B. C. Electrical Code Simplified
Author: P.S. Knight Company, Limited
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780920312438
Category : Electric wiring
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
This book will be based on the latest edition of the Canadian Electrical Code and the British Columbia Amendments and Bulletins. Straight talk on the rules. Electrical Code Simplified books were written by an electrical inspector. Reliability - Electrical Code Simplified Books have been used for more than twenty years by more than a million installers. Enjoyable - Installing electrical wiring should be easy, it should be fun, and it should be a money saving experience. Simplified Instructions - With the detailed instructions and illustrations given in this book anyone handy with tools can undertake to install part, or all the wiring, in his or her own house. Every step is clearly illustrated. Proven Instructions -With this book you will follow time proven instructions developed over many years by many electrical contractors. You will produce a professional installation that you will be proud of. Clarity - these books speak clearly to the point. The legalese used in the Code is replaced with easily understandable explanations. Safety - The Electrical Code is the minimum standard permitted for any electrical wiring installation. This Code has been developed over many years by countless professional electricians who were concerned to make house wiring safe. Code rules - Instruction books which do not reference the appropriate Code standards can be misleading and dangerous. Such instructions cannot be easily verified to insure they are in fact safe. Electrical Code Simplified books do provide such Code rule references. Every step is shown to be carefully planned and illustrated to insure your installation will be installed correctly. Coverage - This book begins with service size. This is critical in wiring a new house, and, whenever any new load is being added to an existing service. The book shows how to determine the size of service you will require for the total load. From there it deals with each step as you install the new wiring. Code rules are given so that every detail can be supported by the official safety rules. A very important feature in this book is the large number of illustrations used to clarify detail. Who needs this book - Anyone installing electrical wiring in a residence is required to know the electrical Code rules to insure a safe installation. If the installation will be inspected, (technically, all installations of any size are required to be inspected) it must pass, or the installer may be asked to pay a penalty. Often the penalty is at least three times the cost of this book. If it will not be inspected then it is critical the installer has a copy of this book. Safety, in any electrical installation, is the first point of concern. Electrical Code Simplified is the only book that can meet this tough standard. It is a fully proven product. For the Student - A typical exam, complete with answers, is located at the end of the book. The student will find this an invaluable tool to determine where more training is needed. Find the answers - The index makes it easy to find the answers to technical questions usually encountered in residential installations.

Creating a Learning Society
Author: Joseph E. Stiglitz
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231540620
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
“A superb new understanding of the dynamic economy as a learning society, one that goes well beyond the usual treatment of education, training, and R&D.”—Robert Kuttner, author of The Stakes: 2020 and the Survival of American Democracy Since its publication Creating a Learning Society has served as an effective tool for those who advocate government policies to advance science and technology. It shows persuasively how enormous increases in our standard of living have been the result of learning how to learn, and it explains how advanced and developing countries alike can model a new learning economy on this example. Creating a Learning Society: Reader’s Edition uses accessible language to focus on the work’s central message and policy prescriptions. As the book makes clear, creating a learning society requires good governmental policy in trade, industry, intellectual property, and other important areas. The text’s central thesis—that every policy affects learning—is critical for governments unaware of the innovative ways they can propel their economies forward. “Profound and dazzling. In their new book, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwald study the human wish to learn and our ability to learn and so uncover the processes that relate the institutions we devise and the accompanying processes that drive the production, dissemination, and use of knowledge . . . This is social science at its best.”—Partha Dasgupta, University of Cambridge “An impressive tour de force, from the theory of the firm all the way to long-term development, guided by the focus on knowledge and learning . . . This is an ambitious book with far-reaching policy implications.”—Giovanni Dosi, director, Institute of Economics, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna “[A] sweeping work of macroeconomic theory.”—Harvard Business Review

Beauty in the Age of Empire
Author: Raja Adal
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231549288
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
When modern primary schools were first founded in Japan and Egypt in the 1870s, they did not teach art. Yet by the middle of the twentieth century, art education was a permanent part of Japanese and Egyptian primary schooling. Both countries taught music and drawing, and wartime Japan also taught calligraphy. Why did art education become a core feature of schooling in societies as distant as Japan and Egypt, and how is aesthetics entangled with nationalism, colonialism, and empire? Beauty in the Age of Empire is a global history of aesthetic education focused on how Western practices were adopted, transformed, and repurposed in Egypt and Japan. Raja Adal uncovers the emergence of aesthetic education in modern schools and its role in making a broad spectrum of ideologies from fascism to humanism attractive. With aesthetics, educators sought to enchant children with sounds and sights, using their ears and eyes to make ideologies into objects of desire. Spanning multiple languages and continents, and engaging with the histories of nationalism, art, education, and transnational exchanges, Beauty in the Age of Empire offers a strikingly original account of the rise of aesthetics in modern schools and the modern world. It shows that, while aesthetics is important to all societies, it was all the more important for those countries on the receiving end of Western expansion, which could not claim to be wealthier or more powerful than Western empires, only more beautiful.
