Moreover, plenty of opportunity exists for established tradespeople to start their own business, but they have no guidance. The At Your Best Playbooks series changes that.

Providing both a compendium of reusable and adaptable code, and opportunities for deepening your understanding and growing as a SAS programmer, this pragmatic, example-driven reference offers nearly 400 ready-to-use macros, macro functions, and macro tools that enable you to convert SAS code to macros, define macro variables, and more. --

The third Canadian Edition of Vogt/Nauth’s Carpentry is the market-leading Carpentry text in Canada, designed for community college students enrolled in Apprenticeship and Diploma programs.

This engaging resource prepares apprentices for their future careers like nothing else on the market.

My hope when I first began putting this project together was to show people the path I took to find the key to living a simple and harmonious life. I believe that most of us spend our entire existence putting too much value into vain things like object possessions and who we are in connection to the world we live in, failing to realize that all this comes directly from our ego, which is part of our mind's negative operation process that holds us hostage. This part of the mind is, without a doubt, behind all of mankind's suffering and affliction. It is the part of our subconscious mind that wants to make our attachment to all that glitters more addicting so it can constantly subject us to its false reality. But what we have to remember is that during his short time on earth, Jesus taught about how to become more connected to our true spiritual self. And he did so by telling us to let go and let God be our source of wisdom and understanding. That is why I chose the title of this book The Carpenter's Path. Learning the secret to taking on this part of our nature is our only salvation for the future. So I am inviting you to join me on this journey of mine--a pilgrimage of seeking the truth to who you really are.

Introduction by Richard Carpenter The definitive biography of one of the most enduring and endeared recording artists in history—the Carpenters—is told for the first time from the perspective of Richard Carpenter, through more than 100 hours of exclusive interviews and some 200 photographs from Richard's personal archive, many never published. After becoming multimillion-selling, Grammy-winning superstars with their 1970 breakthrough hit "(They Long to Be) Close to You," Richard and Karen Carpenter would win over millions of fans worldwide with a record-breaking string of hits including "We've Only Just Begun," "Top of the World," and "Yesterday Once More." By 1975, success was taking its toll. Years of jam-packed work schedules, including hundreds of concert engagements, proved to be just too much for the Carpenters to keep the hits coming—and, ultimately, to keep the music playing at all. However, Richard and Karen never took their adoring public, or each other, for granted. In Carpenters: The Musical Legacy, Richard Carpenter tells his story for the first time. With candor, heart, and humor, he sheds new light on the Carpenters' trials and triumphs—work that remains the gold standard for melodic pop. This beautifully illustrated definitive biography, with exclusive interviews and never-before-seen photographs, is a must-have for any Carpenters fan.
