Benedict Read died suddenly on 20 October 2016. His influence on
art-history in the field of sculpture, and his ground-breaking
authoritative volume, Victorian Sculpture (1982) were hugely
important. He was instrumental in bringing about a sea-change in
academic attitudes towards both the nineteenth century and to
sculpture. This memorial Festschrift published by the PMSA of which
Ben was a founder, former Chairman and trustee, celebrates his
academic achievement, his considerable contribution to scholarship
and the generosity of spirit with which he shared his knowledge. It
is a powerful testament to the inspiration of a remarkable person.
Sculpting Art History: Essays in Memory of Benedict Read contains
30 essays by friends, former students and colleagues - James Lomax,

The merger of two successful events to form the 30th International
Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air and Water
Pollution provided the papers that are published in this volume.
Many important air pollution issues are discussed, demonstrating
the widespread nature of the air pollution phenomena and the
in-depth exploration required to address their impacts on human
health and the environment. In addition, the topic of Water
Pollution is discussed in a number of contexts across different
areas of water contamination. The environmental problems caused by
the increase of pollutant loads discharged into natural water
bodies requires the formation of a framework for regulation and
control. This framework needs to be based on scientific results
that relate pollutant discharge with changes in water quality. The
results of these studies allow the industry to apply more efficient
methods of controlling and treating waste loads, and water
authorities to enforce appropriate regulations regarding this
matter. Environmental problems are essentially interdisciplinary.
Engineers and scientists working in this field must be familiar
with a wide range of issues including the physical processes of
mixing and dilution, chemical and biological processes,
mathematical modelling, data acquisition and measurement, to name
but a few. In view of the scarcity of available data, it is
important that experiences are shared on an international basis.
Thus, a continuous exchange of information between scientists from
different countries is essential.
I lived in a town in the county of Surrey called Addlestone. This
is getting bigger every year because of the building of houses and
the growth of the population of people, but everything has to
change, doesn't it? When I get to the stage of going gray, I will
go gray naturally and not bother hiding it because I think that
going gray is part of growing older, and that is part of life. This
is my life story.
I hope that this book gives inspiration to other disabled
people..............
