The hydrogeological aspects of shale gas extraction in the UK
No full textFracking has the potential to extract hydrocarbons from previously inaccessible sources of gas and oil, but do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental costs? Presenting both sides of the debate, this book draws on a wealth of international expertise, from the oil and gas industry to Friends of the Earth, to give researchers in academia and industry, policy makers, environmental science students and the interested layman will gain a balanced view of hydraulic fracturin

know today as Silicon Valley.
Environmentally conscious residents drew
lines against growth in the contentious '60s.
After riding the Vietnam War era's mammoth
protest waves, the community reached calmer
waters. High technology production moved
south, but Palo Alto stayed the capital of
research and development. It amassed corporate headquarters and new expertise in law,
accounting, management and finance. It ran
out of homesites and students to fill the
schools built in the boom years, attracted a
concentration of senior citizens, spawned
concerns and causes and cultural jewels and
built crack police and firefighting forces.
No city anywhere is quite like Palo Alto,
with its fine weather, its striking homes, its
multiple amenities and its 60,000 residents —
and many more jobs. How it got this way is
explored in the 352 text pages and 26l
illustrations of this meaty history. An epilogue
peeks at where Palo Alto might be going.
Appendices list its points of historic interest
and all who served on its councils.
About the Author
Ward Winslow came to Palo Alto in 1941,
entering Palo Alto High School as a sophomore. In 1948 he began his newspaper career
with the Palo Alto Times, rising from cub
reporter to associate editor. When the paper
was merged into the Peninsula Times Tribune
in 1979, he became editorial page editor, then
managing editor, retiring in mid-1984. Later he
wrote a freelance local column for the paper.
Winslow worked for three years with the Palo
Alto Historical Association's Publications
Committee on this centennial history.

Notes on Some Nematodes from Fresh-Water Fishes
No full textThe parasitic nematodes are of conspicuous importance in the field of human disease and also in diseases of the domestic animals, and in his treatise on fish diseases, Hofer (1906), discussing the significance in fish culture of parasites and parasitic disease5, states that among them the nematodes outrank all others in number of types. Yet as fish parasites these forms are almost unknown in North America, and references to them are confined to a few brief notes, almost all of which came from the pen of the distinguished Philadelphia microscopist, anatomist, and parasitologist, Joseph Leidy, whose pioneer work published between 1850 and 1886 includes many records of great value on this group.
In this little-explored field the senior author (Ward) has been making observations for many years and in collaboration with the junior author (Magath) was led recently to undertake an extended study of nematode parasites from North American fresh-water fishes which has yielded a number of new and interesting forms; these are briefly described here in advance of the appearance of the complete article in which will be given fuller data on the structure and relationships of these species. Especial thanks are due the United States Bureau of Fisheries for aid in securing material.
It is interesting to note that among the eight forms described as new species, three fall within new genera and five agree sufficiently with European forms to be listed in already existing genera. Seven out of the nine forms described in this paper come within the limits of the Spiruroidea, so that this superfamily appears to hold a prominent place among parasites of fresh-water fishes
Redefining loyalism: a political perspective, an academic perspective
No full textRedefining loyalism: a political perspective. Although loyalism in its modern sense has been around since the 1920s, it ac-quired its present shape only at the beginning of the 1970s. Then it was reborn in paramilitary form, and was used by other, more privileged, unionists to serve their own interests. Yet the sectarianism within which loyalism developed disguised the fact that less privileged members of the two communities had much in common. Separation bred hatred, and led to an unfounded sense of advantage on the part of many Protestants who in reality enjoyed few material benefits. The pursuit of ac-commodation between the two communities can best be advanced by attempts to understand each other and to identify important shared interests, and the peace process can best be consolidated by steady, orchestrated movement on the two sides, and by ignoring the protests of those who reject compromise.
Redefining loyalism: an academic perspective: In recent years a division has emerged within unionism between two sharply con-trasting perspectives. On the one hand, traditional unionism has relied on a dis-course of perpetuity, relying on long-standing values and political attachment to the old order, and seeing in the developments that have been taking place since 1998 evidence of a creeping form of Irish unity. By contrast to these, “new loyalism”, rep-resented in particular but not exclusively by the Progressive Unionist Party, is based on a reinterpretation of the past of unionism, seeing in this a pronounced and politically significant class structure, and putting the case for the defence of working class interests. This alternative vision rests on a more pluralistic concep-tion of the politics of Northern Ireland
