Working Postures and Movements: Tools for Evaluation and Engineering
504 pages | Sep 22 2005 |ISBN: 0415279089 | PDF | 5.5 Mb
In most industries, musculoskeletal injuries are the most common work-related reason for employee absences. These injuries are often caused by static postures or repetitive movements that have to be maintained for many hours a day, such as intensive use of data entry devices, assembly work, parts inspection, equipment maintenance, manual materials handling, machinery operations, and vehicle operation, among others. In order to prevent such injuries, occupational health professionals, ergonomists, production engineers, and product designers need to know how to evaluate postures and movements, and understand how these are determined by the work environment, as well as what design tools are available to achieve less stressful working postures and movements.
ThemeForest - Divino - Church and Religious Movements HTML/CSS3 - Rip | 66 MB
Divino is an HTML theme built for Church and Religious Movements, but can be used for other scopes, because of its flexibility when it comes to customization. Divino is a fixed layout html theme that fits nicely in that 960 grid system, with Wide and Narrow layout support, with nicely spaced elements which are combined with a unlimited colour palette to create a unique and neat looking design. This site is quite far from the main-stream trend right now, of minimalistic elements, but it uses clean edges and shadows, accentuated by different contrast variations between backgrounds and content areas, trying to achieve the main purpose: a clean & interesting website and a friendly user experience.
Historical Dictionary of Shinto (Historical Dictionaries of Religions, Philosophies, and Movements Series) by Stuart D.B. Picken
Publisher: Scarecrow Press; Second Edition | ISBN 10: 0810871726 | 2011 | PDF | 412 pages | 3.6 MB
One of Japan's major religions, Shinto has no doctrines and there are no sacred texts from which religious authority can be derived. It does not have an identifiable historical founder, and it has survived the vicissitudes of history through rituals and symbols rather than through continuity of doctrine. Shinto is primarily a religion of nature, centered on the cultivation of rice, the basis of a culture with which the western world is not familiar in terms of either its annual cycle or the kind of lifestyle it generates.

Social Movements, Public Spheres and the European Politics of the Environment: Green Power Europe? by Hein-Anton van der Heijden
240 pages | Palgrave Macmillan | 2011 | ISBN: 0230236146 | PDF | 1.2 MB
This book examines how the European environmental movement, as part of an emerging European civil society, has impinged on the problem definitions and solution strategies in the European politics of the environment. Examining core case studies in European environmental policy - biodiversity politics (Natura 2000), the politics of genetically modified organisms, Trans-European Transport Networks, and the European politics of climate change - this study, written at the crossroads of social movement, public sphere and political discourse theory, argues that a social movement's most important feature is its 'cognitive praxis', its ability to successfully challenge dominant conceptions of realty and to create new green public spheres.
Mechanics plays a fundamental role in aeolian processes and other environmental studies. This proposed book systematically presents the new progress in the research of aeolian processes, especially in the research on mechanism, theoretical modelling and computational simulation of aeolian processes from the viewpoint of mechanics. Nowadays, environmental and aeolian process related problems are attracting more and more attention. We hope this proposed book will provide scientists and graduate students in aeolian research and other environmental research some mechanical methods and principles and introduce aeolian related problems of environment to mathematical and mechanical scientists.
