A major study of the transformation of early modern London. By focusing on policing, prosecution, and the language and perceptions of the authorities and the underclasses, Paul Griffiths explores the swift growth of London and the changes to its cultures, communities, and environments. Through a series of thematic chapters he maps problem areas and people; reconstructs the atmosphere of the streets; and traces the development of policing in the city. The book provided the first full study of petty crime before 1660, analysing worlds and words of crime, criminal rings and cultures, and tracking changing meanings of crime to reveal alternative emphases on environmental crimes and crimes committed by women. It also examines the key roles of Bridewell prison, hospitals, medical provision, and penal practices, shedding light on investigation, detection, surveillance, and public prosecution. Viewed through this fascinating account, the city will never look the same again.
This book is a comprehensive study of Liu Tsang-yüan (773–819), a major literary and intellectual figure in Chinese history. The major aspects of Liu's life and work are explored: the social and cultural background of his family, his relationship with the ku-wen prose reforms and new canonical scholarship in the mid-T'ang, his social and political criticism, his views on Confucian doctrine, and his sentiments and reflections regarding the private realm of human life. Its scope goes beyond the 'life and thought' of this principal intellectual figure in its special emphasis on the connections between Liu's thought and mid-T'ang intellectual change, modifying the conventional view that the mid-T'ang Confucian revival led by Han Yü (768–824) and Liu Tsung-yüan was a precursor of Sung Neo-Confucianism. Chen suggests that the mid-T'ang Confucian movement was essentially a revival of an old form of Confucianism and that Liu's was a powerful voice expressing this sentiment. This in-depth study also encompasses a general interpretation of the nature of the T'ang-Sung intellectual transition. Anyone familiar with the intriguing yet elusive Liu Tsang-yüan will find this book fascinating.
International Tourism reconceptualizes the local and the global, avoiding such crude oppositions as centre v periphery, modern v traditional and North v South, demonstrating that the local cannot be understood without the global, and that the global can never be isolated from the regional setting within which it operates.

Remote Sensing Imagery Florence Tupin (Editor), Jordi Inglada (Editor), Jean-Marie Nicolas (Editor) ISBN: 978-1-84821-508-5 368 pages January 2014, Wiley-ISTE Remote Sensing Imagery (1848215088) cover image Read an Excerpt Description Dedicated to remote sensing images, from their acquisition to their use in various applications, this book covers the global lifecycle of images, including sensors and acquisition systems, applications such as movement monitoring or data assimilation, and image and data processing. It is organized in three main parts. The first part presents technological information about remote sensing (choice of satellite orbit and sensors) and elements of physics related to sensing (optics and microwave propagation). The second part presents image processing algorithms and their specificities for radar or optical, multi and hyper-spectral images. The final part is devoted to applications: change detection and analysis of time series, elevation measurement, displacement measurement and data assimilation. Offering a comprehensive survey of the domain of remote sensing imagery with a multi-disciplinary approach, this book is suitable for graduate students and engineers, with backgrounds either in computer science and applied math (signal and image processing) or geo-physics.
Standing in the portico of the Stock Exchange on the 2otb of Septem ber and the 15th of October, 1873, those black and bitter days in the reckoning of Wall street, we saw the bolts fall out of the great darkness, saw the proudest and strongest smitten to the earth, saw the fabric Whith years had builded, melt away like an unsubstantial pageant, saw the long lines of mourners from the house of Vanderbilt and the house of Gould, saw the rueful faces and heard the doleful lamentations.
In issuing this selection of letters from the original book, we we desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to the publishers, Messrs. Small, Maynard and Company, for permission to use a certain number of these letters in this way, and also to the artists, 8. Martin Justice and F. R. Gruger, for the use of some of the illustrations. To those who enjoy reading these letters we heartily commend the complete work, which c'ontains a number of others equally entertaining and helpful.
Mutagenicity: Assays and Applications presents an extensive examination of the detection, assessment and future of mutagenicity, particularly as it concerns human health and the environment. Chapters focused on specific types of mutagens or testing methods for their detection collectively explore the current state of human and environmental mutagenesis, future perspectives and regulatory needs. The test procedures for measuring mutagenicity, their advantages and limitations are described with practical and procedural detail, along with their presentation and data processing aspects. It is an essential reference covering the breadth and depth of the field of mutagenicity studies and regulation. By providing both important introductory material and practical assays and applications, this book is useful to graduate students, academic and industry researchers and regulators at various stages of their careers, leading to improved risk assessment and regulation.Presents an up-to-date and in-depth review of the current state of mutagenesis researchDraws upon the combined experience and expertise of an international group of highly respected editors and chapter authorsProvides an introduction to the concept of mutagenesis with particular consideration given to novel chemicals and materials
