Mathematics & Statistics (Biology, Psychology & Chemistry)
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326606786
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
'Mathematics and Statistics in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry' comes as the third in the series, following in the footsteps of 'Easy as You Go!" and 'A-Star Question Bank. It fills the vacuum which exists, being caused by the apparent difficulty in professional Biologist, Psychologist and Chemist to effectively teach the necessary Mathematics for their students to pass examinations. Much of the mathematics and statistics for students' studies is admittedly complex, and often it is laid out in course books in a confusing manner. With the exception of Physicists, scientists can be excused in not being as effective as their counterparts in the Mathematics arena. Considerable effort has therefore been exercised in an attempt to address this situation. In Biology and Psychology sections, tables have been used to simplify many of the otherwise daunting procedures. In Chemistry a 'step-by-step' approach as been adopted.

Tall Grows the Grass
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326005499
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
This version contains numerous photographs for an enhanced reader experience. Johnny Duggan was born around the outbreak of World War II. Johnny's story follows his trials and tribulations, his loves and assignations, and his challenges and conflicts, as he moves through the long grass of life from one job to another, through one country to another. He is forced to change his outlook to life many times through his experiences in Africa, Europe, and the USA, as well as the variety of people with whom he comes into contact. In many places, the story is very confrontational and hard hitting, and takes no prisoners. It is not a story for the daunted, nor those who are not prepared to accept the stark, bare, exposed realities of life.

Hell Bank Notes

Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The notes exhibited in this catalogue are Hell 'Bank' Notes. In fact, they are what is called 'faux' money and as such are certainly not justifiable bank notes. They are used in China and many countries in Eat Asia specifically to burn as offerings to the spirits of departed loved ones in the belief that such money can be drawn from the Bank of Hell and used in Paradise. In this context, Hell and Heaven are synonymous with one another. They are an interesting example of 'Exonumia', or paper that does not belong in any way to the realm of strict bank-note collecting.

The Indian Hundi
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326870777
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Hundis refer to financial instruments which evolved on the Indian sub-continent and appear to have been in use there from at least the sixteenth century. They were used in trade and credit transactions and, as such, were used as remittance instruments for the purpose of transfer of funds from one place to another. In the days of the Princely States and the British Raj these hundis served as Travellers Cheques. What makes hundis so interesting is the sheer variety of them and the uses to which they were put. As a safety precaution, moreover, they were usually written in an elaborate script which only bankers knew how to read and write. They are still used in India today, even though the resources of modern banking are available for most commercial transactions.

Romancing the Wood

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
The first US Wooden Nickel 'Flat' was issued in Tenino as a result of the Great Depression in 1931. The issue of such an instrument to cope with the shortage of money at the time proved such a success that other communities quickly followed suit. It was not long before communities were issuing Wooden Nickel 'Flats' to commemorate land-marks in their history. This book looks at just a mere sampling of these interesting bits of Americana and what prompted their issue as commemorative pieces.

Mathematics by Steps (Angles to Vectors)
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244658366
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Pick up any mathematics book and take an objective look at the contents of any one topic. The chances are that the writer falsely believes that prior essential knowledge has already been gained as a precursor to addressing the topic. In truth, the student may have indeed gained some insight to essential knowledge, but this is never made completely clear at the outset and consequently the student is, more often than not, left to look for such relevant associations as best they can. Assumed prior knowledge is often essential, but all too often not made clear, thus resulting in predictable disastrous effects and yet another generation that can sadly boast 'I was never good at mathematics when I was at school'. This book helps to address this problem.

Atoms and Fundamental Particles
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244668388
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This book represents a 'snapshot' in time. Tomorrow we will discover something new about the humble atom which may modify or even radically change the paradigms we have held so sacrosanct until then. It is hoped, though, that it will present sufficient ground-work as to provide a spring-board to students in their quest for a greater understanding of the atom and of its fundamental particles. It is also hoped that a more profound understanding of the nature of life may also be gained as well as raise begging questions which have not here-to-for been entertained. It is intended to cover much of the syllabus for A-Level and High School studies. Because of the simple language, tables and diagrams however, the subject matter will be easily absorbed by, and be of great interest to, the comparative lay persons among us.

Applications of Genetics
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244976899
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
In the comparatively short time since 1953 there have been ground-breaking discoveries that have changed the way we look at ourselves, and have been instrumental in addressing many of the problems associated with 'genetic diseases' in general. A new vocabulary has evolved in the light of these discoveries. Intron, exon, prion, hox, codon, polymerase, epistasis, gyandromorph, telomere, Morgellon's, BRCA and many others have crept into the vocabulary and are being used more and more. The study of Genetics can be very daunting for a student embarking on the adventure for the very first time. This book is intended, initially, to cover much of the syllabus for A-Level and High School studies, but because of the simple language, tables and graphics, however, the subject matter will be easily absorbed by, and be of great interest to, the comparative lay persons among us.

Greenhouse Effect
Author: James F Frayne
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244158517
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Today most people, with some notable exceptions, would agree that humans have been responsible in changing the Earth's atmosphere in dramatic ways over the last two centuries and thus causing 'global warming'. Were we to agree, or doggedly 'stick our heads in the sand' and flatly disagree, that the Earth is experiencing a phase of global warming, we all have to accept that very strange things have happened in recent years. Precipitation in excesses has caused flooding of large areas throughout the world. We have seen unprecedented high temperatures causing droughts and unimaginable forest fires whilst, on the other hand, we have been witness to severe drops in temperature. Still, there are those people who insist that there are not such things as the Greenhouse Effect or Global Warming. Perhaps such people are simply misinformed. This book is intended to help us all understand these phenomena better, and to help extract the sadly misinformed from their places in the sand.
