Durham Weather and Climate since 1841 - Stephen (visiting Fellow Burt - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Durham Weather and Climate since 1841 - Stephen (visiting Fellow Burt - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The British have always been obsessed by the weather. Astronomers at Durham Observatory began weather observations in 1841; weather records continue unbroken to this day, one of the longest continuous series of single-site weather records in Europe. Durham Weather and Climate since 1841 represents the first full publication of this newly digitised record of English weather, which will be of lasting appeal to interested readers and climate researchers alike. The book celebrates 180 years of weather in north-east England by describing how the records were (and are) made and the people who made them, examines monthly and seasonal weather patterns and extremes across two centuries, and considers long-term climate change. Local documentary sources and contemporary photographs bring the statistics to life, from the great flood of 1771 and skating on the frozen River Wear in February 1895 right up to Durham''s hottest-ever day in July 2019 and its wettest winter in 2021. Extensive links are provided to full daily weather records back to 1843. This volume is a sister publication to Oxford Weather and Climate since 1767 by the same authors, published by Oxford University Press in 2019.

Oxford Weather and Climate since 1767 - Stephen (department Of Meteorology Burt - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Oxford Weather and Climate since 1767 - Stephen (department Of Meteorology Burt - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The British have always been obsessed by the weather. Thomas Hornsby, who founded the Radcliffe Observatory in Oxford in 1772, began weather observations at the site. They continue daily to this day, unbroken since 14 November 1813, the longest continuous series of single-site weather records in the British Isles, and one of the longest in the world. Oxford Weather and Climate since 1767 represents the first full publication of this newly-digitised record of English weather, which will appeal to interested readers and climate researchers alike. The book celebrates this unique and priceless Georgian legacy by describing and explaining how the records were (and still are) made, examines monthly and seasonal weather patterns across two centuries, and considers the context of long-term climate change. Local documentary sources and contemporary photographs bring the statistics to life, from the clouds of ''smoak'' from the Great Fire of London in 1666 to the most recent floods. This book explores all the weather extremes, from bitter cold winters to hot, dry summers, bringing to life the painstaking measurements made over the last 250 years.

Heracles - Euripides - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Heracles - Euripides - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Heracles is a challenging and problematic play especially for the student. Bond''s introduction and commentary (first published in hardback in 1981) is especially welcome, since the last major edition of the play was published in 1895 and was so authoritative that until recently little new work had been done on it. James Diggle''s Oxford Classical Text is reproduced.''The publication of Bond''s Heracles... will return Euripidean studies to the heady days at the turn of the century.'' J. Williams, Liverpool Classical Monthly''Bond''s commentary... is a traditional scholarly commentary: solid and informative, textually oriented... patient and methodical.'' M. Silk, Greece and Rome''by so intelligently and often penetratingly discussing patterns of language, Bond contributes much to the interpretation of this deeply disturbing and moving play.'' D. Henry, Times Educational Supplement''This edition ... is a major event in Euripidean scholarship ... The glory of the book is its voluminous notes, exhibiting scholarship which is old-fashioned in the best sense (of encyclopaedic thoroughness) ... It must remain the definitive edition of the Heracles for many years to come. Hermathena

Introduction to Glycobiology - Kurt (imperial College London) Drickamer - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Introduction to Glycobiology - Kurt (imperial College London) Drickamer - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sugars are familiar as vital sources of energy. Yet the biological importance of the sugars extends well beyond their value as cellular fuels.Introduction to Glycobiology reveals the true impact of the sugars on biological systems, explaining their function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level. Employing a two-part structure, the book leads us through essential principles and concepts upon which the discipline is grounded, before exploring the diverse roles of sugars throughout biological systems, including development, cell signalling, and protein trafficking. It also emphasises the importance of glycobiology in disease, and explains how an understanding of the link between the two is enabling us to develop new therapeutic strategies.Taking the student from the fundamental principles to the frontiers of the subject, and with a wealth of learning features to get the most out of their studies, Introduction to Glycobiology remains the ideal resource for students and teachers alike.Online Resource CentreFor students:· Updates - surveys of key developments in the field, provided on a six-monthly basis, to maintain currency· Library of 3D, rotatable molecular structures to help students visualize structures and gain a proper appreciation of the link between structure and function· Hyperlinked references to facilitate access to primary literatureFor registered adopters of the book:· Full colour figures, available for download individually or as PowerPoint slides with key explanatory points· Answers to end-of-chapter questions· Journal Clubs - suggested papers and discussion questions linked to topics covered in the book

Political Choice in Britain - Harold D. Clarke - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Political Choice in Britain - Harold D. Clarke - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why do people vote as they do? Indeed, why do they vote at all? What do they think about elections, political parties, and democracy? This important book by four leading scholars addresses these questions. Using a wealth of data from the 1964-2001 British election studies, monthly Gallup polls, and numerous other national surveys conducted over the past four decades, the authors test the explanatory power of rival sociological and individual rationality models of turnout and party choice. Analyses of party choice endorse a valence politics model that challenges the long-dominant social class model. British voters make their political choices by evaluating the performance of parties and party leaders in economic and other important policy areas. Although these evaluations may be products of events and conditions that occur long before an election campaign officially begins, parties'' national and local campaign activities are also influential. Consistent with the valence politics model, partisan attachments display individual- and aggregate-level dynamics that reflect ongoing judgements about the managerial abilities of parties and their leaders. A general incentives model provides the best explanation of turnout. Calculations of the costs and influence-discounted benefits of voting and sense of civic duty are key variables in this model. Significantly, the decline in turnout in recent elections does not reflect more general negative trends in public attitudes about the political system. Voters judge the performance of British democracy in much the same way as they evaluate its parties and politicians. Support at all levels of the system is a renewable resource, but one that must be renewed. A command of theory, data, models, and method ensure that Political Choice in Britain will be a major resource for all those interested in elections, voting, and democracy.
