With growing public pressure and increasingly stringent
environmental legislation, the waste industry is now being called
upon to develop more sustainable methods of dealing with refuse.
Coupled with moves to reduce reliance on landfill as a disposal
route, biological treatment will increasingly become adopted as a
standard requirement for the vast majority of putrescible wastes.
Biowaste and Biological Waste Treatment examines the present, and
likely future, state of biological waste treatment. The book falls
naturally into three parts. The first covers the nature of
biowaste, waste treatment in general and the regulatory framework
which governs it. The second looks at the technologies and
approaches available, while the final part examines the various
policy questions and local, social and economic factors which
affect the implementation of biowaste initiatives.
The UN's record in peace operations is long, various, distinguished
by both accomplishments and failures, and most importantly,
innovative. Unfulfilled expectations and escalating violence in
Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia forced retrenchment upon UN peace
operations_but at the same time, a new opportunity to enhance
capacities, review strategies, redefine roles, and reaffirm
responsibilities has opened up. Here, a dynamic group of leading
diplomats, academics, and journalists combines forces with UN
policymakers and leaders including current Secretary-General Kofi
Annan and former Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to explore
how the international community can improve its practice in
negotiating and implementing peace. They look at what works and
what doesn't in UN peacemaking and peacekeeping, and then map out
alternative futures for UN action in the 21st century.
Visual images play an integral part in the surveying, development
and sale of a property. However, obtaining high quality images can
often prove a challenging task. Photography for Surveyors provides
even the most amateur photographer with the skills required to
produce the highest quality images in the day to day surveying
environment. With the increasing importance of the visual portfolio
and online presence, this book is an essential guide for all those
professionals looking to enhance their skills with a camera, and
subsequently raise their professional profile.
"Never again " the world has vowed time and again since the
Holocaust. Yet genocide, ethnic cleansing, and other mass atrocity
crimes continue to shock our consciences --from the killing fields
of Cambodia to the machetes of Rwanda to the agony of Darfur.
Gareth Evans has grappled with these issues firsthand. As
Australian foreign minister, he was a key broker of the United
Nations peace plan for Cambodia. As president of the International
Crisis Group, he now works on the prevention and resolution of
scores of conflicts and crises worldwide. The primary architect of
and leading authority on the Responsibility to Protect ("R2P"), he
shows here how this new international norm can once and for all
prevent a return to the killing fields.
"The Responsibility to Protect" captures a simple and powerful
idea. The primary responsibility for protecting its own people from
mass atrocity crimes lies with the state itself. State sovereignty
implies responsibility, not a license to kill. But when a state is
unwilling or unable to halt or avert such crimes, the wider
international community then has a collective responsibility to
take whatever action is necessary. R2P emphasizes preventive action
above all. That includes assistance for states struggling to
contain potential crises and for effective rebuilding after a
crisis or conflict to tackle its underlying causes. R2P's primary
tools are persuasion and support, not military or other coercion.
But sometimes it is right to fight: faced with another Rwanda, the
world cannot just stand by.
R2P was unanimously adopted by the UN General Assembly at the
2005 World Summit. But many misunderstandings persist about its
scope and limits. And much remains to be done to solidify political
support and to build institutional capacity. Evans shows,
compellingly, how big a break R2P represents from the past, and
how, with its acceptance in principle and effective application in
practice, the promise of "Never again " can at last become a
reality.

Moveable guitar chord shapes based on the CAGED guitar system.
Rather than presenting the same shapes as different chords when
moved up or down the fret-board, Chords for Guitar is a reference
of over 200 unique shapes for more chord types (just over 60) from
the commonly used chords such as major, minor, sus2, sus4, add9 and
7th chords to further extended chords, altered chords and
inversions, enabling you to find many more chords yourself and get
a better understanding of the fret-board. The root note location
within all of the guitar chords is clearly marked out enabling you
to transpose its moveable shape up and down the fret-board. Each
chord type has a question to make sure you're on track to being
able to locate guitar chords yourself; shift the root note to its
note name location (e.g. C, F#, G etc.) apply the chord shape, then
check the answer at the back. Theory and chord construction are
explained using piano keys for the simplicity of its linear layout
of notes, then applied to the six-string guitar, from the basics of
using odd numbered intervals (e.g. 1, 3, 5 etc.) to the compound
intervals within extended chords and alterations.

"A History of Wales, 1906-2000" is the fourth volume in a series
beginning in 1485. This invaluable survey examines the main
economic, social, political and cultural developments of hte last
century in Wales. Wales has undergone sweeping changes during the
twentieth century, with the decline of those powerful forces which
once shaped Welsh life--agriculture, industry and religion--and the
emergence of a Europeanized, devolved Wales towards the beginning
of the new millennium. "A History of Wales, 1906-2000 "presents a
chronological overview of this century of change in terms not only
of economic, social and political activity but also of religion,
education and culture in Wales. As the first book to analyse the
whole of the twentieth century in Wales, this pioneering study will
appeal to students and academics as well as to non-specialists who
want a clear, concise and comprehensive history of
twentieth-century Wales.
