After decades of service and years of watching her family's
troubles splashed across the tabloids, Britain's Queen is beginning
to feel her age. An unexpected opportunity offers her relief: an
impromptu visit to a place that holds happy memories--the former
royal yacht, Britannia, now moored near Edinburgh. Hidden beneath a
skull-emblazoned hoodie, the limber Elizabeth (thank goodness for
yoga) walks out of Buckingham Palace and heads for King's Cross to
catch a train to Scotland. But a colorful cast of royal attendants
has discovered her missing. In uneasy alliance a lady-in-waiting, a
butler, an equerry, a girl from the stables, a dresser, and a clerk
from the shop that supplies Her Majesty's cheese set out to bring
her back before her absence becomes a national scandal.
Comic and poignant, fast-paced and clever, Mrs Queen Takes the
Train tweaks the pomp of the monarchy, going beneath its rigid
formality to reveal the human heart of the woman at its center.

'Eco-friendly' variants are rapidly gaining market share in many
industries such as food, textiles, furniture, detergents and
paints, automobiles, electrical appliances and domestic energy.
These markets usually exhibit environmental differentiation, where
consumers differ in their willingness to pay for the environmental
attributes of a product. Building on the existing literature, this
novel book provides a comprehensive analysis of firm strategy and
environmental policy making in these types of 'green' markets. The
author introduces the model of an environmentally differentiated
duopoly, in order to explicitly analyse the strategic interaction
within such a market. He studies in detail the effects of
environmental product standards, eco-labels, 'green' R&D
subsidies and environmental taxation on firm behaviour, welfare and
emissions. Non-technical sections providing the empirical context
expertly complement the formal theoretical analysis of
environmental policy making. The author goes on to present
important new conclusions for environmental policy and an agenda
for future research. The Greening of Markets will be of immense
interest to students and academics of environmental economics and
applied industrial organisation, as well as policy makers and
environmental managers.

THE BRO CODE provides men with all the rules they need to know in order to become a "bro" and behave properly among other bros.
THE BRO CODE has never been published before. Few know of its existence, and the code, until now, has been verbally communicated between those in the 'bro'. Containing approximately 150 "unspoken" rules, this code of conduct ranges from the simple (bros before hos) to the complex (the hot-to-crazy ratio, complete with bar graphs and charts). With helpful sidebros THE BRO CODE will help any ordinary guy become the best bro he can be. Let ultimate bro and co-author Barney Stinson and his book, THE BRO CODE share their wisdom, lest you be caught making eye contact in a devil's three-way (two dudes, duh.)
Sample Articles from THE BRO CODE:
- Article 1: Regardless of veracity, a Bro never admits familiarity with a Broadway show or musical
- Article 53: A Bro will, whenever possible, provide his Bro with prophylactic protection
- Article 57: A Bro may not speculate on the expected Bro / chick ratio of a party or venue without first disclosing the present-time observed ratio
From the hit TV show "How I Met Your Mother, " an abbreviated,
"on-the-Bro" version of the classic "New York Times" bestseller
"The Bro Code," featuring a new introduction by author Barney
Stinson.
When "The Bro Code" was first published in 2008, it took the world
by storm--becoming an instant "New York Times" bestseller and
shaping the behavior and attitudes of Bros the world over. Author
Barney Stinson expected nothing less.
But for some busy Bros, the standard trade paperback format was
just too big and chunky to fit into their perfectly tailored suit.
With this audience in mind, Stinson now presents "Bro on the Go,"
the same classic traditions and guidelines for Bro behavior, now
packaged in a more compact and awesome format. Featuring a new
Introduction by the author and the same classic Bro Code articles,
amendments, and Brocabulary that made the original such a hit, this
book is essential reading for anyone who wants to be legen--wait
for it--dary.

high-stakes heist novel set in a gritty world of magic and malice.
WHO NEEDS FRIENDS WHEN YOU HAVE AXES? Ryia 'the Butcher' Cautella
has earned her reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the
city - not to mention the sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not
her real name. A deadly secret has kept Ryia in hiding, running
from city to city, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead
of the formidable Guildmaster - sovereign ruler of the five
kingdoms. But even the most powerful men can be defeated. One last
impossible job is all that stands between Ryia and her freedom -
but even the Butcher can't do it alone. She teams up with the
Saints, a crew of uniquely skilled miscreants, smugglers and
thieves, to carry off a death-defying heist into the most tightly
guarded island in the kingdoms - the Guildmaster's stronghold.

