The British Palaeolithic provides the first academic synthesis
of the entire British Palaeolithic, from the earliest occupation
(currently understood to be around 980,000 years ago) to the end of
the Ice Age. Landscape and ecology form the canvas for an
explicitly interpretative approach aimed at understanding the how
different hominin societies addressed the issues of life at the
edge of the Pleistocene world. ?
Commencing with a consideration of the earliest hominin
settlement of Europe, the book goes on to examine the behavioural,
cultural and adaptive repertoires of the first human occupants of
Britain from an ecological perspective. These themes flow
throughout the book as it explores subsequent occupational pulses
across more than half a million years of Pleistocene prehistory,
which saw Homo heidelbergensis, the Neanderthals and ultimately
Homo sapiens walk these shores.?
The British Palaeolithic fills a major gap in teaching resources
as well as in research by providing a current synthesis of the
latest research on the period. This book represents the culmination
of 40 years combined research in this area by two well known
experts in the field, and is an important new text for students of
British archaeology as well as for students and researchers of the
continental Palaeolithic period.

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and critical
review coverage in major areas of chemical research. Compiled by
teams of leading authorities in the relevant subject, the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist with
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. Subject coverage of all volumes is very similar and
publication is on an annual or biennial basis. There is an
increasing challenge for chemical industry and research
institutions to find cost-effective and environmentally sound
methods of converting natural resources into fuels, chemicals and
energy. Catalysts are essential to these processes and the
Catalysis Specialist Periodical Report series serves to highlight
major developments in this area. This series provides systematic
and detailed reviews of topics of interest to scientists and
engineers in the catalysis field. The coverage includes all major
areas of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis as well as
specific applications of catalysis such as NOx control, kinetics
and experimental techniques such as microcalorimetry. Each chapter
is compiled by recognised experts within their specialist fields,
and provides a summary of the current literature. This series will
be of interest to all those in academia and industry who need an
up-to-date critical analysis and summary of catalysis research and
applications. Volume 21 covers literature published during 2006.

In this retelling of Aesop's fable, a smart wolf is too clever for
his own good. When he pretends to be a sheep so he can find his
supper, things do not go as planned.
A review of the rich and diverse evidence for understanding past
climate and environmental change in the Thames Valley, and the
effects on plant and animal populations and the challenges and
opportunities these presented to early humans. Part 1 of this
volume covers the Pleistocene, the epoch of the Ice Ages, in an
integrated review of the geological, palaeontological and
archaeological data for the last half million years and more. Part
2 takes up the story from the beginning of the Holocene, the warm
period in which we are still living, which began around 11,500
years ago. The authors review the evidence for early
hunter-gatherer populations in the Mesolithic, the gradually
increasing impact of humans in the region in the Neolithic and
early Bronze Age and their rich social lives and belief systems.
Much of the evidence has been recovered during extensive gravel
quarrying. The volume is excellently illustrated with colour and
line illustrations and maps.
(Berklee Guide). Learn the essential tools and skills for playing
jazz guitar. This practical guidebook will help you master the

A poor self-image. Chronic depression. A bitter divorce. The trauma
of sexual abuse. Why do some wounds fester and refuse to heal, even
after we seek help from those who specialize in treating deep
emotional pain? Kraft believes that in order to experience real and
lasting freedom from a painful past, we must understand the
powerful link between spiritual warfare and inner healing. It is
only when we recognize and reject the enemy's influence on our most
hurtful memories that we can receive complete restoration in mind,
heart, and spirit. Deep Wounds, Deep Healing is a complete guide to
deep-level healing. Whether readers are seeking restoration for
themselves or for those under their care, this book will enable
them to recognize the spiritual roots of emotional wounds and
invite God's presence into those darkest of places. His power is
the hope of freedom and inner healing.
This book introduces the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant--in
particular, the concepts of autonomy, dignity, and character--to
economic theory, explaining the importance of integrating these two
streams of intellectual thought. Mainstream economics is rooted in
classical utilitarianism, recommending that decision makers choose
the options that are expected to generate the largest net benefits.
For individuals, the standard economic model fails to incorporate
the role of principles in decision-making, and also denies the
possibility of true choice, which can be independent of preferences
and principles altogether. For policymakers, standard
decision-making frameworks recommend tradeoffs that are beneficial
in terms of material goods or wealth, but may be morally
questionable from a more person-centered perspective.
Integrating Kantian ethics affects economics in three important
ways. This integration allows for a more complete understanding of
human choice, incorporating not just preferences and constraints,
but also principles and strength of will or character. It
demonstrates the broader impact of welfare economics, which
generates policies that affect not only persons' well-being, but
also their dignity and autonomy. Finally, it reconciles the
traditional, individualist stance in economic models of choice with
the social responsibility emphasized by many systems of
philosophical ethics and heterodox schools of economics.
Presidential Image has become an integral part of the campaign,
presidency and legacy of Modern American presidents. Across the
20th century to the age of Trump, presidential image has dominated
media coverage and public consciousness, winning elections, gaining
support for their leadership in office and shaping their reputation
in history. Using ten presidential case studies. this edited
collection features contributions from scholars and political
journalists from the UK and America, to analyse aspects of
Presidential Image that shaped their perceived effectiveness as
America's leader, and to explore this complex, controversial, and
continuous element of modern presidential politics.
From humble beginnings, Kenneth Branagh drove himself to dizzy
heights of accomplishment. With a West End hit at twenty-one, a
lead with the RSC by twenty-three and his own theatre company by
twenty-six, no actor of his generation achieved so much so rapidly.
And yet no actor has received such relentless criticism. Based on
extensive research and numerous interviews, Mark White traces the
vicissitudes of Branagh's career, examining his meteoric rise and
the accompanying backlash.

carefully conceived public relations strategy or result of the
president's critics and opponents? Can the way the media interpret
a presidents' actions and words alter their image? And how much
influence do cultural outputs contribute to the construction of a
presidential image? Using ten presidential case studies. this

During his lifetime, John F. Kennedy created a dazzling image that
has been sustained since his assassination in 1963. This book
examines how Kennedy succeeded in using his military service in
World War II, his literary efforts, his sex appeal, his family and
other attributes and achievements to develop such a potent image.
It also explores the roles played by Joseph and Jackie Kennedy in
bolstering his appeal. Probably no other figure in history has
created such a positive impression on people throughout the world
today than Kennedy. This book seeks to explain how this happened,
and to consider the extent to which the image conformed to the
reality of the man.
