Is it not generally believed that our town is a healthy place . . .

the town, or the 'nerve centre' . . . Do you know what they are in

up in Melledal, where there's such an awful stench - it's all
seeping into the pipes that lead to the pump-room! Henrik Ibsen, An
Enemy of the People, 1882 Henrik Ibsen gave the 'truth about
mineral water' more than 100 years ago in An Enemy of the People.
His examples came not from the decadent bathing spas of Bohemia or
Victorian Britain, but from the very edge of polite society,
subarctic Norway! His masterpiece illustrates the central role that
groundwaters and, in particular, mineral waters have played in the
history of humanity: their economic importance for towns, their
magnetism for pilgrims searching for cures, the political
intrigues, the arguments over purported beneficent or maleficent
health effects and, finally, their contami nation by anthropogenic
activity, in Ibsen's case by wastes from a tannery. This book
addresses the occurrence, properties and uses of mineral and
thermal groundwaters. The use of these resources for heating,
personal hygiene, curative and recreational purposes is deeply
integrated in the history of civilization.

This authoritative guide provides a basis for understanding the
emerging technology of ground source heating and cooling. It equips
engineers, geologists, architects, planners and regulators with the
fundamental skills needed to manipulate the ground's huge capacity
to store, supply and receive heat, and to implement technologies
(such as heat pumps) to exploit that capacity for space heating and
cooling.
The author has geared the book towards understanding ground
source heating and cooling from the ground side (the geological
aspects), rather than solely the building aspects. He explains the
science behind thermogeology and offers practical guidance on
different design options.
"An Introduction to Thermogeology: ground source heating and
cooling" is aimed primarily at professionals whose skill areas
impinge on the emerging technology of ground source heating and
cooling. They will be aware of the importance of the technology and
wish to rapidly acquire fundamental theoretical understanding and
design skills.
This second edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded to
cover new technical developments and now includes end-of-chapter
study questions to test the reader's understanding.
The untold story of Point Frederick, where early nineteenth-century
Canadians built warships that stopped invasion and brought peace.
Warriors and Warships brings to life a much neglected part of
Canada's military history, covering the warships and the people who
built them at Point Frederick from the late eighteenth century to
the mid-nineteenth century. Opposite Kingston, Point Frederick was
the 1789 dockyard home of the Provincial Marine on Lake Ontario and
the headquarters of Britain's Royal Navy from 1813 to 1853. Today,
it is the home of the Royal Military College of Canada. In this
detailed narrative, with over one hundred colour archival maps,
aerial views, photographs, and 3D reconstructions, Banks recounts
Point Frederick's building of great sail and steam warships and the
roles these vessels played in conflict on Lake Ontario, the St.
Lawrence River, and Niagara. Among the conflicts is the War of
1812, when French Canadian and British shipwrights made warships
that forced the U.S. Navy into port and led to the American
withdrawal from Canada. Banks also covers the role of the ships in
the settlement of Upper Canada, the rebellion of 1837, the early
planning of the Rideau Canal, and the beginning of the undefended
border. Along the way, Banks introduces an array of people from
Upper Canada, such as Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe and
his wife, Elizabeth Posthuma; Governor General Lord Dorchester;
General Isaac Brock; Sir James Yeo, and even Charles Dickens. He
also describes the day-to-day activities at Point Frederick, beyond
shipbuilding and military campaigns, such as skating parties,
sleigh rides, theatricals, disease and death, and crime and
punishment. Banks shares the moments of hardship, triumph, and
tragedy of both the warriors and the warships in this important
contribution to Canadian history.

A framework for weaving common threads into an artful solution
Rather than buying individual books about professional learning
communities (PLCs), differentiated instruction (DI), and Response
to Intervention (RTI), invest wisely in one resource that
synthesizes all three. The text uses a tapestry analogy to weave
these critical topics together to form a comprehensive framework
for achieving continuous school improvement. The result is a
stronger foundation for administrators' leadership direction and
teachers' instructional decisions based on: - Utilizing PLCs as the
framework for sharing new strategies and understandings -
Discussing data collected through assessments - Evaluating data
against benchmarks Included are walk-through checklists,
learning-style surveys, examples, and vignettes that illustrate
practical strategies for integrating DI and RTI and collaborating
with colleagues to assess student learning and adapt instruction
and interventions. This timely resource efficiently provides all
the information you need to optimize instruction for outstanding
results.
