Keskiaikainen Rauman kaupunki tunnetaan parhaiten pitsistä, merellisestä historiasta sekä värikkäiden puutalojen ja kurvikkaiden mukulakivikatujen Vanhasta Raumasta. Vähemmän tunnettuja ovat sen karmivat salaisuudet, jotka kietoutuvat toisiinsa kuin kaunein raumanpitsi. Aaveiden Rauma ei odota yötä. Keskellä päivää näkymättömät asiakkaat askeltavat asuste- ja askartelukaupoissa, taidemuseon taulut kallistuvat itsellään, entisajan avaimet kalisevat vanhalla ruttohautausmaalla, hyytävät hahmot vartioivat kaupungin kiinteistöjä ja kirkonkellot soivat vailla syytä. Raumalaisten aavetarinoiden matkassa kuljetaan vanhankaupungin kaduilta sotavuosista selvinneisiin tehdasrakennuksiin ja aina rauhattomalle maaseudulle asti. Uskallatko liittyä seuraan? Toinen, uudistettu painos. Toinen täydennetty painos.

You may have heard of the city of Rauma, well-known for its lace, maritime history and UNESCO-listed old town. Situated on the picturesque southwest coast of Finland, its medieval quarter contains colourful wooden buildings and cobblestoned streets. It's an idyllic place. Less known are the mysterious secrets hidden within its walls. Since becoming a city in 1442, many dramatic events have occurred in Rauma. These have included: devastating fires, deadly diseases and violent murders. No wonder some of its former residents haven't yet found peace. In Rauma, you will find haunted houses, bone-chilling boutiques and macabre museums. Its resident spirits can also appear at any time of the day or night, so eyes and ears should be kept open. Who knows what might be around the next corner? Welcome to Rauma - a city of lace and ghosts!

Using the Method described in this book will greatly improve your effectiveness and efficiency and enable you to more easily prioritise the tasks on your "to do list."

A book written by someone with over 30 years of planning, preparing and delivering presentations to audiences of up to 1,000 people. He has trained hundreds of people to use the Method contained within the book which describes how to structure, plan and deliver presentations which are effective.

This book was written as an Undergraduate Thesis in 1973. It covers the History of the Atmospheric Engine from Captain Savery's Steam Engine in 1698, Thomas Newcomen's Steam Engine from 1706 onwards and the growth of Newcomen's Engines in Tyneside from 1715 to 1785. It also covers the Cornish Engines and John Smeaton's Logical Improvement Technique about 1750. There is a web-site for readers to get further information at www.newcomen1973.wordpress.com

A Consultant Psychiatrist has described this book as "special" and "really helpful." The Second Edition of this acclaimed book is written by a sufferer with depression and is aimed at other sufferers and their family and friends to help them analyse and deal with their feelings. The average of the hundreds of reviews for the First Edition was over 9 out of 10. By using the method explained in the book sufferers have said they have been able for the first time to self analyse how they feel and talk to those around them. Family and friends have said that for the first time they can begin to understand depression and help the sufferer they know and love in a much more effective way. This book could really make a difference!

A book based on 5 Modules and Assignments with links to web based spreadsheets to help you make your Business Plans both realistic and effective. Thousands of businesses who have used the approach taken in this book have improved their profitability beyond their expectations

Combining a concrete perspective with an exploration-based approach, Exploratory Galois Theory develops Galois theory at an entirely undergraduate level. The text grounds the presentation in the concept of algebraic numbers with complex approximations and assumes of its readers only a first course in abstract algebra. The author organizes the theory around natural questions about algebraic numbers, and exercises with hints and proof sketches encourage students' participation in the development. For readers with Maple or Mathematica, the text introduces tools for hands-on experimentation with finite extensions of the rational numbers, enabling a familiarity never before available to students of the subject. Exploratory Galois Theory includes classical applications, from ruler-and-compass constructions to solvability by radicals, and also outlines the generalization from subfields of the complex numbers to arbitrary fields. The text is appropriate for traditional lecture courses, for seminars, or for self-paced independent study by undergraduates and graduate students.
