Dick is a South Korean immigrant who moves to the United States in 1964. New Doctor on Maple Street presents a collection of tales exploring the life of this fictional figure as he adapts to a new culture, struggles to settle down in a small American town, and builds a family, experiencing a variety of issues along the way. These tales share the details of those Dick encounters along the way, from a cop who pulls him away from a family vacation to bring him back to the ICU, to his wife, who comes to work in the office to alleviate her boredom. Theres also Charlie, a middle-aged physicians assistant who has always wanted to be a doctor, and a patient dying of cancer who longs to savor food and wine before she dies. Despite the difficulties and changes that his adopted country offers, Dick finds immigrant life in the United States to be less traumatic and more peaceful than the chaos that marked his formative years. This collection of short stories and essays offers an intriguing look at the United States and Korea through the eyes of a rural doctor from South Korea.

There is an old saying that an engineer describes every idea with a drawing. With the advances in computer technology and drawing software, it has never been easier, or more important, to learn computer aided design. To be effective, however, a drawing must accurately convey your intended meaning and that requires more than just knowing how to use software. This book provides you with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2018 as they pertain to civil engineering applications. This combination of theory and its practical application will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to create designs that are accurate and easily understood by others. Each chapter starts with a bulleted list of chapter objectives followed by an introduction. This provides you with a general overview of the material that will be covered in the chapter. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help you learn to use the various AutoCAD commands. More importantly, you will also learn how and why you would use these tools in real world projects. This book has been categorized and ordered into eleven parts: Introduction to AutoCAD 2018 ribbon interface (1-7)Dimensioning and tolerancing using AutoCAD 2018 (8-9)Use of AutoCAD in land survey data plotting (10-11)The use of AutoCAD in hydrology (12-13)Transportation engineering and AutoCAD (14-15)AutoCAD and architecture technology (16-18)Introduction to working drawings (19)Plotting from AutoCAD (20)Suggested drawing problems (21-22)BibliographyIndex
