The growth of health promotion as a topic for discussion and a
principle for practice is widespread, and affects all groups of
health professionals. The "Healthy Cities" project, like "Health
for All", was inaugurated by the World Health Organization and has
informed policy throughout the world. This volume examines the
application of the project in a number of countries. The
contributors explore problems in the relationship between policy
makers, communities and academic researchers, and discuss how the
"Healthy Cities" programme affects housing policy, commmunity
development, scientific interchange and health education. In
addition, John Davies and Michael Kelly provide a context by
tracing the history of the WHO projects, and then discuss them in
the broader context of scientific and philosophical debates about
modernism and post-modernism. The contributors are drawn from
practitioners and scientists with wide experience in this area from
the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the United States.
Written by one of the astronomers who 'lived the dream' of working
there this book is a restrospectively expanded diary featuring the
'birth and long life' of what was a truely innovative telescope.
Based on input received from people involved in its planning,
building, operation, and many scientists who observed with it, the
author tells this success story of The United Kingdom Infrared
Telescope (UKIRT). Conceived in the mid 1970's as a cheap and
cheerful light-bucket for the newly emerging field of infrared
astronomy it has re-invented itself once a decade to remain at the
forefront of infrared astronomy for more than 30 years. Even in
2012 / 2013, when ironically it faced almost certain closure, it
remained one of the most scientifically productive telescopes in
the world. Everybody, including amateur and professional
astronomers, interested in real astronomy projects will enjoy
reading that story and meet (again) the persons who lived it.

The Making of Modern Law: Foreign, Comparative and International
Law, 1600-1926, brings together foreign, comparative, and
international titles in a single resource. Its International Law
component features works of some of the great legal theorists,
including Gentili, Grotius, Selden, Zouche, Pufendorf,
Bijnkershoek, Wolff, Vattel, Martens, Mackintosh, Wheaton, among
others. The materials in this archive are drawn from three
world-class American law libraries: the Yale Law Library, the
George Washington University Law Library, and the Columbia Law
Library.Now for the first time, these high-quality digital scans of
original works are available via print-on-demand, making them
readily accessible to libraries, students, independent scholars,
and readers of all ages.+++++++++++++++The below data was compiled

A decade after the confirmation of the Kuiper Belt's existence, 80
of the world's experts gathered in Chile to review what has been
learned since 1992. This record of the meeting is enhanced by
several specially solicited papers covering additional material not
presented at the conference. The volume includes papers on the
dynamics of the trans-Neptunian region, the results of deep surveys
for the new objects and the evidence for an outer Edge to the
Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. Physical observations of many objects are
described and attempts are made to bring these data into some
coherent picture of the distant solar system. The interior physics
of these distant, icy objects, and the link between the Kuiper Belt
and dust disks around other stars are also considered. Of
particular interest is a set of papers on how the surfaces of
distant asteroids are affected by various types of radiation, an
area crucial to the interpretation of data being collected by large
ground based telescopes.
Suitable for professional astronomers and PhD students working in
the field of planetary science.
