Join Freddie and Teddy as they go off on an adventure. Unfortunately, it was not the trip that they were expecting.Science storiesWritten for the inquisitive minds of children, this book aims to introduce the wonders of the physical world. Scientific concepts are introduced in a fun and understandable way, helping and encouraging children to enquire and learn.With the rapid pace of technological development, it is important that children are introduced and exposed to key scientific concepts at an early age. Connecting children with these ideas early in life through storytelling provides familiarity with these topics to assist them with their ongoing education. Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills have become extremely important to keep up with the continually changing world around us and will be essential for careers of the future. These books encourage children to develop a curiosity and passion for understanding the world around us, so they may go on to become lifelong learners who are scientifically-literate and value evidence-based practice.About the authorDr Darryl Jones has more than a decade of experience in lecturing and conducting scientific research at universities in Australia and Japan. He is an internationally-regarded research scientist, having published more than 60 peer- reviewed scientific manuscripts. Darryl is routinely invited to present his research findings at international conferences, and his work is often highlighted in the media. Through his career he has developed a passion for science and science education, which has fuelled his motivation to develop a series of children's books.

Why God Gave Us Guns: and other Stories Without Meaning

Recently, I read somewhere that Calvin Trillin once said (something like): 'The problem with writing satire in America, is that it's difficult to invent something so completely bizarre that it might not actually occur before what you've written is published.' That fear has haunted me since the day I began work on this piece. Though, clearly, whoever is grinding out the idiocy these days doesn't need any help from me. But, it is becoming more difficult to find humor in the fact that a great nation is being held hostage by a tiny handful of hyper-sensitive lamebrains, who have gotten themselves into the position where what they say is taken seriously rather than ridiculed loudly, laughed at openly, dismissed entirely, and quickly forgotten. When it comes to politics, of course most of us prefer dreaming to almost anything reality might offer, but, it's time to wake up.
Hania Hawke is an irregular; a super-powered being in a society that hasn't quite accepted them as commonplace. In hopes of being an irregular who helps rather than harms, Hania decides to use his lightning powers to become a superhero using the name Raiden. But when he finds himself in a conflict of identity and his first super villain, he must ask him: Can a smart-mouthed young man with daddy issues save anyone? Does he have the right to?

What would you do if the Dr. came into the room and told you, "Your test results came back. You tested positive for HIV."? What would you do if you knew specifically the partner that transmitted the virus to you and were unable to successfully make contact with them? What if you found out they lied to you about their status and your naive belief in their words landed you in a hospital at 29 with seizures and an HIV diagnosis? Would you be angry? Hurt? Scared?I was all of those things and more HIV is not a small circumstance to deal with. It is life altering in so many ways But I realized the self inflicted pain I was living in as a result of not forgiving was even worse than HIV itself This book details how I navigated my HIV diagnosis as well as how I arrived at a place of forgiveness toward the individual that transmitted the virus to me.

Many social theorists claim that the end of the 20th century was the beginning of the "postmodern" era, a time in which many time-honoured ideas were rejected. Trans Toronto explores the claim that trans people demonstrate a wide-spread repudiation of modern conceptions of selfhood and gender. But the opinions of those who live trans lives have yet to be explored. How do trans people understand gender? What do they think of the assertions of postmodern gender theory? Trans Toronto documents answers to these questions in an oral history of Toronto's trans communities at the end of the 20th century telling the story of gender and sex in the context of dramatic cultural and historical change.
In Justice in Extreme Cases, Darryl Robinson argues that the encounter between criminal law theory and international criminal law (ICL) can be illuminating in two directions: criminal law theory can challenge and improve ICL, and conversely, ICL's novel puzzles can challenge and improve mainstream criminal law theory. Robinson recommends a 'coherentist' method for discussions of principles, justice and justification. Coherentism recognizes that prevailing understandings are fallible, contingent human constructs. This book will be a valuable resource to scholars and jurists in ICL, as well as scholars of criminal law theory and legal philosophy.
The Rhetoric of Diversion in English Literature and Culture, 1690–1760
Darryl P. Domingo

Why did eighteenth-century writers employ digression as a literary form of diversion, and how did their readers come to enjoy linguistic and textual devices that self-consciously disrupt the reading experience? Darryl P. Domingo answers these questions through an examination of the formative period in the commercialization of leisure in England, and the coincidental coming of age of literary self-consciousness in works published between approximately 1690 and 1760. During this period, commercial entertainers tested out new ways of gratifying a public increasingly eager for amusement, while professional writers explored the rhetorical possibilities of intrusion, obstruction, and interruption through their characteristic use of devices like digression. Such devices adopt similar forms and fulfil similar functions in literature as do diversions in culture: they 'unbend the mind' and reveal the complex reciprocity between commercialized leisure and commercial literature in the age of Swift, Pope, and Fielding.
The Economics of Electricity Markets

