Originally published in 1981, this book explains the factors which precipitated and effected changes in the major dimensions of union activity in Britain since 1960. The authors use a series of comparative case studies to examine change in the government, growth, mergers, character and bargaining structures of British unions. The central theme of the book is that unions are far freer to determine their own behaviour than was commonly supposed. In examining changes in unions, the authors develop concepts and terms which provide new insights into union behaviour.

The first edition of this book demystified the process of well log analysis for students, researchers and practitioners. In the two decades since, the industry has changed enormously: technical staffs are smaller, and hydrocarbons are harder to locate, quantify, and produce. New drilling techniques have engendered new measurement devices incorporated into the drilling string. Corporate restructuring and the "graying" of the workforce have caused a scarcity in technical competence involved in the search and exploitation of petroleum. The updated 2nd Edition reviews logging measurement technology developed in the last twenty years, and expands the petrophysical applications of the measurements.

This meticulous work aims to identify all of the assets of one English abbey, that of Winchcombe, founded in the 8th century. In addition to locating and plotting the actual lands and estates of the monastery, some 81 sites, Anne Ellis provides an overview of the landscape features of these sites. In particular she focuses her attention on just one manor at Sherborne, where a detailed picture of landscape change is built up.

This book documents the most extensive study ever on the use of deep sea tailing placement at the Island Copper Mine on Canada's Vancouver Island. The study examined all aspects of this innovative program which utilized 400 million tons of tailing solids, beginning with its initial implementation in 1971 to five years after the mine's closure in 1995. Coverage includes placement program, engineering, chemical, biological, cost savings and environmental considerations. Includes 8 color pages.
