Measuring, monitoring, and modeling technologies and methods changed the field of glaciology significantly in the 14 years since the publication of the first edition of Fundamentals of Glacier Dynamics. Designed to help readers achieve the basic level of understanding required to describe and model the flow and dynamics of glaciers, this second edition provides a theoretical framework for quantitatively interpreting glacier changes and for developing models of glacier flow. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Streamlined organization focusing on theory, model development, and data interpretationIntroductory chapter reviews the most important mathematical tools used throughout the remainder of the bookNew chapter on fracture mechanics and iceberg calvingConsolidated chapter covers applications of the force-budget technique using measurements of surface velocity to locate mechanical controls on glacier flowThe latest developments in theory and modeling, including the addition of a discussion of exact time-dependent similarity solutions that can be used for verification of numerical modelsThe book emphasizes developing procedures and presents derivations leading to frequently used equations step by step to allow readers to grasp the mathematical details as well as physical approximations involved without having to consult the original works. As a result, readers will have gained the understanding needed to apply similar techniques to somewhat different applications.Extensively updated with new material and focusing more on presenting the theoretical foundations of glacier flow, the book provides the tools for model validation in the form of analytical steady-state and time-evolving solutions. It provides the necessary background and theoretical foundation for developing more realistic ice-sheet models, which is essential for better integration of data and observations as well as for better model development.

High Data Rate Transmitter Circuits is a practical guide and introduction to the design of key RF building blocks used in high data rate transmitters. The emphasis lies on CMOS circuit techniques applicable to oscillators and upconvertors. Furthermore, a method for RF-specific design automation is exemplified by the CYCLONE tool for automated LC-VCO synthesis. Written in an easily accessible manner, High Data Rate Transmitter Circuits is essential reading for both students and practicing engineers interested in analog RF design and RF-specific design automation. The book has been praised for its pleasant and light style of writing, without losing detail on the technical side.

Fifteen year old Katie Jenkins has what her grandmother called a "gift" - an ability to see things that others can't. Her grandmother taught her to harness her ability using Tarot cards, but after the old lady's death, Katie begins to realise there is more to it than just predicting the future. She meets a strange girl called Star, who has runaway to escape from an abusive home life, and is being followed at night by an evil shadowy figure called the Dark Man. He wants Star's soul, and Katie knows she must not let that happen, whatever the cost. Not fully understanding how, Katie must protect the physically and emotionally scarred Star from the Dark Man, and also help to bring out into the open the real reason Star left her home, before it is too late.
Are you a landlord considering fitting electric meters in your HMOs? Do you wonder if it will be harder to let out your HMO rooms with pre-paid meters? Or if it is worth all the hassle of getting meters installed? This practical, down-to-earth guide examines the advantages and disadvantages of pre-paid meters in HMOs, and is packed with tips to help save you money. The author, a highly experienced HMO landlord, answers questions such as: - How much do pre-paid meters save on utility costs? - What do pre-paid meters cost and which ones are best? - Are properties with pre-paid meters harder to let out? - What happens if the utility company undercharges? - Should you fit secondary meters to each HMO room or have a separate supply to each one? A must-read if you're an HMO landlord, to help you ensure utility costs don't get out of hand. C.J.
