Sinopsis

"Twilight Sky" explores the captivating atmospheric phenomena of twilight, examining the transition between day and night through the lens of Earth science and astronomy. It delves into the science behind this daily spectacle, revealing how light scattering and refraction create the unique colors and visibility of celestial objects during civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight. Did you know that twilight has historically been crucial for maritime navigation and determining prayer times? The book demonstrates that understanding twilight offers practical benefits and insights into our planet's atmosphere.

 
The book progresses systematically, dedicating individual chapters to each of the three phases of twilight. These sections detail the solar altitude ranges, the visibility of celestial objects, and the related practical applications for each phase. It emphasizes both the qualitative experience of twilight and the quantitative data that defines it, setting it apart from other books.

 
Throughout "Twilight Sky", the book adopts a clear and accessible writing style, making complex scientific concepts understandable to a broad audience, touching upon the impact of geography, latitude and atmospheric conditions. The book culminates with a discussion on the effects of latitude, altitude, and atmospheric conditions on twilight duration and characteristics, with real-world examples of how twilight influences various human activities.

    A clear, concise primer on the GDPRThe GDPR aims to unify data protection and ease the flow of personal data across the EU. It applies to every organisation in the world that handles EU residents' personal data.While the GDPR is not law in countries outside the EU, it is effectively part of the legislative environment for organisations that do business with the EU. This is enforced through a combination of international trade law and business pressure – after all, a partner in the EU is unlikely to want to risk engaging with a company in the US, Australia or Singapore (or anywhere else) that will put them at risk.EU GDPR – An international guide to compliance is the ideal resource for anyone wanting a clear primer on the principles of data protection and their obligations under the GDPR.A concise pocket guide, it will help you understand:- The terms and definitions used in the GDPR, including explanations;- The key requirements of the GDPR, including:- Which fines apply to which Articles;- The principles that should be applied to any collection and processing of personal data;- The Regulation's applicability;- Data subjects' rights;- Data protection impact assessments;- The data protection officer role and whether you need one;- Data breaches, and notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects; and- Obligations for international data transfers.- How to comply with the Regulation, including:- Understanding your data, and where and how it is used (e.g. Cloud suppliers, physical records);- The documentation you must maintain (such as statements of the information you collect and process, records of data subject consent, processes for protecting personal data); and- The "appropriate technical and organisational measures" you need to take to ensure compliance with the Regulation.- A full index of the Regulation, enabling you to find relevant Articles quickly and easily.Supplemental material While most of the EU GDPR's requirements are broadly unchanged in the UK GDPR, the context is quite different and will have knock-on effects. You may need to update contracts regarding EU–UK data transfers, incorporate standard contractual clauses into existing agreements, and update your policies, processes and procedural documentation as a result of these changes.  We have published a supplement that sets out specific extra or amended information for this pocket guide. Click here to download the supplement. About the authorAlan Calder is the Group CEO of GRC International Group plc, the AIM-listed company that owns IT Governance Ltd.

    A 36‑lecture audio course on the materials that run the modern world—from ore bodies and brines to magnets, batteries, chips, and reactors. Each lecture focuses on one element or mineral, tracing its journey from deposit geology through beneficiation and refining to the devices it powers. 
    We make the flowsheet legible: comminution and flotation; roasting, high‑pressure acid leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange; separation to oxides and metals; alloying and specialty powders. See how neodymium‑iron‑boron magnets are born, why lithium hexafluorophosphate matters in electrolytes, where gallium nitride wins in power, how graphite anodes evolve with silicon, and how the uranium fuel cycle and vanadium flow batteries actually work. 
    Markets and politics are treated as engineering constraints. Learn to spot yield killers, read offtake agreements, and separate strategic scarcity from narrative. Test real substitutions—ferrites in small motors, sodium‑ion for short‑range storage, gallium nitride versus silicon carbide—and where performance cliffs block redesign. We map chokepoints beyond the mine: separation capacity, reagents, waste handling, water and energy intensity, and manufacturer qualification cycles. Then we follow the consequences—export controls and quotas, permitting and community consent, tariffs and friend‑shoring, standards and labeling rules. 
    Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the science, supply chains, and statecraft of a materials‑constrained century.

    Not long ago, J. Matthew Sleeth had a fantastic life and a great job as chief of the medical staff at a large hospital. He was living the American dream—until he saw an increasing number of his patients suffering from cancer, asthma, and other chronic diseases. He began to suspect that the Earth and its inhabitants were in deep trouble. Turning to Jesus for guidance, Sleeth discovered how the scriptural lessons of personal responsibility, simplicity, and stewardship could be applied to modern life. The Sleeths have since sold their big home and given away more than half of what they once owned. In Serve God, Save the Planet, Sleeth shares the joy of adopting a less materialistic, healthier lifestyle, stronger relationships, and richer spiritual lives. With the storytelling ease of James Herriot and the logical clarity of C. S. Lewis, Sleeth lays out the rationale for environmentally responsible life changes and a how-to guide for making those changes.“Creation is groaning. And Matthew Sleeth has responded. Serve God, Save the Planet is not an alarmist call of despair, but a hopeful invitation to re-imagine the way we live. Sleeth’s words have the urgency of an ER crisis coupled with the deep faith that the Church is ready to join God in healing the wounded world.”--Shane Claiborne, activist and author of The Irresistible Revolution.
