Sir Marcus Pennington appears to have it all: a beautiful actress
wife, Victoria, two loving daughters and a successful career as a
respected barrister. But behind the facade he is leading a triple
life, romancing two other women: Dexie, a prostitute, and
Millicent, the widow of his best friend, now his PA. In a series of
highly engaging monologues, Victoria, Dexie and Millicent tell
Marcus' story from three very different perspectives. Preoccupied
and detached, Victoria is seemingly oblivious to his indiscretions
- and guilty of her own - but regards him with fond indulgence.
Shy, self-deprecating Millicent can't help but be taken in by the
promise of romance and passion that was lacking in her marriage.
Dexie hopes that Marcus will provide a route out of poverty - all
the more necessary after she gives birth to his illegitimate son.
With excellent characterisation and vivid dialogue, "The Threefold
Cord" provides three very rewarding roles for actresses.
Accelerating Cleanup at Toxic Waste Sites: Fast-tracking
Environmental Actions and Decision Making presents truly innovative
advances in investigative and cleanup technologies, offering
valuable solutions that streamline the data collection process,
speed up the time it takes to characterize a site, and expedite
decision making.
Using easy to understand graphic displays, tables, text summaries,
and real world case studies, and by synthesizing technical and
regulatory reference information crucial to the development of
effective cleanup strategies,
this book provides the framework for environmental professionals to
develop project and program approaches that meet today's needs.
An advanced text for those with at least basic understanding of
environmental investigation, cleanup, regulations, decision making,
and policy development, Accelerating Cleanup at Toxic Waste Sites
addresses the "human" side of the environmental industry and why it
is perhaps one of the most important considerations for successful
accelerated cleanup. This book takes the next step by providing
managers, project teams, and other professionals with approaches
that bring techniques, regulations, strategies, and people together
into one comprehensive package that works.
In 1998, SC24, the subcommittee of ISO/IEC JTC 1 concerned with
computer graphics and image processing, completed work on a new
standard for multimedia presentation; the PREMO standard
(Presentation Environment for Multimedia Objects) is published
under the official reference ISO/IEC 14478. PREMO essentially
provides a middleware specification for multimedia programming -
more generally it also serves as a reference model for distributed
multimedia. This book does not attempt to replace the official
standard but provides a readable version of the basic concepts,
presents some features of the PREMO objects in detail, highlights
the reasons for specific design decisions, and gives simple
examples and motivation claryfying the underlying concepts. A
particularly helpful feature is that the authors provide detailed
specifications of the PREMO objects in Java. Mainly for students
and professionals who need to improve their understanding of the
issues involved in distributed multimedia.
