"The 9/11 attacks and other subsequent events have fostered further
dimensions to port, maritime and supply chain security with a raft
of compulsory and voluntary measures being put in place at both
domestic and global levels. Risk Management in Port Operations is
the first insight into the complex world of port and supply chain
security. It combines selected peer-reviewed contributions from an
international line-up of academic and professional experts in the
field. In particular, the book addresses operational and management
challenges that port, international logistics and supply chain
operators face today in view of the new security regulations and
the requirements of increased visibility throughout the supply
chain. The book also offers a rare blend of academic and
practitioner contributions covering a wide collection of security
models and applications ranging from operational and functional
subjects to management and policy issues; the first insight into
the complex world of port
A carefully curated review of the scientific literature, Volume 113
of Organic Reactions presents critical discussions of widely used
organic reactions or particular steps of a reaction. The material
is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on
limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the
selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that
contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration.
Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of
each method. Launched in 1942, the Organic Reactions series today
is a leading secondary- and tertiary-level source for organic
chemists across the world.
A carefully curated review of the scientific literature, Volume 112
of Organic Reactions commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Ugi
reaction. It explores the practical and theoretical aspects of one
of the most widely used reactions in organic chemistry, focusing on
the main Ugi reaction as well as on its many variants. This volume
is published in two parts, A and B. Launched in 1942, the Organic
Reactions series today is a leading secondary- and tertiary-level
source for organic chemists across the world.
This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's award-winning
Iceland guide remains the most in-depth guide available to one of
the few countries in the world that has no mosquitoes, no ants, no
Starbucks and no MacDonalds. Featuring honest, practical
information from an author who has repeatedly visited the country
over twenty years and is familiar with its language, history and
culture, Bradt's Iceland has won the Lowell Thomas Award (the
highest travel writing award available in the United States) and
provides more context for individual places than any other
guidebook, plus frank, investigative hotel and restaurant reviews
that hide nothing. This latest edition covers everything you would
expect, from the Northern Lights to snow mobiling, dog sledding,
visiting West Fjords, Iceland's remotest corner, and the Laugavegur
trail, Iceland's most famous 5-day trek. New developments covered
include the merging together of different Nature Reserves and
National Parks under the 'Vatnajökull National Park' banner,
better infrastructure throughout the entire country, new hotels,
restaurants, bars and geothermal spas, and more tour companies
offering a wider variety of activities. For Reykjavik, there has
been a complete update of the city's nightlife, restaurants,
hotels, swimming pools and festivals, while other new features
include fuller coverage of East Iceland, visiting hot springs and
spas, 4X4 adventures in the Icelandic Highlands, plus more details
of how and where to experience Iceland's amazing wildlife. Bradt's
Iceland also offers the most detailed maps of any guidebook. Based
on 20 years of personal and business travel, exploration and
adventure all around the country, the guide is exhaustive,
well-researched and comprehensive, featuring a year-round approach
to travelling in Iceland in line with the development of the local
tourist industry to offer attractions beyond the normal summer
season. As a contributor to National Geographic, and a frequent
host for tours to Iceland, Andrew Evans explores some of the
remotest corners of the country regularly. He continues to lecture
about the country to high-end tour groups, as well as the National
Geographic Society and Smithsonian Institution. His guide is
exhaustive, allowing travellers to make informed decisions, to go
anywhere and explore anything.

The modern Whig movement and, specifically, the Modern Whig Party
is a quickly growing third party in America and this book examines
its political philosophy. Drawing from the history and traditions
of the party -- those that animated the public policies and careers
of such great American Whigs as George Washington, Alexander
Hamilton, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, and
Abraham Lincoln -- this book explains the set of core beliefs that
Whigs believe are essential to American governance. It goes on to
relate how Whig ideology can be applied to current governmental
issues today, touching upon the mortgage crisis, taxes, civil
rights, and health care. Making the case for American political and
economic nationalism, this manifesto offers insights into a
uniquely American philosophy that fostered the most successful and
prosperous nation in history.
Regional policy is an essential means by which the European Union
pursues its objective of social and economic cohesion. This major
new book describes the operation of the various EU structural
funds, which seek to promote equality between levels of development
and employment across Europe particularly by lending impetus to the
most backward areas. A thorough understanding of how regional
policy operates has become increasingly important following EU
enlargement as funds are allocated to new regions. This work
provides a comprehensive overview of the nature and operation of
the EU structural funds and related financial instruments for the
promotion of regional solidarity in Europe. It derives from a
section in the looseleaf Law of the EU (Vaughan & Robertson,
eds), and is made available here for the benefit of those who don't
subscribe to the looseleaf.
