Book Description
VTT is a mind-bending story within a story set in San Francisco and New Orleans in the late 1990s. In this science fiction novel you meet a reincarnated boy who remembers having been killed not so long ago, a voodoo priestess who can shoot sparks from her fingertips, a carnie magician with gold contact lenses who wants to take over the world, a deranged computer technician, a house that sounds like its having an orgasm, a headless goat, a laughing rabbit, and a snake tattoo that crawls. The antihero, Crazy Jack, at age thirty, is on a permanent LSD trip. He lives with his cat in the basement of an old Victorian. Jacks friend Charm is a tattoo artist and free spirit raised in Sebastopol. Binding everything together is a virtual technology that has gone awry. All who even touch it are held captive by it. VTT includes three love stories, two failed marriages, a murder mystery, and as many illusions, delusions, and hallucinations as could possibly fit within its covers. Its a sci-fi adventure that moves characters from one city to another, natural to supernatural, boyhood to adulthood, and mystery to enlightenment. There is something here for everyone.

International Encyclopedia of Transportation
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0081026722
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 4418
Book Description
In an increasingly globalised world, despite reductions in costs and time, transportation has become even more important as a facilitator of economic and human interaction; this is reflected in technical advances in transportation systems, increasing interest in how transportation interacts with society and the need to provide novel approaches to understanding its impacts. This has become particularly acute with the impact that Covid-19 has had on transportation across the world, at local, national and international levels. Encyclopedia of Transportation, Seven Volume Set - containing almost 600 articles - brings a cross-cutting and integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a variety of interdisciplinary fields including engineering, operations research, economics, geography and sociology in order to understand the changes taking place. Emphasising the interaction between these different aspects of research, it offers new solutions to modern-day problems related to transportation. Each of its nine sections is based around familiar themes, but brings together the views of experts from different disciplinary perspectives. Each section is edited by a subject expert who has commissioned articles from a range of authors representing different disciplines, different parts of the world and different social perspectives. The nine sections are structured around the following themes: Transport Modes; Freight Transport and Logistics; Transport Safety and Security; Transport Economics; Traffic Management; Transport Modelling and Data Management; Transport Policy and Planning; Transport Psychology; Sustainability and Health Issues in Transportation. Some articles provide a technical introduction to a topic whilst others provide a bridge between topics or a more future-oriented view of new research areas or challenges. The end result is a reference work that offers researchers and practitioners new approaches, new ways of thinking and novel solutions to problems. All-encompassing and expertly authored, this outstanding reference work will be essential reading for all students and researchers interested in transportation and its global impact in what is a very uncertain world. Provides a forward looking and integrated approach to transportation Updated with future technological impacts, such as self-driving vehicles, cyber-physical systems and big data analytics Includes comprehensive coverage Presents a worldwide approach, including sets of comparative studies and applications

Managing Intellectual Capital in Practice
Author: Göran Roos
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136383808
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
This book is the essential guide for managers wishing to implement the benefits of Intellectual Capital thinking in their companies or divisions. It serves as an easily accessible introduction to the subject area for the novice, giving the gist of what it is about and how it has developed, but above all it gives hands-on instructions on how to incorporate intellectual capital thinking in everyday business and how to use the tools provided for the management and measurement of intangible resources. Throughout the main part of the book, three different cases in separate boxes run in parallel with the body text. These are introduced in chapter 2 and illustrate how the tools are to be used, depending on what type of company wishes to implement these ideas. The three case companies are characterised as a manufacturing company, an R&D organisation and a network company. Smaller case stories about well-known global companies are also interspersed throughout the book.
