In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Viking Age lasted a little over three centuries but has left a lasting legacy across Europe. These dynamic warrior-traders from Scandinavia who fought and interacted with peoples as far apart as North America Russia and Central Asia are some of the most recognizable historical figures in the western world. In the modern imagination they represent ruthlessness heroism adventurousness and a unique prestige embellished by the wondrous tales and poetry of the sagas. Yet the sum of evidence for the Viking presence is far less clear than their reputation implies. In Search of Vikings presents a collection of papers from experts in a broad range of disciplines including history archaeology genetics and linguistics to provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war. This book focuses on one particularly exciting area of the Viking world namely the north-west region of England where they are known to have settled in large numbers. North-west England was the crossroads between Ireland Scotland Wales the Isle of Man and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It was a battleground for distant powers and dynasties and its Irish Sea coastline created opportunities for trading and settlement. Silver hoards burials and Old Norse place-names attest to the Viking presence and Scandinavian DNA is detectable amongst the modern population. The 12 integrated studies in this book are designed to reinvigorate the search for Vikings in this crucial region and to provide must-reading for anyone interested in Viking history. | In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

In the Miocene and Pliocene fossil shell beds of the eastern United States the single most spectacular molluscan species radiation is seen in the ecphora shells (the Tribe Ecphorini). These bizarrely shaped gastropods with their distinctive ribbed shell sculpture represent a separate branch of the Subfamily Ocenebridae Family Muricidae. Characteristically these muricid gastropods are heavily ornamented with spiral ribs and cords and are considered some of the most beautiful and interesting groups of fossil mollusks found along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Floridian Peninsula. The ecphoras are greatly sought after by fossil collectors. The ecphora faunas and their individual species and subspecies are illustrated and described in detail along with photographs of ecphora-bearing geological units and in-situ specimens. The authors list the 67 known species and subspecies that are recognized as valid arranged by the eight genera and five subgenera that encompass these taxa. | The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

Fossil Ecosystems of North America A Guide to the Sites and their Extraordinary Biotas

Fossil Ecosystems of North America A Guide to the Sites and their Extraordinary Biotas

Most major recent advances in understanding the history of life on Earth have been through the study of exceptionally well preserved biotas (Fossil-Lagerstätten). These are windows on the history of life on Earth and can provide a fairly complete picture of the evolution of ecosystems through time. This book follows the success of Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems by the same authors which covered Fossil-Lagerstätten around the world. The success of the first book prompted this new book which draws on four localities from the original book and adds another ten all located in North America. Following an introduction to Fossil-Lagerstätten each chapter deals with a single fossil locality. Each chapter contains a brief introduction placing the Lagerst e in an evolutionary context; there then follows a history of study of the locality; the background sedimentology stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment; a description of the biota; discussion of the palaeoecology and a comparison with other Lagerstätten of a similar age and/or environment. At the end of the book is an Appendix listing museums in which to see exhibitions of fossils from each locality and suggestions for visiting the sites. | Fossil Ecosystems of North America A Guide to the Sites and their Extraordinary Biotas

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Much time is spent working out how to optimize the acoustics of large rooms such as auditoria but the acoustics of small rooms and environments can be just as vital. The expensive sound equipment of a recording studio or the stereo in a car or living room is likewise rendered useless if the acoustic environment is not right for them. Changes in wavelength to room size ratio and the time difference between the direct and reflected sound at the listening location mean that the acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling these specific aspects of physics sound perception and applications for small spaces Acoustics of Small Rooms brings together important facets of small room acoustics. Divided into clear sections it covers: Sound propagation—the effects of boundaries sound absorbers and time conditions Physiology and psychoacoustics Methods and techniques of room and sound field optimization Examples of how these principles apply in real situations Measurement and modeling techniques

Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal Inlets

Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal Inlets

This work explores coastal zones in the vicinity of tidal inlets which are commonly utilized for navigation sand mining waterfront developments and fishing and recreation are under particularly high population pressure and will only be exacerbated by foreshadowed climate change (CC). Although few recent studies have investigated CC impacts on very large tidal inlet systems the nature and magnitude of CC impacts on the more commonly found small tidal inlets (STIs) remains practically un-investigated to date. The combination of pre-dominant occurrence in developing countries socio-economic relevance and low community resilience general lack of data and high sensitivity to seasonal forcing makes STIs potentially very vulnerable to CC impacts. This study was undertaken to develop methods and tools that can provide insights on potential CC impacts on STIs and to demonstrate their application to assess these CC impacts. Two process based snap-shot modeling approaches for data poor and data rich environments are used to assess CC impacts and an innovative reduced complexity model is developed to obtain rapid predictions of CC impacts on the STI’s stability. Results show that STIs are unlikely to change their types but that their stability level is likely to change under CC impacts. The main driver for the change is the future variations in wave directions not SLR as is commonly thought. | Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal Inlets

Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Organizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization’s attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions small businesses need to create cost-effective security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Starting from the premise that “with security comes compliance ” this book starts by defining “security-first” and then walking readers through the process of creating a holistic security and compliance program. Looking at security and privacy through the lens of zero trust this overview of regulations and industry standards provides both background about and implications drawn from modern security practices. Rather than focusing solely on individual cybersecurity frameworks this book offers insights into best practices based on the commonalities between regulations and industry standards highlighting some of the primary differences to show the nuances. Woven throughout are practical examples of solutions that enable small and mid-sized businesses to create “cybersustainable” security-focused policies processes and controls that protect today’s future for tomorrow’s digital ecosystem. | Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses
