Kidnap

Colin R Armstrong

i2i Publishing
2025
nidottu
This is the true story of the kidnap for ransom of Colin Armstrong, a former British Consul to Ecuador, and his girlfriend, Kate, on 15th December 2023. Against the background of an ever more violent Ecuador, which in recent years has seen the proliferation of Narco gangs, he had been warned many times not to take chances, to use an armoured vehicle with an escort, to alter the route and times he drove to his ranch. But he laughed it off. Until the day it happened. After his release, his lifestyle changed dramatically. Habits of fifty years have to go. He has to relearn and adapt his life to what is possible. The Ecuador he loved has vanished to become a dangerous state. His personal situation with his family has to change too. The press coverage of the kidnap makes it impossible to carry on as before. In addition to charting the consequences of the kidnap, the book is also a travelogue of his life for the twelve months after his release, with fascinating details of ultra-luxury travel to Antarctica, plus earlier trips to Japan, the Galapagos Islands, Everest, and a Rwanda safari.

Whitehall Watching: - reflections on innovation, inertia and ineptitude in British government (2003-2008)

Whitehall Watching: - reflections on innovation, inertia and ineptitude in British government (2003-2008)

Colin R. Talbot Phd

The period 2003-2008 was the height of the New Labour government UK. Having been elected in 1997, New Labour had embarked on an ambitious reform program for Government and public services. The center-piece of these reforms was a new system of what has sometimes been called "performance budgeting" - a combined system of 3-year "Spending Reviews" and a set of performance targets called "Public Service Agreements". Colin Talbot analyzed these developments and other reforms in Whitehall as they happened. As a frequent expert witness and specialist adviser to Select Committees in both Houses of Parliament and an adviser to the UKs National Audit Office Talbot had a unique vantage point to view these changes. As a former practitioner himself, Talbot brought an experienced and realistically critical eye to the understanding of these developments. Frequently holding up a mirror to Government and Whitehall, he often asked "are you really doing what you say you're doing, and is it working?". In over 50 articles written for a variety of practitioner and other media outlets as these events unfolded, Talbot both chronicles and critiques the reforms. As a "first draft of history" this collection is a valuable contemporary source.

Immobilization of Cells

Immobilization of Cells

Colin R. Phillips; Yiu Cheong Poon

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2011
nidottu
Growth of immobilized cells can be viewed as an alternative to growth of free cells in many instances. In others, immobilization confers a precision of control over the process not possible in free growth. Immobilization of cells can sometimes be considered to be a lower cost alternative to immobilization of enzymes. In this volume, immobilization procedures based on mechanical means and bonding of various types are examined, with detailed application examples. These applications include microorganisms, plant and animal cells, sub-cellular organelles and multiple enzyme systems. Particular attention is devoted to enzyme properties in immobilized cells and the properties of the carrier. The volume should provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the subject, together with copious references. As well as serving as a research monograph, it could be used to provide reference material for a graduate course. Special thanks are due Mrs. JENNIFER KERBY for her dedicated work in the preparation of the manuscript, and IT-CHIN HSIEH for bibliographical assistance. COLIN R. PHILLIPS Toronto, July 1988 YIU C.

Lecture Notes On Emerging Viruses And Human Health: A Guide To Zoonotic Viruses And Their Impact

Lecture Notes On Emerging Viruses And Human Health: A Guide To Zoonotic Viruses And Their Impact

Colin R Howard

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2012
sidottu
Emerging diseases are a major threat to modern societies, impacting individual welfare as well as economic development. The trend of newly emerging diseases has accelerated in the last two decades to such an extent that a new emerging infection is described at least once a year.The majority of such threats to modern society have been due to emergent viruses. This series of lecture notes provides grounding in understanding the drivers of disease emergence, the molecular processes which allow for virus diversity, the response of the host and environmental factors responsible for changing the balance between host and pathogen. Groups of viruses are described, each selected to illustrate certain features of disease emergence. These examples best illustrate how from past experience we may best be able to predict future outbreaks of novel diseases.Expecting the unexpected is a major challenge for health care personnel and public health officials alike, and the stakes have never been higher. As such, this book provides a timely overview of how best to prepare for disease emergence as it intends to increase awareness of how vulnerable modern society is in preparedness for such events.

From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica

From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica

Nicholl Colin R.

Cambridge University Press
2008
pokkari
This ground breaking analysis cuts to the heart of the critical debate surrounding the two Thessalonian Epistles. Colin R. Nicholl examines the situations giving rise to each Letter with a view to determining how the two relate historically. His book presents an original and compelling hypothesis, arguing that reflected in the Letters are two stages of a single crisis plaguing a recently formed Greek Church, which spiralled from hope into despair on account of confusion about 'the end'. In addition to making a fresh case for the authenticity of 2 Thessalonians and resolving one of the most difficult problems in the Bible - the identity of 'the Restrainer' - this monograph is a comprehensive analysis of the Thessalonian Epistles. It will provide an indispensable resource for scholars and pastors interested in the Thessalonian correspondence.

