Best of 2000 ADÂ is a landmark series from the cult comic,
bursting with our greatest stories for a new generation of readers.
Every Best of 2000 ADÂ contains a mix of modern classics and
gems from the vault. In each edition you'll find an explosive new
Judge Dredd adventure, fresh essays by prominent popular culture
writers, a graphic novel-length feature presentation by global
legends and a vintage Dredd case. In this volume: When Judge Dredd
investigates a potential whistleblower, it’s hard to avoid
paranoia when information is this Mega-City Confidential; from
medieval Prague to the streets of Elizabethan London, Kek-W and
John Burns sound the call to battle extra-dimensional Wurms and
join The Order; a rolling stone gathers no mousse as Pete Milligan
and Jamie Hewlett tangle you in Hewligan’s Haircut, a shear
reality-warping victory roll that’s just the tonic; quake to the
Cry of the Werewolf with an all-time Dredd classic by Alan Grant
and Steve Dillon. Boasting brand new covers from an all-star
line-up of artists including Marguerite Sauvage (Archie) and Glyn
Dillon (The Batman) with designer Tom Muller (X-Men), Best of 2000
AD is the essential gateway into the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
Opening with his award of Membership of the Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons, the book relates John's personal and family
history from his English and Belgian parents and grandparents and
their roles in two World Wars. His Belgian grandparents were
evacuated to England in the first war: his father was shot at by
the Germans during the liberation of Antwerp and his mother bombed
in a pub in South London while serving in the London Auxiliary
Ambulance Service in the second. Managing to get into veterinary
college from a large comprehensive school in South London, John
recounts tales from his studies and goes on to discuss various
major debates which occurred during his career, including
vaccinations and the anti-vaccine lobby. The role of badgers and TB
is also discussed. The tale of his experience of meeting children
with the drug-induced injury of thalidomide is both life-affirming
and tear-jerking. His time in East Africa, including his
experiences in Uganda under Idi Amin's dictatorship, is chilling
but still funny and up-lifting. The tales of his experiences in
general and specialist veterinary practice, with memorable farm,
horse, dog and cat cases are enlightening, educational and
sometimes sad but often very hilarious. The horrific experiences
with foot-and-mouth disease will get any animal lover in tears and
questioning what happened and why? But the option of a Vegan Utopia
in a world without farm animals is dismissed as a sad alternative
as demonstrated when large swathes of the United Kingdom were left
without stock after the outbreak.
Presented by gourmet chef Shane Sauvage, the recipes in the title
are guaranteed to be the talking point of any dinner party. Amazing

even the most curious cook, fill the pages of this title with
vibrancy and excitement. Easy-to-follow recipes, accompanied by
detailed photographs of each step in the creative process, make
fusion cooking far less daunting than one might imagine. Twelve
years of experience on the cutting edge of South African cuisine
has given Sauvage all the creativity and knowledge necessary to
impart an enormous wealth of information to the budding fusion
cook. Colourfully narrated in the author's idiomatic style, The
Edge of Fusion will draw you to your kitchen and keep you there for
hours.

The Morrison Hotel anthology written by Leah Moore, in
collaboration with the surviving members of the legendary rock band
and drawn by artists from around the comic book world, will weave
the band's influence into some of the lore that led to their status
as the architects of counterculture, influencing artists, poets,
and outsiders for generations to come, set against the backdrop of
the close of the free spirit of the 1960s into the tumultuous
1970s. A decade in which women, African Americans, Native
Americans, gays, lesbians and other marginalized people continued
their fight for equality, and many Americans joined the protest
against the ongoing war in Vietnam.

The present NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Cargese
(Corsica) from June 3rd to June 7th, 1991, was devoted to Nuclear
Shapes and Nuclear Structure at Low Excitation Energies. We tried
to organize the Workshop to facilitate the exchange of information
in a rapidly moving field, where theorists and experimentalists are
continuously developing and implementing new and powerful
techniques in order, both to improve our knowledge and
understanding of already known areas and to open completely new and
fascinating frontier domains, as for example in the case of the
recent discovery of Superdeformations. The informal atmosphere of
Cargese contributed to easy contacts and scientific exchanges and
to relaxed - although fruitful and sometimes passionate -
discussions. We would like to express our gratitude to NATO for its
financial support which made this Workshop possible. We acknowledge
the support of the Institut de Physique Nucleaire et de Physique
des Particules (France), the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique
(France), and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique -
Mathematiques et Physique de Base (France). Our special
appreciation is due to Frederique Dykstra and Josepha Nsair for
their outstanding organizational work throughout the preparation
and duration of this conference. We want to acknowledge at this
occasion the help of many people from the departments of the
Institut de Physique Nucleaire of Orsay. It is also a pleasure to
thank the Universite de Nice for making available the facilities of
the Cargese Scientific Institute.
A revolution similar to that brought by CCDs to visible astronomy
is still ahead in IR and submillimeter astronomy. There is
certainly no wavelength range which has, over the past several
years, seen such impressive advances in technology: large-scale
detector arrays, new designs for cooling in space, lightweight
mirror technologies. Scientific cases for observing the cold
universe are outstanding. Observations in the FIR/Submm range will
provide answers to such fundamental questions as: What is the
spectrum of the primordial fluctuations? How do primeval galaxies
look? What are the first stages of star formation? Most of the
international space missions that have been triggered by these
questions are presented in detail here. Technological issues raised
by these missions are reviewed, as are the most recent achievements
in cooling and detector technologies.
Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from recent sky
surveys which have shown that distant galaxies, formed early in the
life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. New
observational windows at ultraviolet, infrared and millimetric
wavelengths (provided by ROSAT, IRAM, IUE, IRAS, ISO) have revealed
that galaxies contain a wealth of components: very hot gas, atomic
hydrogen, molecules, dust, dark matter ...
A significant advance is expected due to new instruments (VLT,
FIRST, XMM) which will allow one to explore the most distant
Universe. Three Euroconferences have been planned to punctuate this
new epoch in galactic research, bringing together specialists in
various fields of Astronomy.
The first one, held in Granada (Spain) in May 2000, addressed
the observational clues. The second one took place in October 2001
in St Denis de la Reunion (France) and reviewed the basic building
blocks and small-scale processes in galaxy evolution. The third one
will take place in July 2002 in Kiel (Germany) and will be devoted
to the overall modelling of galaxy evolution. This book contains
the proceedings of the second conference. It is suitable for
researchers and PhD students in Astrophysics. "

Explores the life and work of the little-known photographer
Alexander Henderson, whose work laid the foundations of the
Canadian romantic landscape Scottish-born Alexander Henderson
(1831-1913) arrived in Montreal in 1855 at the age of twenty-four,
eager to explore the Canadian wilderness. Photography, his
observation tool, would also reveal a remarkable artistic
sensibility. Little known among the general public, his work laid
the foundations of the Canadian romantic landscape and its themes:
the magic of winter, the endless lure of the country's lakes and
waterways, the metaphysical awe inspired by the vastness of its
land and its great river. But Henderson also offered a colonial
vision of the young North American city and documented a number of
Canada's major railway projects. This publication accompanies the
first exhibition devoted to Alexander Henderson's entire oeuvre and
focusses on photographs that highlight the tonalities, textures,
and clarity characteristic of the prints of the period. Texts
explore Henderson's biography, the sources and forms of romanticism
evident in his landscapes, and the genesis of his work as a process
of adaptation to the New World in a context of British imperialism.
