Safety Can't Be Measured
The British Prime Minister has avowed to ’kill off the health and safety culture’ which he described as ’a monster’. Nonetheless, industries face ever increasing public expectation and legislative pressure to improve safety when, actually, rates of safety improvement have slowed to a standstill.

Decoding Neolithic Atlantic and Mediterranean Island Ritual
What constitutes an island and the archaeology contained within? Is it the physicality of its boundary (between shoreline and sea)? Does this physical barrier extend further into a watery zone? Archaeologically, can islands be defined by cultural heritage and influence? Clearly, and based on these few probing questions, islands are more than just lumps of rock and earth sitting in the middle of a sea or ocean. An island is a space which, when described in terms of topography, landscape form and resources, becomes a place. A place can sometimes be delineated with barriers and boundaries; it may also have a perimeter and can be distinguished from the space that surrounds it. The 16 papers pres...

Brits Spill The Beans!
Brits have spilled the beans on all sorts of subjects. This entertaining book brings together hundreds of facts and figures that have been revealed through different polls and surveys over the years, and paints an intriguing picture of the ordinary - and extraordinary - everyday lives of people in Britain. Author Andrew Townsend decided to compile Brits Spill The Beans! after reading that a small percentage of Brits put up their Christmas decorations in September, yes, September. The revelation set the tone for this book which generally steers clear of the more sobering topics regularly covered by the mainstream media. All the facts and figures have been put in the public domain previously by organisations and businesses for their own purposes. Andrew has brought together the various details to sketch out what is going on in the day-to-day lives of British people. Areas covered include: family life, work, relationships, friendships, neighbours, holidays, weather, pets, health, social life, clothes, money, motoring, phones, television, shopping and food. Be prepared for some surprises!

The Tao of Mindfulness
The Tao of Mindfulness explores the practice of mindfulness from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Although fresh and contemporary in his approach, the author has remained true to the roots of this ancient practice by explaining the foundations and principles of mindfulness practice as they pertain to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The book includes detailed discussions on topics ranging from mindfulness, meditation, contemplation, revelations from the Vedas regarding clinging and attachment, Buddhist teachings (or dharma) on pain, suffering, and impermanence, the Taoist approach to living in accordance with natural law, as well as instruction how to be mindful of one's thoughts, desires, speech, actions, consumption, and livelihood.
