Landscape Economics
This revised and expanded edition of Colin Price's seminal publication provides a richly comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of landscape economics, a subject which has until now been addressed only in limited aspects. Although much of the book's discussion is based upon natural resources and environmental economics, the author presents a wide and integrative view, drawing from aesthetic, psychological, social and political perspectives and applying a critical use of economic concepts and challenges to different schools of thought on the landscape. This new edition includes new ideas and critiques on environmental valuation; more focused critiques of stated preference methods, political al...
Story-Writing-Coding
The author, Dr Colin Price is Principal Lecturer at Worcester University, UK, where he currently teaches Computing. He has worked in education for his entire life starting off teaching Nuffield A-Level Physics. His recent research interests include Primary Computing, and he has recently taught all primary year groups in local schools. This book introduces programming ('coding') to children of Primary/Elementary School age and beyond. They will learn how to code animated stories using the professional language Java.

The engine is self-contained and you do not need to install any software onto your PC.

THE NATURE OF NATURE
We need to rethink the way we consider life, physics and the universe, says scientist-theologian Colin M Price. All living things are inter-dependent. The earth should be considered as a single bioform, LIFE. Yet the moon is barren. The dot on this "i" might cover 200 living cells, each highly complex. Magnify a cell 2 billion times, to the size of an oil refinery, and it would cause panic and amazement at its complexity and productivity. Where does its energy come from? The author asks: How did so much order come about when physics predicts the opposite? The order of any system, including the entire universe, should decline with time. Order should have been greatest at the Big Bang, 14 billion years ago! The probability of the Big Bang arising by chance is one in 10 to the power of ten itself raised to the power of 123! Life on earth is IMPOSSIBLE. Yet life exists. WHY? Topics include: Can scientists create life from scratch? Why were the dinosaurs so big? Life is no accident! It's INTENDED!
The Price of Love
In the course of a long career Colin Murray Parkes, one of the most important and influential psychiatrists working in the field of bereavement and loss, has produced a body of work which can be considered truly ground-breaking. His early studies involved working alongside John Bowlby in the development of attachment theory and led to his pioneering work on the Harvard Bereavement Project in the USA and at the new St Christopher's Hospice in Britain. Parkes focussed on two psychological processes, grief, which is the painful search for a lost person or object of attachment, and transition, which is the process of changing the assumptive world in ways that ensure that nothing worthwhile need ...
Let's Do a Play!
"Here is a great collection of eleven class plays for children in grades 1-5, with musical accompaniment written and composed by Colin Price. The author has been a teacher for 35 years, writing songs, plays and musicals. The subjects of these plays range from fairy tales to historical times. Included are a native indian folk tale from the american northwest, a german christmas play, two plays from the old testament, a norse myth play, two mumorous and one dramatic greek plays from early greek history. An additional play for combined classes celebrates the little-known michaelmas festival. The appendix contains references to hundreds of sources for such plays, and tells you where to get them. Notes by the author on each of these published plays are included. This collection, the first of two volumes, will be a great resource for all who work with children in the area of drama."
