Elen McNally is arrogant, intelligent and gorgeous. She’s also desperate for a ticket out of Aroostook County, Maine. Signing on for a hitch in the Army, she quickly discovers that life for a woman in the military can be brutal. At first believing that relationships with men will ease her path, a violent confrontation leads to the surprising, welcome discovery that other women can be friends…and more. Transformed by living inside and outside the rigid requirements of Army life, Elen finds that while she cannot speak of her love for women, it is a thin fire running through her heart and her life. Returning home to the peace and beauty of the Maine woods, there is another mystery to discover: that the complement of loving is being loved. Unforgettable women populate this vivid, provocative and sexy book from the author of The Grass Widow. Originally published in 1993 by MadWoman Press.
This book is an authoritative account of the latest developments in fire performance and fire resistant design of thin-walled steel structures. It provides a comprehensive review of recent research, including fire tests of thin-walled steel structural members and systems, numerical modelling of heat transfer and structural behaviour, elevated temperature material properties, methods of improving fire resistance of thin-walled steel structures, and performance based fire resistant design methods. Worked examples navigate the reader through some of the complexities of this specialist subject. This is the first book devoted to the fundamental principles of this emerging subject, as thin-walled steel structures are increasingly being used in building construction. It will be valuable to fire protection engineers who want to optimise fire resistant design of thin-walled steel structures, and specialist manufacturers needing to control fire resistance of thin-walled steel structural systems, as well as to the research community.
