Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

- Key concepts videos support students from the start of every
chapter and as they make their way through every Module. -
Self-check questions at the end of each chapter section give
students quick and formative feedback, building their confidence
and comprehension as they study and revise. - Quantitative skills
video screencasts help students to master the foundational skills
required by this discipline. - Interactive figures give students
the control they need to step through, and gain mastery over, key
concepts. - Per-chapter flashcard glossaries help students to
recall the key terms and concepts on which further study can be

Love, Life, and Tragedy... The struggles we face can take many
forms, but the truth is, we all deal with them in different ways.
After many years of not having a concrete way of dealing with them,
the Author took it upon himself to carve out that path for himself.
Poetry blossomed, and it became a way of expressing the simple
truths of life. Paper shuffled, and it became the way to share
these truths with others. Come on a journey where life is explored
through poetry. Love, Life and Tragedy...
Between 1817 and 1898, New York City evolved from a vital Atlantic
port of trade to the center of American commerce and culture. With
this rapid commercial growth and cultural development, New York
came to epitomize a nineteenth-century metropolis. Although this
important urban transformation is well documented, the critical
role of select Union soldiers turned New York engineers has, until
now, remained largely unexplored. In Designing Gotham, Jon Scott
Logel examines the fascinating careers of George S. Greene, Egbert
L. Viele, John Newton, Henry Warner Slocum, and Fitz John Porter,
all of whom studied engineering at West Point, served in the United
States Army during the Civil War, and later advanced their civilian
careers and status through the creation of Victorian New York.
These influential cadets trained at West Point in the nation's
first engineering school, a program designed by Sylvanus Thayer and
Dennis Hart Mahan that would shape civil engineering in New York
and beyond. After the war, these industrious professionals
leveraged their education and military experience to wield
significant influence during New York's social, economic, and
political transformation. Logel examines how each engineer's Civil
War service shaped his contributions to postwar activities in the
city, including the construction of the Croton Aqueduct, the
creation of Central Park, and the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Logel also delves into the administration of New York's municipal
departments, in which Military Academy alumni interacted with New
York elites, politicians, and civilian-trained engineers. Examining
the West Pointers' experiences, as cadets, military officers during
the war, and New Yorkers, Logel assesses how these men impacted the
growing metropolis, the rise of professionalization, and the advent
of Progressivism at the end of the century.
Study and Communication Skills for the Biosciences is tailored

learning and revision, and how to get the most out of flipped
classrooms and interactive lectures.. The chapter on employability
has new content on technological change in the workplace, how to
perform well in a video interview, and how best to use online
networks for career advancement. A new section also explores how to
critically review a research paper. A new learning feature, 'Try
this for yourself', shows how you can apply the book's principles
to your own life and studies. Covering the full range of study and
communication skills that you need to study to succeed in your
studies, this book is essential reading for any bioscience student
who wants to get the most out of their degree.
Susan Brief is blond, attractive and just thirty-four. Her
relatively short life is full of tangled relations: Her son, Fred,
at thirteen is on the edge of, er, everything; her ex, the boozy
diehard Derek, is on the loose and after her. Then there's her zany
neighbours and her little 'surprise' daughter, Rosie. Enter Rachel,
Susan's adoptive sister. She's bright, beautiful well-built and...
black. Heads turn in the little Durham pit village of Upper
Kissing. Old attitudes, old politics and old clothes are thrown
aside. And in the maelstrom of emotions that follows, the Briefs -
Mackams to the core go for the scoreline and find unexpected
happiness. Beginning in a sauna and ending in a temple, this hugely
enjoyable saga of modern British life reflects what's strangest and
funniest about us: our hankering for the past, our unease about the
future, and our laughter along the way. Jon Scott lives in County
Durham, and is originally from Northern Ireland. As someone from a
working class background who was the first in his family to go to
university, he is well placed to write this novel. He is
twenty-something and single, but is seeking a woman to become his
wife.
