'... with references to applicable design standards, modeling techniques, and human factors issues, Cockpit Engineering offers a valuable design roadmap for developing future cockpits.' Ergonomics in Design, Summer 2006.  'This book comprehensively describes the totality of the subject of cockpit engineering; man and machine. The topics covered span the breadth and depth of all engineering and scientific disciplines required to achieve a successful cockpit design, including human physiological and psychological aspects.  The book is packed full of detailed and superbly illustrated information to describe the uniquely complex problem of the man/machine inter-relationship to be found in the cockpit. Although the book focuses principally on the most onerous engineering and ergonomic challenge of the single seat fast-jet combat aircraft, it will be of great interest to engineers and aircrew involved in the both civil and military aircraft... Overall this book provides a comprehensive broad and deep discussion of the entire subject area of cockpit engineering by a recognized world authority in the field. The author identifies his motive in constructing the book is to explain why he has found the subject so engrossing throughout his distinguished career. He does this extremely well.' Malcolm Jukes, Aerospace Professional, October 2006

Cockpit Engineering

"The authors correctly note that, while people will generally want higher water quality, there are numerous trade-offs that would diminish their willingness to change behaviours that negatively affect water quality and quantity. Water pollution could thus be regarded as a ‘market failure’, requiring intervention by policymakers such as regulation, incentives and voluntary agreements with land users, self-regulation, education campaigns, etc." – African Journal of Aquatic Science, John P Simaika, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
"The book will be particularly useful to those engaged in Catchment Partnerships through Defra's Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) programme, whether in pointing out ways forward or giving confidence that persistence with building communites of practice will gain success in the longer term - anyone strarting in catchment management will soon realise that developments do not happen overnight!" - Bob Harris, Costal Futures

'There exists a commonplace in public opinion, as well as academia, that workers necessarily lean to the political left. This volume offers carefully researched cross-cultural European evidence to the contrary. A wonderful collection of top-notch scholarship.'  Andrei S. Markovits, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA  '...an important contribution to the understanding of, and the future research on, the effects of changing working life on individuals and the attraction of right-wing populist parties. It contains also a deeper understanding of why the constructions of immigrants as the others are so successful in recent times.' Online Magazine, www.fm5.at  'The extensive use in all of the chapters of qualitative data in the form of quotes from the interviews is extremely informative on the everyday working experiences of people, on their interpretations and evaluations, and on their ideas about the extreme right...The overall result of this combination of qualitative and quantitative data is extremely informative, relevant and important...highly recommended.' Transfer - European Review of Labour and Research Quarterly of the ETYI-REHS Research Department

Changing Working Life and the Appeal of the Extreme Right

'Mr Partington's book should be bought and read by all Wellsians.' The H.G. Wells Newsletter  'Here is an excellent book on Wells's political philosophy... a most stimulating and fascinating contribution by a Reading scholar...' Cahiers Victoriens et Edouardiens  'Partington has perused an impressive range of sources and archive material, including essays, fictional works, lectures and radio talks, and extensive footnotes offer a wide range of additional information... Since this well-informed and sometimes controversial study offers many new and interesting insights into the complex oeuvre of Herbert G. Wells, it deserves to find a wide readership.' The European English Messenger  'Wells's remarkable intellectual evolution - from his origins as an internationalist to his fruition as a functionalist - has been rendered here with great depth and eloquence.' The Futurist  '...undoubtedly a major contribution to Wellsian studies... deserves to become the first port of call for those seriously interested in exploring the origin, development and influence of Wells's political thought.' Science Fiction Studies  ’... sets a new standard for Wells studies... The breadth of Partington's scope is remarkable... Students of Wellsian thought or those only curious about Wells' political ideas should not be without this important work.’ The Undying Fire

Fueled by a new generation of scholars, this volume sketches out videogame discourse studies as a new field of research that extends from corpus-assisted lexical analysis to the multimodal study of paratexts that surround games. The authors draw on concepts and questions from applied, media and sociolinguistics, such as language ideologies, (im)politeness, plain language, and localization. This volume offers an accessible introduction to a field of practice that is massively popular on a global scale, yet quite understudied from a language and discourse perspective.

The Bridge to School is a must-read for anyone interested in having a window into what high quality, developmentally responsive PreK and transitional Kindergarten programs look like from the inside. Through rich descriptions of early learning environments and expansive descriptions of practical strategies, readers are introduced to the nuts and bolts of programs and classrooms that optimally support young children's brain and whole body development. Teachers and administrators charged with creating PreK and TK programs that truly build the cognitive, social-emotional, and physical skills and knowledge that children need for future educational success will find The Bridge to School to be the most valuable, inspiring, and essential roadmap to guide their way.
