This richly illustrated book provides a system for understanding and memorizing musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology. While there are many books available that cover the subject, Mastering Muscles & Movement presents a fresh approach that is designed to leverage the natural ways the brain observes, learns, and recalls this type of information. Rather than employing the usual one-muscle-per-page format, this book treats groups of muscles as "movement families" and presents them in a way that provides a rich visual, verbal, and relational learning environment.The result is a truly brain-friendly experience for the student. The myriad details and interrelationships are easily recognized in simple and natural ways by the innovative arrangement of the muscle information on each page and from page-to-page. The reader comfortably stays aware of the bigger picture while studying any one item, easily compares and contrasts related features and facts, and is enabled to structure study time to play to strengths or to eliminate weaknesses.Over 170 muscles are covered, as well as all bones, bony landmarks, joints, ligaments, and other related structures. Anatomy and kinesiology concepts and terminology are clearly presented. Detailed yet friendly diagrams employ over 600 illustrations to provide accurate renditions that leverage the natural ways that the brain understands and learns this multifaceted body of knowledge.

★★★ Reader Feedback: Best in the series. Rare and stellar information. - John Decatur ● Alcohol Mantle Lamps is Book 8 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. Unfortunately, when we get to "alcohol lamps," the term conjures up a vision of a lab-type lamp with a small wick and almost invisible flame. Alcohol MANTLE lamps, the subject of this book, are a different animal altogether. Lanterns that use mantles produce light on par with electric light bulbs. ● In France, Tito-Landi (brand) alcohol-burning mantle lamps (producing 100+ watts-worth of light) were produced from before World War One until the 1970's. There was nothing comparable in the USA. We lived in the shadow of Standard Oil and General Motors. ● As a lamp fuel, alcohol has some advantages over petroleum-based fuels. ● For one thing, alcohol does not degrade in storage. For another, alcohol produces less carbon monoxide than ANY petroleum-based fuel making it a better choice for indoor use. Third, in an emergency situation, alcohol (as lamp fuel) can supply a solution that most people are not aware even exists. You can pick up some 91% rubbing alcohol while others are searching for propane cylinders. (Although you do need the appropriate lantern. You cannot just dump alcohol in your Coleman and burn it.) ● Lastly, alcohol is perhaps the ultimate survival fuel. In Europe, World War Two saw many restrictions on petroleum products. So farmers made what was essentially high-proof moonshine and burned it in their lanterns. Primus (a Swedish brand of lantern similar to Coleman) even introduced a lineup of alcohol-burning models. ● Unfortunately, Primus alcohol-burning lanterns are expensive collectibles today. On the upside, this book shows how to convert three relatively common gas-burning mantle lanterns to alcohol. ● This is hard info to come by in the USA. I was in contact with several European collectors while writing this book. It's info that, at the very least, you should have tucked away for future reference. Are you interested in prepping? This is prepping. ● Alcohol Mantle Lamps contains 11,000 words, 85 B&W illustrations, and is 87 pages long. It's available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper. ● This is an 8-book series.

★★★ Reader Feedback: Yabadabadoo! Read it from cover to cover upon receipt. Great info, perspective, and writing style. - Brian Swift ● Coleman Gas Lanterns is Book 5 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. At this point, we've gone through candles and olive oil lamps and kerosene wick-type lamps and we've arrived at Book 5 - Coleman Gas Lanterns. Translation: It's time to hop off the porch and hitch up your big-boy pants. ★★★ Reader Feedback: If you collect or use semi-vintage Coleman lanterns you want this book. So much of the information was new to me even after 40 years of using them. The information on fuels other than Coleman-brand naphtha (white gas) is worth many times the price. - Reasonable Rascal ● Coleman Gas Lanterns contains 11,500 words, 67 B&W illustrations, and is 70 pages long. It's available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper. ★★★ Reader Feedback: A very good, informative book . . . I'm glad I bought it. - Todd Benson ● Pressure lanterns, though not as convenient as throwing a wall switch, will produce light on par with electric. ● Do you know the difference between Coleman Quick-Lite and Coleman Instant-Lite? You probably should if you're into prepping. It's nice to speak the language. It's nice to go to a flea market and know what you're looking at. ● Do the newer Coleman Dual Fuel lanterns really burn automobile gas like the ads say? This book has some first-hand test results. Plus recommendations about what to buy and what to avoid. ● And this book has an excellent section on carbon monoxide. YouTube has both good info and bad on carbon monoxide. But do you know which is which? Wouldn't it be nice to REALLY understand it? Well, the opportunity is at hand. ★★★ Reader Feedback: Best book I've read on gasoline pressure lanterns . . . I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by all the good information in it. - totallyfrozen ★★★ Reader Feedback: Great . . .

