The annual number of airline passengers has continued to increase in the past decade, putting great strain on the airports. Increasing volumes of passengers and freight will continue making demands for expansion of airport facilities and construction of new airports. Traditionally airport design and airport operation have been treated separately, yet they are closely related and influence each other. Poor design adversely affects operation; sound understanding of operation is needed to enable good design.The aim of this book is to present a new and integrated approach to the two. This second edition includes some important changes in the international regulations covering design and operations. It reflects the greater attention being given to security, safety and the environment, together with changes in the technology and the way the air transport industry operates. New sections on collaborative decision making and low visibility operations strengthen the operational character of this book. Two completely new chapters have been added covering the topical problems of cargo and radio navigation aids and the chapter on passenger terminals has been enhanced considerably.

This series provides readers with essays which focus on behaviour as it expresses brain mechanisms. In this volume, Dennis Lorenz presents a comprehensive theory of ingestion and satiety, and Harry Shair and Myron Hofer discuss the interaction of sleeping and feeding in the young, providing original experiments and discussing their results in greater depth than journal articles allow. Sleep is the sole focus of the essay by Dennis McGinity and Jerry Siegel. They not only offer insights into the neural regulation of sleep gained from chronic single-unit studies, but also include a thorough description of the microwire technique they used to relate neuronal activity to behaviour.

"The articles in this volume of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society cover an exciting and diverse range of topics relating to law's relationship with and impact on society. Two articles cover immigration, but from very different perspectives. One examines the legal-cultural attitude of immigrants from the former Soviet Union to Israel while the other investigates US Immigration Policy and the notion of 'child saving'. Other articles cover the institutional dynamics of same-sex marriage debates in America; the anti-strip mining movement in central Appalachia; an analysis of the death penalty in Maricopa County, Arizona, one of the most active death penalty locales in the contemporary U.S; and affirmative defenses at the International Criminal Court."

Support staff in schools are increasingly recognised as playing an important, though often undefined, role in inclusive education.
