Using a quotation from the English antiquary John Leland (c. 1503-1552) as their inspiration, the editors provide a fresh look at the monuments of Boston Lincolnshire (eastern England), and in particular the parish church of St Botolph's. Modern-day Boston is a small, sleepy market town, with little of its industrial enterprises having survived into this century, and is nowadays chiefly of importance as a shopping centre for its rich agricultu...

The objective of this study is to seek to better understand the processes involved in landscape change that have resulted in the highly distinctive character types found in the British Isles. Rather than drawing examples of different aspects of development from around the regions, a single heavily wooded landscape has been chosen for study, that of Savernake Forest (Wiltshire, southern England). The case is made that the processes involved in ...

Get Your Kicks On Route 66' - Bobby Troup sang es in den Vierzigerjahren vor, Millionen Automobilisten folgten ihm. Heute wird die legendäre Route 66 quer durch die USA nur noch touristisch genutzt. Dres Balmer hat die rund 3900 Kilometer lange Strecke von Chicago nach Los Angeles mit dem Fahrrad bewältigt und erzählt von euphorisierenden Strapazen, überraschenden Begegnungen und einem Amerika jenseits der Klischees. Ergänzt wird sein Bericht...

Luisa kennt jeden einzelnen Olivenbaum. Die Linsen sind ein Familienheiligtum, und wenn es im November nach weißen Trüffeln duftet, dann kommt der Duft nicht aus einer Flasche mit Trüffelöl, sondern von echten weißen Trüffeln, die in der Nacht zuvor noch an einer geheimen Stelle geschlafen haben. Das Fleisch in Luisas Töpfen stammt von Tieren, die ein überglückliches, vielleicht sogar wildes Leben führen durften, bis Luisa ihnen in ihrer Küche...

Not many years ago, problems of membranes and transport attracted the attention of but a few dozen enthusiasts, mainly physiolo­ gists who recognize~ the significance of membranes for the stabilization of the general steady state of organisms. The first symposium organ­ ized some fifteen years ago could boast of the attendance of perhaps fifty scientists (the remaining fifty were not yet sure that membranes was the topic of their choice), rang...

On picking up this first volume of a new series of books the reader may ask the two questions: (a) why research methods? and (b) why in neurochem­ istry? The answers to these questions are easy - they more than justify the volumes to come and show the strong need for their existence. It is customary to think of methods as a necessary but unexciting means to an end - to relegate advances in methodology to a minor role in the creative, original ...

Crystallography may be described as the science of the structure of materi­ als, using this word in its widest sense, and its ramifications are apparent over a broad front of current scientific endeavor. It is not surprising, therefore, to find that most universities offer some aspects of crystallography in their undergraduate courses in the physical sciences. It is the principal aim of this book to present an introduction to structure determi...

This book is about general infrared (IR) engineering, technology, practices, and principles as they apply to modem imaging systems. An alternative title to this book with appeal to managers and marketing personnel might be "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Infrared Sensors, but Couldn't Get Answers on from Engineers." This book is not meant to be a comprehensive compendium of IR (like the Infrared and Electro Optical Systems Handbook...

Climate, climate change, climate fluctuations and climatic trends are only a few of the terms used today, in not only conferences, scientific symposia and workshops, but also parliaments and in discussions throughout society. To climatologists these terms may be well known, to the vast majority of people, however, they are new, and they require definition and explanation. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) inherited an interest and in...

Some one hundred years ago the founding fathers optimistically launched psychology as a science. The premise was that the new science must break away from its parental ties to philosophy and confine itself to gathering data, preferably in the psychology laboratory. There is little doubt that this early commitment to an "observation and accumulation of data only" policy was helpful in the launching of the new science. Some idea of how critical ...

Addresses Puerto Rico's relationship with the US and presents compelling strategies for gaining independence. Through a series of interviews and newspaper columns, the author examines six countries similar in size to Puerto Rico that have all navigated a course to sovereignty: Singapore, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Estonia, and Slovenia. Collado-Schwarz chronicles the political history of each, the ways in which each achieved independence, a...
