Written by experienced expeditioners, the handbook is organized in to eight main sections and includes information on fieldcraft, diagnosis and treatment of medical problems encountered during an expedition (divided anatomically), environmental hazards, crisis management and issues to be dealt with after returning home. It also covers basic information about how to plan for an expedition, how to keep the expedition members healthy, how to diagnose and manage their medical problems in remote environments and provide brief summaries of medical problems peculiar to different expedition environments. This pocket-sized book contains all you need to know to minimise health risks, to protect your health and to deal with unexpected medical problems while you are travelling in remote, wilderness areas of the world.

* A primer on basic photography with examples from professionals and how they achieved their results * A unique discussion on the Zone System in color and digital photography * Two Zone System testing methods * Ten detailed and accurate development time charts for the most popular films A newly revised version of a photography classic, Practical Zone System, Second Edition makes this important method available to beginning, large format, 35mm and professional photographers. In addition to demonstrating what the Zone System is and how it works, Practical Zone System, Second Edition shows how to assess prints and negatices for contrast, recognize the zones both on the print and in real life, previsualize photographs and expose accordingly, and test equipment and chemicals for reliable, consistent results. There are numerous photographs and easy-to-read diagrams, as well as a glossary of zone system terminology.

The subject of the zone system is now very much in the mainstream among amateur as well as professional photographers. This newly revised edition of a photography classic teaches photographers how to recognize the zones both on the print and in the field or studio, to pre-visualize their photograph and expose accordingly, to access their prints and negatives for contrast, and to test equipment for reliable results. This book has been updated to include information on the latest developers and films. New illustrations have been added to reflect the most contemporary photographic styles, and information on digital imaging supplied in the second edition has been expanded into a new chapter. The practical approach of this book, with its numerous time-saving development and film charts and easy-to-follow testing methods, is an important resource for the beginning, large-format, 35mm, and professional photographer.

The Practical Zone System

The Practical Zone System: for Film and Digital Photography 4th edition is an updated version of what has become the classic book on the technique developed by Ansel Adams in the 1940's. The zone system was designed to provide photographers with a precise and intuitive way to control the dynamic range of their negatives to produce printable results regardless of the contrast of the subjects they are shooting. What Chris Johnson has done in this new edition is completely update his approach to teaching the zone system with new film/developer testing data and new illustrations and examples. Most importantly, he has added an extensive new chapter that provides a detailed explanation for how the zone system's conceptual approach and terminology can help digital photographers achieve the highest possible quality from digital image processes. The emphasis is on subjects that include: optimizing digital camera exposure, color management and a fine printing workflow. Other important updates include: * Workflow for fine digital printing * Contemporary images * Updated film/developer test data * New film/developer tests * Updated Appendixes * New full color edition includes updates on workflow for fine digital printing, contemporary images, and film/developer test data * Save time using the numerous development and film charts and easy-to-follow testing methods in the book * New emphasis on the role that Zone System concepts can play in digital photographic processes, while keeping all information from previous edition for film shooters

The Practical Zone System: For Film and Digital Photography

In this fifth edition of The Practical Zone System, Chris Johnson updates his classic manual on Ansel Adams's landmark technique for the digital age. Whether you are a beginning, large-format, or professional photographer; whether you work with digital or film; and whether you shoot in black and white or color, the simple visual language called Previsualization will help you to control contrast in order to create beautiful photographs. Entirely new to this edition is a chapter applying Zone System concepts to studio photography. Using Bill Brant's "Nude, Campden Hill London, 1949, May" (cover image) as an inspiration, Johnson demonstrates how the Zone System, traditionally considered to be a methodology limited to the uses of films and developers, is actually a universal visual and conceptual language that dramatically simplifies the problem of creating and rendering complex studio lighting setups.

The second edition provides examination practice of multiple choice questions on the basic science for the diploma of Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthefists (FRCA). The questions are arranged in mock papers of 30 MCQS. This will allow candidates to time themselves in answering questions similar to those they will encounter in the actual examination. Each paper is followed by annotated answers. Aimed primarily at the part 2 FRCA, many of the simpler topics will be relevant to part 1 and will provide revision for part 3. The text will also benefit candidates studying for the European Diploma of Anaesthesiology. There is a new co-editor - Peter Simpson and 15% of the questions are entirely new. Most questions have been altered or replaced. In addition, answers have been expanded.

This book provides a comprehensive description of Radio Access Networks for UMTS . The main content is based upon the release 6 version of the 3GPP specifications. Changes since the release 99 version are described while some of the new features from the release 7 version are introduced. 
Starting from the high-level network architecture, the first sections describe the flow of data between the network and end-user. This includes a dedicated chapter describing the Iub transport network. Detailed descriptions of both HSDPA and HSUPA reflect the increasing importance of efficient high data rate connections. Signalling procedures are described for speech, video and PS data connection establishment, SMS data transfer, soft handover and inter-system handover. The more practical subjects of link budgets and radio network planning are also addressed. <ul>
<li>More than 180 example log files reinforce the reader's understanding</li> </ul>
<ul>
<li>Summary bullet points allow rapid access to the most important information</li> </ul>
<ul>
<li>Focus upon how data is transferred between the network and end-user</li> </ul>
<ul>
<li>Dedicated chapters provide detailed descriptions of both HSDPA and HSUPA</li> </ul>
<ul>
<li>Step-by-step analysis of common signalling procedures</li> </ul>
<ul>
<li>Key radio network planning subjects addressed</li> </ul>
Radio Access Networks for UMTS is ideal for mobile telecommunications engineers working for equipment vendors, operators and regulators. It will also appeal to system designers, technical managers and students.

Australia's Mammal Extinctions: A 50,000-Year History

Of the forty mammal species known to have vanished in the world in the last 200 years, almost half have been Australian. Our continent has the worst record of mammal extinctions, with over 65 mammal species having vanished in the last 50 000 years. It began with the great wave of megafauna extinctions in the last ice-age, and continues today, with many mammal species vulnerable to extinction. The question of why mammals became extinct, and why so many became extinct in Australia has been debated by experts for over a century and a half and we are no closer to agreement on the causes. This book introduces readers to the great mammal extinction debate. Chris Johnson takes us on a detective-like tour of these extinctions, uncovering how, why and when they occurred.