Bridges the knowledge gap between engineering and economics in a complex and evolving deregulated electricity industry, enabling readers to understand, operate, plan and design a modern power system With an accessible and progressive style written in straight-forward language, this book covers everything an engineer or economist needs to know to understand, operate within, plan and design an effective liberalized electricity industry, thus serving as both a useful teaching text and a valuable reference. The book focuses on principles and theory which are independent of any one market design. It outlines where the theory is not implemented in practice, perhaps due to other over-riding concerns. The book covers the basic modelling of electricity markets, including the impact of uncertainty (an integral part of generation investment decisions and transmission cost-benefit analysis). It draws out the parallels to the Nordpool market (an important point of reference for Europe). Written from the perspective of the policy-maker, the first part provides the introductory background knowledge required. This includes an understanding of basic economics concepts such as supply and demand, monopoly, market power and marginal cost. The second part of the book asks how a set of generation, load, and transmission resources should be efficiently operated, and the third part focuses on the generation investment decision. Part 4 addresses the question of the management of risk and Part 5 discusses the question of market power. Any power system must be operated at all times in a manner which can accommodate the next potential contingency. This demands responses by generators and loads on a very short timeframe. Part 6 of the book addresses the question of dispatch in the very short run, introducing the distinction between preventive and corrective actions and why preventive actions are sometimes required. The seventh part deals with pricing issues that arise under a regionally-priced market, such as the Australian NEM. This section introduces the notion of regions and interconnectors and how to formulate constraints for the correct pricing outcomes (the issue of "constraint orientation"). Part 8 addresses the fundamental and difficult issue of efficient transmission investment, and finally Part 9 covers issues that arise in the retail market. Bridges the gap between engineering and economics in electricity, covering both the economics and engineering knowledge needed to accurately understand, plan and develop the electricity marketComprehensive coverage of all the key topics in the economics of electricity marketsCovers the latest research and policy issues as well as description of the fundamental concepts and principles that can be applied across all markets globallyNumerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problemsCompanion website holding solutions to problems set out in the book, also the relevant simulation (GAMS) codes
As the world’s energy sources continue to develop, with less reliance on traditional fossil fuels and more reliance on cleaner, more efficient, alternative energy sources, nuclear power continues to be a dividing point for many people. Some believe it is the answer to our energy problems for the future, while others warn of the risks. Written by a retired scientist who spent most of his career at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), this book aims to delve into the issues surrounding nuclear power and dispel its myths, while building an argument for why the United States should develop a nuclear power plan for the future. As a “whistleblower,” the author spent much of the last ten years of his career at the INL raising concerns about how its mission of serving as the Department of Energy’s lead laboratory in radioactive waste management was not being properly managed. While the United States continues to tread water on the issue of nuclear energy, the author believes that a nuclear “renaissance” is not only possible but is necessary for meeting the world’s growing demand for energy, especially clean energy. With fossil fuels slowly dying out and renewable energy sources not able to handle the demand for a continuously growing energy-consuming public, nuclear is an obvious solution. This book is a must-have for any engineer working in nuclear power, students hoping to go into that industry, and other engineers and scientists interested in the subject. This book is both “technical” and “political” because they’re equally important in determining what actually happens in institutions dealing with technical problems.
This book provides an extensive and original analysis of the way that written and spoken communication facilitates creative practice in the university art and design studio. Challenging the established view of creativity as a personal attribute which can be objectively measured, the author demonstrates instead that creativity and creative practice are constructed through a complex array of intersecting discourses, each shaped by wider socio-historical contexts, beliefs and values. The author draws upon a range of methods and resources to capture this dynamic complexity from corpus linguistics to ethnography and multimodal analysis. This innovative volume will appeal to students and scholars of discourse analysis, creativity, and applied linguistics. It will also appeal to art and design educators.
Published in 1998, this book argues that in recent decades, Anglo-American philosophy of language has been captivated by the idea that the key to progress in this area of philosophy lies in investigating the possibility of constructing a theory of meaning. This text provides an in-depth critique of the Davidsonian suggestion that Tarski's work on formal definitions of truth is an important element in allowing us to understand the form that the theory of meaning should take.
