Diseases of the kidney are in the top ten causes of death in the United States. Difficulties from renal failure can severely affect the embalming process and an unacceptable outcome may result. This failure may cause emotional harm to grieving families. After graduation from an accredited funeral service education program, very few resources exist for continuing education in the embalming of kidney disease/renal failure cases. This book breaks that silence. Kidney disease, renal failure, and dialysis are explored in the early chapters of the text. After understanding the disease, examinations are made of existing standards of care for embalming renal failure cases. Finally, suggested protocols are outlined and expert embalmers from around the United States offer personal suggestions for successful embalming of renal failure cases. This is a useful guide for all levels of embalmers.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a vital part of the world's infrastructure and are a fundamental component in the ongoing development that powers our future transportation needs.

Limited resources and environmental pollution mean that an alternative to traditional petrol- and diesel-powered internal combustion engines is necessary to maintain and propel a sustainable society that continues to thrive.

Regardless of fuel, it is electricity that has an elemental energy which produces no toxic pollutants at point of use.

Electricity can be generated from multiple sources, many of which can be considered environmentally friendly, making it a logical choice to charge our energy needs.

In our interconnected modern lives, electricity is indispensable, powering everything from our homes to our gadgets. Yet even though the first cars developed used electricity for their source of propulsion, internal combustion engines dominated the automotive landscape due to their seemingly inexhaustible and harmless hydrocarbon fuel.

As the world developed, it became increasingly clear that our reliance upon petrol and diesel was misguided.

We are perfectly happy with using electricity for nearly all of our daily energy needs, but many still struggle with the concept of using it for transportation due to the abundance of the internal combustion engine.

The inevitable rise in electrically powered vehicles means that we all need to learn about this new (yet old) technology if we are to integrate it into our everyday lives.

Often, the unknown poses the greatest barrier to a change in habits, leading to mental roadblocks that hinder progress.

We often know more than we give ourselves credit for, but it takes a spark of inspiration for this to be realised.

This book is designed to support knowledge relating to the technology employed in the operation and use of electric vehicles; helping technicians, engineers, first responders and vehicle operators understand how they work.

This book seeks to bridge the gap between traditional propulsion methods and electric vehicles. It explores why alternative propulsion and electric vehicles are needed and the problems caused by continued fossil fuel usage. It provides a background on electrical fundamentals related to the operation and maintenance of electric vehicles.

It outlines some organisational requirements, such as resources, tooling, and equipment needed for maintaining and repairing electric vehicles in workshops.

It also introduces the components of electric vehicle drive and operating systems, as well as the maintenance, repair, and diagnosis of these systems.

The author's purpose for writing this book is to bring confidence to those who are in the cleaning services. It is the How To's in cleaning. This is a guide in being effective in cleaning. It confirms the uses of a task list and scope of work when performing cleaning services. It brings clarity and the ways of labeling chemical bottles and the use of colored cleaning rags for restrooms, kitchens, and offices and changing your gloves after they are torn and after cleaning restroom and moving forward, applying the methods of cleaning tables and counter tops, bottle chair legs, baseboards, changing rags before moving toward to other areas (change rags as you clean low areas and change rags to clean high areas), and when cleaning floors, carpets, and windows. The author provides step-by-step methods to assure the high quality of work to be taken. Lastly, with almost thirty years of experience, the author has taken the time and efforts in the detailed preparation of this manual in the hope that it will assist anyone. It is not to overshadow other businesses or a company's scope of work but to enhance those who are interested in being successful in cleaning.

Founded in 1883, the Chicago Manual Training School (CMTS) was a short-lived but influential institution dedicated to teaching a balanced combination of practical and academic skills. Connie Goddard uses the CMTS as a door into America's early era of industrial education and the transformative idea of learning to do.

Rooting her account in John Dewey's ideas, Goddard moves from early nineteenth century supporters of the union of learning and labor to the interconnected histories of CMTS, New Jersey's Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, North Dakota's Normal and Industrial School, and related programs elsewhere. Goddard analyzes the work of movement figures like abolitionist Theodore Weld, educators Calvin Woodward and Booker T. Washington, social critic W.E.B. Du Bois, Dewey himself, and his influential Chicago colleague Ella Flagg Young. The book contrasts ideas about manual training held by advocate Nicholas Murray Butler with those of opponent William Torrey Harris and considers overlooked connections between industrial education and the Arts and Crafts Movement.

An absorbing merger of history and storytelling, Learning for Work looks at the people who shaped industrial education while offering a provocative vision of realizing its potential today.
