Written in accessible, understandable prose, this book explains the
connection between energy and business performance. It delineates
how day-to-day choices relate to the risks and rewards of energy
use. Concise, to-the-point chapters explain how energy is invested,
preserved, and ultimately positioned to create wealth. Hard-nosed
business leaders should appreciate the section with examples that
show a strong financial case for energy improvements, including the
save-or-buy criterion, the economic penalty for "doing nothing,"
the break-even cost, and the budget for supporting design and
analysis work.
A world consumed by war . . . An ancient evil resurrected . . . A
millennia old bargain comes due . . . When two blades clash, the
third will fall, and the fate of all will be jeopardized. To save
Lozaria, the failures of the past must be atoned for by a new
generation of heroes. The time has come for mortals to cast off
sight and, in doing so, truly come to see . . . Victory is never
absolute Seven centuries ago, the forces of order won the Illyriite
War on the plains of Har'muth. Darmatus and Rabban Aurelian slew
their elder brother, Sarcon, the despotic architect of the
conflict, then sacrificed themselves to banish the cataclysmic
vortex opened with his dying breath. The first advent of the
Oblivion Well was thwarted. Even without their vanished gods, the
seven races of Lozaria proved themselves capable of safeguarding
their world. Or so the story goes. The year is now 697 A.B.H.
(After the Battle of Har'muth). Though war itself remains much the
same, the weapons with which it is waged have evolved. Airships
bearing powerful cannons ply the skies, reducing the influence of
mages and their spells. Long range communication has brought far
flung regions of Lozaria closer than ever before. At the center of
this technological revolution are the three Terran states of
Darmatia, Rabban, and Sarconia, who have fought a near ceaseless
campaign of 700 years in an attempt to best each other. The roots
of their enmity lie buried beneath the wasteland of Har'muth, a
place all three nations consider best forgotten. However, an
ancient power sealed within Har'muth has not forgotten them, and
the descendants of those who fought on that field must now take a
stand to rectify the mistakes of the past. Christopher Russell
presents the first book in his gripping fantasy series: Divinity's
Twilight.
Over the past decade, Critical Race Theory (CRT) scholars in
education have produced a significant body of work theorizing the
impact of race and racism in education. Critical Race Theory
Matters provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of this
influential movement, shining its keen light on specific issues
within education. Through clear and accessible language, the
authors synthesize scholarship in the field, highlight major themes
and assumptions, and examine strategies of resistance and practices
for challenging the existing inequalities in education. By linking
theory to everyday practices in today's classroom, students will
understand how CRT is relevant to a host of timely topics, from
macro-policies such as Bilingual Education and Affirmative Action
to micro-policies such as classroom management and curriculum.
Moving beyond identifying problems into the realm of problem
solving, Critical Race Theory Matters is a call to action to put
into praxis a radical new vision of education in support of
equality and social justice.
The Venus Express spacecraft, which was launched in November 2005
and ceased activity in December 2014, has brought about a new
wealth of data on Venus's atmosphere, surface, and space
environment. Following the completion of this landmark mission, an
overview of the current state of scientific understanding of Venus
has been assembled into a single collection. The ten papers in this
book, written by an international team of specialists, are the
products of this effort. They review our knowledge of Venus's
interior structure, surface composition, and atmosphere in terms of
thermal structure, dynamics, composition, chemistry, clouds,
aeronomy, and interaction with the solar wind. Additionally, they
identify the questions and measurements that remain open for study
in ongoing and future research and exploration efforts. The
resulting volume is primarily intended for students and researchers
of planetary science. This book is a follow-up to the pioneering
book Venus, published in 1983, and its successor volume Venus II,
published in 1997, stood at their respective times as the most
authoritative single-volume works available on the planet.

In September 2011, the GRAIL mission launched two unmanned
spacecraft to the Moon, which entered into lunar orbit on December
31, 2011 and January 1, 2012. They orbited the Moon until December
17, 2012, when they impacted the surface near the Moon's north
pole. This book contains three review articles co-authored by the
GRAIL Science Team and Guest Scientists that describe the reasons
for the GRAIL mission, the development of the necessary technology,
and the design of the mission to acquire the most precise
measurements of the lunar gravity field possible today. The book
provides a detailed description of the GRAIL mission's scientific
objectives, the instrumentation and its required performance, the
complex simulation of the measurement system for determining the
gravity field, and the innovative education and public outreach of
the mission directed toward middle-school students who could select
areas of the Moon for imaging with the onboard MoonKam camera
system. This volume is aimed at researchers and graduate students
active in solar system science and planetology. Originally
published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 178/1, 2013.
