Environmental Consequences and Management of Coastal Industries

Terms and Concepts

By: Michael Elliott,Andrew Wither

Environmental Consequences and Management of Coastal Industries: Terms and Concepts covers the engineering, natural and social sciences aspects related to coastal power plants and their operation and management. The book gives background to featured problems and solutions, making it relevant to power plants in all global situations and giving practitioners what they need to assess environmental consequences. In addition, the book indicates, defines and illustrates the terms and concepts used worldwide. This is important as engineers and scientists often have an imperfect understanding of the requirements of each other, and similar (in some cases identical) terms may have very different meanings. Users will find this to be a simple and accessible guide to the terminology used and concepts covered. Individual entries are complete in themselves, but still cross referenced to other entries where additional information may be found. This provides quick-and-easy access to the required information. - Provides a unique approach that acts as a first-stop-shop for complementary interests with entries presented on separate pages - Presents multidisciplinary content, thus ensuring that different functions understand others' priorities and concerns - Includes comprehensive content with wide ranging coverage written by experts with many decades of experience in environmental aspects of coastal power plans and other industries

Roman Britain's Pirate King

Carausius, Constantius Chlorus and the Fourth Roman Invasion of Britain

By: Simon Elliott

A “fascinating and engaging” study of the naval commander who defied an emperor and ruled in Britain and northern Gaul for a decade (Midwest Book Review). In the middle of the third century AD, Roman Britain’s regional fleet, the Classis Britannica, disappeared. It was never to return. Soon the North Sea and English Channel were overrun by Germanic pirates preying upon the east and south coasts of Britain, and the continental coast up to the Rhine Delta. The western augustus (senior emperor) Maximian turned to a seasoned naval leader called Marcus Aurelius Mausaeus Valerius Carausius to restore order. He was so successful that Maximian accused him of pocketing the plunder he’d recaptured—and ordered his execution. The canny Carausius moved first, and in 286 usurped imperial authority, creating a North Sea empire in northern Gaul and Britain that lasted until 296. Dubbed the pirate king, he initially thrived, seeing off early attempts by Maximian to defeat him. However, in the early 290s Maximian appointed his new caesar (junior emperor), Constantius Chlorus—the father of Constantine the Great—to defeat Carausius. A seasoned commander, Constantius Chlorus soon brought northern Gaul back into the imperial fold, leaving Carausius controlling only Britain. But that control would soon come to an end in dramatic fashion, as recounted in this lively, compelling history.

Adventures in the West

Henry Halpin, Fur Trader and Indian Agent

By: David R. Elliott

This is the story of Irish-born Henry Ross Halpin, who by the age of 16 began a long association with the fur trade and Canada’s native peoples, was thrice employed by the Hudson’s Bay Company, and became an Indian agent (18851901). Halpin’s work took him from Fort Garry, Manitoba, to Fort York on the shores of the Hudson Bay, and across the Prairies to British Columbia. This book is based on Halpin’s previously unpublished menoirs, Hudson’s Bay Company post journals and correspondence, the 1885 Rebellion trials where Halpin was a witness, and the reports and correspondence of the Department of Indian Affairs.

Energy, Society and Environment

By: David Elliott

Society's use of energy and technology is at heart of many of the most significant environmental problems of recent years, including problems of health, global warming and acid rain. Use of technology has been a major cause of environmental problems but new technology offers many solutions. Energy, Society and Environment is an introduction to energy and energy use, and the interactions between technology, society and the environment. The book is clearly structured to examine: * key environmental issues, and the harmful impacts of energy use * new technological solutions to environmental problems * implementation of possible solutions * implications for society in developing a sustainable approach to energy use. Social processes and strategic solutions to problems are located within a clear, technological context with topical case studies and informative diagrams illustrating key issues. Energy, Society and Environment examines the potential and limits of technical solutions to environmental problems and suggests the social, economic and political changes necessary to avoid serious environmental damage in the future.

Empire State

How the Roman Military Built an Empire

By: Simon Elliott

The armed forces of Rome, particularly those of the later Republic and Principate, are rightly regarded as some of the finest military formations ever to engage in warfare. Less well known however is their use by the State as tools for such nonmilitary activities in political, economic and social contexts. In this capacity they were central instruments for the Emperor to ensure the smooth running of the Empire. In this book the use of the military for such non-conflict related duties is considered in detail for the first time. The first, and best known, is running the great construction projects of the Empire in their capacity as engineers. Next, the role of the Roman military in the running of industry across the Roman Empire is examined, particularly the mining and quarrying industries but also others. They also took part in agriculture, administered and policed the Empire, provided a firefighting resource and organized games in the arena. The soldiers of Rome really were the foundations on which the Roman Empire was constructed: they literally built an empire. Simon Elliott lifts the lid on this less well-known side to the Roman army, in an accessible narrative designed for a wide readership.

Tales of the Dominion

Out of the Blue

By: K. R. Elliott

I looked down upon her beautiful, innocent face. That was when I made the decision which would change my life forever." Welcome to the magical world we dreamt of as little girls, filled with the excitement teenagers crave and the romantic love women long to inspire. After an impassioned run-in with Nicholas -the handsome young successor to the aquarium where she works- Amelia's body reacts in a way she never dreamt possible. Their new romance is filled with an intensity that threatens to consume them as their destinies become entwined. Nicholas' untold secret of being a merman as well as being heir to the Southern Dominion, is merely a ripple on the ocean of mysteries he holds. His sudden departure leaves Amelia alone and vulnerable to the cunning wiles of Nathaniel, Nicholas' cousin, adversary and well-known playboy. Amelia's comforting workplace is turned upside down the day she meets Athan (AKA Nathaniel). This smug, conceited guy is not only the Aquarium's newly employed Marine Biologist but her new boss! She is soon confused by the back flip in his demeanor, and worse, the changes in her own emotions and desires. If only Nicholas would return, her life would be so much easier. Little does she know life with Nicholas could never be simple. He changed her life long before they ever met; setting forth a turbulent wave that hasn't even hit her yet. With a fresh insight into this mythical world, this new portrayal will have you believing the impossible and wanting more after the final page is turned.

Mother Jones

An American Life

By: Elliott J. Gorn

Her rallying cry was famous: "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living." A century ago, Mother Jones was a celebrated organizer and agitator, the very soul of the modern American labor movement. At coal strikes, steel strikes, railroad, textile, and brewery strikes, Mother Jones was always there, stirring the workers to action and enraging the powerful. In this first biography of "the most dangerous woman in America," Elliott J. Gorn proves why, in the words of Eugene V. Debs, Mother Jones "has won her way into the hearts of the nation's toilers, and . . . will be lovingly remembered by their children and their children's children forever.

Israeli Humor

The Content and Structure of the Chizbat of the Palmah

By: Elliott Oring

Derived from the Arabic word for "lie," the word "chizbat" was chosen by members of the Palmah to designate the particular form of narrative joke exchanged by these volunteer defenders of Jewish settlements in Israel during the uncertain years 1941—48. Elliott Oring concentrates his attention on how the chizbat represents the expression of a distinctly Israeli identity and the disparate elements of this identity: sabra/European, Arab/Israeli, East/West. He shows how chizbat humor depends, not so much on novelty or punch line, as on displaying these incongruities of Israeli identity. Oring also discusses the sociocultural context in which the chizbat developed and examines how various theories of humor apply to understanding the chizbat. In an appendix invaluable for the folklorist, Oring has translated hundreds of chizbat into English. some are from written sources and others are verbal accounts he obtained during his months of research in Israel.
