Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is surely one of the best available for its purpose, that is, to give an introduction to the refrigeration and air conditioning technology, and also to teach how to install, service, and maintain all the hardware associated with this.
The text is very well writen, in a very clever language. Graphics are very good, and very helpful to the understanding of topics. Sections dedicated to the electrical and electronic sub-systems were a surprise: they are also very clear, and are very helpful even for experienced technicians. There are even sections dedicated to airflow at conditioned spaces, a matter that isn't very well undestood by technicians.
I strongly suggest this book to the people that wants to start working in this technical area, and also to that who already work with it. Very useful to the begginer and to the experienced technician as well.

Institutions of academia are experiencing a schism when it comes to adult learners—some recognize and foster the dynamism of this student population while others harbor animosity and frenetic attitudes toward adult learners. There is a compelling need to find benchmarks against which to compare and improve programs, while still maintaining the fast-paced competition for adult learners. This book identifies the best practices necessary to bring adult learning programs to a new level—especially as the stakes among competitors continue to rise.
Best Practices in Adult Learning sets the stage by addressing institutional vision, asking the question "What do I want my program to contain or deliver?" It then provides a hands-on set of applications that are designed to strengthen daily practices, while underscoring the importance of faculty development to maintaining the health and vitality of successful adult programs. Next it presents straightforward, diverse, and immediate technological applications for adult learning programs, and finally it gives special attention to the increasing importance of senior learners—the fastest growing demographic in America today.
This book is written for faculty and administrators already committed to adult learners but looking for that focused, hands-on guidance and applications for implementing principles of best practices in an adult learner–focused unit or institution. Rather than a cookie-cutter approach, these are the lessons learned over time from some of the most experienced practitioners in the field.

Beginning Electronics Through Projects Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When you cut right down to it this book is just a 120 page commercial for the SINGMIN PCB. Andrew Singmin uses this book to continuously tell the reader that they'll have more success with electronics if they buy his PCB. The theory included in the book is non-existant, and the projects are simply a step by step guide of what to solder pin x of a 555 IC to. There is no discusion as to why. If you buy this book and build the projects, you will not have gained anything useful.
