Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Between 1808 and 1830, the Whigs made a remarkable transition from
opposition to office that highlights important trends in early 19th
century Britain. The Whig Revival examines how a coalition between
provincial interest groups and the parliamentary party established
them as a viable governing party by 1830. Where earlier studies
have focused on the Whigs experience in government or liberal
reform movements, this work examines their years in opposition and
how the struggle for power broadened the political nation beyond
metropolitan elites.

This book is a thorough introduction to climate science and global
change. The author is a geologist who has spent much of his life
investigating the climate of Earth from a time when it was warm and
dinosaurs roamed the land, to today's changing climate. Bill Hay
takes you on a journey to understand how the climate system works.
He explores how humans are unintentionally conducting a grand
uncontrolled experiment which is leading to unanticipated changes.
We follow the twisting path of seemingly unrelated discoveries in
physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and even mathematics to learn
how they led to our present knowledge of how our planet works. He
explains why the weather is becoming increasingly chaotic as our
planet warms at a rate far faster than at any time in its geologic
past. He speculates on possible future outcomes, and suggests that
nature itself may make some unexpected course corrections. Although
the book is written for the layman with little knowledge of science
or mathematics, it includes information from many diverse fields to
provide even those actively working in the field of climatology
with a broader view of this developing drama. Experimenting on a
Small Planet is a must read for anyone having more than a casual
interest in global warming and climate change - one of the most
important and challenging issues of our time. This new edition
includes actual data from climate science into 2021. Numerous
Powerpoint slides can be downloaded to allow lecturers and teachers
to more effectively use the book as a basis for climate change
education.

Neonatal nutrition has a pivotal role in normal child development
and is of even greater importance in the sick or premature neonate.
This 2006 edition includes a comprehensive account of the basic
science, metabolism and nutritional requirements of the neonate,

clinical issues ranging from IUGR, intravenous feeding, nutritional

assessing nutritional status, body composition, and evaluating
metabolic function.
