The authors provide a broad overview of economic aspects of
commodity taxation, focussing in particular on theory and on policy
applications in OECD countries. Some major papers in public
economics have discussed whether these taxes should be levied at a
uniform rate, or whether different commodities should be taxed
differently, for reasons of either equity or efficiency. The
authors begin with this question, and then discuss further issues,
including the economic incidence of commodity taxes, the properties
of the VAT, the taxation of financial services, the international
aspects of commodity taxation, and environmental and health policy
aspects.
The context specific chapters are progressive and well thought out
and include reflections from trainees and practitioners as case
study examples. The first book that provides a detailed overview of
the three pathways to becoming an accredited Sport and Exercise
Psychologist in the UK and how to locate supervisors, which
students often get very confused about. The book integrates the
business and marketing side of developing a private practice,
needed for this target audience. The first book to address the
aspect of the mental health of practitioners and their use of
self-care strategies.
Economic Development, the leading textbook in this field, provides
you with a complete and balanced introduction to the requisite
theory, driving policy issues, and latest research. Todaro and
Smith take a policy-oriented approach, presenting economic theory
in the context of critical policy debates and country-specific case
studies, to show how theory relates to the problems and prospects
of developing countries.

Training in research methods is increasingly important for students
of tourism, and this broad, accessible textbook outlines the
concepts and tools essential to understand, manage, and conduct
research. Taking a practical approach throughout, this new edition
provides advice on the use and cautions associated with some of the
more common research designs and tools used by tourism researchers.
Fully updated throughout, it: - covers core techniques such as
questionnaire design, sample selection, and interviewing - reviews
analytical tools such as the development of scales and indices,
assessment of advertising performance, benchmarking, market
segmentation, case studies, and content and visual analysis. - uses
recent real-world examples and focus boxes throughout to assess new
aspects of research such as blogs, narrative analysis and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - retains the approachable,
personal writing style of the previous edition. Also including an
increased use of handy pedagogical features to aid learning, this
new edition is an essential overview for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of tourism research, as well as a useful
resource for researchers, consultants and managers.

A boldly illustrated tale of acceptance and change. “Wolf
wasn’t happy being Wolf. When he looked in the mirror he looked
BAD. And when he looked bad, he felt bad, and when he felt bad, he
acted bad.†Wolf wants to change but he’s not sure how. He goes
on a journey, meeting members of the animal kingdom that experience
change; a chameleon, a salamander, a seal, a parrotfish and a
flatfish, to name a few. With their help he undergoes a magnificent
transition... This book is ultimately about being able to be
yourself and could be used in PSHE sessions about acceptance and
appearance. It would also be a fun, cross-curricular link to
metamorphosis or life cycles in science. -- Reading Zone Wolf is
confused and disappointed with himself, but he is guided through
the jungle, the forest, the sea and the sky by other creatures who
show him that he's not alone, that everyone has a bit of a battle
to fight. -- School Reading List
This unique collection of 12 research projects carried out by
experienced practitioners in the play sector in the UK and USA puts
forward a range of perspectives on children's play and adults'
relationships with it. Drawing on a diverse range of research
methodologies, the studies consider adults' memories of play; the
co-production of spaces where children can play (in adventure
playgrounds, out of school clubs, children's zoos, children's
museums and public space); therapeutic approaches to playwork;
playwork and wellbeing; supporting the play of severely disabled
children and young people; play and contemporary art practice; and
children's use of technology in a playground. Offering a fresh look
beyond the dominant singular voice of developmental psychology,
this book is essential reading for anyone studying or working with
children at play.

Mastering ARM hardware architecture opens a world of programming
for nearly all phones and tablets including the iPhone/iPad and
most Android phones. It's also the heart of many single board
computers like the Raspberry Pi. Gain the skills required to dive
into the fundamentals of the ARM hardware architecture with this
book and start your own projects while you develop a working
knowledge of assembly language for the ARM 64-bit processor. You'll
review assembly language programming for the ARM Processor in
64-bit mode and write programs for a number of single board
computers, including the Nvidia Jetson Nano and the Raspberry Pi
(running 64-bit Linux). The book also discusses how to target
assembly language programs for Apple iPhones and iPads along with
64-Bit ARM based Android phones and tablets. It covers all the
tools you require, the basics of the ARM hardware architecture, all
the groups of ARM 64-Bit Assembly instructions, and how data is
stored in the computer's memory. In addition, interface apps to

Bastogne will live forever in the annals of American military
history. From the resounding 'Nuts', in response to the German
demand for surrender, to the breaking of the siege by Patton's
Third Army face=Calibri>- brilliantly disengaged from its
positions on the Saar, wheeled 90 degrees and marched northwards
faster than any thought possible face=Calibri>- the defense of
Bastogne and victory in the Ardennes was one of the greatest feats
of American arms in the European Theatre. This title in the Past
& Present series looks at the encirclement, siege, and relief
with then and now photographs; specially commissioned aerial
photos, and a wealth of detail.
In this large volume, historian Alex Churchill and illustrator
Steve Smith have gone out to produce the First World War book they
wish they had had as kids. Treating the conflict as a truly global
one, get ready to go way beyond the Western Front with them,
through 400 pages of text, artwork and hundreds of photographs in
search of an all round understanding of the conflict.

Learn to program the Raspberry Pi Pico's dual ARM Cortex M0+ CPUs
in Assembly Language. The Pico contains a customer System on a Chip
(SoC) called the RP2040, making it the Foundation's first entry
into the low-cost microcontroller market. The RP2040 contains a
wealth of coprocessors for performing arithmetic as well as
performing specialized I/O functionality. This book will show you
how these CPUs work from a low level, easy-to-learn perspective.
There are eight new Programmable I/O (PIO) coprocessors that have
their own specialized Assembly Language supporting a wide variety
of interface protocols. You'll explore these protocols and write
programs or functions in Assembly Language and interface to all the
various bundled hardware interfaces. Then go beyond working on your
own board and projects to contribute to the official RP2040 SDK.
Finally, you'll take your DIY hardware projects to the next level
