Originally published in 1902, this title was discovered as a
manuscript after the author's death and was published 4 years
later. David Kay published articles on various subjects and was one
of the sub-editors on the eighth edition of Encyclopaedia
Britannica. After writing an article on mnemonics he became very
interested in the subject of memory. He had already published a
title in 1888, Memory: What It Is, and How to Improve It, and this
volume was intended to build on that discussion. A great
opportunity to read one of the early discussions on human memory.

This book is the proceedings of the conference Faecal Indicators:
problem or solution? Has technical progress reduced the need for
faecal indicators? held on 6th to 8th June 2011 at Edinburgh
Conference Centre, Heriot Watt University, UK. It addresses
existing and emerging issues in environmental microbiology which in
turn offer exciting new challenges in microbiology, public health
and environmental science. The ultimate aim being to assist the
monitoring and modelling of environmental systems to protect human
health, animal welfare and environmental quality. With
contributions from leading scientists and experts in academia and
industry, it offers a truly international perspective on both
current research and our ability to respond with useful and
sustainable solutions to many of the emerging challenges of today's
modern communities. The conference featured two combative,
provocative and engaging debates examining the moral issues behind
the statements "What is a coliform and are coliforms relevant to
public health?" and "Do regulations help or hinder the innovation
in testing methods?." The reports of these questions are captured
in the book. The book appeals across the board from those working
in universities and research institutes to local governments, the
water and food industries, and health professionals.
Health Impact Assessment for Sustainable Water Management is a
pioneering international text, exploring and developing this
emerging discipline. It is the first to take an international
perspective seeking to draw generic lessons from both the developed
and developing nations' experience in this new area of activity.
The approach is being applied in policy development to strengthen
the 'evidence-base' and across a wide spectrum of resource
developments, industrial and urban infrastructure projects and in
'aid' projects in developing countries. This book illustrates the
importance of considering health in water management developments
and demonstrates the role of health impact assessment (HIA) in this
process. Case-studies illustrate a range of management approaches
to different system implementation issues and scale factors,
ranging from domestic rainwater harvesting for the supply of
non-potable water to a large-scale hydroelectric project. The
concept, objectives, terminology and challenges of HIA are
introduced and illustrated by case studies including rainwater
harvesting, greywater reuse, sustainable drainage and evaluations
of the health impacts of flooding. Developing country case studies
include a small-scale irrigation project in Zimbabwe, a large
hydro-electric scheme in Lao (Peoples Democratic Republic) and the
implementation issues surrounding the use of domestic wastewater as
a resource in demand by agricultural enterprises in Pakistan. The
case studies illustrate different HIA approaches, including the use
of quantitative and qualitative information and provide benchmarks
of current practice for practitioners seeking to apply HIA in the
emerging agendas in both developed and developing nations. The
critical appraisals within each chapter offer both best practice
exemplars as well as explanations of problems and mistakes of past
project implementation, and define the requirements for the policy
communities who will be increasingly required to accommodate HIA
information in resource allocation decisions. As a result, this
book will be of interest to planners, developers, policy makers,
public health, environmental and water utility scientists and
practitioners.
This concise biography surveys Jonson's career and provides an introduction to his works in the context of Jacobean politics, court patronage and his many literary rivalries. Stressing his wit and inventiveness, it explores the strategies by which he attempted to maintain his independence from the conditions of theatrical production and from his patrons and introduces new evidence that, despite his vaunted classicism, he repeatedly appropriated the matter or forms of other English writers in order to demonstrate his own artistic superiority.
