David A. Cornwell Livres

"Davis and Cornwell's Introduction to Environmental Engineering is one of the most comprehensive resources on the multiple aspects of environmental engineering, from solid waste disposal to air and noise pollution. Pedagogically oriented toward engineers, the text places a much-needed emphasis on fundamental concepts, definitions, problem-solving, and design, while providing numerous homework problems and discussion questions in each chapter. The 4th edition features completely up-to-date coverage of environmental laws, regulations, and standards, as well as the addition of a new chapter on materials and energy balances, and end of chapter computer application problems. A discussion on environmental ethics complete with case studies and homework problems presents the legal framework that governs environmental engineering design."--Publisher's description.

In September 1943, just at the moment when their Italian guards were deserting their posts and British Prisoners of War were about to be liberated by the advancing Allied troops, they were ordered by their own officers to stay in their camps. This order, from the M19 branch of the Ministry of Defence, contradicted Churchill’s express wishes that all POWs should be allowed to walk free. Fifty thousand Allied prisoners missed their chance as German troops recaptured the camps and transported the POWs to Germany and Poland where they would spend the rest of the war. This is the diary of one of those fifty thousand. Lance Corporal Stan Cornwell documents the daily preoccupations of a POW, played out against the backdrop of global conflict. The diary shows how comradeship enabled men to cope with hardships, frustrations, anxieties and insecurities, and how they and their families were able to hang on to their ordinary lives in extraordinary circumstances of loss, deprivation and chaos.

King and Chaos is the first close study of the issues, personalities, and significance of the 1935 federal election, a turning point that fractured the two-party system and permanently changed Canada’s political landscape.
