Hackgate is the biggest scandal to engulf the mainstream press in decades. What started as a small bush fire - with News of the World royal editor and his private detective friend Glenn Mulcaire being detained at Her Majesty's pleasure in 2007 for hacking illegally into the phones of the royal family and others - became a forest fire destroying countless reputations (and the NoW) in its wake. The first edition, published in February 2012, soon...

This child centred, simple route to reading for pre-school children has been tried and tested with great success over a number of years by the author, a psychology graduate and qualified teacher. The scheme, a distillation of sight reading and the currently favoured synthetic systematic phonics approach, encourages children to learn to read with Sam, a character they will find fun and very easy to identify with. This scheme allows children to ...

What is quantum physics? Quantum physics is the physics of sub atomic particles, and, unlike the predictable format of classical physics, quantum physics appears to be totally indeterminate, which makes it a very exciting subject to study. In this book, we look at the energy associated with quantum particles, usually photons of electromagnetic radiation. We then examine how to determine the distance between electron shells in hydrogen atoms, a...

There are several approaches to quantum gravity. The most well known approach is string theory (M-theory), followed by loop quantum gravity. Temporal topos (t-topos) is an application of a modified topos over a category with a Grothendieck topology. We give explicit formulations in terms of t-topos for characteristic microcosmic phenomena such as wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement. In order to claim that t-t...

No Road Home offers a view of Gaza which few outsiders ever see. Telling the story of the war-torn territory during the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising against Israel, through people who lived there, this book gives a fuller account than countless news reports ever could. In doing so, it gives a voice to refugees, the bereaved, the dispossessed, settlers, soldiers, schoolchildren, and many others whose lives were shaped and scarred by...

To write this book the author has delved deeply into the histories of both Mathematics and Physics, and the result has been an original analysis of one of mankind's most successful intellectual achievements. The initial impulse for the development of Mathematical Physics began with classical Greek/Euclidean geometry and thence through the ideas of Algebra, founded by Arabian mathematicians, until it has flowered, initially in Western Europe, b...

It started in Tunisia in December 2010, spread to Egypt in January, Bahrain and Yemen in February - then to Libya and Syria. The 'Arab Spring' became the hot summer of civil war in Libya and may yet end in a winter of unprecedented bloodshed in Syria. These are major events transforming the political landscape in Arab countries and beyond. But how well were the Arab uprisings reported in the British media? To what extent did talk of 'Twitter r...

STAMFORD in the fifteenth century retained something of its early medieval international greatness, but was changing, creating winners and losers. The chief winner was William Browne, "a merchant of a very wonderfulle richenesse" [Leland]. A wool merchant whose commercial empire spread from Boston and Ipswich to Coventry and Southampton as well as Calais, money lender to crown, nobility and local tradesmen and women, property owner in town and...

No other collection to date has so acutely, intelligently and coherently demonstrated the inseparability of information, entertainment, policy and public perception as prime vectors of "war on terror" discourses and sensibilities as these are represented in Hollywood products. If I had to choose a single source to interrogate the limitless suffusion throughout Hollywood texts of Hegemonic gaze and subjectivity - regardless of genre, whether "c...

Particles are the building blocks of the universe, shaping our very existence, as long as we view them as particles and not nebulous quantum objects! For centuries, scientists have sought to discover and understand more about these particles, trying to unlock the secrets of how our universe was created and what will happen to it in the future, and thankfully we have now discovered a lot of answers in recent years. As an introduction to particl...

This book develops an Effective Theory of Quantum Gravity based on the two pillars of physics - namely, General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. It opens up a new direction of research in the search for a quantum theory of gravity, by first exactly quantizing the Newton-Cartan-Schrodinger theory of non-relativistic gravity, and then special relativizing the quantized theory by invoking Mach's Principle in the case of the universe an...

This volume, published on behalf of the Stamford Survey Group, is the third to appear in a series designed to put texts relating to the history of the town into the public domain to encourage the study of the past of this town. The earlier volumes are the first part of the borough Hall Book William Browne's Town: the Stamford Hall Book volume 1 1465-1492 (2005), and The Act Book of St Katherine's Gild, Stamford, 1480-1534 (2011). This book con...

Gaining a good understanding of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) can be a very rewarding experience and this book will provide you with a very accessible entry into this fascinating field of engineering. The progress of your learning will be greatly enhanced by the use of the software program DADiSP which is a very effective means for simulating DSP processes. A free student version of DADiSP is available and as you progress through this book y...

Few aspects of Kant's political philosophy have attracted more censure than his views on revolution and the two common charges are examined here: it is said that since in general Kant opposes revolution but welcomes the French Revolution his standpoint is confused and contradictory, and further that his main argument against revolution renders the citizen helpless in the face of state violence. Are these charges justified? Drawing on neglected...

The Handbook of Psychology Concepts is handbook that provides brief and standard definitions and short notes on many of the concepts that are frequently used in modern psychology and other behavioural sciences, such as sociology and anthropology. The author is currently a senior lecturer at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at The University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. He was the Hon. Commissioner for Education and Health in Delt...

Social Psychology - is a general introduction to the academic discipline of SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY. The major objective of the book is to show the relatively distinctive nature, scope and significance of social psychology as an academic enterprise. It is hoped that this book will enable the reader - especially students of social psychology at the undergraduate, postgraduate, or diploma levels to acquire a comprehensive and broad-based knowledge and...

The provocative chapters making up this edited volume are drawn from a range of disciplines and are intended to help scholars, activists, students, and citizens in general to rethink commonly accepted notions of community in order to imagine new possibilities for social, political, and economic organization -- in short, new ways of imagining solidarity and citizenship with others, especially those who languish outside the range of our moral ra...
