Fullness of Time is a gentle companion through the seasons of the year and the seasons of life. The meditations are drawn from all 66 books of the Bible. They are based on devotionals the author shared with various gatherings at Tabor Village, a residence for older adults in Abbotsford BC during the years of his chaplaincy 2017-2021. They provide a good resource for chaplains, teachers, and others who may need to lead a devotion on short notice. The photographs and artwork are provided by tenants, friends, and family. As a coffee-table book, it can be a source of aesthetic interest and inspiration. Journey through time, through the seasons of nature, life, and the church year. Enjoy the pictures, aphorisms (brief thoughts), poems, and anecdotes (brief stories).

The Tunisian Sahel is an extraordinary region for study. A unique and marginal zone in terms of its climate; its relationship to Europe and in its geo-political position as an Arab country in Africa, it provides a fascinating lens through which to study the complex geographical issues of continuity and change. Continuity and Change in the Tunisian Sahel explores just such issues using a number of sub-themes: Islam, the relationships the region has with the global economy, rural development, security, and urban form and function. Based on a well-established fieldwork course, and copiously illustrated with maps, diagrams, photographs, posters, quotations and tables, the book also includes practical advice on how to carry out fieldwork and field investigations in arid and semi-arid regions.

After experiencing many challenges bringing up our son Brett who through absolutely no fault of his own was born with a genetic condition called tuberous sclerosis we wanted to share some of the experiences that we as a family have had to encounter over the years as a result of this medical condition.Tuberous sclerosis and autism are not an illness that is going to get better but can thankfully be managed with medications, patience and understanding "most of the time."I have tried to explain what tuberous sclerosis is so people have a better understanding of the various conditions that can be associated with this disorder.If you have a child with tuberous sclerosis or some form of autism, intellectual disability, epilepsy or special needs I hope that you enjoy reading this book and gain something from the experiences that we have had to contend with over the years.

This highly technical work is at the leading edge of spatial analysis. It covers the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative in the international context of access to environmental data. This book identifies the data policy issues, such as intellectual property rights, privacy, licensing and archiving policies, that affect environmental monitoring organisations, statistical institutes, mapping agencies, institutes for natural resources and Earth observation. It recommends courses of action to improve information services in GMES and assesses the impact of data policy on access to and cost-efficient use of information services in GMES.This title will be essential reading for government institutions such as mapping organisations, space agencies, environmental departments, military and defence departments; it will also be useful to students of environmental policies and industries involved in mapping, cartography, aerial surveys and the space industry.

Earth observation data policy has received little attention, even though the conditions of access to Earth observation data are fundamental to the exploitation of and the further growth of the Earth observation sector. This unique book addresses this limitation.
