Graphical Methods for Data Analysis This book present graphical methods for analysing data. Some methods are new and some are old some require a computer and others only paper and pencil; but they are all powerful data analysis tools. In many situations a set of data � even a large set- can be adequately analysed through graphical methods alone. In most other situations a few well-chosen graphical displays can significantly enhance numerical statistical analyses. | Graphical Methods for Data Analysis GBP 205.00 1
Marvelous Modular Origami This richly illustrated book provides step-by-step instructions for the construction of over 30 different modular origami structures. The author describes basic folding techniques required to construct themodules that are used as building blocks to construct complex ornamental models.

Origami Polyhedra Design This book unravels the mystery of Geometry in Origami with a unique approach: 64 Polyhedra designs each made from a single square sheet of paper no cuts no glue; each polyhedron the largest possible from the starting size of square and each having an ingenious locking mechanism to hold its shape. The author covers the five Platonic solids (cube tetrahedron octahedron icosahedron and dodecahedron). There are ample variations with different color patterns and sunken sides. Dipyramids and Dimpled Dipyramids unexplored before this in Origami are also covered. There are a total of 64 models in the book. All the designs have an interesting look and a pleasing folding sequence and are based on unique mathematical equations. | Origami Polyhedra Design GBP 180.00 1

3D Origami Art Easily Create Origami with Curved Folds and Surfaces Origami making shapes only through folding reveals a fascinating area of geometry woven with a variety of representations. The world of origami has progressed dramatically since the advent of computer programs to perform the necessary computations for origami design. 3D Origami Art presents the design methods underlying 3D creations derived from computation. It includes numerous photos and design drawings called crease patterns which are available for download on the author‘s website. Through the book‘s clear figures and descriptions readers can easily create geometric 3D structures out of a set of lines and curves drawn on a 2D plane. The author uses various shapes of sheets such as rectangles and regular polygons instead of square paper to create the origami. Many of the origami creations have a 3D structure composed of curved surfaces and some of them have complicated forms. However the background theory underlying all the creations is very simple. The author shows how different origami forms are designed from a common theory. GBP 180.00 1
Plant Cell Walls Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights Plant cell walls have been relevant for human survival throughout evolution from cell walls recognised as an essential ingredient in human and livestock nutrition to their use in energy generation construction tool making paper and clothing. This plant-generated material is at the centre of a myriad of human activities and it represents the world's most abundant natural resource for fuel fibre food and fodder. Plant Cell Walls: Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights provides an overview of the key discoveries of hundreds of years of plant cell wall research. With chapter contributions from prominent scientists in the cell wall field this book provides a comprehensive treatment of plant cell wall research accompanied by a historical overview to illustrate how concepts have evolved and how progress has been enabled by emerging technological advances. Plant Cell Walls: Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights elaborates on the translation of research to application in biotechnology and agriculture and highlights its relevance for climate change mitigation and adaptation. It will be a key resource for plant cell biologists biochemists and geneticists. | Plant Cell Walls Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights GBP 190.00 1
Role of Dams and Reservoirs in a Successful Energy Transition Proceedings of the 12th ICOLD European Club Symposium 2023 (ECS 2023 Interlak Today new and unexpected challenges arise for Europe’s large array of existing dams and fresh perspectives on the development of new projects for supporting Europe’s energy transition have emerged. In this context the 12th ICOLD European Club Symposium has been held in September 2023 in Interlaken Switzerland. The overarching Symposium theme was on the Role of dams and reservoirs in a successful energy transition. The articles collected in this report book (consisting of a 250-page abstract book and a 1010-page full paper USB) cover the various themes developed during the symposium: - Dams and reservoirs for hydropower - Dams and reservoirs for climate change adaptation - Impact mitigation of dams and reservoirs - How to deal with ageing dams In conjunction with the Symposium the 75th anniversary of the Swiss Committee on Dams offered an excellent opportunity to not only draw from the retrospective of Switzerland’s extensive history of dam development but to also reveal perspectives on the new role of dams for a reliable and affordable energy transition. These aspects are illustrated by several articles covering the various activities challenges and concerns of the dam community. | Role of Dams and Reservoirs in a Successful Energy Transition Proceedings of the 12th ICOLD European Club Symposium 2023 (ECS 2023 Interlak GBP 230.00 1
Community Writing Researching Social Issues Through Composition Community Writing: Researching Social Issues Through Composition employs a series of assignments that guide students to research and write about issues confronting their individual communities. Students start by identifying a community to which they belong and focusing on problems in it and then analyze possible solutions construct arguments for them decide which are likely to succeed and consider how to initiate action. This is a primary text for first-year composition courses covering the basics of the writing process. The assignments are recursive. Short writing assignments in each chapter build up to longer papers. Each of the assignment questions is accompanied by a guide to thinking about and writing the assigned paper followed by a short Focus On reading that provides a brief account of community activism a media case study or a notable success story. The longer papers are accompanied by in-class peer reading groups. Each successive peer reading attempts a higher level of conceptual critique. By working together throughout the semester students create increasingly adept peer groups familiar with all stages of each other's research. The book is carefully structured but there is plenty of give in it allowing instructors to be flexible in adapting it to the needs of their students and courses. Community Writing: is distinguished by pedagogy based on a collaborative process-oriented service learning approach that emphasizes media critique and field research on community issues chosen by individual students; answers real student questions such as: Where do I find articles on my topic? What if evidence contradicts my hypothesis? How do I know if a source is biased?; is web-savvy-guides students into building their own Web sites including a unique guide for critiquing the design and veracity of other people's websites; and is media-savvy-topics include media monopolies spin control | Community Writing Researching Social Issues Through Composition GBP 180.00 1
