Rigorous treatments of issues related to congestion pricing are
described in this book. It examines recent advances in areas such
as mathematical and computational models for predicting traffic
congestion, determining when, where, and how much to levy tolls,
and analyzing the impact on transportation systems. The book
follows recent schemes judged to be successful in London,
Singapore, Norway, as well as a number of projects in the United
States.

This collection will draw attention to new ideas in both Victorian
studies and in the emerging area of literature and the environment.
Adopting a broad interpretation of the term 'environment' the work
aims to draw together new approaches to Victorian texts and
cultures that conceptualise and are influenced by environments
ranging from rural to urban, British to Antipodean, and from the
terrestrial to the aquatic.With the pressures of industrialism and
the clustering of workers in urban centres, the Victorians were
acutely aware that their environment was changing. Torn between
nostalgia for a countryside that was in jeopardy and exhilaration
at the rapidity with which their surroundings altered, the
literature and culture produced by the Victorians reflects a world
undergoing radical change. Colonization and assisted emigration
schemes expanded the scope of the environment still further,
pushing the boundaries of the 'home' on an unprecedented scale and
introducing strange new worlds. These untamed physical environments
enabled new freedoms, but also posed challenges that invited
attempts to control, taxonomize and harness the natural world.
Victorian Environments draws together leading and emerging
international scholars for an examination of how various kinds of
environments were constructed, redefined, and transformed, in
British and colonial texts and cultures, with particular attention
to the relationship between Australia and Britain.
Although transportation economists have advocated the tolling of
urbanstreets as a mechanism for controlling congestion and managing
traveldemands for over 50 years, it is only recently that this idea
hasbecome practical. When compared to the alternative of building
moreroads, congestion pricing - in particular via electronic
tolling - isattractive and has been adopted in countries around the
world. Recentimplementations in London, Singapore, and various
cities in Norway, as well as a number of projects in the United
States, have been judgedsuccessful. This book presents rigorous
treatments of issues relatedto congestion pricing. The chapters
describe recent advances in areassuch as mathematical and
computational models for predicting trafficcongestion, determining
when, where, and how much to levy tolls, andanalyzing the impact of
tolls on transportation systems
The popular Netflix series The Crown covers the tumultuous period
from the Queen’s accession in 1952 to the present day, and so
does this book, which explores the rise, decline and—to
some—unexpected rebound of the historic UK, Canada, Australia,
and New Zealand alliance. While a post-Brexit and post-Elizabethan
Britain seeks a new role in today’s volatile world, its
traditional partner countries also recognise the logic of
reinvigorating their relationship, based on a multitude of
still-strong cultural, economic, political, and military ties,
including the monarchy as a uniquely shared global, and not merely
British, institution. But this wasn’t always the case. Although
in the 1950s commentators spoke of a new "Elizabethan Age" with
much postwar hope across the Commonwealth, that optimism quickly
faded. By the 1970s, many thought Britain washed up and that Crown
and Commonwealth ties and allegiance were becoming obsolete.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the four countries increasingly went their
separate ways. So, a groggy time-traveller from that period
appearing in London, Toronto, Sydney, or Auckland today would be
taken by surprise by the durability of the Crown, even as it has
passed to King Charles, and the growing reconvergence of the four
"CANZUK" realms in terms of trade, defence, foreign policy
coordination, freedom of movement, mutual recognition of
professional qualifications, and other new or revived links. This
book evocatively tells the whole story of where we are, what’s
possible for the future, and not least how we got here. In
today’s age of global instability and raw power politics, this
renewed Anglosphere Crown Commonwealth alliance is more important
and relevant than ever.

A hero can save a nation, but only love can save a hero. In the
aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the US Navy is on the ropes in the
Pacific. Facing a seemingly-unstoppable Japanese juggernaut, the
Americans hatch a desperate plan to turn the tide of war. Cotton
and Silk is the World War II story of an intrepid American naval
officer and a mysterious Japanese woman willing to risk everything
to steal the secret behind the Emperor's military might. Their
perilous mission involves crossing the enemy-held Pacific,
infiltrating the Japanese homeland, and escaping through exotic
Mongolia and Siberia. And even if they have the cunning, courage,
and luck to pull off the heist and save America from defeat, in the
end they'll need something more to save themselves.
"An Owl's Whisper," a novel In the shadow of evil, truth is the
riskiest choice. Open "An Owl's Whisper" and enter Eva's world-one
of truth and lies, refuge and peril, loyalty and betrayal,
innocence...guilt...redemption. Eva Messiaen is a convent school
girl in 1940s Belgium when Hitler's invasion and occupation
eclipses continental Europe in a black shadow. Her controlling
guardian, Uncle Henri, calls childhood a weakness and orders that
she subvert her desire for a normal life to something nobler. To
the girls around her, Eva is a beacon of light, but they don't know
her dark secret. Eva can accept the loss of her childhood to the
savagery of war but an atrocity exposes the hollowness of Henri's
vision and changes everything. It shatters her fragile world and
spurs her to strike back at the Nazis. She has the moxie to set
their web of evil ablaze, but does she have the wits to escape its
flames unscorched? "An Owl's Whisper," built on themes of guilt and
redemption, tells Eva's powerful story.
