The term "swinging" calls to mind a bygone era of 1970s sexual liberation--images of shag carpet, hot tubs and married couples swapping motel keys. The Internet age has made swinging widely accessible and discreet to a broad range of participants, married or single, and of any sexual orientation.Some people pursue the excitement of spontaneous, noncommittal sex with strangers, while others seek a certain intimate connection they find unattainable by conventional dating or romantic ...

The greatest sculptor of the Italian Renaissance, Donatello produced both marble and bronze masterpieces. His revolutionary statues were lauded for their incredible realism, while he also developed his very own form of shallow bas-relief, known as ‘schiacciato’. Donatello possessed an extensive knowledge of ancient sculpture, which he developed into his own innovative, modern style, having a lasting impression on the history of Western art. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents t...

Man Enough For Myself: Because I Still Want To Be Seen is a memoir told through poetry.Donatello Dreakford presents a collection that explores memory in fragments, the way it arrives in real life: jagged, unsteady, insistent. These poems move through the families we are born into and the ones we choose for ourselves, through queer friendships, love and loss, silence and recognition.With language that is both direct and lyrical, this debut ...

This book presents a new and direct computational method for transient heat transfer. The approach uses the well-known dimensionless Biot number and a second dimensionless number introduced by the author. The methodology allows for a transient heat transfer calculations without using finite difference programs. The book presents many examples and various tables demonstrating the potential of this new methodology. Many diagrams illustrate the physical phenomena.

This book is a generalist textbook; it is designed for anybody interested in heat transmission, including scholars, designers and students.Two criteria constitute the foundation of Annaratone’s books, including the present one.The first one consists of indispensable scientific rigor without theoretical exasperation.The inclusion in the book of some theoretical studies, even if admirable for their scientific rigor, would have strengthened the scientific foundation of...

This is the sixth edition of a popular textbook on multivariate analysis. Well-regarded for its practical and accessible approach, with excellent examples and good guidance on computing, the book is particularly popular for teaching outside statistics, i.e. in epidemiology, social science, business, etc. The sixth edition has been updated with a new chapter on data visualization, a distinction made between exploratory and confirmatory analyses and a new section on generalized estimating eq...

You've tried so many diet without any results? You get results but you gained weight back faster than you lose it? Which diet is real and which diet is fad diet?
