Tsunami and Nonlinear Waves
The need for tsunami research and analysis has grown dramatically following the devastating tsunami of December 2004, which affected Southern Asia. This book pursues a detailed theoretical and mathematical analysis of the fundamentals of tsunamis, especially the evolution and dynamics of tsunamis and other great waves. Of course, it includes specific measurement results from the 2004 tsunami, but the emphasis is on the nature of the waves themselves and their links to nonlinear phenomena.
The Evil in Ullswater
There's a killer in Ullswater. A murderer lives among the citizens in this small Cumbrian Lake-District community. But no one noticed that one of them has an evil side-an Inner Darkness. Even after the grisly 1996 triple homicides at a local masquerade party, the killer was presumed to be an outsider. No one wanted to admit that a murderer lived in their idyllic town. Four years later, a stranger arrives in Ullswater to rent the same house where the murders occurred-Grimshaw House. Alone, it was an unremarkable event but for the fact that Edna Gemmell bears a striking resemblance to one of the murder victims. Edna believes she's safe behind the locked doors at Grimshaw House. She has no idea that the house has secret entrances. But the killer does!
The Palgrave Handbook of Prison and the Family
This handbook brings together the international research focussing on prisoners’ families and the impact of imprisonment on them. Under-researched and under-theorised in the realm of scholarship on imprisonment, this handbook encompasses a broad range of original, interdisciplinary and cross-national research. This volume includes the experiences of those from countries often unrepresented in the prisoner’s families’ literature such as Russia, Australia, Israel and Canada. This broad coverage allows readers to consider how prisoners’ families are affected by imprisonment in countries embracing very different penal philosophies; ranging from the hyper-incarceration being experienced i...
Unravelling Criminal Justice
Brings together the major findings of 11 projects funded under the "Crime and the Criminal Justice System Initiative" by the Economic and Social Research Council in the mid-1980s.
Weakly Nonlocal Solitary Waves and Beyond-All-Orders Asymptotics
This is the first thorough examination of weakly nonlocal solitary waves, which are just as important in applications as their classical counterparts. The book describes a class of waves that radiate away from the core of the disturbance but are nevertheless very long-lived nonlinear disturbances.
Policing Police Violence
For many years both police violence and the complaints procedures have been important topics for debate in Britain and elsewhere. This book aims to provide a contribution to this debate by analysing the way in which police violence at present is and should be policed. On the basis of a case study in Glasgow the authors examine the phenomenon of police violence and the occupational reality in which it can be most adequately controlled. The present type of British complaints system was found to have little to offer to the victims of such incidents, and to be even counterproductive as a mechanism of control of police behaviour. This book discusses the main structural amendments which would enab...
