This volume provides an introduction for flood risk management practitioners, up-to-date methods for analysis of uncertainty and its use in risk-based decision making. It addresses decision making for both short term (real-time forecasting) and long term (flood risk planning under change) situations. It aims primarily at technical practitioners involved in flood risk analysis and flood warning, including hydrologists, engineers, flood modelers, risk analysts and those involved in the design and operation of flood warning systems. Many experienced practitioners are now expected to modify their way of working to fit into the new philosophy of flood risk management. This volume helps them to undertake that task with appropriate attention to the surrounding uncertainties. The book will also interest and benefit researchers and graduate students hoping to improve their knowledge of modern uncertainty analysis.

The seventh volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation.

Online journalism is revolutionizing the way news is reported and read. The rise of the Internet has forever changed the way audiences interact with the news--stories are posted the moment they break and readers routinely expect to be able to access both the news sources and local perspectives. Online news and the media juggernauts who own it raise a number of urgent questions about accuracy, press autonomy, freedom of speech, and economic exclusion.Jim Hall provides a comprehensive guide to the emerging field of cyberjournalism and examines the issues it raises. Looking at how interactive texts are both written and read, the book surveys the new technologies and conventions that online journalism has ushered in. The author uses case studies such as Monicagate and the war in Kosovo to illustrate both the opportunities and the limitations of cyberjournalism.It is designed as a text to introduce how cyberjournalism works and how it can be used in innovative ways. For scholars and students of the media and cultural studies, "Online Journalism" is indispensable.

I've adapted coaching into "coaching buttons," where I use an available opportunity to do a brief coaching conversation with someone. The coaching button is a short coaching moment that sticks with your listener. Like the button on a shirt or coat, a coaching button doesn't do the whole job, but over time as you use more coaching buttons, the whole picture comes together. They key is to make these coaching buttons easily understood and memorable, so they are able to stand on their own and be part of a larger story. This book is a collection of essays about various topics on leadership and vision in information technology. As each essay presents an individual lesson about leadership, each can be viewed as a coaching button on that topic. By reading this book, I hope the coaching buttons will provide some insight on how to be a leader, how to lead through change, and how to do strategic planning. These are the essentials of good leadership.

A concise compilation of logical and reasonable responses to Christian apologetic claims. This book will be of use to anyone who debates with Christians. It offers "old hands" a reminder of some of the arguments they may have forgotten, and maybe provides some new ones. It offers newcomers to the debate the common sense and rationality that is atheism and very good advice on how to keep control of theists who attempt to veer off the point or steer their rudders toward safer waters.
