This book is a specially published section of the larger work ICE
Manual of Construction Materials. ICE Manual of Construction
Materials is an invaluable resource for practising civil and
structural engineers in consulting firms, government agencies,
research institutes, universities and colleges. Its highly
practical approach will guide and train readers towards achieving
expertise in the use of major and emerging construction materials.
The Polymers and Polymer Fibre Composite section of the two-volume
manual is edited by Christopher Hall, Jian-Fei Chen and Len
Hollaway.
The life story of Madge Addy, a working-class Manchester woman who
volunteered to fight Fascism and Nazism in two major wars, is a
truly remarkable one. Madge left her job and her husband to serve
in the Spanish Civil War as a nurse with the Republican medical
services. In Spain she was wounded in a bombing raid, fell in love
with another foreign volunteer who became her second husband, was
made a Prisoner of War and was the last British nurse to leave
Spain, witnessing the horrors of Franco's Fascist regime before she
left. She was caught up in the 'Fall of France' and lived in
Marseille with her Norwegian husband. From 1940 to 1944 Madge was
first an amateur resister and later a full-time secret agent,
working with the likes of Ian Garrow, Pat O'Leary and Guido
Zembsch-Schreve. She also acted as a courier, flying to Lisbon to
deliver and receive secret messages from British intelligence. She
also became romantically involved with a Danish secret agent and
married him after the war. Madge's wartime achievements were
recognised by the British with the award of an OBE and by the
French with the award of the Croix de Guerre. Chris Hall brings
Madge's story to life using archive material and photographs from
Britain, France, Spain and Norway. Madge's Spanish Civil War
experiences are vividly described in a mass of letters she wrote
requesting medical aid and describing the harrowing conditions at
her wartime hospital. Her activities in the Second World War show a
woman with 'nerves of steel' and a bravery at times bordering on
recklessness. As she herself said, 'I believe in taking the war
into the enemy camp'.

This innovative book explores social work, therapy and counselling
as a series of encounters - between clients and human services
professionals, social workers, their colleagues and other
professionals, and more widely between citizens and the state.
Providing a variety of social constructionist perspectives on the
idea of the 'client', it presents in-depth discussion of the roles,
language and contexts of meetings between social workers and their
clients. International contributors present discussion on
categorization, analysing identities and reflexive practice.
Drawing data from a variety of sources, including meetings, client
files and transcribed dialogues with clients, the book employs
methods such as conversation and discourse analysis to propose new
insights into what it means to be a client of the human services
agency. Bringing together a rich variety of data, this volume forms
an important contribution to major debates on the nature of social
work and counselling. As well as innovative approaches to theory
and research, the implications for practice in social work and
counselling are discussed. Challenging previously-held notions
about clienthood, this book is a useful and thought-provoking
resource for social workers, counsellors, policy makers, academics,
researchers and students and trainers in social work and
counselling.
The authors study the Jacobian $J$ of the smooth projective curve
$C$ of genus $r-1$ with affine model $y^r = x^r-1(x + 1)(x + t)$
over the function field $\mathbb F_p(t)$, when $p$ is prime and
$r\ge 2$ is an integer prime to $p$. When $q$ is a power of $p$ and
$d$ is a positive integer, the authors compute the $L$-function of
$J$ over $\mathbb F_q(t^1/d)$ and show that the Birch and
Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for $J$ over $\mathbb F_q(t^1/d)$.
