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.

Together, the contributions in this book 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.
