Animal death is a complex, uncomfortable, depressing, motivating and sensitive topic. For those scholars participating in Human-Animal Studies, it is – accompanied by the concept of 'life' – the ground upon which their studies commence, whether those studies are historical, archaeological, social, philosophical, or cultural. It is a tough subject to face, but as this volume demonstrates, on…
Two thirds of our planet is covered with water. Every fragment of land, from the great contingent of Eurasia to the tiniest pasific island, has a shore. The total length of shorelines is huge. Yet the width is hardly measurable in comparison - it is often just a few yards. Shores are strange places, being the edge of the land as well as the edge of the sea. The sea level rises falls with the ti…
All robust seals are characterized by the absence of any pathway by which fluid or gas might escape. Detail differences exist in the manner by which zero clearance is obtained — welding, brazing, soldering, ground fits or lapped finishes — or the yielding of a softer material wholly or partially confined between two harder and stiffer members of the assembly. The O-ring seal falls in the la…

The evidence for a human influence on climate is clear and for a warming world “unequivocal” with many changes in Earth systems since the 1950s that are “unprecedented” (IPCC, 2013a; Reid et al., 2016). This opening chapter provides an introduction to the major role of the ocean in global warming and the Earth’s energy budget as a background to the changes in sea temperature that are …
As evidenced by the successful area-wide insect pest control programmes described in this book, the sterile insect technique (SIT), a component of these programmes, has come of age. The technology has expanded rapidly — additional target species, new rearing techniques, better understanding of genetics and insect behaviour, and especially integration into operational area-wide integrated pest…
Renaissance Fun is about the technology of Renaissance entertainments in stage machinery and theatrical special effects; in gardens and fountains; and in the automata and self-playing musical instruments that were installed in garden grottoes. How did the machines behind these shows work? How exactly were chariots filled with singers let down onto the stage? How were flaming dragons made to fly…
