Book Description
While in the throws of mourning the death of her elderly father, joining her brother's winter trek into the deep woods of Maine was the only thing that seemed to make sense. Together, brother and sister head up the tallest mountain in Maine, at the end of the Appalachian Trail, to "say hi to Dad" above the clouds. Drawing on memories of a father's teachings and on the power of a loving family, they set upon trails known for centuries to be sacred in search of both adventure and solace. In this outdoor adventure memoir, their memorial trek leads them across one of the most harrowing trails in the winter - Knife Edge Trail. "I love this story. It is the love of a father by his children. It made me weepy with joy. It is a love story told through accomplishments of each sibling. It tells of a father and a life well spent. There is so much more here. Maybe a movie script or documentary. It needs to be shared."Brian W Bickford, MBA & MS ITTravel Editor - Maine World ExpeditionAuthor - The Secret To Perfect Innovation

Balances
Author: Erich Robens
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642364470
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 743
Book Description
The book deals mainly with direct mass determination by means of a conventional balances. It covers the history of the balance from the beginnings in Egypt earlier than 3000 BC to recent developments. All balance types are described with emphasis on scientific balances. Methods of indirect mass determination, which are applied to very light objects like molecules and the basic particles of matter and celestial bodies, are included. As additional guidance, today’s manufacturers are listed and the profile of important companies is reviewed. Several hundred photographs, reproductions and drawings show instruments and their uses. This book includes commercial weighing instruments for merchandise and raw materials in workshops as well as symbolic weighing in the ancient Egyptian’s ceremony of ‘Weighing of the Heart’, the Greek fate balance, the Roman Justitia, Juno Moneta and Middle Ages scenes of the Last Judgement with Jesus or St. Michael and of modern balances. The photographs are selected from the slide-archives of the late Richard Vieweg (1896-1972) (former President of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany), of the late Hans R. Jenemann (1920-1966) (former head of the Analytical Laboratory of Schott & Gen., Mainz, Germany) and of his wife Irene (1933-2008) and of Erich Robens.
