This book aimed to prove that the Minority Protection Regime of Iraq is still in force and be the first of its kind by preventing a future potential legitimized new civil war in Iraq which originates and is premised on Article 140 of the Constitution of Iraq is further legitimized by the choice and breadth of the language used to describe it as "disputed internal territories" by the United Nations Security Council resolutions and the Secretary-General s reports to the United Nations Security Council on Iraq.
By the end of the 1950s, steam had already mostly disappeared from passenger work in the Republic of Ireland, yet it lingered on in Northern Ireland. In fact, it lasted longer there than anywhere else on the main line within the British Isles. The products of General Motors came to dominate locomotive-hauled freight and passenger work in the entire 32 Counties, whilst electrification transformed travel in and around Dublin. Preservation has ensured that much of what might have vanished in the way of infrastructure, the iconic narrow gauge and a wonderful variety of locomotives is still there to be enjoyed by both the Irish and visitors from near and far. With over 200 images, this is a visual journey around the Emerald Isle, starting in the 1960s and moving through to modern times, showing the various traction, locomotives and stations that have made Ireland's railways what they are today.
The 100 years since the Irish Free State was set up in 1923 has seen enormous change, both in society and on the railways. The creation of a border did the railways no good, prompting an upsurge in smuggling, and, with the exception of the few busy trunk lines from Dublin, the rise in motor vehicles threatened the future of the railways. The railways responded by developing lightweight railcars, some of which can still be seen in preservation. Post-1945, General Motors diesel-electric locomotives put paid to steam in the Republic, whilst Northern Ireland's railway network has diminished and freight traffic is now all but extinct. Still, the belated realisation of the danger posed to the environment has produced forward-looking endeavours, with government encouragement. The electric Dublin Area Rapid Transport (DART) of the modern era has thus helped give back city streets to pedestrians, and continues to expand. With over 190 pictures, both classic and modern, this volume explores the past, present and future of Ireland's evocative railways.
Nyree and Elias Forester are back in the thick of it. Bullies at school. Open hostilities between the two Faery Courts. Witches in the woods. The looming threat of the Coranaid, an ancient enemy who can hear any words spoken anywhere in the world. With all this a closely held secret from family and friends, Nyree and Elias have few allies to fall back on.The arrival of refugee gryphons from the middle-east provides the final spark for war among the Faeries. But what drove the gryphons from their home? Could it be related to the Forester's own enemy?
Attention in Vision is an important work which aims to identify, address and solve some major problems and issues in the psychology of visual perception, attention and intentional control. The central aim is to investigate how people use their visual perception in the performance of tasks and to explore how the intentional control of action is achieved.Through an extensive review of the philosophy of psychology, the history of ideas and theories of intentional control, and an analysis of various tasks, a new theory is developed which argues that there is an important difference between report tasks and act tasks.The first section of the book introduces the issues of visual perception in a historical context and outlines van der Heijden's theory. The theory is developed in the second and third sections by analysing the findings from some of the main experimental paradigms of cognitive psychology and applying the theory to act tasks. Finally, the epilogue skilfully draws together the theory into an explanation of different historical and theoretical perspectives in psychology. This book will be invaluable to researchers and high-level undergraduates in the field of visual perception and attention.
