This revised edition of the Dictionary of British Place-Names includes over 17,000 engaging and informative entries, tracing the development of the featured place-names from earliest times to the present day. Included place-names range from the familiar to the obscure, among them 'Beer', 'Findlater', 'Broadbottom', and 'Great Snoring'. The A to Z entries are complemented by a detailed introductory essay discussing the chronology and development of English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish place-names, as well as an extensive bibliography, maps of Britain showing old and new boundaries, and a glossary of common elements in place-names. Also new to this edition is an appendix of recommended web links pointing to relevant online resources, thereby expanding the scope of the dictionary and providing the reader with an opportunity to explore the subject further. Both accessible and up to date, this dictionary is an ideal companion for anybody travelling around the British Isles, as well as for researchers and students with an interest in toponomy, local history, cartography, and lexicography.

This book takes a detailed look at design principles for pneumatic conveying systems and illustrates these with examples and case histories. WSL and Thames Polytechnic, where most of the experimental work for this book was carried out, both have excellent reputations for their extensive research. Their collaboration with a consortium of industrial manufacturers and users of pneumatic conveying equipment has resulted in this authoritative guide. The book is in two parts - a full and detailed reference book including case histories and their solutions and an accompanying abbreviated guide containing salient design guidelines. Data on a variety of materials will be invaluable to those designing systems to handle these materials. The guide will also prove essential to those not so familiar with pneumatic conveying, providing information on the types of systems available and their capabilities. Both parts of the set are available separately.

In this richly entertaining and highly readable volume, you'll enjoy David Mills' irreverent challenge to the charlatans of science fraud. You'll be shocked to learn:* Why most popular Self-Help books are filled with scientific misstatements, mythology, and harmful advice.* Why chiropractic healthcare is a religion, based on the phony theory of an Iowa grocer and fish peddler.* Why lie-detectors are a "sick joke," often implicating innocent people.* Why really our public schools are a hopeless debacle and a combat zone.* Why psychotherapy and the self-esteem movement are witchcraft.* Why police crime labs routinely and deliberately falsify test results.* Why religion -- all religion -- is derived from ancient superstition.* Why you can never judge a person's character or truthfulness by his appearance or by "looking into his eyes."* Why sex education has failed to safeguard our children from teen pregnancy and disease, and why a little pornography may be good for you!* Why and how you can teach your baby to read -- starting at birth.* Why pseudoscience is rapidly subverting American culture.

Tory loyalty, in addition to demanding unquestioning adherence to the imperial connection, was exclusive. It was used both to distinguish Loyalists from the American late-comers and to differentiate supporters of the political status quo from opponents of the administration. Tories and Reformers attached different qualities to loyalty. Although the Tories framed the political debate, a moderate Reform conception developed in response. The importance of loyalty was unchallenged by moderate Reformers, but they wished to redefine it in ways that would legitimize their own political goals. They appealed to British political traditions that emphasized the idea of individual dissent based on constitutional rights and the necessary independence of legislators threatened by the use of prerogative power as well as the corruption of the executive. By the 1830s, the polarization of politics seemed to offer only two choices - loyalty or disloyalty. This transitional period led to the emergence of moderate and accommodative Toryism as a response to the exclusiveness of the Family Compact. Moderate Toryism developed because other groups, who were not prepared to give up their political and social exclusion, had been drawn into the debate. The moderate Reformers survived through the 1840s and entered the administration. Tories also prospered through adoption of the Reform position permitting new groups to enter the High Tory elite. The result was the formation of a conservative consensus which dominated Upper Canada, whose conservatism lay in a new definition of loyalty which had evolved through the initiatives of moderate Reformers.

A consciousness of the past has been an essential determinant of community in the city of Chester, England. This awareness and fascination has been bolstered by a strong civic tradition of drama. In particular, the city's Whitsun Plays have been a vehicle for communicating the myth of the city's medieval heritage, helping to reinforce the sense of history that is part of Chester's identity.Building up the material in REED: Chester, David Mills has produced a detailed study of Chester's Whitsun Plays in their local, physical, social, political, cultural, and religious context. A continuum has survived between the Middle Ages and the present day, providing not only an understanding of the plays themselves, but a narrative of the ways in which manuscripts survive and the functions that they serve. The continued performance of these plays is significant of modern play revivals as a political and sociological phenomenon, demonstrating the power that these rituals and plays still hold.>Recycling the Cycle is not only a look at how medieval and Renaissance cultural traditions developed and were maintained over centuries, but an insight into how those traditions can stay fresh and relevant, even today.
