The Women's Suffrage Movement in Britain, 1866-1928
This book tells the story of the women's suffrage movement in Britain beginning with John Stuart Mill's proposal of a women's suffrage amendment to a reform bill. It ends with the victory of 1928, concluding more than 50 years of repeated defeats, anti-suffragism, militancy, imprisonment, hunger strikes and forcible feeding, and multiple internal splits and their only partial victory of 1918. It is not intended to break new ground in academia, but to provide an introduction to the general reader that covers the entire relevant time period and introduces major themes and issues.
The Northern Moon Node
In accordance with the reincarnation cycles, at the start of each life everyone brings along a life destination, a task or a commitment to learn. Each birth is connected with a script or a plan of life that spans several seven year cycles, as is described by the Moon nodes. The plan is predestined. What you do with it is not, because that is up to you. The northern Moon node is your life destination, the answer of the big 'why' of your life. This is the most complete book about the moon nodes. The book gives a clear explanation of the astrological system of Carteret, the combined actions of the Moon nodes, Pluto and the black Moon Lilith. Besides the deeper background of this system the role...
Lees' Loss Prevention in the Process Industries
Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees’ is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve...
Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases remain the number one cause of death in developed countries and their prevalence is increasing rapidly in developing nations. This book brings together the recent information on these disorders and the links that exist between them in order to provide a complete picture of drug discovery for these conditions. The main three sections comprehensively discuss obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and diabetes in turn, following an introduction to the molecular links between them. The final chapter provides perspectives on future directions of the field. Chapters are contributed by leaders in the field from academia and industry and cover biomark...
Beladon
This case is about Beladon, a Dutch property company led by Peter van Wingerden. Wingerden and his wife, Minke van Wingerden, launched the world's first "floating farm" in Rotterdam in 2019. A floating farm refers to a dairy farm that floats on water, with cattle residing on it. Van Wingerden created these farms from an environmental perspective to reduce the distance between the food source and its consumption and control transport-related pollution. Experts are concerned about the concept of floating farms as this new type of farm implies that land-based dairy is so dysfunctional that marine alternatives had to be generated. Moreover, they believe that floating farms might not be a natural environment for cattle. Is van Wingerden correct in progressing with the development of floating farms? How is he making these farms sustainable?
Decision and Control in Hybrid Wind Farms
This book focuses on two of the most important aspects of wind farm operation: decisions and control. The first part of the book deals with decision-making processes, and explains that hybrid wind farm operation is governed by a set of alternatives that the wind farm operator must choose from in order to achieve optimal delivery of wind power to the utility grid. This decision-making is accompanied by accurate forecasts of wind speed, which must be known beforehand. Errors in wind forecasting can be compensated for by pumping power from a reserve capacity to the grid using a battery energy storage system (BESS). Alternatives based on penalty cost are assessed using certain criteria, and MCDM...
Handbook of Wind Energy Aerodynamics
This handbook provides both a comprehensive overview and deep insights on the state-of-the-art methods used in wind turbine aerodynamics, as well as their advantages and limits. The focus of this work is specifically on wind turbines, where the aerodynamics are different from that of other fields due to the turbulent wind fields they face and the resultant differences in structural requirements. It gives a complete picture of research in the field, taking into account the different approaches which are applied. This book would be useful to professionals, academics, researchers and students working in the field.
Safeguarding the Quality of Forensic Assessment in Sentencing
This edited collection provides an interdisciplinary and cross-national perspective on safeguarding the quality of forensic assessment in sentencing offenders. Taking an in-depth look at seven different Western countries, each chapter provides an overview of the role of assessment in sentencing offenders, as well as a focus on formal ways in which the respective country’s legal system and disciplinary associations protect the quality of forensic assessment. Each chapter explores how to assure better decision making in individual cases based on assessments of psycholegal concepts such as mental disorder/insanity, criminal responsibility and dangerousness. Combining the perspectives of lawyers, legal scholars, and clinicians working in the field, this book is essential for those working in and with forensic assessment.

Knowledge in Action
Wageningen Univerisity and Research Centre is known for its practical and societally relevant research in spatial development. Stakeholders currently put much emphasis on participatory processes in landscape planning procedures. This poses a special challenge for research. What role does research play in our present world characterised by complexity, competing claims and development needs, and an increased concern for climate change and environmental impact? In the book 'Knowledge in Action' we explore different types of transdisciplinary research that scientists engage in. Depending on the societal context and the interests of local citizens, researchers apply different research approaches ...
