Many North American Indian cultures regard the transition from childhood to adulthood as a pivotal and potentially vulnerable phase of life and have accordingly devised coming-of-age rituals to affirm traditional values and community support for its members. Such rituals are a positive and enabling social force in many modern Native communities whose younger generations are wrestling 606 $aIndians of North America$xSocial life and customs 606 $aIndian girls$zUnited States$xSocial life and customs 606 $aPuberty rites$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aIndian girls$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aPuberty rites 676 $a973.04/97 700 $aMarkstrom$b Carol A$0970445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451595103321 996 $aEmpowerment of North American Indian girls$92441255 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05333nam 22006254a 450 001 9910784546003321 005 20230120004824.0 010 $a1-280-96116-3 010 $a9786610961160 010 $a0-08-047025-4 035 $a(CKB)1000000000364769 035 $a(EBL)286706 035 $a(OCoLC)469399887 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000182805 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11170874 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000182805 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10173087 035 $a(PQKB)10623082 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL286706 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10167110 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL96116 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780120641550 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC286706 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000364769 100 $a20040316d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurunu||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIntroduction to optimum design$b[electronic resource] /$fJasbir S.

It can be used to find ideal shapes and physical configurations, ideal structural designs, maximum energy efficiency, and many other desired goals of engineering. This book is intended for use in a first course on engineering design and optimization. Material for the text has evolved over a period of several years and is based on classroom presentations for an undergraduate core course on the principles of design.
