Building Construction The Firefighter's Battlespace

Building Construction The Firefighter's Battlespace
Vincent Dunn, "Building Construction: The Firefighter's Battlespace"
English | 2022 | ASIN: B09RNDGLXR, B09XDK5GST | EPUB | pages: 801 | 15.3 mb
Chief Dunn declares that firefighting is a war and that buildings are the firefighter's battlespace. A battlespace is the total fire environment. It is both the inside and the outside and inside of the fire building. A battlespace is not just the room and the seat of the fire, it includes much more. It is the stair enclosures we use to get to the fire, the room configurations, rooftop hazards, structure framing, the fire escapes, ceilings, doors, windows, voids behind walls and floors and roof construction. The term battlespace is not the same as battleground or fireground, it is the firefighting surroundings that must be understood to combat fire, protect firefighters and complete our mission of protecting lives and property.

British or American English A Handbook of Word and Grammar Patterns

British or American English A Handbook of Word and Grammar Patterns
John Algeo, "British or American English?: A Handbook of Word and Grammar Patterns"
English | 2006 | pages: 362 | ISBN: 0521379938, 0521371376 | PDF | 1,8 mb
Speakers of British and American English display some striking differences in their use of grammar. In this detailed survey, John Algeo considers questions such as: *Who lives on a street, and who lives in a street? *Who takes a bath, and who has a bath? *Who says Neither do I, and who says Nor do I? *After 'thank you', who says Not at all and who says You're welcome? *Whose team are on the ball, and whose team isn't? Containing extensive quotations from real-life English on both sides of the Atlantic, collected over the past twenty years, this is a clear and highly organized guide to the differences - and the similarities - between the grammar of British and American speakers. Written for those with no prior knowledge of linguistics, it shows how these grammatical differences are linked mainly to particular words, and provides an accessible account of contemporary English in use.
