Since the 4th Series of this Fascicle was published, there have
been considerable advances in our understanding of tumors within
the serosal membranes, in particular the classification of
mesothelial tumors and their genetics. This 5th Series Fascicle
aligns with the terminology recommended by the WHO in its most
recent edition for pleural and pericardial tumors, with expansion
to reflect serosal membranes at other sites and including
recognition of mesothelioma in situ.

Some postcolonial theorists argue that the idea of a single system
of belief known as "Hinduism" is a creation of nineteenth-century
British imperialists. Andrew J. Nicholson introduces another
perspective: although a unified Hindu identity is not as ancient as
some Hindus claim, it has its roots in innovations within South
Asian philosophy from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries.
During this time, thinkers treated the philosophies of Vedanta,
Samkhya, and Yoga, along with the worshippers of Visnu, Siva, and
Sakti, as belonging to a single system of belief and practice.
Instead of seeing such groups as separate and contradictory, they
re-envisioned them as separate rivers leading to the ocean of
Brahman, the ultimate reality. Drawing on the writings of
philosophers from late medieval and early modern traditions,
including Vijnanabhiksu, Madhava, and Madhusudana Sarasvati,
Nicholson shows how influential thinkers portrayed Vedanta
philosophy as the ultimate unifier of diverse belief systems. This
project paved the way for the work of later Hindu reformers, such
as Vivekananda, Radhakrishnan, and Gandhi, whose teachings promoted
the notion that all world religions belong to a single spiritual
unity. In his study, Nicholson also critiques the way in which
Eurocentric concepts--like monism and dualism, idealism and
realism, theism and atheism, and orthodoxy and heterodoxy--have
come to dominate modern discourses on Indian philosophy.
Google Earth is a research, mapping, and cultural exploration tool
that puts the whole world in your hands, then hands over the tools
to let you build your own world. The uses of Google Earth in
academia, in libraries, and across disciplines are endless and each
year more innovate research projects are being released. Since its
launch, Google Earth has had an enormous impact on the way people
think, learn, and work with geographic information. With easy
access to spatial and cultural information, and with customizable
map features and dynamic presentation tools, Google Earth is an
attractive option for anyone wishing to host projects and to share
research findings through a common online interface. This
easy-to-read, practical guide: *Demonstrates how Google Earth has
been used as a resource for research *Showcases library path
finders, discovery tools, and collections built with Google Earth
*Discusses how Google Earth can be embedded into various library
services *Highlights effectives uses of Google Earth in
specific-discipline education, and provide step-by-step sample
classroom activities *Introduces Google Earth features, data, and
map making capabilities *Describes Google Earth-related online
resources After reading this guide, librarians will be able to
easily integrate Google Earth's many facets into their services and
help teachers integrate it into their classrooms. Because so many
librarians are educators and subject specialists, they can
customize the learning outcomes for students based on the subject
being studied. This book presents a cross-disciplinary overview of
how Google Earth can be used in research, in teaching and learning,
and in other library services like promotion, outreach, reference
and very importantly collection and resource exploration and
discovery. This comprehensive guide to using Google Earth is for
public, school, academic, and special libraries serving from the
elementary level through adult levels. Although articles have been
written about specific subjects and specific library projects, this
is the first published that offer a one-stop-shop for utilizing
this online product for library-related purposes. Librarians
reading this book will gain the Google Earth skills required to be
able to not only use it themselves, but also teach others in how to
use this online technology.

For the first time all Byron's miscellaneous prose writings are
collected together, including his speeches in the House of Lords,
short stories, reviews, critical articles, and Armenian
translations, as well as such shorter pieces as memoranda, notes,
reminiscences, and marginalia. Although some of this material has
been published before - most notably in the appendices to
Prothero's edition of the Letters and Journals (1898-1901) - a
considerable proportion is here published for the first time. For
the first time too, the prose works are presented with full
scholarly apparatus. The texts are reproduced from their original
manuscripts wherever these are still extant; and the notes provide
an introduction to each item, detailing the circumstances of its
composition, its publication history, and its historical and
literary background, as well as providing comprehensive annotation
of individual points of obscurity, allusions, and other matters of
content.

Geochemical Modeling for Mine Site Characterization and Remediation
is the fourth of six volumes in the Management Technologies for
Metal Mining Influenced Water series about technologies for
management of metal mine and metallurgical process drainage. This
handbook describes the important components of hydrogeochemical
modeling for mine environments, primarily those mines where sulfi
de minerals are present-metal mines and coal mines. It provides
general guidelines on the strengths and limitations of geochemical
modeling and an overview of its application to the
hydrogeochemistry of both unmined mineralized sites and those
contaminated from mineral extraction and mineral processing. The
handbook includes an overview of the models behind the codes,
explains vital geochemical computations, describes several modeling
processes, provides a compilation of codes, and gives examples of
their application, including both successes and failures.
Hydrologic modeling is also included because mining contaminants
most often migrate by surface water and groundwater transport, and
contaminant concentrations are a function of water residence time
as well as pathways. This is an indispensable resource for mine
planners and engineers, environmental managers, land managers,
consultants, researchers, government regulators, nongovernmental
organizations, students, stakeholders, and anyone with an interest
in mining influenced water. The other handbooks in the series are
Basics of Metal Mining Influenced Water; Mitigation of Metal Mining
Influenced Water; Mine Pit Lakes: Characteristics, Predictive
Modeling, and Sustainability; Techniques for Predicting Metal
Mining Influenced Water; and Sampling and Monitoring for the Mine
Life Cycle.
