Societal Organization and Globalization in Anthropology
Anthropology introduces students to the four fields of anthropology. It integrates historical, biological, archaeological, and global approaches with ethnographic data available from around the world. Additionally, information is drawn from both classic and recent research in the field and reflects the current state-of-the-art understanding of social and cultural changes.
Using an applied perspective, Anthropology demonstrates how anthropologists use research techniques and methods to help solve practical problems, thus showing students how anthropology is relevant to improving human societies.

Today, distillation is by far the most common separation technique used in the chemical and petroleum industries. Distillation Control approaches this subject from a process engineering perspective to explain the use of steady-state simulations to develop, to analyze, and to troubleshoot all aspects of column controls, including their practical application and cost benefits. Practicing engineers and other professionals working in process facilities that use distillation to separate materials will find this book a reliable companion.

You may have perfect mastery of all Photoshop’s tools and filters, but unless you get the perspective right, your montages will always look a little off. In this engaging workshop, author and expert Steve Caplin teaches you how to work with horizons, vanishing lines, and Photoshop?s extraordinary Vanishing Point filter.

Imagine a beautiful castle with enormous spires, an underground super villain’s lair, or dark and grimy factory filled with ludicrous machinery. How do you take an idea for an environment and turn it into a drawing? This workshop will give the beginning designer the foundation needed to design environments and backgrounds.
Additionally, this workshop will be an introduction to background design techniques that will take you from the basics of perspective, sketching, composition to more advanced techniques using software such as Google Sketchup and Photoshop.
