The tribute of the Arakuline Tribe of the northern reaches of the
Taskan Empire was lost to bandits many years ago. Now, it is
believed to be found, held in the midst of the Tumbrian Forest,
well-hidden and well-guarded. The characters are persuaded to mount
an expedition to recover this long-lost prize, the heart of which
is the fabled King Boar Shield.But the forest belongs to Voka the
She Wolf and her powerful allies. Can the characters negotiate such
threats?The Arakuline Tribute is set in the world of Thennla.
Access to either The Taskan Empire, Shores of Korantia, or the
Thennla Sourcebook will be advantageous.
Boards and business leaders expect their key advisors to deliver
fresh insights, and increasingly expect them to demonstrate
foresight. To achieve what is expected, it is crucial to understand
the dynamics of conversations in the boardroom and around the audit
committee table. This book provides those unique perspectives. The
journey from the 'mailroom to the boardroom' follows the story of a
young banker who moved into the internal auditing profession as
part of the 'new breed', then rose through the ranks into senior
leadership and chief audit executive roles, before assuming audit
committee and board roles that had an immense influence on
governance, risk, compliance, and audit professionals. Success does
not always follow a smooth and uneventful trajectory, and this
story reflects insights from both the ups and the downs of the
journey. Each chapter shares insights, better practices, case
studies, practical examples, and real-life challenges and draws
them together into 101 building blocks, each one providing crucial
career-long learnings. The storytelling provides insights to people
at all levels on the importance of positioning oneself to step into
leadership roles, helps them understand how to evaluate and pursue
potential career growth opportunities, provides tips on how to
holistically manage and advance their career, and inspires
higher-level thinking that enhances governance, risk, compliance
and audit practices.
This completely updated and revised Second Edition of the popular
Workbook of Atmospheric Dispersion Estimates provides an important
foundation for understanding dispersion modeling as it is being
practiced today. The book and accompanying diskette will help you
determine the impacts of various sources of air pollution,
including the effects of wind and turbulence, plume rise, and
Gaussian dispersion and its limitations. Information is shown in
summary graphs as well as in equations. The programs included on
the diskette allow you to "get the feel" for the results you'll
obtain through the input of various combinations of parameter
values. The sensitivity of data to various parameters can be easily
explored by changing one value and seeing the effect on the
results. The book presents 37 example problems with solutions to
show the estimation of atmospheric pollutant concentrations for
many situations.

It is my hope that this collection of reviews can be profitably
read by all who are interested in evolutionary biology. However, I
would like to specifically target it for two disparate groups of
biologists seldom men tioned in the same sentence, classical
ichthyologists and molecular biologists. Since classical times, and
perhaps even before, ichthyologists have stood in awe at the
tremendous diversity of fishes. The bulk of effort in the field has
always been directed toward understanding this diversity, i. e.,
extracting from it a coherent picture of evolutionary processes and
lineages. This effort has, in turn, always been overwhelmingly
based upon morphological comparisons. The practical advantages of
such compari sons, especially the ease with which morphological
data can be had from preserved museum specimens, are manifold. But
considered objectively (outside its context of "tradition"),
morphological analysis alone is a poor tool for probing
evolutionary processes or elucidating relationships. The concepts
of "relationship" and of "evolution" are inherently genetic ones,
and the genetic bases of morphological traits are seldom known in
detail and frequently unknown entirely. Earlier in this century,
several workers, notably Gordon, Kosswig, Schmidt, and, in his
salad years, Carl Hubbs, pioneered the application of genetic
techniques and modes of reasoning to ichthyology. While certain
that most contemporary ichth yologists are familiar with this body
of work, I am almost equally certain that few of them regard it as
pertinent to their own efforts."
