All the Best Rubbish: The Classic Ode to Collecting

All the Best Rubbish: The Classic Ode to Collecting

Ivor Noel Hume

HARPER PAPERBACKS
2009
nidottu
"A delight. All the Best Rubbish is one of those rare volumes that both instruct and entertain. I recommend it to any collector." --Harold L. Peterson, Chief Curator, US National Park ServiceIvor Noel Hume, the former chief archaeologist of Colonial Williamsburg, offers a delightful, anecdotal, and informative celebration of the joys of collecting. In his newly revised edition, All the Best Rubbish traces the fascinating history of collecting from its recorded beginnings and describes the remarkable detective work that goes into establishing the probable facts about uncovered and often underappreciated treasures. Now expanded with hints, tips, and helpful information about antique-hunting online, All the Best Rubbish is the ideal book for the antiquarian or amateur.No l Hume has pursued bottles, pottery, clocks, and coins through junk shops, street markets, attics, and cellars on two continents. He's unearthed the most fascinating--and valuable--rubbish from the most unlikely places: the shores of the Thames in London; the lagoons of the Caribbean; the bottom of Martha Washington's well. Hume knows everything that's worth knowing about collecting--why we do it, what we can find, where we can find it, and what we can learn from it.

The Storm

The Storm

Ivor van Heerden; Mike Bryan

Penguin Books Australia
2007
pokkari
The ultimate inside story of the Katrina tragedy--from the cofounder of the LSU Hurricane Center After warning for years about the looming threat of catastrophic flooding in New Orleans, Ivor van Heerden was one of the highest-profile media experts during the Katrina disaster. Over the following eighteen months, he was even more prominent as he challenged the official version of those events and campaigned for an engineering plan that would protect all of southeastern Louisiana, once and for all. In The Storm, van Heerden lays out in full detail the stunning incompetence among the bureaucrats, the politicians, and the Army Corps of Engineers that culminated in the catastrophe that crippled, perhaps forever, a great American city.

Extradition: Law and Practice

Extradition: Law and Practice

Ivor Stanbrook; Clive Stanbrook

Oxford University Press
2000
sidottu
The second edition of this book is long overdue. The first edition was published before Mr Justice Goff's landmark judgment in re Nielson, the passing of the 1989 Extradition Act, the implementation of the European Convention on Extradition, and the UK's adoption of the European Convention on Human Rights. These developments reflect the strong political forces and emerging political structures of the last twenty years. This edition puts the development of the UK's extradition law into its political and evolutionary context. Drawing from the practice and law of many countries, the authors illustrate the growing convergence of international principles of extradition. In some areas this convergence responds directly to new political structures such as the European Union. In others to the increasing influence of norms of international law in the area of human rights. This area in particular will increasingly influence the development of extradition both in the UK and elsewhere. The UK's incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees this trend and now requires practitioners in the UK to have regard to the growing international jurisprudence in this area. This book is the first in this field to grasp this development and it devotes a full chapter to the new human rights dimension in extradition. Despite the impressive development of extradition since the first edition, the Authors do not believe that UK extradition law is well equipped to deal with the ever increasing volume of international crime. Conservatism, suspicion of foreigners, and a misplaced inherent distrust of civil law systems prevent the UK from having much influence on the international development of extradition. An international based system is essential and in any case inevitable. It would be infinitely preferable for the UK to be in the vanguard of the development rather than - as so often these days - a late arrival. The Authors, both barristers, bring an unusually broad insight to their work. Ivor Stanbrook, then an MP, was on the Common Committee that scrutinized the Extradition bill that subsequently became the 1989 Extradition Act. Clive Stanbrook practices primarily in Brussels specialising in European Union Law as well as Human Rights Law.

SDP

SDP

Ivor Crewe; Anthony King

Oxford University Press
1995

Launched on a wave of euphoria in 1981, the SDP aroused the hopes and enthusiasm of millions of people. Promising to break the mould of British politics, its leaders included four of the most respected figures in British public life - Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Bill Rodgers, and Shirley Williams. But the SDP failed. Despite winning with the Liberals a quarter of the vote in two general elections, by the autumn of 1987 it had disintegrated amidst acrimony and bitter in-fighting. This book, based on unprecedented access to the SDP's archive and extensive interviews with all the leading players, chronicles the party's short but turbulent history and analyses in detail the reasons for its early success and its ultimate demise.

Ivor Crewe and Anthony King draw on unprecedented access to the SDP's archive and extensive interviews with all the leading players to chronicle the party's short but turbulent history and analyse in detail the reasons for its early success and its ultimate demise. Reviews of the hardback: `It is British political science at its best, combining intimate knowledge of the players with a firm grasp of the numbers, all gracefully and thoughtfully presented.' Nelson W. Polsby, Choice `This study of the SDP is a classic of its kind, accurate, detailed, perceptive, mercilessly honest.' Shirley Williams, Times Higher Education Supplement `Professors Crewe and King have produced a masterpiece of contemporary history. They marshal complex arguments and masses of detail with the art that conceals art. Their narrative sweeps forward with captivating energy and style, and bristles with mordant phrases.' David Marquand, Observer `If there were a Booker Prize for social sciences, here would be the obvious nomination.' Kenneth O. Morgan, New Statesman `This brilliant history - definitively researched, graced with wit, insight and countless pungent anecdotes.' Gerald Kaufman, Sunday Telegraph `Our two professors ... write clearly, sometimes wittily and without academic jargon. They are masters of their material.' Douglas Hurd, Daily Telegraph

The Physics of Microfabrication

The Physics of Microfabrication

Ivor Brodie; Julius J. Muray

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
1982
sidottu
The Physical Electronics Department of SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) has been pioneering the development of devices fabricated to submicron tolerances for well over 20 years. In 1961, a landmark paper on electron-beam lithography and its associated technologies was published by K. R. Shoulderst (then at SRI), which set the stage for our subsequent efforts in this field. He had the foresight to believe that the building of such small devices was actually within the range of human capabilities. As a result of this initial momentum, our experience in the technologies associated with microfabrication has become remarkably comprehensive, despite the relatively small size of our research activity. We have frequently been asked to deliver seminars or provide reviews on various aspects of micro­ fabrication. These activities made us aware of the need for a comprehensive overview of the physics of microfabrication. We hope that this book will fill that need.

It is estimated that there are 60,000 excess Black American deaths annually compared with White Americans. Not only do Black babies die earlier than White babies, but, in recent years, there are reports that while life expectancy for Whites has improved, for Blacks there has been a leveling off, if not a reduction. These are among the issues detailed in this important guide to the major causes of Black illness and death.Divided into 27 chapters, this handbook provides a mosaic of the conditions, issues, and policies related to Black American health. The more than 40 contributing authors, drawn from institutions across the country, are the premier scholars in their respective fields. The scope and multidisciplinary nature of the handbook makes it invaluable for those concerned with contemporary Black society, clinical medicine, epidemiology, health care administration, medical sociology, nursing, nutrition, public health, social work, and public policy.
