Managing The Environment was originally written to cover the IOSH (Institution of Occupational Health & Safety) course 'Managing Environmental Responsibilities'. It provides underpinning knowledge to the NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety & Health) Environmental courses, The British Safety Council Diploma in Environmental Management and the IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment) Associate Certificate. It has a UK bias but is useful for internationa...

A primer for senior executives and practioners in disaster and Emergency Management Systems. A practical guide to DEMS implementation

A primer suitable for environmental foundation courses such as IOSH 'Managing Environmental Responsibilities', NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management and IEMA Foundation Certificate. It is also intended as a general reader in environmental management matters

The Recycling Universe hypothesis proposes that Einstein's famous equation e = mc2 is reversible under conditions of extreme gravity in that whilst mass may be converted into energy (as in nuclear reactions), energy may be converted into mass within deep gravity wells (within Black Holes) and consequently a viable mechanism for a steady state universe can be defined. Recycling begins with the conversion of mass into energy by two possible processes, evaporation of smaller Black Holes when ...

Both a fast-moving space odyssey and a powerful love story rolled into one!Alpha Seven is the seventh colonising spaceship in a series of ten. With it's crew hibernated it is struck by a meteorite shower and crippled. The surviving crew members are awakened from hibernation by the on-board computer into a nightmare scenario. They must make the decision to continue with their mission or return to earth, both risky options. Repairing the damaged vessel is fraught with peril, taxing t...

This treatise offers an alternative paradigm to the 'Big Bang' theory of the origin of the universe. It takes a fresh look at current cosmological knowledge, suggests the existence of and defines a Megamassive Black Hole. The existence of such bodies allows a rational argument for a steady state universe. This paradigm does not require a singularity at a particular moment, arguably the beginning of time, nor expansion at many times the speed of light, or the existence of the Higgs Boson. I...

A primer for senior executives and practitioners in Disaster and Emergency Management Systems.A practical guide to DEMS implementation. This book bridges the gap between the all-embracing reference volume and the academic treatise. It is clear, descriptive and simple, supported by case studies drawn from the litany of historic failures. Essential reading for anyone involved in running an enterprise - it could save your company and possibly even your life!

It has long been predicted by the World's scientific community, and indeed to my own knowledge from 1961 when I graduated that there would come a time when the planetary resources would become depleted, waste arisings and pollution of the land, air and water would seriously affect the environment we live in and at the same time human numbers due to population growth would become unsustainable. Undoubtedly, the most potent driver for this process is now recognized to be global climate chang...

The alpha Project sends colonising spaceships to nearby stars. With crews hibernated the ships fly to their destinations. Book one charts the progress of Alpha Four as it awakes to its destination and a perilous and expedition-threatening emergency

The Western World's economic system epitomised by the mighty $US begins to collapse under the weight of its own indebtedness as the mighty 'greenback' becomes junk almost overnight. Gary Alden is an entrepreneurial headhunter who has made preparations for this forseeable event and amasses a fortune in gold by buying 'futures'at the moment of the currency implosion. He uses his new wealth to set up a community on the lines of 'Noah's Ark' and so 'The Phoenix Project' is born. This is its st...

Memoirs of a Misfit: I was Conceived during the Battle of Britain, eyewateringly circumcised at birth, bombed by a Dornier 17, incendiaries, doodlebugs and the odd V2 rocket, frozen by the winter of 1947 and soaked when the thaw came at Easter time. Life could only get better after all that. Especially wen I discovered chemistry!

The Tobyjug Chronicles: Memoirs of a Misfit;Divorced, broke, Living with Mum.I bought a boat, went caving with the WSG. Became a teacher then a specialist FE Lecturer in Occupational Safety & Health in the Fire, Health & Safety at Southwark College and, boy was it fun!
