Landscape is a subject of study that belongs to nobody. It has long been studied in various ways and under various guises by geologists, social and cultural geographers, planners, ecologists, historians and art historians, archaeologists and anthropologists. Landscapes form the basis for much poetry and innumerable novels and are thus of interest to…
Presented to Stan Beckensall on his 90th birthday, this diverse and stimulating collection of papers celebrates his crucial contribution to rock art studies, and also looks to the future. It should be of value to students of prehistoric Britain and Ireland, and anyone with an interest in rock art, for many decades to come. Stan has done a phenomenal amount of work over recent decades, on an …
There is also certainly a very specific market, of those who are addressed in the marketing of sensory education tools, with a rather limited inclusivity entailed in many of the workshops, books and programs I found, whether through targeted groups or representation in advertisement. As I delve into throughout the book, sensory education is often seen as an antidote to dig-ital maximalism, wh…
This is the fi rst edition of the book without either of the original authors—Tony Hope and Murray Longmore. Both have now moved on to do other things, and enjoy a well-earned rest from authorship. In this book, I am joined by a Nephrologist, Gastroenterologist, and trainees destined for careers in Cardiology, Dermatology, and General Practice. Five physicians, each with very diff erent inter…
A concise primer that complicates a convenient truth in biology—the divide between germ and somatic cells—with far-reaching ethical and public policy ramifications. Scientists have long held that we have two kinds of cells—germ and soma. Make a change to germ cells—say using genome editing—and that change will appear in the cells of future generations. Somatic cells are “safe” aft…
Knowledge of the usual course of a disease from its onset and pretreatment phase through to its final outcome is important for several reasons. It enables predictions to be made about a patient’s likely recovery or degree of eventual disability, i.e. the prognosis. It also helps in judging whether improvements in a patient’s condition are due to treatment or to natural remission. Many chron…

In order to ensure employee safety and regulatory compliance, Reclamation has developed this Diving Safe Practices Manual (DSPM). This manual is intended to be the baseline for diving policy and is designed to address the most common Reclamation diving act…
Sitting in the shadow of the north wall of the ruined caravan house (karavanatun) at Arai-Bazarǰuł on a clear day in summer, one can see four mountain peaks. To the west above Aragats, the tallest mountain in the Republic of Armenia, clouds catch and gather, threatening to descend and change the day from sun to hail in minutes. To the northeast, the stooping shoulder of Tełenis hefts a load …
I reckon the siren like thunder : threat, distance, relation. The sound is high-pitched, continuous, and mechanical, and I do not recognize it at first. The siren does not warble; its pitch is constant. Suspended in traffic, the ambulance proceeds fitfully next to a Shiva temple and does not move fast enough for me to perceive the wave changes of the Doppler effect. Cars and rickshaws and motor…
