High Steel The Daring Men Who Built The World's Greatest Skyline 1881 To The Present
Step out onto a narrow steel beam 800 feet in the air and join the rarest breed of worker you'll ever meet. From the violence-prone, half-mad 'roughnecks' that built America's first steel bridges and buildings -- often dying in the process -- to the roaming Mohawks and 'boomers' raising its skyscrapers today, they are the rogues and heroes, the anything-but-average Average Joes of High Steel. For anyone who ever wondered about the origins of America's steel icons -- its suspension bridges, its skyscrapers -- here's the untold story of the men who risked their lives to build them. Rich in history and personality, soaring from stunning tragedy to monumental achievement, High Steel is the most original and significant account of workers in America since Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed. This is nonfiction that will make your heart beat a little faster, and show you the world from a place you've never been. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461504173

Redcoat
It is autumn 1777, and the cradle of liberty, Philadelphia, has fallen to the British. Yet the true battle has only just begun. On both sides, loyalties are tested and families torn asunder.

And for the men and women of the prosperous Becket family, the Revolution brings bitter conflict between those loyal to the crown and those with dreams of liberty. Soon, across the fields of ice and blood in a place called Valley Forge, history will be rewritten, changing the lives and fortunes of these men and women forever. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461504397

Creating Location Services for the Wireless Web Professional Developer's Guide
Creating Location Services for the Wireless Web Professional Developer’s Guide Location services are emerging as one of the most important and anticipated tools of the new wireless Web. For instance, these services enable you to instantly get a map of where you are using your handheld device. Or, by pressing one key, you can retrieve the yellow pages for your location. But there is an entire system behind the convenience that delivers a user’s location to the Web server. In this book, noted author Johan Hjelm covers the all-important standards that will enable location application development, and describes the architecture and operation of those services. Concentrating on the convergence between GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and positioning in the mobile network, the book also talks about the GIS (Geographical Information Services) standards and how to build a Web site that uses them. Introducing wireless developers to these new standards and tools, this reader-friendly book delivers: *A content and software developer’s guide *Case studies from research projects *User interface design guidelines *A look at how location standards can help locate people who dial 911 *Appendices that discuss XML, WAP 2.0, and CC/PP *Examples from existing systems The CD-ROM contains trial versions for several useful tools for developing location-dependent applications services, as well as specifications for the GIS standards from the Open GIS Consortium. Professional Developer’s Guides The Professional Developer’s Guide series provides the first in-depth look at recent or emerging programming technologies. Experienced programmers and developers will find comprehensive coverage of new programming standards as well as code, sample programs, developer’s tools, and applications that will make programming for a new technology much easier.
