Cracking the Code: A Practical Guide To The NEC
by Rob ZachariasonCracking the Code is an approachable, effective text that teaches students the structure and organization of the National Electrical Code® (NEC), based on the 2023 NEC. Because the NEC is a constantly evolving standard and far too vast to memorize, author Rob Zachariason took a unique approach to develop a book that focuses on teaching students how to navigate the structure of the NEC, rather than replicating the information found in the Code. The book is divided into two parts: the first half focuses on teaching students where information is located and how to use the NEC, while the second half focuses on specific Code-related design and calculation applications. Pro Tips provide real-world examples of the chapter content and help to tie in other Code requirements. Examples show relevant, Code-based applications and calculations being solved with step-by-step explanations.

But one night he is woken by an astonishing sound--a terrific keening, which is coming from somewhere in his garden. When he investigates he finds a great white crane, a bird taller than even himself. It has been shot through the wing with an arrow. Moved more than he can say, George struggles to take out the arrow from the bird's wing, saving its life before it flies away into the night sky. The next morning, a shaken George tries to go about his daily life, retreating to the back of his store and making cuttings from discarded books--a harmless, personal hobby--when through the front door of the shop a woman walks in. Her name is Kumiko, and she asks George to help her with her own artwork. George is dumbstruck by her beauty and her enigmatic nature, and begins to fall desperately in love with her. She seems to hold the potential to change his entire life, if he could only get her to reveal the secret of who she is and why she has brought her artwork to him.
