Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology is an integrative volume
with broad coverage of current research on primate craniofacial
biology and function. Topic headings include: the mammalian
perspective on primate craniofacial form and function, allometric
and comparative morphological studies of primate heads, in vivo
research on primate mastication, modeling of the primate
masticatory apparatus, primate dental form and function, and
palaeoanthropologic studies of primate skulls. Additionally, the
volume includes introductory chapters discussing how primatologists
study adaptations in primates and a discussion of in vivo
approaches for studying primate performance. At present, there are
no texts with a similar focus on primate craniofacial biology and
no sources that approach this topic from such a wide range of
research perspectives. This breadth of research covered by leaders
in their respective fields make this volume a unique and innovative
contribution to biological anthropology.
This book is unique in describing the history of post war
reconstruction from an entirely new perspective by focusing on the
changing relationship between architects and building workers. It
considers individual, as well as collective, interactions with
technical change and in doing so brings together, for the first
time, an extraordinary range of sources including technical
archives, oral history and visual material to describe the
construction process both during and in the decades after the war.
It focuses on the social aspects of production and the changes in
working life for architects and building workers with increasing
industrialization, in particular analysing the effect on the
building process of introducing dimensionally co-ordinated
components. Both architects and building workers have been accused
of creating a built environment now popularly discredited:
architects responsible for poor design and building workers for
poor workmanship. However, many of the structures and ideas
underpinning this period of rapid change were revolutionary in
their commitment to a complete transformation of the building
process. An Architecture of Parts adds to the growing literature on
changes in the building world during and immediately after the
Second World War. It is significant, both empirically and
historically, in its examination of the ideas, technology and
relationships that fired industrialization of the building process
in mid-century Britain.

Sixteen-year-old Australian, Killara Jones, is the chosen one-for
all the wrong reasons. A lone psychic in the sleepy town of
Khalija, North Dakota, he is a self-proclaimed freak who can see
angels, demons, and a lot of other things in between. Unbeknownst
to him, his talents are a means to an end. His death has been
foretold-he is a crucial element in the war between Heaven and
Hell-until a fallen angel named Sullivan steps in. With Killara
very much alive, he and Sullivan must break an ancient pact, stop
Killara's classmates from selling their souls, and prevent the
Gates of Hell from opening again. Bad angels, good demons, and a
teenager who just wants to survive. Only by believing in themselves
and working together, can this team of misfits restore the balance
and save their town. Will they succeed? Or watch as all hell breaks
loose, forcing them into a Showdown at Evil High?