The Politics of Broadcasting (1985) examines the state of
broadcasting in a variety of Western democracies from a political
viewpoint, written at a time when new telecommunications and
information technology revolutionised television and radio. The
book describes and analyses the problems faced by politicians and
broadcasters in responding to these changing technological and
political environments.
The process of developing predictive models includes many stages.
Most resources focus on the modeling algorithms but neglect other
critical aspects of the modeling process. This book describes
techniques for finding the best representations of predictors for
modeling and for nding the best subset of predictors for improving
model performance. A variety of example data sets are used to
illustrate the techniques along with R programs for reproducing the
results.
Informed Cities looks at the knowledge brokerage processes between
cities and higher education institutions, and in particular
evaluates governance mechanisms for monitoring local sustainability
and the role of research within this. The first part of the book
provides an analysis of tools for governing sustainable cities and
develops a typology of existing tools. It then considers approaches
to monitor local sustainability on a European level, focusing on a
number of key tools such as the Covenant of Mayors, Reference
Framework for Sustainable Cities, and Green Capital Award. The
second part of the book introduces an explorative application of
two tools that the author team have used in practice to monitor
local sustainability, Urban Ecosystems Europe and Local Evaluation
21, presenting and evaluating European level data collected from
local governments. The third part of the book looks deeper into a
number of case studies discussing how a working and rewarding
city-university connection can be created and nourished in an
administrative and political setting. Finally, the last part of the
book reflects on lessons learned from the application of the tools
and accompanying research process and makes recommendations for
further developing monitoring tools for urban sustainability on a
European level. This book will be essential reading for
professionals in urban and regional planning who are tasked with
monitoring the effects of sustainability policies, as well as for
graduate students in planning, environmental governance,
sustainable development and related disciplines.
These original essays are planned to provide a coherent basis for
an understanding of women's social and historical situation. This
achieved by outlining the foundation of a systematic approach to an
analysis of women's relationship to modes of production and
reproduction within a materialist framework. The essays, each with
a brief editorial introduction, deal with issues and perspectives
brought increasingly to the fore in recent years, not only in the
women's movement but in the social sciences generally. The articles
are wide-ranging, covering such issues as patriarchy, paid and
unpaid labour and the state. The centrality of two of the major
themes - the family and the labour process - suggests that an
understanding of women's situation is necessarily based on an
analysis of the structures of production and reproduction. The
authors' aim in producing Feminism and Materialism is to confront
systematically theoretical issues current in the developing area of
women's studies, while recognising that this must constitute a
critique of existing theoretical frameworks. The book will be of
interest to teachers and students in the social sciences and in
women's studies, as well as to all those who wish to develop an
understanding of what a materialist approach to feminism might be.
Transforming Learning Through Tangible Instruction offers a
transformative, student-centered approach to higher education
pedagogy that integrates embodied cognition into classroom
practice. Evidence across disciplines makes clear that people learn
with their bodies as well as their brains, but no previous book has
provided evidence-based guidance for adopting and refining its
practice in colleges and universities. Collecting findings from
cognitive science, educational neuroscience, learning theories, and
beyond, this volume's unique approach-radical yet practical,
effective yet low-cost-will have profound implications for higher
education faculty and administrators engaged in teaching and
learning. Seven concise chapters explore how physical objects,
hands-on making, active construction, and other elements of body
and environment can enhance comprehension, memory, and individual
and collaborative learning.
This book examines the successful no-confidence movement led by
faculty at Saint Louis University in 2013 in an effort to unseat
the university president, considering the reasons for success when
similar movements often fail. Through a series of chapters written
by faculty from many disciplines at the university, it uses a
particular episode of faculty protest to shed light on wider issues
concerning the circumstances in which faculty are likely to be
motivated to protest, the institutional frameworks that make
protest possible and the strategies that get results. As such, it
will appeal to scholars of social movements with interests in
protest and mobilization in the field of education.
Jo Spence was one of Britain's pioneering photographers. Born into
a working-class London family, she worked for many years as a
studio photographer. Her political concerns led to documentary
photography. Soon after completing her degree in the theory and
practice of photography, she discovered she had breast cancer.
Through her struggle to come to terms with the illness, to find
non-invasive treatments and to share her experience with others,
she developed unique ways of using photography.
"Cultural Sniping" brings together a wide range of Jo Spence's
photographs and writings for the first time. Through images and
texts she explores complex issues of gender, class, health and the
body, and their impact on her understanding of personal history and
the construction of identity.
"Cultural Sniping" includes images from Spence's early work in
documentary photography and from her pioneering photo-therapy
projects, undertaken in collaboration with other photographers. In
her later work Spence faces up to the experience of illness and
dying, and "Cultural Sniping" reproduces work from her "Return to
Nature" and "Death Mask" series, in which she tries to come to
terms with the reality of death. Jo Spence's commitment to engaging
with personal experience, political understanding and critical
theory make her writing and photography a vital contribution to our
understanding of the politics of representation.
