The global environment is a complex mix of interlinked processes, about which observation can tell us a great deal. But how can we use current observation to model future events, or to predict the consequences of scenarios that don't yet exist? Environmental Modelling: An Introduction shows how modelling can be used to explain experimental observations, and how these observations - and the data gathered - can be extrapolated to help us understand new environments and processes, and to solve environmental problems. The book begins by explaining why modelling is such a powerful experimental tool, before walking the reader through the process of constructing a model - what the key considerations are, and how different models should be used to probe different types of problem. It then illustrates how models are actively applied, before introducing a series of case studies to show how modelling has been used in real environmental and ecological studies. Accompanied by an extensive Online Resource Center to support active, hands-on learning on the part of the student, Environmental Modelling: An Introduction is the ideal resource for any student who needs to develop a working understanding of modelling, and how to apply modelling in their own research. Online Resource Center: - Figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparation-Interactive spreadsheets to encourage learning through hands-on experience

Lemon Grove dates to 1892 when it first appeared in the San Diego County records as "Lemon Grove." The tiny, whistle-stop town emerged during the "second gold rush," the rise of California's citrus industry, which was facilitated by the 1849 Gold Rush, the break up of the Mexican ranchos in Alta California, and the advent of statehood for California in 1850. Land speculators poured into California, lured by the exquisite climate, five growing seasons, and the possibilities for success in agriculture and business. Lemon Grove became home to gentlemen farmers from the East and Midwest, whose descendants live on in the community to this day.

Since 1987 more than 300 buildings and outdoor sculptures have been listed for their special architectural and historic interest. From humble prefabs to the colossal Park Hill, Sheffield, the range of listed buildings is staggering. This is the first complete gazetteer. Sir Albert Richardson's Bracken House, built for the Financial Times in 1955-59, was the first post-war building to be officially listed, when it was threatened with demolition. Listing led to its remodelling by Michael Hopkins in 1989-91, a demonstration of how the conservation process can inspire radical architectural interventions. Subsequent listings have been prompted by requests from the public when a building is threatened, or from detailed studies by building type. Buildings range from traditional works by Raymond Erith and Donald McMorran and many of the 'pop icons' of the 1960s such as Centre Point, to internationally outstanding modern works like Stirling and Gowans' Leicester Engineering Building and Foster Associates' offices for Willis Corroon in Ipswich.

A hilarious guide to business from a stubborn ginger cat. Although the words productivity and cat might not often be seen in the same sentence, Office Cat somehow manages to claw himself and his fluffy Meow-nagement Team a tasty yearly profit in shrimp and catnip, while still getting his twenty hours of sleep a day. How does he do it? The answer is simple—employ a support staff of infatuated humans, who not only accept your every feline foible but downright adore them! However, as Office Cat demonstrates, humans still require careful handling—from dealing with their constant questioning of the value of weekly can-opening workshops to being mindful of their preference for your staying awake when they’re addressing you. Animal-loving work shirkers the world over will fall in love with Office Cat and his humorous business guide, which pokes fun at both the way cats see the world and the eagerness of humans to be at the beck and call of their furry overlords.
