Book Description
Moms, how many of us love creating a shiny, glittery wallpaper world of the girl we wish we were? And when we can’t attain those things, we can at least give ourselves points for liking them, and for recognizing goodness when we see it. If this life stage doesn’t allow us the resources to make a wall hanging from a broken window pane, or to make our own coffee creamers, or to be the envy of the baking moms with our whimsical birthday cupcakes, well then, we tell ourselves, at least someone can imagine that we dream of such things… If you are a woman and mother trying your best to just to keep up with your kids, much less the Joneses, you’ll appreciate Tricia Lott Williford’s take on the struggle to shine and just be yourself amidst the glitz and glamour of Pinterest-inspired homemaking and the competitive world of family fables shared on Facebook.

Book Description
“Jewelry isn’t ordinarily a tool of political persuasion, but in this beautiful book, Madeleine Albright, American ambassador to the United Nations and then the nation’s first female secretary of state, tells the compelling story of how these small objects became part of her ‘personal diplomatic arsenal.’” — The Chicago Tribune From New York Times bestselling author and former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, Read My Pins is a story and celebration of how one woman’s jewelry collection was used to make diplomatic history. Part illustrated memoir, part social history, Read My Pins provides an intimate look at Albright's life through the brooches she wore. Her collection is both international and democratic—dime-store pins share pride of place with designer creations and family heirlooms. Included are the antique eagle purchased to celebrate Albright's appointment as secretary of state, the zebra pin she wore when meeting Nelson Mandela, and the Valentine's Day heart forged by Albright's five-year-old daughter. Read My Pins features more than 200 photographs, along with compelling and often humorous stories about jewelry, global politics, and the life of one of America's most accomplished and fascinating diplomats.

Book Description
This book contains the papers from the Proceedings of the 1st international joint symposium on joining and welding held at Osaka University, Japan, 6-8 November 2013. The use of frictional heating to process and join materials has been used for many decades. Rotary and linear friction welding are vital techniques for many industrial sectors. More recently the development of friction stir welding (FSW) has significantly extended the application of friction processing. This conference is the first event organized by the three major institutes for joining and welding to focus on the broad range of friction processes. This symposium will provide the latest valuable information from academic and industrial experts from around the world on FSW, FSP, linear and rotary friction welding.
