When a space shuttle goes missing during a test flight, James Bond
(Roger Moore) is the man who must track it down. His investigations
take him to Venice (where he uses his specially customized
gondola), Rio de Janeiro (where he fights steel-toothed henchman
Jaws on top of a cable car), and finally into outer space (where he
uncovers a ruthless plot to wipe out the human race and replace it
with genetically engineered humanoids). Highlights include Bond's
encounters with NASA scientist Dr Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) and
the climactic battle aboard villain Hugo Drax's (Michael Lonsdale)
space station.
The rapidly evolving inter-disciplinary field of Strategic
Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a vital means of evaluating the
likely significant environmental consequences of implementing land
use plan proposals. The European SEA directive, which came into
effect in 2004, requires member states to implement SEA
requirements. This book provides an authoritative, international
evaluation of the SEA of land use plans and provides context using
a variety of case studies in which the uniquely qualified
contributors evaluate systems in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hong
Kong, Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal,
South Africa, Sweden, The UK, and the USA. Each SEA system is
evaluated against a set of generic criteria specially designed to
analyse different aspects of SEA. Numerous figures and tables are
used to summarize the evaluative findings.

Writing, the ability to make language visible and permanent, is one
of humanity's greatest inventions. This book presents current
perspectives on the origins and development of writing in
Mesopotamia and Egypt, providing an overview of each writing system
and its uses. Essays on writing in China and Mesoamerica complete
coverage of the four "pristine" writing systems - inventions of
writing in which there was no previous exposure to texts. The
authors explore what writing is, and is not, and sections of the
text are devoted to Anatolian hieroglyphs of Anatolia, and to the
development of the alphabet in the Sinai Peninsula in the second
millennium BC and its spread to Phoenicia where it spawned the
Greek and Latin alphabets. This richly illustrated volume, issued
in conjunction with an exhibit at the Oriental Institute, provides
a current perspective on, and appreciation of, an invention that
changed the course of history.
