"Environmental Engineering: Fundamentals, Sustainability, Design
"presents civil engineers with an introduction to chemistry and
biology, through a mass and energy balance approach. ABET required
topics of emerging importance, such as sustainable and global
engineering are also covered. Problems, similar to those on the FE

with the National Academy of Engineering's focus on managing carbon
and nitrogen, the 2nd edition now includes a section on advanced
technologies to more effectively reclaim nitrogen and phosphorous.
Additionally, readers have immediate access to web modules, which
address a specific topic, such as water and wastewater treatment.
These modules include media rich content such as animations, audio,
video and interactive problem solving, as well as links to
explorations. Civil engineers will gain a global perspective,
developing into innovative leaders in sustainable development.
After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a
devastating bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to
find his perfectly ordered world has collapsed. A sniper attack. An
ambush. A call for help that brings French SWAT forces down on his
head. Ben is out. This is a severance--reserved for incompetents
and traitors. Searching for answers and anticipating a coming
attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel
across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic
who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an
upstart hacker from his former team. More than that, Ben must come
to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop
Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward
without him--and he struggles against the infection that is swiftly
claiming territory within his own body. Award-winning author James
R. Hannibal ratchets up the tension on every page of this
suspenseful new thriller.
Dr. Peter Chesterfield is one of the Royal London Hospital's top
neurosurgeons. He is also a workaholic, ordered by his boss to take
a week off to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium
Grand on the island of Maui. While there, Peter pulls a woman with
a skull fracture from the water. Though he is able to revive her in
the ambulance, she eventually dies in his arms, leaving him with
only one clue to what happened to her: the word "honu."
Increasingly obsessed with discovering the cause of his patient's
death, Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation of a
brazen luxury auto theft. He also becomes a source of deep
irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the
case. But when the two join forces, they begin to uncover a
destructive plot that runs far deeper than either of them could
have imagined. And if they're not careful, they're both going to
end up dead. Award-winning author James R. Hannibal whisks you away
to the deadly beauty of Hawaii for a story of greed, violence, and
justice that will leave you breathless.

the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject

and a fundamental value of nations large and small, and how this
global jurisprudence is redefining the relationship between
individuals and the state. Key features include: Analyses of cases
from a range of jurisdictions all over the world A history of the
shift of the concept of dignity from a philosophical idea to a
legally enforceable right Discussion of dignity as a value and a
right in different major legal contexts, and its roots in African,
Asian, European and Islamic traditions. This Advanced Introduction

those interested in human rights, looking to understand this
emerging area of law. It will inform lawyers, judges, policymakers
and other advocates interested in how dignity and the law can be
used to protect everyone, including the most vulnerable among us.

This introductory guide to grammar explains one hundred basic
grammatical terms. A knowledge of such terms, and how they
interconnect, is crucial for an understanding of the structure and
function of language. The explanations are listed alphabetically
for easy reference, like a dictionary, but offer much more than a
simple definition. Each entry is divided into sections, providing a
clear explanation, examples, exercises, and highlighting the main
contrasts and interrelationships between the terms. Many entries
contain a ?for interest? section which sets out further fascinating
points, often drawing on some of the more exotic languages of the
world, or discussing important contemporary issues, such as
dialects, standard language, and sexism in language. Clearly
written and easy to use, this book will be an invaluable source of
information for students of language and linguistics.
 Hilarious stories and advice about the ups and downs of
growing up, from popular YouTube artist and storyteller, James
Rallison. Like any shy teen turned young adult, YouTube star James
Rallison ("The Odd 1s Out") is used to being on the outside looking
in. He wasn't partying in high school or winning football games
like his older brother. Instead, he posted comics on the Internet.
Now, he's ready to share his hard-earned advice from his 21 years
of life in the funny, relatable voice his fans love. In this
illustrated collection, Rallison tells his own stories of growing
up as the "odd one out": in art class with his twin sister (she was
more talented), in the middle school locker room, and up to one
strange year of college (he dropped out). Each story is filled with
the little lessons he picked up along the way, serious and
otherwise, like: How to be cool (in seventh grade) Why it's OK to
be second-best at something, and How to survive your first,
confidence-killing job interviews. Filled with fan-favourite comics
and never-before-seen material, this tongue-in-cheek take on some
of the weirdest, funniest parts of life is perfect for both avid
followers and new converts.
