Oliver James and Eliza Bennett star in this horror from director
Johannes Roberts. When a group of friends decide to go on a road
trip through scenic Ireland, their journey takes a fortuitous turn
as they unintentionally knock down and kill an old gypsy woman. In
the woman's dying breath she places upon the group a curse that
sends for a gigantic bird of prey known as a Simuroc to deliver
their punishment: death, one at a time.

Photochemical reactions play a major role in the environment
including a wide range of reactions in the atmosphere, natural
waters, soil and living organisms. This new volume on Environmental
Photochemistry up-dates the previous edition with chapters on basic
aspects including concepts of photochemical transformations and
mechanistic photochemical processes in the atmosphere and water. In
addition a range of applications are also detailed such as advanced
photochemical oxidation processes for water and air treatment as
well as applications of photocatalysis for surface treatment and
nuclear fuel reprocessing. The new edition provides a critical up
to date overview of the most important research in the field of
environmental photochemistry.

Victoria's reptile population is not often encountered by urban
dwellers, with many species rare or threatened. You may have
glimpsed a skink darting into the undergrowth, a snake slithering
along a walking path or a blue-tongued lizard sunning itself near
your garden shed. Yet the turtles, skinks, geckos, goannas, snakes
and other reptiles that call Victoria home are fascinating and
important members of the urban and rural ecosystems. Reptiles of
Victoria is the first publication to describe all reptiles known to
occur within Victoria. It contains keys and illustrated
descriptions to allow identification of all 123 native, introduced
and vagrant reptile species and describes their biology, ecology,
distributions and the habitats in which they live. It also
indicates the level of risk that the venomous snakes pose to humans
and includes a brief section on first aid for snake bites. Natural
history enthusiasts and professional and amateur herpetologists
will find this an essential guide. Features Discover the
extraordinary diversity of Victoria's reptiles, including turtles,
lizards and snakes Includes detailed descriptions and keys for 123
species to assist with identification Extensively illustrated with
photographs of live reptiles and diagrams of diagnostic features
The distribution and habitat of each species is mapped and
described, with important aspects of their ecology and conservation
status also discussed.
The leading Australian astronomer of his generation, John Bolton
(1922-93), was born in Sheffield and educated at Cambridge
University. After wartime service in the Royal Navy, he arrived in
Sydney and joined the CSIRO Radiophysics Laboratory. In the late
1940s he discovered and identified the first discrete radio
sources, unusual objects at vast distances with intense emission at
radio frequencies. These discoveries marked the birth of a new
field - extragalactic radio astronomy. Bolton had the unusual
distinction of being the inaugural director of two new
observatories. In the late 1950s he built the first major
observatory for radio astronomy at Caltech in the United States,
returning to Australia to take charge of the newly completed Parkes
telescope - featured in the acclaimed film The Dish - in New South
Wales. In this thoroughly researched and generously illustrated
biography, Peter Robertson tells the remarkable story of how John
Bolton, and his CSIRO colleagues, propelled Australia to the
forefront of international radio astronomy.
Was the purpose of an Iron Age hillfort to defend people and
resources or was it there to show the power of the community and
its leaders? Was the Middle Iron Age trend to large complex
'defences' a response to developing tactics of assault or did the
huge amounts of construction work serve the purpose of building
community identity through shared labour? The name 'hillfort'
implies a defensive purpose, but in recent decades alternative
interpretations have gained favour, based on analyses suggesting
that hillforts are poorly suited to military purposes and on views
of Iron Age society that emphasise the importance of boundaries,
symbolic display and communitybuilding. Excavations of hillfort
interiors reveal they were sites for many activities; large caches
of stones suggest that sling warfare was one. This book reports an
investigation of these issues. Sling accuracy at a hillfort was
measured for the first time, in a controlled experiment comparing
attack and defence across single and developed ramparts. Tactical
scenarios modelled from the results showed that hillfort
development gave defenders increased advantage. These results
support defence as the explanation for the features of the
enclosing works of hillforts. Full details of the method and
analyses are included.
