These twenty-five short essays demonstrate the beauty of style, the wit, and the sensibility for which Woolf is admired. "This book contains...the same delicious things to read as always....Virginia Woolf was a great artist, one of the glories of our time, and she never published a line that was not worth reading" (Katherine Anne Porter). Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

"Raw. Honest. Truly captivating. Seemingly ordinary people, share an extraordinary journey in Cochrane's seek and rescue mission where she finds a clearer understanding of self, others and circumstance. She shares this story with transparency while wrapped in humor and insightful intensity with her honest discoveries of who she is, and in some ways who we all are." Karen Callan - Author of Just In Time In her 30s, Judy Cochrane had by most standards realized the American Dream. In 2000, her husband Bill's start-up company sold for 90 million. Their college romance and tireless work ethic built a bright future for their family, as well as a portfolio of 35 million. But just as the stars aligned for the 90 million sale of their company, they also fell apart; from living in a gated home perched on a mountaintop in Tucson, Arizona to life in a beat-up rental, without job security and on food stamps. With pressure at every turn: 3 young kids, a failing economy, health concerns, a troubled marriage, and the loss of everything the family had built, time alone and getting grounded, seemed impossible. With what little faith she could muster, she sought for a miracle. It came in the form of an 11- day housesitting opportunity in Santa Barbara, California. During Cochrane's quest, her spiritual guides and new friends included: a surfer-musician, a dying writing professor, an Episcopal minister, a gifted intuitive healer, a pair of tattoo artists, a septuagenarian yoga practitioner, a homeless preacher, a foul-mouthed auto mechanic, two dogs and a cat and the Pacific Ocean. Since starting 11 DAYS, she's passionately and gratefully inspired to write more works. These are coming soon: included are excerpts for J.C. Cochrane's next books: CARRY ON - the secret language, lessons and heart wrenching love a family experiences when a child endures addiction. (copyright 2015) YOU CRACK ME UP - from broken bones to broken homes and monsters, bullies & stuff. One of 11 books in the children's series -- OAKIE DOAKIE (copyright 2015) Judy Cochrane lives in Tucson, Arizona and Dallas, Texas with her husband, Bill, and off and on, with her three college-aged children. She often drops everything to get to the beach.

This manual provides direction for the preparation of noise and vibration sections of environmental documents for mass transportation projects.

Consequently, this manual has been prepared to serve readers with varying levels of technical background and interests. It sets forth the basic concepts, methods and procedures for documenting the extent and severity of noise impacts from transit projects.