★★★ Reader Feedback: Outstanding article! One of the BEST, I've ever read or seen on any preparedness website. Well Done! (and thank you!!) - TPS ● Propane for Preppers is Book 7 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. Much of the material in Book 7 came from a 5-part series of articles in the blog Backdoor Survival. Hence the reader's above-quoted mention of "article." ● Lanterns that use mantles produce light on par with electric light bulbs. And PROPANE mantle lanterns have advantages over liquid-fueled lanterns. ● For one thing, propane does not degrade in storage. You can store it for fifty years. It's still the same stuff. Hook it up and it works. What other petroleum-based fuel can you say that about? ● And propane is convenient compared to liquid fuels. No messy spills. No stinky rags. Certainly that's worth something. ● This book covers safety (from crystal meth to carbon monoxide); step-by-step refilling of one-pounders from 20-pound BBQ tanks (with the emphasis on SAFETY); long-term storage of one-pounders; and many real-life comments & words of advice from readers who saw the original article series. ● Propane for Preppers contains 23,000 words, 45 B&W illustrations, and is 116 pages long. It's available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper. ● This is an 8-book series. The quickest way to see the other titles is [1] to click on the Follow the Author link elsewhere on this page.

★★★ Reader Feedback: Absolutely a MUST-READ for anyone using non-electric lighting . . . I have a college degree in fire protection and worked for years in the petroleum industry . . . I still learned things from this book . . . I can testify that he's correct in the information he shares . . . Enough talk. Just GET THIS BOOK! - totallyfrozen ● Lamp Fuels is Book 3 of The Non-Electric Lighting Series. As soon as we graduate from candles and olive oil to kerosene, the door opens onto the crazy world of bad Internet information about lamp and lantern fuels. We really need to understand this stuff. And that's the purpose of Book 3. ● From the FOREWORD to Book 3: >"I want to assure the reader that the information presented in this book is accurate. The topics, written from a lamp-fuel and lantern-fuel point of view, have been simplified but with full confidence I can state that what is presented is correct. "Please don't burn your house down. Please don't place your family at risk. Please take the time to read these few pages. Please, please, please. READ THE BOOK." - Ester S. Adkisson ★★★ Reader Feedback: A must-have for your library. - shadow ★★★ Reader Feedback: Finally I know what kerosene and mineral spirits are . . . I am so pleased to actually get real honest answers . . . Mr. Brown thank you. - rock hound grandma ● Lamp Fuels contains 12,000 words, 23 B&W illustrations, and is 70 pages long. ● This is an 8-book series.

The first edition of this book ("The AMAZING 2000-Hour Flashlight") contained 54 illustrations. This edition ("The NEW 2000-Hour Flashlight") contains 128 illustrations. The first edition showed how to modify one flashlight, a specific Eveready model, such that it ran 2000 hours on one battery. Unfortunately, Eveready has replaced that particular light with newer models. This edition shows how to obtain extended run times using other brands - one of which runs 2200 hours, better than the original. (Incidentally, 2200 hours equates to three months of continuous running, night and day.) In general, the modifications or "hacks" are accomplished by adding a resistor (30 cents) to a $5 flashlight. Simplicity is the watchword. Wire glue (a glue containing carbon that conducts electricity) can be used in place of solder. Wire glue eliminates soldering and reduces the task from a techie project to Junior High School level. What with floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, blizzards, and downed power lines, there's always a blackout somewhere. If people in general knew the information in this book, life would be a lot easier for a lot of folks.

