With the passing of acclaimed artist Michael Paul Smith comes a final printing - each book numbered in tribute. Smith's Elgin Park is a lot of things: a mid-century utopia, a fantastical world, and an optical illusion. This imaginative town was composed entirely of miniatures, delighting audiences worldwide when his photo series went viral, attracting more than 90 million views on Flickr.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

This book describes the new generation of discrete choice methods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logit, generalized extreme value, or GEV (including nested and cross-nested logits), probit, and mixed logit, plus a variety of specifications that build on these basics. Simulation-assisted estimation procedures are investigated and compared, including maximum stimulated likelihood, method of simulated moments, and method of simulated scores. Procedures for drawing from densities are described, including variance reduction techniques such as anithetics and Halton draws. Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs sampling. The second edition adds chapters on endogeneity and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. No other book incorporates all these fields, which have arisen in the past 25 years. The procedures are applicable in many fields, including energy, transportation, environmental studies, health, labor, and marketing.
This highly illustrated book explains the business of logging railroads and provides examples of prototype operations. Photos of locomotives, equipment, and structures set the stage for modeling logging scenes and designing a logging layout.
In July 1939, the humble beginnings of what was originally Toys and Houseware, were based in a pair of below street-level lock-up garages one capable of garaging two single-decker buses side by side, beneath the forecourt of "The Bridge Garage" in Green Lanes, Palmers Green, north London. Within a year the original company, registered a change of name to Die Casting Machine Tools Ltd. The founder of what was often referred to as DCMT was Aubrey Robert "Bob" Mills who, with a partner, Sidney James "Sid" Ambridge designed, built and sold uncomplicated die-casting machines which used molten zinc alloy to produced castings from a die. The die comprised two mild-steel squared halves set up above a cast iron base at about waist level and was operated by the application of manual pressure. Two levers - one of which closed and opened the two halves of a die; one half being movable on stout rods and the other half securely fixed to the machine and the molten metal receptacle. A second lever was used to push down a supply of molten zinc-alloy (Mazak), through the feeder channel (or sprue) to completely fill the cavities of the casting within the two parts of the die, after which the first lever would be drawn back towards the die-caster thus opening the die and the casting would then be ejected into a bin. During WW2 DCMT produced castings for hand grenades and, its believed, aircraft components. The use of mazak for anything other than the War effort, was forbidden - so the manufacture of metal toys was a non-starter at that time but, nonetheless, some tentative experiments produced a few models in coloured plastic. In 1945, the ban on making metal toys was lifted and DCMT built dies to the order of "The Crescent Toy Co. Ltd.", a potential rival company, then, also in north London. Two different Car and two different Lorry moulds were somehow acquired, or built, by DCMT based upon "Tootsietoy" (U.S.A.) originals to quickly get some wheeled models out and on the shelves of toy/model stores in order to meet the demand for such objects that hadnt been obtainable for six years. In 1949, DCMT parted company with "Crescent Toy" and began to market toys and a range of tools under the uninspiring initials "D.C.M.T." and later "Slikka Toys" and "Slikka Tools". Regrettably, these brand-names didnt catch the public imagination, and so a more suitable name needed to be found. In 1949, they produced their first Western-type cowboy cap pistol called the "Lone Star" which bore "Slikka Toy" markings. The name "Lone Star" had a Western flavour about it with connotations of Texas. In 1951, the first written evidence of the use of the name "Lone Star" was discovered in a DCMT advert which offered a range of juvenile Western-style clothes, hat and accessories, i.e. Sheriff Badge, "Range Rider" Mk.1. cap-pistol (with dummy bullets) and holster set, a sheath knife, "Range Rider" Spurs and a Woggle for a Neckerchief.
