This book presents a simple, effective, and time-proven approach to the memorization and performance of Masonic ritual. "Learning Ritual: A Simple Process" offers the reader a simple universal approach to any form of Masonic ritual whether it is Blue or Craft Lodge or that of a high degree. This is the concise and sensible route to delivering ritual to the best of one's ability. Learning a part in a Masonic ritual is a journey. It's something that adds depth, meaning, and a new understanding to what you have already experienced in the Masonic Temple. This is the first time a book has been published that combines information on elements of performance and that of memorization, which of course are interlinked in every way. Andrew Skidmore demonstrates that learning ritual doesn't have to be a stressful and worrying undertaking. This book provides you with the practical advice you need to perform your ritual role without fear of freezing or making a mistake.

Most government agencies and private companies are investing significant resources in the production and use of geographical data. The capabilities of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for data analysis are also improving, to the extent that the potential performance of GIS software and the data available for analysis outstrip the abilities of managers and analysts to use and analyze the information. This is especially true for environmental applications. Here the need to keep up-to-date is essential for providing effective and efficient services. Environmental Modeling with GIS and Remote Sensing derives from a training course run by ITC for professionals and managers in the environmental sciences, detailing the applications of remote sensing and GIS for environmental modeling and assessment. It sets out the current research results and provides operational methods for environmental mapping and monitoring.