★★★ Reader Feedback: Five Stars. Everything I expected and more! - NE ● Kerosene Lamps is Book 4 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. It covers wick-type kerosene lamps and lanterns and is intended for users, not antique dealers. How can we generate LIGHT? That is the question. ● Fuel substitutes, safety, operating procedures, maintenance, repair, and various lamp styles are the topics. Things to look for when buying used. Cost effectiveness. Homemade lamps. Candlepower. Those are the topics discussed. Collector value? Never mentioned. ★★★ Reader Feedback: Everyone should read this. - R.L. Ake ● This book covers the simple flat-wick lamps sold today in every Walmart and Family Dollar. But there's quite a bit more to it than that. ● As an adult, I happened to be at my parent's home one evening when a blackout occurred. My mother sent me to check on an elderly woman, a 90-year-old family friend, who lived alone. When she came to the door, I was stunned by the kerosene lamp she had burning in the living room. Whereas the kerosene lamp my parents kept tucked away for emergencies gave off light on par with a 71/2-watt nightlight, this woman's lamp was more like a 40-watt light bulb. It was not a Coleman lantern that hissed or needed pumping up. It was merely a wick-fed table lamp that ran on kerosene. The brand name was Rayo. Check 'em out on eBay. ● I later discovered that Rayos were on the market 20 years before Colemans. The Rayo wick, instead of being flat, was tubular, like a sock. The fire at the top of the wick formed a ring. Light output was striking. ● When I got home and told my mother about it, she smiled. "Oh yes. And in England they used to have Duplex lamps. They had two wicks instead of one. That's what they used during the War." Turns out Duplexes were introduced 30 years before Rayos. And gave off almost as much light as a Rayo. ● What?! How could I have grown up so ignorant? This is technology from Grandpa's day. Surely, I MUST be a step ahead of Grandpa, no? ● Then again, maybe not. Maybe it's time to just back up a step and see what we've forgotten. I think most folks will be surprised. ★★★ Reader Feedback: I used to collect kerosene lamps and lanterns and have used them for decades. I still learned a lot from this book that I'd never known. In my opinion, this whole series is a must-have for every prepper or off-grid dweller. - totallyfrozen ★★★ Reader Feedback: Great source of general information on kerosene lanterns, parts, fuel, and technical information. A welcome addition to my library. - Charles T. Eilenstein ● Kerosene Lamps contains 10,000 words, 85 B&W illustrations, and is 61 pages long.

Triumph Models N de Luxe and NL Probably best remembered as Triumph's first saddle-tank model the 1928 Model N de Luxe actually heralded a new style of Triumph motor cycle. With its much lower riding position, compared with its forerunners, the Models P and N, it feels really 'sporty' and the riders of the period must have felt that they were 'leaders of the pack'.Although, by name, a "de luxe" version of the 1927 Model N, and the motive power still basically the reliable and very successful 494cc of the 1925/26 Model P, I have found the difference in riding is chalk and cheese; with the N de Luxe qualifying as the best British cheddar. This difference starts from the time one wheels the machine from the garage, and in my garage the 1927 Model P and the 1928 N de Luxe reside side by side. Being so much smaller with its lower frame the machine is wheeled without effort. For the same reason mounting and dismounting is no problem. It should go without saying that starting is with the normal Triumph ease.That period between start and finish is most pleasurable. It must be the frame, but vibration is much reduced from that apparent with the same engined Model P, handling is no problem and corners are taken with ease.If you are suspecting that I believe that the 1928-29 Model N de Luxe / NL is one of Triumph's best; you would be right!>---------- The early decades of the 20th century was an exciting period of innovation in automotive history when travel options were limited and the freedom of motorcycling was a real adventure.Are you are restoring one of these early Triumph motor cycle?Interested in motorcycling history?Needing the correct historical FACTS for your book or film project?Or researching aspects of your family history.Then this book, being filled with accurate technical details; images and diagrams from the period; and historical information - The FACTS - is for you.Each book within the Triumph The FACTS series, is the result of patient, dedicated and meticulous research by the author to cover a single motor cycle model, or common range, in detail.This series of The FACTS books has been titled due to a remark from someone whom Peter assisted with his restoration."Over the years many people have given me advice but you are the only one who has ever given me FACTS!" ---------- On Nov 14th 1940, the Triumph factory was destroyed in the air raid on Coventry. All records were lost of models built, their dates and total numbers.4 decades later, in the early 1980's, Peter Cornelius accepted the challenge to accurately date every pre-1940 Triumph motor cycle, and spent the following 4 decades intimately researching the details of every pre-1940 Triumph, to rediscover the 11 missing coding systems.Recognised as a global authority on Vintage Triumph motor cycles, a Marque Specialist for the Vintage Motor Cycle Club in the UK even when he emigrated to NZ, Peter is the author of 28 books on Triumph history before 1940.