The ARTEMIS mission was initiated by skillfully moving the two
outermost Earth-orbiting THEMIS spacecraft into lunar orbit to
conduct unprecedented dual spacecraft observations of the lunar
environment. ARTEMIS stands for Acceleration, Reconnection,
Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the
Sun. Indeed, this volume discusses initial findings related to the
Moon's magnetic and plasma environments and the electrical
conductivity of the lunar interior. This work is aimed at
researchers and graduate students in both heliophysics and
planetary physics. Originally published in Space Science Reviews,
Vol. 165/1-4, 2011.
The Mars Science Laboratory is the latest and most advanced NASA
roving vehicle to explore the surface of Mars. The Curiosity rover
has landed in Gale crater and will explore this region assessing
conditions on the surface that might be hospitable to life and
paving the way for later even more sophisticated exploration of the
surface. This book describes the mission, its exploration and
scientific objectives, studies leading to the design of the mission
and the instruments that accomplish the objectives of the mission.
This book is aimed at all those engaged in Martian studies as well
as those interested in the origin of life in other environments. It
will be a valuable reference for anyone who uses data from the Mars
Science Laboratory. Previously published in Space Science Reviews
journal, Vol. 170/1-4, 2012.

This book is an essential handbook on teaching primary history,
combining subject knowledge with practical teaching ideas to ensure
your teaching of history is both imaginative and creative.
Emphasizing the importance of history and its wider skillset, the
book explores the concepts and skills that are the fundamental
building blocks of history teaching such as: * Chronological
understanding * Concepts and skills * Interpretation and evidence
Each chapter offers a structured approach and provides a range of
activities that both address specific elements of the history
curriculum and help develop this wider skillset. It includes
practical ideas for lessons through an essential toolkit of ideas,
teaching strategies and activities, with each activity designed to
focus on a key skill or attribute associated with teaching primary
history. The practical insights accompanied by a grounded rationale
for each aspect of history will help you learn the best methods for
approaching the teaching of history in the primary school, as well
as plan and deliver effective history lessons. This book is ideal
if you are training to teach as it will help you with your
assignments and your teaching placements. It is also recommended if
you are a more experienced practitioner or history coordinator and
want to provide the very best experiences in primary history to
children in your school. "An essential and inspirational guidebook
for the successful teaching of history within the primary
classroom! If you are in any way involved with the teaching of
history, you owe it to yourself to read this book. A 'must have'
for all history coordinators and teachers within the primary
sector, from trainees to the experienced, who wish to raise the
profile of history within their school. Closely tied to the new
primary curriculum, it is enriched with excellent ideas to make
history in the classroom a fun and memorable experience." Julia
Wilson, Primary Teacher, Hensingham Primary School, UK "This book
is easy to read and will enable all teachers (whatever their stage
of career development) to become even better at teaching History.
The chapter about the history of the curriculum is particularly
interesting because it helps us all to understand what has
influenced curriculums and pedagogies over time, whereas the
Planning, Assessment and Toolkit chapters are useful on a more
practical level. What is particularly ideal for trainee teachers is
the Theory into Practice chapter that blends the pedagogy of
History with learning theory. I will certainly be recommending this
text to all my student teachers." Maggie Webster, Senior Lecturer
and RE Subject Coordinator, Edge Hill University, UK "Chris Russell
has provided a gem of a guide with lots of practical advice for the
student and practising teacher of history in the primary classroom,
as well as a good book to read in its own right." Marian Hodgson,
Head Teacher, St Philips CE Primary School, Litherland, UK

All thirteen episodes of the drama series starring Derek Jacobi as
the medieval sleuth. In the opening episode 'One Corpse Too Many',
Cadfael, once a man of the world, has become a man of the cloth.
