The third edition of Fire and Life Safety Educator provides the educator with knowledge to support successful performance as a fire and life safety educator as addressed in NFPA(R) 1035, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire and Life Safety Educator, Public Information Officer, and Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Specialist. In addition, the manual meets the learning outcomes of the National Fire Academy's Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) non-core course Fire and Life Safety Educator. This manual should be the first document on a public educator's bookshelf and a "ready reference" of public education knowledge. The manual is intended to educate the educator rather than to train the educator. In this way, the educator will be able to apply knowledge and skills to many different areas under the "umbrella" of injury prevention and control. The manual focuses on all-risk education. This manual is intended to assist in preparing for certification to the Fire and Life Safety Educator I, II, and III and Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Specialist I and II levels of NFPA(R) 1035 Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire and Life Safety Educator, 2010 edition.

For a one-quarter or one-semster course on Signals and Systems. This new edition delivers an accessible yet comprehensive analytical introduction to continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. It also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts, using demos, downloaded data, and MATLAB+ó to demonstrate solutions for a wide range of problems in engineering and other fields such as financial data analysis. Its flexible structure adapts easily for courses taught by semester or by quarter.

For one-semester courses in Introductory Remote Sensing as well as Introductory Airphoto Interpretation. This widely adopted book introduces the fundamentals of remote sensing from an earth resource (versus engineering) perspective. Emphasis is on turning remote sensing data into useful spatial biophysical or socio-economic information that can be used to make decisions.

A structured, data-driven approach to understanding core operations management concepts. Anupindi shows how managers can design and manage process structure and process drivers to improve the performance of any business process.

Alix Adams Law for Business Students is popular for explaining the law in a jargon-free, engaging style and exploring the law firmly within the business world in which it operates using real life examples.

These poems were composed for the first time as blog entries under the title "Kahve Chronicles: Rats and Berries." They are musings of a mutt, a Mastiff crossed with a Kangal, about life, survival, and relationship with humans -- mostly Greek Philosophers, who in the end believe that our hero must be scrutinized at a "kangaroo court," by judges that consist of: Descartes, Cicero, Occam, Oedipus, and Alexander Dumas. Kahve's grave sin appears to be misleading his students who pay good money to attend a newly designated Ivy League university.
