker som spelade med Elvis, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan och Johnny Cash. Den här boxen koncentrerar sig dock på inte på coverlåtarna utan för fram bolagets originalinspelningar. Intressant tidsdokument.

Clinical Manual of Geriatric Psychiatry by Spar, James E.; LaRue, Asenath Edition ILL, 1

$30.99

Because limited training in geriatric psychiatry has tended to give insufficient attention to mental health care for the elderly, clinicians often need help when assessing and treating problems specific to older clients. Clinical Manual of Geriatric Psychiatryprovides a single-volume reference that covers the full range of such problems, from depression to dementia. It shows that psychiatrists working with older people must sometimes be willing to play a generalist's role, combining routine medical management with psychiatric interventions or helping with social or situational problems.Drs. Spar and La Rue review the effects of aging on cognitive performance, including clinical presentations of memory loss and medication-induced symptoms of mental disorder. They offer practical guidance to help the clinician not only diagnose and treat these conditions but also address such issues as evaluating competency for informed consent. Enhanced by numerous charts and tables for easy reference, the book boasts a broad range of coverage:• Guidelines to differential diagnosis of depression—laboratory tests, psychological tests, and symptom rating scales—along with insights on new directions in psychotherapy, including intervention within primary care. • Assessment of both selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and non-SSRIs as first-line agents for depression, citing advantages and disadvantages of specific drugs, plus advice on switching or combining antidepressants.• Discussion of the effective use of electroconvulsive therapy—particularly the use of brief-pulse, bilateral electrode placement—as well as experimental therapies such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and vagal nerve stimulation. • Guidance in cognitive mental status examinations and brief screening tools for dementia and Alzheimer's disease, focusing on the Mini-Mental State Exam and summarizing advanced and experimental diagnostics such as single photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography. • Appraisal of psychosocial therapies for patients with Alzheimer's Disease, such as behavior modification and reminiscence therapy, plus use of cholinesterase inhibitors for treatment of cognitive deficits.• Review of approaches to anxiety disorders, including differential diagnosis of phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder, with a focus on psychosocial-behavior therapy and medications of choice.With life expectancies increasing, people over 85 already constitute one of the fastest growing demographics—and the number of older people with mental disorders is rising as well. Clinical Manual of Geriatric Psychiatryexplains how working effectively with older adults requires a blending of specialized knowledge with a flexible approach to the patient—and shows how to bring that about in daily practice.

The Cooperative Edge by Spar, Debora L. Edition , 0

$13.99

Why does international cooperation work for some enterprises and not for others? And what distinguishes the few that succeed from the majority that fail? In this tough-minded, lucid book, Debora L. Spar finds answers to these questions when she examines four commodity cartels. Along the way, she tells some intriguing stories of skulduggery and collusion.

Ruling the Waves by Spar, Debora L. Edition , 0

$24.99

Beginning with the development of the compass,Ruling the Wavesexamines a series of technological revolutions that promised, in their time, to transform the world's politics and business. With Debora Spar's gifted storytelling, each chapter reads like an adventure tale as she recounts the histories of the printing press and maps; of the telegraph, radio, and satellite television; of software, encryption, and the advent of digital music. At each of these junctures Spar suggests that invention led to both a wave of commerce and of chaos.Entrepreneurs such as Samuel Morse and Rupert Murdoch carved new markets from the emerging technology and proclaimed that the old rules no longer applied. And for a while, they were right. But eventually–and inevitably–even cowboys need rules: rules of property, rules of coordination, rules of competition. The erstwhile pioneers thus turn to government, lobbying for order and setting the stage for the next wave of discovery.A fascinating history of business,Ruling the Wavesis also an original, thought-provoking analysis of the parallels between past innovations and inventions and our own tumultuous times.

The Baby Business by Spar, Debora L. Edition , 1

$20.99

Despite legislation that claims to prohibit it, there is a thriving market for babies spreading across the globeFueled by rapid advances in reproductive medicine and the desperate desires of millions of would-be parents, the acquisition of children—whether through donated eggs, rented wombs, or cross-border adoption—has become a multibillion dollar industry that has left science, law, ethics, and commerce deeply at odds.In The Baby Business, Debora Spar argues that it is time to acknowledge the commercial truth about reproduction and to establish a standard that governs its transactions. In this fascinating behind-the-scenes account, she combines pioneering research and interviews with the industry’s top reproductive scientists and trailblazers to provide a first glimpse at how the industry works: who the baby-makers are, who makes money, how prices are set, and what defines the clientele. Fascinating stories illustrate the inner workings of market segments–including stem cell research, surrogacy, egg swapping, designer babies, adoption, and human cloning–as Spar explores the moral and legal challenges that industry players must address.The first purely commercial look at an industry that deals in humanity’s most intimate issues, this book challenges us to consider the financial promise and ethical perils we’ll face as the baby business moves inevitably forward.

Dynamic positioning and motion mitigation of a scaled sea basing platform.

$49.99

A 6-Degree Of Freedom (DOF) numeric model and computer simulation along with the 1/10th scale physical model of the Rapidly Deployable Stable Platform (RDSP) are being developed at Florida Atlantic University in response to military needs for ocean platforms with improved sea keeping characteristics. The RDSP is a self deployable spar platform with two distinct modes of operation enabling long distance transit and superior seakeeping. The focus of this research is the development of a Dynamic Position (DP) and motion mitigation system for the RDSP. This will be accomplished though the validation of the mathematical simulation, development of a novel propulsion system, and implementation of a PID controller. The result of this research is an assessment of the response characteristics of the RDSP that quantifies the performance of the propulsion system coupled with active control providing a solid basis for further controller development and operational testing.

Issues on machine vision

This book provides the foundational building blocks for consciously and proactively developing a marriage that is strong and durable. Giving this book as a gift is like giving a manual for the care and treatment of the relationship! Every couple should have a copy as part of their tool kit for a fulfilling life together.-Jeffrey F.