However, this by no means qualifies him as a saint. He discovers a
murder, and sets out in pursuit of the perpertrator, assisted by a
lovely young fugitive. 'The Sanctuary Sparrow' sees Brother Cadfael
investigating the murder of the local goldsmith. In 'The Leper of
St Giles' a great wedding is to take place in the Abbey of
Shrewsbury between Baron Huon (Norman Eshley) and Iveta De Massard
(Tara Fitzgerald). Iveta is a beautiful, kind soul and on the day
she and her betrothed ride into the town she throws money to the
lepers, but her brutish Baron beats them. On the eve of the wedding
he rides off into the night never to return. Cadfael sets out to
find out what is going on. In 'Monk's Hood', a landowner cuts his
son-in-law out of his will, leaving his inheritance to the church.
However, before the transaction is finished, Gervase Gurney
(Bernard Gallagher) is poisoned whilst staying at the Abbey of
Shrewsbury. Cadfael finds someone from his past as he looks into
the poisoning. In 'The Virgin in the Ice' Cadfael has to prove the
innocence of his novice, Oswin (Mark Charnock), who is accused of
murdering a nun after he is found wandering deliriously. In 'The
Devil's Novice', Cadfael is suspicious when a young man, Meriet
(Christien Anholt), arrives at Shrewsbury Abbey wishing to become a
Novice. Canon Eluard (Ian McNeice) shares Cadfael's doubts as to
Meriet's intentions, and when the half-burned body of a colleague
is discovered, Meriet is accused of murder. In 'A Morbid Taste For
Bones', Cadfael reluctantly accompanies an expedition to dig up the
grave of St Winifred, after one of the Shrewsbury monks has a
vision. He soon finds himself investigating a murder, when Lord
Rhysart (John Hallam) is found dead on a forest track with an arrow
in his chest. Robert (Michael Culver) believes the culprit to be
Godwin, who was having an affair with Rhysart's daughter, Sioned
(Anna Friel). However, Cadfael has other ideas. In 'The Rose Rent',
the recently-widowed of a rich merchant becomes an attraction for
the men of Shrewsbury, until one of her suitors and a monk are
murdered. In 'St Peter's Fair', conflict arises between the
townspeople of Shrewsbury and visitors to the annual fair. In 'The
Raven in the Foregate', Cadfael has a double murder to solve when a
pregnant girl and a priest who refused to hear her confession are
both killed. In 'The Holy Thief', Cadfael is on the hunt for a
beautiful slave girl and the bones of St Winifred, both of which
have mysteriously disappeared from the Abbey. In 'The Potter's
Field', Cadfael uncovers a terrible web of jealousy, adultery and
suicide pacts when he examines the past of a potter who has entered
the monastery under suspicious circumstances. Finally, in 'The
Pilgrim of Hate', an old man's corpse is found in a sack in the
Abbey, and Cadfael must find his killer.

Four boys. One band. No Chance. Chris and George are best friends,
and they want to be rockstars. Unfortunately, a childhood spent
playing in the school orchestra and listening to Jimmy Nail has
left them a little fluffy around the edges, and at the age of 23,
their acoustic duo Satellite doesn't resemble Bon Jovi nearly as
much as they'd planned. So how do two ordinary boys from a sleepy
village go about taking on the cut-throat world of rock 'n' roll?
They're just going to have to fake it. True to life, funny and
uplifting, Mockstars is a coming-of-age story about friendship and
chasing the rock 'n' roll dream. Inspired by the real-life tour
diaries of the author's band The Lightyears, Mockstars is a
refreshingly different musical odyssey. Praise for Mockstars: 'Very
funny... Induced three inner chuckles and one belly laugh in just
over four minutes.' Kevin Sampson, author of Powder 'Finally, a
rock 'n' roll novel that people can properly relate to.' Ciaran
Jeremiah, The Feeling 'Hilarious - it's The Inbetweeners meets
Spinal Tap!' Alex Marsh, author of Sex & Bowls & Rock and
Roll What readers are saying about Mockstars: '...for all the folk
I annoyed the hell out of with explosive laughter and giggling - I
recommend that you read this in public and get your own back.' 'A
really honest and amusing account of the camaraderie between the
band members. A great read, funny yet poignant.' 'The new Bridget
Jones brought to life in a male, aspiring rock star from the home
counties. Littered in equal measure with laugh out loud and hide
under the covers, did he really write that?, moments.' 'Very, very
funny book. I had to stop reading it on the train as I was in a
quiet compartment.' 'If Richard Curtis and Douglas Adams got
together and wrote a book about a struggling rock-band you'd get
this. Fast paced, brimming with charm and frankly hilarious. I
laughed so hard I coughed tea through my nose and nearly ruined my
iPad.'
