Plays by Samuel Foote and Arthur Murphy
For this volume George Taylor has edited five plays by two largely forgotten eighteenth-century playwrights, Samuel Foote and Arthur Murphy. The plays are The Minor and The Nabob by Foote and The Citizen, Three Weeks after Marriage and Know Your Own Mind by Murphy. All, apart from the last, are two- or three-act farces, the main popular fare of the eighteenth-century theatre. They are still eminently playable today, each exploring a different aspect of London society. Both playwrights have an acute ear for amusing and socially revealing dialogue, with a deft sense of situation comedy. Foote was an important theatre manager who established the success of the Haymarket Theatre by his particular brand of satire and mimicry. Had Murphy been more assiduous in his theatrical career and maintained good relations with David Garrick, his reputation as a dramatist might now have ranked him alongside Goldsmith and Sheridan.

Wild Game Recipes and Laughs
As a true conservationist hunter, you're driven by the same primal urge that has always inspired humans to hunt: the urge to provide sustenance. You eat what you kill. Naturally, you also want what you eat to taste great. "Wild Game--Recipes and Laughs" combines the author's lifelong love of hunting with his zest for cooking, travel, and learning about other cultures. With recipes for dishes like Camp Curry, Deer Chops with Chipotle Sauce, Elk Korean Barbecue, and Rabbit Stew with Vegetables and Port Sauce, you'll find a delicious way to prepare just about any meal you bring home. If a disappointing hunt has left you without a few necessary ingredients, there are also cartoons throughout to cheer you up until the next outing. About the Authors Matthew Foote has had an interest in cartoons since high school. He and collaborator Kristen Blaze have worked together in the Tucson and Southern California art scene for several years.
Natural Catastrophe Risk Management and Modelling
This book covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of catastrophe modelling for insurance industry practitioners and public policymakers. Written by authors with both academic and industry experience it also functions as an excellent graduate-level text and overview of the field. Ours is a time of unprecedented levels of risk from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Fortunately, it is also an era of relatively inexpensive technologies for use in assessing those risks. The demand from both commercial and public interests—including (re)insurers, NGOs, global disaster management agencies, and local authorities—for sophisticated catastrophe risk assessment tools has never been g...
Coastal Engineering 2002
This book contains more than 300 papers presented at the 28th International Conference on Coastal Engineering, held in Cardiff, Wales, in July 2002. It is divided into five parts: coastal waves; nearshore currents, swash, and long waves; coastal structures; sediment transport; and coastal morphology, beach nourishment, and coastal management. The papers cover a broad range of topics, including theory, numerical and physical modeling, field measurements, case studies, design, and management. Coastal Engineering 2002 provides engineers, scientists, and planners with state-of-the-art information on coastal engineering and coastal processes.