Ecology

Ecology

Michael Begon; Colin R. Townsend

Wiley-Blackwell
2021
nidottu
A definitive guide to the depth and breadth of the ecological sciences, revised and updated The revised and updated fifth edition of Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems – now in full colour – offers students and practitioners a review of the ecological sciences. The previous editions of this book earned the authors the prestigious ‘Exceptional Life-time Achievement Award’ of the British Ecological Society – the aim for the fifth edition is not only to maintain standards but indeed to enhance its coverage of Ecology. In the first edition, 34 years ago, it seemed acceptable for ecologists to hold a comfortable, objective, not to say aloof position, from which the ecological communities around us were simply material for which we sought a scientific understanding. Now, we must accept the immediacy of the many environmental problems that threaten us and the responsibility of ecologists to play their full part in addressing these problems. This fifth edition addresses this challenge, with several chapters devoted entirely to applied topics, and examples of how ecological principles have been applied to problems facing us highlighted throughout the remaining nineteen chapters. Nonetheless, the authors remain wedded to the belief that environmental action can only ever be as sound as the ecological principles on which it is based. Hence, while trying harder than ever to help improve preparedness for addressing the environmental problems of the years ahead, the book remains, in its essence, an exposition of the science of ecology. This new edition incorporates the results from more than a thousand recent studies into a fully up-to-date text. Written for students of ecology, researchers and practitioners, the fifth edition of Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems is anessential reference to all aspects of ecology and addresses environmental problems of the future.

Academic Press Inc
2016
sidottu
Fenner and White's Medical Virology, Fifth Edition provides an integrated view of related sciences, from cell biology, to medical epidemiology and human social behavior. The perspective represented by this book, that of medical virology as an infectious disease science, is meant to provide a starting point, an anchor, for those who must relate the subject to clinical practice, public health practice, scholarly research, and other endeavors. The book presents detailed exposition on the properties of viruses, how viruses replicate, and how viruses cause disease. These chapters are then followed by an overview of the principles of diagnosis, epidemiology, and how virus infections can be controlled. The first section concludes with a discussion on emergence and attempts to predict the next major public health challenges. These form a guide for delving into the specific diseases of interest to the reader as described in Part II. This lucid and concise, yet comprehensive, text is admirably suited to the needs of not only advanced students of science and medicine, but also postgraduate students, teachers, and research workers in all areas of virology.

The Herero Wind

The Herero Wind

C R Colin

Christopher Ronald Colin
2025
pokkari
The Herero Wind is a sweeping and deeply felt work of historical fiction, set during the 1904 Herero genocide in German South West Africa, today known as Namibia. With an eye for human courage and a storyteller's instinct for truth, it brings to life one of the earliest genocides of the twentieth century and the people who fought to survive it. When Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha sends out his extermination order, the Herero are driven across dry and unforgiving country where heat, thirst and hunger wait for them like patient hunters. Among those forced into flight is Kohepa, an experienced scout carrying a forbidden message that may offer a spark of hope. He is joined by his young brother who has not yet learned the full cost of survival, a missionary's daughter who chooses mercy over fear, and companions who find strength in one another when the world around them begins to collapse. The novel follows their journey through a landscape of vast skies, shifting ground and arid plains that hold both danger and memory. The land becomes a quiet presence that tests each character in ways they never expected and reminds them of what must be carried forward. Written with emotional honesty and a strong sense of place, The Herero Wind is suited to readers who are drawn to Namibia historical fiction, survival historical fiction, German colonial fiction and colonial Africa novels. It is a story about endurance, loyalty and the will to remain human when history turns violent. Through vivid detail and a cast of memorable voices, it pays tribute to those who refused to disappear and to the stories that move with the wind across the interior of South West Africa.

Quaternary Coral Reef Systems

Quaternary Coral Reef Systems

Lucien F. Montaggioni; Colin J.R. Braithwaite

Elsevier Science Ltd
2009
sidottu
This book presents both state-of-the art knowledge from Recent coral reefs (1.8 million to a few centuries old) gained since the eighties, and introduces geologists, oceanographers and environmentalists to sedimentological and paleoecological studies of an ecosystem encompassing some of the world's richest biodiversity. Scleractinian reefs first appeared about 300 million years ago. Today coral reef systems provide some of the most sensitive gauges of environmental change, expressing the complex interplay of chemical, physical, geological and biological factors. The topics covered will include the evolutionary history of reef systems and some of the main reef builders since the Cenozoic, the effects of biological and environmental forces on the zonation of reef systems and the distribution of reef organisms and on reef community dynamics through time, changes in the geometry, anatomy and stratigraphy of reef bodies and systems in relation to changes in sea level and tectonics, the distribution patterns of sedimentary (framework or detrital) facies in relation to those of biological communities, the modes and rates of reef accretion (progradation, aggradation versus backstepping; coral growth versus reef growth), the hydrodynamic forces controlling water circulation through reef structures and their relationship to early diagenetic processes, the major diagenetic processes affecting reef bodies through time (replacement and diddolution, dolomitization, phosphatogenesis), and the record of climate change by both individual coral colonies and reef systems over the Quaternary.
