Edmund Gosse, author of the classic autobiography Father and Son, was appointed librarian of the House of Lords in 1904. Until 1906 he kept a diary of his experiences at Westminster. The manuscript, which has never been published before, is an unvarnished and highly entertaining account of the multitude of well-known characters he came across in Westminster, including Arthur Balfour, Herbert Asquith and Richard Haldane, who were his friends. It offers an unrivalled inside view of parliament and its workings from the unique and privileged perspective of Lords librarian. The diary covers the end of the Conservative administration and the Liberal landslide in 1906, after which Campbell-Bannerman became prime minister. This edition includes an introduction and notes.

Ecology: the basics
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032994975 | 325 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 93.71 MB
The text sets out the fundamentals that underpin ecology - the study of the relations between organisms of the same of different species and between organisms and the abiotic (non-living) environment. In other words, it is the study of where we live.The structure of the book adopts the classical style followed by most educators teaching this subject. It is divided into seven chapters which could be the basis of a semester's learning. Non-specialist, jargon-free language is used throughout with technical words and phrases explained in the text and in a glossary. Each chapter begins with an overview of the key themes covered and ends with suggestions for further, self-directed study. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the subject and contains outlines of how the subject has developed, its relevance today, and the skills required by an ecologist. Chapters 2 - 7 address, in turn, the abiotic (non-living) environment, adaptations of organisms to their abiotic environment, population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, and landscape ecology. Cross-cutting themes such as behavioural ecology, aquatic ecology, and terrestrial ecology are woven throughout these chapters. Relevant case studies, based on twenty-first century global challenges (changing climate, urbanisation, the biodiversity crisis, and the spread of invasive non-native species) and ecological ways of tackling these issues (nature-based solutions and species and habitat conservation (including rewilding)), are presented in relevant chapters.InEcology: The Basicsthe author synthesises ecological understanding to provide a foundation for first- and second-year undergraduates who are approaching ecology for the first time or are looking to refresh their knowledge.Ecology: The Basicsalso serves as a foundation for those coming to ecology as part of their higher-level studies, or who wish to be more informed about ecology as part of their life-long learning journey.

This offers a comprehensive and insightful guide to the analysis and design of earth retaining structures, with a particular focus on their behaviour under seismic loading conditions and soil and structure interaction. It combines principles with practice, and relates the behaviour of earth retaining systems to the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and the methodologies of limit states design. The design approach is modern and rigorous. The book's innovative and original methods for seismic analysis and application to practical engineering problems satisfy the increased need for earthquake-resistant geotechnical design. This is primarily a textbook for graduate students in civil and geotechnical engineering, and also a reference for practising engineers to update and refine their design skills, particularly in relation to seismic performance and modern design standards. PowerPoint slides of the figures in the book are available for adopting course instructors.
