Part IV - Kat Severn turned her back on her privileged and moneyed
upbringing, instead pursuing a career in the Military of the early
22nd Century Federation of America, Britain, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand. She has been given her first independent command a "
In the remote waters of the Southern Atlantic. For a Fleet Officer
with a reputation for not following the rules, ita s a posting that
rapidly becomes more of an exile than a stepping-stone towards her
next promotion. But where Kat goes, trouble seems to follow a " and
she isna t there long before discovering mercenaries are sabotaging
the navigation beacons that mark the safe-transit-routes for
shipping. Whilst establishing the extend of the damage she
unintentionally finds a previously unknown, but Long-abandoned
Chinese military base on a remote and desolate island. A base that
contains devastating technology. Technology that Kat must ensure
never falls into the wrong hands.
When Kat Severn left university she had a choice, but instead of
following her father and brother into politics, she chose the other
family tradition and joined the military. Only a few months into
her first command appointment she is relieved from duty.
Unwittingly she has become a pawn in a fast-evolving political
game, with unknown adversaries seeking to undermine her father, the
prime minister of the early 22nd century Federation of America,
Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Whilst waiting to be
summoned for court martial, Kat's grandpa Jim gets her away from
unwanted media attention by sending her on a diplomatic mission to
New Zealand. With the principal warships of the Pacific Fleet
despatched on a senseless propaganda tour by new political masters,
the Federation cities of Nu Hawaii and San Angeles are suddenly
highly vulnerable when a mystery fleet arrives demanding their
immediate surrender. This time there is no choice for Kat.
Assembling a flotilla of small ships and reservist personnel, she
leads them in the most important mission of her career, and perhaps
her last!
Part II - Kat Severn had no choice about growing up rich and
privileged. When she did have a choice, she joined the Fleet of the
early 22nd century Federation of American, Britain, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand. Her current assignment is more tha dull,
but when a suggestion on how to fix an engineering problem puts her
ship into dock for a few weeks, Kat is forced to return to the
social scene she had grown to hate. Then a friend urgently calls
for help from halfway around the world, and with a military
heritage pumping through her veins, Kat is quick to come to the
rescue, boarding the next available transport to St Petersburg,
Russia. Despuite being fully aware she is rushing into a highly
elaborate trap, it soon becomes apparent that there is considerably
more to this rescue than she initially thought. Unable to escape
the city due to the imposing of a travel restricting quarantine,
followed by the sudden and suspicious loss of all external
communications, Katis subjected to a series of extreme events as
unknown enemies strive to acheive their twisted objectives.

Originally published in 1963, this title was an attempt to provide
a new basis for the discipline of Speech Therapy. This was the
first work to be published in England relating speech pathology to
the wider study of human communication. It also contains results of
original research into the problems of Dyslalia and Stammering.
Several chapters are devoted to accounts of diagnostic measures and
aids.

This volume provides a unique collection of contributions
addressing both the 'too much' and 'too little' sides of the
nitrogen story. Building on analyses started at the 6th
International Nitrogen Conference, Kampala, the book explores the
idea of 'just enough nitrogen': sufficient for sustainable food
production, but not so much as to lead to unsustainable pollution
and climate problems. The range of nitrogen threats examined,
solutions evaluated and science-policy analyses presented here has
provided the foundation to agree the 'Kampala Statement-for-Action
on Nitrogen in Africa and Globally,' as reported in this volume.
Humanity today faces unprecedented challenges: How to feed a
growing population? How to reduce air pollution, water pollution
and climate change? How to handle regional differences in an era of
increasing globalization? These questions are at the heart of this
edited volume which examines the multi-dimensional nature of the
global nitrogen challenge. While humans have massively altered the
nitrogen cycle, the consequences have become polarized. Some
regions have too much nitrogen, associated with pollution and
wasteful use of a valuable resource, while other regions have too
little nitrogen, leading to constraints on food production and
depletion of soil nutrient stocks. The volume provides a unique
collection of contributions addressing both the 'too much' and 'too
little' sides of the nitrogen story. Building on analyses started

Statement-for-Action on Nitrogen in Africa and Globally,' as

are now informing actions by the International Nitrogen Initiative
(INI) in working with the United Nations Environment Programme and
others to establish the International Nitrogen Management System
(INMS). A key outcome has been to catalyse development of the first
Resolution on Sustainable Nitrogen Management, as adopted by the
fourth UN Environment Assembly (UNEA/EA.4/Res.14). The work is
written for researchers and policy makers and all those interested
in seeing how sustainable nitrogen management can contribute to
meeting many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Classical Versus Neoclassical Monetary Theories, completed just
before Professor Will E. Mason's untimely death, places recent and
mid-20th century monetary theory in a larger historical context,
while examining the relevance of contemporary questions in monetary
policy. The first half of the volume analyzes the development of
the methodological and conceptual foundations of monetary theory,
up to and including contemporary mainstream views; the second half
addresses more policy-oriented monetary questions. Emphasis is
placed on the dichotomy of monetary and value theory, the Walrasian
general equilibrium paradigm, the resolution of the 'Patinkin
controversy', the Federal Reserve System's failed experiment with
'pure monetarism', and the misplacement of the free market in the
'Chicago paradox'. Classical Versus Neoclassical Monetary Theories
will be of interest both to historians of economic thought and
monetary and macro economists, as well as to many well-informed
followers and fashioners of monetary policy.

This volume brings together extended reviews and papers of new
scientific research on atmospheric nitrogen deposition impacts
globally. While there is a wealth of evidence on the magnitude,
components and effects of nitrogen disposition on floral
biodiversity in Europe and North America, there is an obvious lack
of information on impacts on above- and below-ground fauna, and all
impacts in other parts of the world, with no clear overview of how
the different strands of evidence fit together. This overall
synthesis is targeted at the international conventions, but is
equally readable for scientists, environmental managers,
conservation agencies and policy makers. 'This timely book
highlights the global nitrogen deposition problem. Major regions of
the world are exceeding sustainability thresholds for adverse
effects on ecosystem function and biodiversity. This highlights the
importance of ongoing work, including under the Convention on
Biological Diversity, in developing indicators and monitoring
nitrogen deposition effects to enable appropriate measures. This
book presents a milestone towards this global goal as the
international community works toward meeting the Aichi Biodiversity
Targets, especially Target 8: "By 2020, pollution, including from
excess nutrients, has been brought to levels that are not
detrimental to ecosystem function and biodiversity". Braulio
Ferreira de Souza Dias, Executive Secretary, Convention on
Biological Diversity "This key volume highlights the global
challenge to reduce atmospheric nitrogen pollution resulting from
energy production, transport and agricultural activities. It takes
forward the agenda recently launched in the UNEP commissioned
report 'Our Nutrient World". Dr. Anjan Datta, UNEP.
