In 1888 the name Jack the Ripper entered public consciousness with
the brutal murders of women in the East End of London. The murderer
was never caught, yet film and television depicts a killer with a
recognisable costume, motive and persona. This book examines the
origins of the screen presentation of the four key elements
associated with the murders - Jack the Ripper, the victims, the
detective and Whitechapel. Nineteenth-century history, art and
literature, psychoanalytical theories of Freud and Jung and
feminist film theory are all used to deconstruct the representation
of Jack the Ripper on screen.
Environmental Physics is a comprehensive introduction to the physical concepts underlying environmental science. The importance and relevance of physics is emphasised by its application to real environmental problems with a wide range of case studies. Applications included cover energy use and production, global climate, the physics of living things, radioactivity, environmental remote sensing, noise pollution and the physics of the Earth. The book makes the subject accessible to those with little physics background, keeping mathematical treatment straightforward. The text is lively and informative, and is supplemented by numerous illustrations, photos, tables of useful data, and a glossary of key terms.

How can greenhouse gases be controlled and reduced - will it be in time? This book adds a significant new contribution to the crucial climate change/global warming debate. It incorporates the key political and legal considerations into 'real world', applied economic analysis. The book's focus on the wider political economy of the problem is unique. All the key issues of controlling Climate Change (costs, timing and degree of stabilisation, ecological tax, role of developing countries, and evolution of international agreements) are placed firmly within the current legal and political economy context, with state of the art economic techniques introduced to analyse the different policy proposals. Covering both the developing and developed world, this book identifies important new policies to foster effective agreements on emmissions - realistic policies which are likely to receive actual support at both international and domestic levels.
