In "Record, Retreat, Report," Łukasz Marek Sielski delves into the compelling world of road safety and the battle against road crime. This eye-opening book explores the rise of vigilant citizens using cameras to document and report dangerous driving behaviors. Through meticulous research and engaging narratives, Sielski answers critical questions: Why do people turn to third-party reporting? Does it make a difference? Can it save lives? Beginning with the early adopters who first strapped cameras to their helmets, the book chronicles the evolution of this grassroots movement and its impact on road safety and legislation. Featuring personal stories and interviews with key figures, Sielski highlights the challenges and triumphs of those on the front lines of this modern-day fight for justice on the roads.

It not only sheds light on the importance of vigilant reporting but also inspires readers to contribute to a safer future for all road users.
History of the phenomenon system and people who together created third-party reporting in the UK Deeply personal yet backed by deep research and records "This will be an ideal read for those who are part of the solution and also those who are part of the problem group as well learning to had by all here" Mark Hodson a former officer of West Midlands Police "What an amazing book, a revelation! The roads are getting safer because of people like Lukasz. A combination of new tech and the sudden refusal of ordinary commuters to accept the risk of dying on the way to work has led to a phenomenon of third-party reporting. I thought I was just trying to get to work without dying turns out I am part ...

Transport is key to our daily lives. The transport system is essential to ensure the movement of people and goods, and most of us will use the roads or public transport every day. Vast sums are tied up in it and are spent on trying to resolve the problems of congestion and delays. And yet it is a most neglected field of politics. Britain has never had a coherent transport policy. Transport ministers are regarded as minnows compared with their ‘big beast’ colleagues in other ministries. Successive governments have barely attempted to get to grips with the challenge of getting people around efficiently and safely while limiting the environmental damage caused by transport. In this entertai...
Understand the technical foundations, as well as the non-programming skills needed to be a successful full stack web developer. This book reveals the reasons why a truly successful full stack developer does more than write code. You will learn the principles of the topics needed to help a developer new to agile or full stack working—UX, project management, QA, product management, and more— all from the point of view of a developer. Covering these skills alongside the fundamentals and foundations of modern web development, rather than specifics of current technologies and frameworks (which can age quickly), all programming examples are given in the context of the web as it is in 2018. Alt...

This book is a selection of results obtained within three years of research performed under SYNAT—a nation-wide scientific project aiming at creating an infrastructure for scientific content storage and sharing for academia, education and open knowledge society in Poland. The book is intended to be the last of the series related to the SYNAT project. The previous books, titled “Intelligent Tools for Building a Scientific Information Platform” and “Intelligent Tools for Building a Scientific Information Platform: Advanced Architectures and Solutions”, were published as volumes 390 and 467 in Springer's Studies in Computational Intelligence. Its contents is based on the SYNAT 2013 Workshop held in Warsaw. The papers included in this volume present an overview and insight into information retrieval, repository systems, text processing, ontology-based systems, text mining, multimedia data processing and advanced software engineering, addressing the problems of implementing intelligent tools for building a scientific information platform.

This book aims to summarize the latest achievements in the development and manufacturing of modern biomaterials used in modern medicine and dentistry, for example, in cases where, as a result of a traffic or sports accident, aging, resection of organs after oncological surgery, or dangerous inflammation, there is a need to replace lost organs, tissues, and parts of the human body. The essence of biomedical materials is their constant contact with living tissues, organisms, or microorganisms and, therefore, they should meet numerous requirements from various fields, including medicine, biology, chemistry, tissue engineering, and materials science. For this reason, biomaterials must be compati...
