This book includes contributions from academics, artists and
heritage practitioners, the volume explores decolonial heritage
practices in politics, contemporary history, diplomacy, museum
practice, the visual arts and self-generated memorial expressions
in public spaces. The comparative focus of the chapters includes
examples of internal colonization in Europe and extends to former
European colonies, among them Shanghai, Cape Town, and Rio de
Janeiro. Examining practices in a range of different contexts, the
book pays particular attention to sub-national actors whose work is
opening up new futures through their engagement with decolonial
heritage practices in the present. The volume also considers the
challenges posed by applying decolonial thinking to existing
understandings of colonial heritage. This book examines the role of
colonial heritage in European memory politics and heritage
diplomacy. It will be of interest to academics and students working
in the fields of heritage and memory studies, colonial and imperial
history, European studies, sociology, cultural studies, development
studies, museum studies, and contemporary art.

This book presents and describes an innovative method to simulate
the growth of natural fractural networks in different geological
environments, based on their geological history and fundamental
geomechanical principles. The book develops techniques to simulate
the growth and interaction of large populations of layer-bound
fracture directly, based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and
subcritical propagation theory. It demonstrates how to use these
techniques to model the nucleation, propagation and interaction of
layer-bound fractures in different orientations around large scale
geological structures, based on the geological history of the
structures. It also explains how to use these techniques to build
more accurate discrete fracture network (DFN) models at a
reasonable computational cost. These models can explain many of the
properties of natural fracture networks observed in outcrops, using
actual outcrop examples. Finally, the book demonstrates how it can
be incorporated into flow modelling workflows using subsurface
examples from the hydrocarbon and geothermal industries. Modelling
the Evolution of Natural Fracture Networks will be of interest to
anyone curious about understanding and predicting the evolution of
complex natural fracture networks across large geological
structures. It will be helpful to those modelling fluid flow
through fractures, or the geomechanical impact of fracture
networks, in the hydrocarbon, geothermal, CO2 sequestration,
groundwater and engineering industries.

This pocket-sized guide describes car tours, picnic places and
walks throughout south-central Andalucia: the Alpujarra, Granada
and the Sierra Nevada, the Axarquia, Antequera and the Torcal
Natural Park, the El Chorro Nature Reserve, the Sierra de Mijas,
Sierra de las Nieves, Ronda and the Sierra de
Grazalema.------------------- It captures the very essence of this
most evocative part of Spain. An ever-changing landscape awaits
your discovery whether you are driving or walking - from the 'white
villages' and ancient towns to the never-ending sierras,
razor-sharp gorges and gentle verdant valleys.---------------All
the tours and walks are easily accessed from the popular Costa del
Sol resorts. Since many people will explore Andalucia by car, most
of the walks are circular. But for those without a car, there are
timetables for local transport. The guide includes fold-out touring
maps and large-scale (1:50,000) topographical walking
maps.------------7 car tours, 40 long and short walks, 23 picnic
suggestions. Plan of Marbella. Free online update service with
specific route change information on the publisher's website,
maintained daily.- --------------The 'Landscapes' series, with 50
destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times
and led to Sunflower coming third out of a field of 15 publishers
in the 2014 Holiday Which? travel guide roundup.-------------The
lowdown on how to get the best out of ...the countryside. (Sunday
Times)-------------The guide covers areas up to two hours' drive
both north and south of Malaga. We spent a week in Competa, one
hour northwest of Malaga, and used the guide for touring and walks.
The car tours are easy to follow and informative. The walking
details are excellent (Peter M, Amazon) ---------------
Indispensable for a first visit...Without the book I would never
have found these [walks] (GW, Amazon)
