An analysis of the condition of the oil industry at the start of
the 21st century. It demonstrates that the chief concern of the
industry over the next couple of decades will not be its
availability but its acceptability. Having dominated the 20th
century, playing a crucial role in industrial development, oil now
faces an unprecedented series of challenges: as a major polluter,
it faces competition from other energy sources - gas and renewables
- and ever more stringent regulation and control, with higher
taxes. Faced with these pressures, the oil companies are
repositioning themselves as energy industries - and oil is certain
to have a diminishing share in their portfolio of fuels.;The
implications are enormous, given the current dependence on oil of
so much industry and government revenue. This book should be useful
to all those involved with oil, from industry professionals to
competitors, commentators, investors, managers, politicians and
regulators, as well as more general readers.
This is an essential reference for describing, measuring and
classifying the foliage of flowering plants. The presented system
provides long-needed guidelines for characterizing the
organization, shape, venation, and surface features of angiosperm
leaves. In contrast to systems focusing on reproductive characters
for identification, the emphasis is on macroscopic features of the
leaf blade including leaf characters, venation, and tooth
characters. The advantage of this system is that it allows for the
classification of plants independently of their flowers, which is
especially useful for fossil leaves (usually found in isolation)
and tropical plants (whose flowering cycles are brief and
irregular, and whose fruits and flowers may be difficult to
access). An illustrated terminology including detailed definitions
and annotated illustrations is the focus of the classification
system, the aim of which is to provide a framework with comparative
examples to allow both modern and fossil leaves to be described and
classified consistently.
No matter what you teach, there is a 100 Ideas title for you! The
100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement
strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an
expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice
with their peers. Each title includes at least ten additional
extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage
all learners. _______________ The word 'revision' can strike fear
into the heart of teachers and students alike! The exam cycle in
today's modern education system can feel relentless, resulting in
students suffering from information overload and exam fatigue. But
it doesn't have to be like this! John Mitchell strongly believes
that revision can be an opportunity to deepen students'
understanding of a topic in an innovative, collaborative, and fun
way - you just need to think outside the box! In this brilliant
book, John Mitchell offers a diverse range of activities, games,
tips and tricks that teachers can use in the classroom to help
guide students through this stressful period. By combing theory
with strategies tried and tested in the classroom, it will help
teachers to create a culture where students are encouraged to
review and reinforce their learning. This consistent approach means
that revision becomes an everyday process rather than one that is
just used in the run up to exams. From adaptations of well-known
games, such as Connect Four and Runaround, to brand new activities,
there are ideas that are suitable for very learning style and
subject. All of this will help you to prepare students for exams
effectively, alleviate stress, and reintroduce fun into your
revision sessions.
This monumental 1849 publication was the first detailed analysis to
compare Anglo-Saxon institutions with those of other Germanic
peoples. The philologist and historian Kemble (1807 57) was born
into a renowned family of actors, trained at Cambridge for both the
bar and the church, but devoted his career to Germanic philology
and Old English. His studies resulted in several books including a
Beowulf edition (1833), a pioneering six-volume edition of
Anglo-Saxon charters (Codex Diplomaticus Aevi Saxonici, 1839 48),
and the posthumous Horae Ferales (1863), together with articles and
translations in periodicals. He also corresponded for many years
with Jacob Grimm. The Saxons drew heavily on Kemble's work on the
charters. This, the first of two volumes, argues for the early
presence of the Saxons in Britain and investigates their laws and
institutions, emphasising the relationship between land ownership
and rank in the Anglo-Saxon social order.

focusing on the powers and functions of the king, the ruling elite
and the clergy, the role of the urban and rural population, and the
situation of the poor.

Mitchel's account of the Repeal campaign, the Famine and the 1848
Rising, which originally appeared in Mitchel's Tennessee-based
newspaper, The Southern Citizen, in 1858. Mitchel was a significant
and controversial figure. Last Conquest, originally written as a
riposte to American Nativist hostility to Famine immigrants, is
well known in Famine debates for its claim that the Famine was a
deliberate act of genocide by the British government.
Published in six volumes between 1839 and 1848, this was the first
collected edition of the surviving corpus of Anglo-Saxon charters,
comprising royal diplomas in Latin, and a variety of documents
(wills, writs, etc.) in the vernacular (Old English). John Mitchell
Kemble (1807-57) collected his material from many different places
(the British Museum, the Tower of London, cathedral archives,
college libraries, and various private collections), and arranged
it as best he could in chronological order. He believed
passionately that he was laying foundations for a new history of
the English people, and built on this research in The Saxons in
England (1849), also reissued in this series. Volume 1 of the Codex
(1839) contains texts from the seventh, eighth and early ninth
centuries. It includes Kemble's pioneering account of the
principles for assessing the authenticity of Anglo-Saxon charters,
and a new preface by Simon Keynes introducing this landmark work.
