Australian Western-style thriller. Ryan Kwanten stars as Shane
Cooper, a young city cop who has moved with his pregnant wife to
the small outback town of Red Hill in search of a quiet country
life. But on his first day in the job, an escaped murderer (Tommy
Lewis) breaks out of prison and goes on the rampage in the town,
tearing open old wounds and intent on bloody revenge.
Revised and expanded to reflect the most recent innovations in the
field, The Scientific Examination of Documents, Fourth Edition is a
handy, accessible volume detailing current best-practices for
forensic document examination. Since the first edition published in
1989, there have been drastic changes in the field of forensic
document examination-both from the use of the analytic techniques
available to the professional examiner-and the changes to
technology in office and printing equipment and inks. The purpose
of analyzing any material used in the production of a questioned
document, such as an ink or a piece of paper, is to compare it with
another material elsewhere in the questioned document itself-or on
another document-to determine whether or not they share a common
origin. There may also be a need to provide information for the
investigator about the possible origins of the document. This
latest edition reflects the myriad changes and advances that have
occurred in the last 10 to 15 years. Topics covered include:
current thinking on handwriting interpretation; accidental and
deliberate modification of handwriting; the proper collection of
samples; a discussion of shredded documents; professional
accreditation standards, qualifications, and training; and modern
digital imaging and analysis of documents and handwriting utilizing
software and imaging, including reconstruction of an image from
erasures, obliteration and other document altering methods. A new
section addresses cognitive bias and Chapter 8 is completely
updated to cover the advances in print and photocopied documents,
based on current technology, and analytical developments in the
comparison of such documents. Key features: Discusses issues
regarding handwritten, photocopied, and printed documents-including
inkjet versus digital printing Presents the advances and
capabilities modern office fax, photocopy, and printing
technologies-and implications for document examination Details and
reinforces the importance of ensuring proper scientific methods
during an examination Addresses current Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS,
mass spectroscopy, and SEM analysis techniques Highlights the
importance, and implications, of biological and fingerprint
evidence from documents that can be collected, examined, and
utilized in a case The Scientific Examination of Documents, Fourth
Edition serves as an invaluable resource to established
professionals, those just entering the field, and legal and
investigative professionals outside the discipline who have a
professional interest dealing with questioned documents in the
course of their work.
Situated almost on the border between England and Wales, Wrexham
has a long and important history. In the past it was famous for its
coal, iron, steel, lead mining and leather industries. Today, it is
the largest town in North Wales and two of the Seven Wonders of
Wales are located in the area: St Giles' Church in Wrexham and
Gresford church just outside the town. In ‘A-Z of Wrexham’,
local author Christopher Davies explores various aspects of the
town’s history, but in order to make the book as comprehensive as
possible, he also focuses on the County Borough. This will allow
for broader comment on the effects of the Industrial Revolution in
the area, and the inclusion of nationally important buildings and
structures such as the eighteenth-century Erddig Hall, now cared
for by the National Trust, and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal
World Heritage Site. Fully illustrated throughout, this book
provides an engaging and informative guide to the rich heritage of
this part of North Wales. Readers will gain a fascinating insight
into Wrexham’s buildings, industry and the individuals who shaped
the area across the centuries.
Little is known about Christopher Davy (c.1803 49), despite his
regular contributions to architectural and engineering magazines in
Britain and America. Describing himself as an 'architect and
teacher of architecture', he also took an interest in steam engines
and railway construction. In this work, published in 1839, and
using information gathered from experiments by the Board of
Ordnance, Davy begins by describing the characteristics of the
geology of England and Wales, with regard to its suitability for
obtaining building materials and laying strong foundations. He
describes the means by which soil and rock samples may be taken,
and gives details relating to the construction of the foundations
of St Paul's Cathedral on the troublesome London clay. Later
chapters discuss the practicalities of pile driving, the use of
concrete, and the properties of limestone. Reflecting the progress
of technical knowledge in the early nineteenth century, the work
features several illustrations of contemporary apparatus."
Stamford has a reputation for being one of England's finest stone
towns. It is a happy mix of medieval and Georgian architecture that
was untouched by the Industrial Revolution or later large scale
developments, so its central core has survived remarkably intact.
Its architecture is outstanding and for this reason, in 1967, it
became the country's first conservation area. In recent years the
town has become a popular tourist destination for both home and
overseas visitors. It has also attracted the attention of film
makers who have been quick to see its potential as a back-drop for
such TV productions as Middlemarch and Pride and Prejudice. Using
contrasting photographs, this book sets out to show something of
both the continuity and change in the town during the last 100
years.

The revised edition of this highly practical guide to creating and
using multi-sensory environments is packed full of ideas for
low-cost, easy-to-assemble multi-sensory environments suitable for
children of varying ages and abilities. Each creative learning
environment is designed to be constructed in a classroom or school
hall, encouraging creative thinking and learning, and the
development of social and emotional skills. Each environment idea
is accompanied by suggestions for use for children with special
educational needs. Key features of the revised edition include:
Ideas for creating sensory experiences that stimulate all the
sensory channels - auditory, visual, kinaesthetic, olfactory and
gustatory Suggestions for extension or differentiation depending on
student capability or time available A summary of the theory and
background to multi-sensory learning, to allow you to adapt the
suggested scenarios according to the needs of individual learners
Although these activities will be of particular value for children
with special educational needs or sensory impairments, they are
more broadly designed to provide stimulating learning environments,
as promoted in the themes and principles of the Early Years
Foundation Stage guidance. This is an invaluable resource for
teachers and other professionals in education.
By the close of the last millennium Dorling Kindersley had become
one of the most recognisable brands in publishing. Across the range
of illustrated household reference titles, from children's books to
travel guides, its distinctive look of colourful images cut out
against a white background could be seen on bookshelves throughout
the country - and indeed the publishing world. Apart from three
minor acquisitions, DK had grown organically over 25 years to be a
publicly listed company with a turnover of GBP200 million, some
1500 employees, publishing arms across the English language
markets, a 50-strong international sales force that dealt with more
than 400 publishers, a direct selling business with 30,000
independent distributors, and had expanded its skills for
delivering handsomely designed reference books into the new media
of videos, CD-ROMs and online educational content. Then a series of
catastrophic printing decisions brought the company to its knees,
and ultimately into the arms of Pearson. Christopher Davis is
uniquely positioned to tell the story of DK's rise and fall. He
joined the company at its foundation and in due course became Group
Publisher.The narrative he provides is a dual one, encompassing the
visionary genius of Peter Kindersley and the publishing revolution
he fomented, and charting the remarkable, sometimes precarious,
frequently hilarious, roller-coaster ride as the company grew from
a handful of people in a studio in South London to a substantial
global business. In the rapidly changing publishing climate of
today, this book is also a nostalgic reminder of a time when
creativity could flourish unburdened by the shackles of corporate
bureaucracy.
