Cone Volcano (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. It shows the cross section of a cone volcano. Labels describe the shape and structure of the volcano, and students can feel the layers, and the lava rising up through the middle.
Composite Volcano (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE students. The diagram shows a cross section of a composite volcano, with different textures indicating ash and lava, showing how the volcano builds up.
Volcano types (UEB contracted)
by RnibThere are three types of volcano shown on this page. At the left is a composite volcano made up from alternating layers of rock and lava; at the top right is a shield volcano made from many layers of runny lava; and at the bottom right there is an ash volcano formed from lava and ash. Each diagram has a dashed line image border. At the bottom left of the page, stretching across the diagram, is a layer of molten magma (the mantle). In the middle of the diagram, the magma has forced its way through the Earth's crust and is erupting from the top of the volcano, and also through two smaller vents on either side. At the top right of the page is the much flatter form of a shield volcano with magma at the bottom of the diagram forcing its way through the Earth's crust. At the bottom right is an ash volcano. You can see the lava and ash forcing its way upward from the magma layer at the bottom of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.

World globe centred on Africa (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis is a globe map centred on the African continent. As the land masses shown are on the curved surface of the Earth, this image will be distorted, especially at its edge. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Land is shown on the tactile image as a fine dotted texture and the sea by fine horizontal lines, these are green and blue respectively on the Large Print image. This globe map represents the Earth as seen from space, directly above the Africa. Central Africa is in the centre of the map, up the page is Europe and to the right of this, Asia. To the left of Africa are the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern half of South America, on the edge of the globe.

Shakespeare And The Geography Of Difference (PDF)
by John GilliesIn this engaging book, John Gillies explores Shakespeare's geographic imagination, and discovers an intimate relationship between Renaissance geography and theatre, arising from their shared dependence on the opposing impulses of taboo-laden closure and hubristic expansiveness. Dr Gillies shows that Shakespeare's images of the exotic, the 'barbarous, outlandish or strange', are grounded in concrete historical fact: to be marginalised was not just a matter of social status, but of belonging, quite literally, to the margins of contemporary maps. Through an examination of the icons and emblems of contemporary cartography, Dr Gillies challenges the map-makers' overt intentions, and the attitudes and assumptions that remained below the level of consciousness. His study of map and metaphor raises profound questions about the nature of a map, and of the connections between the semiology of a map and that of the theatre.9780521458535
Rock Engineering Risk (PDF)
by John A. Hudson Xia-Ting FengThis book provides a new, necessary and valuable approach to the consideration of risk in underground engineering projects constructed within rock masses. There are Chapters on uncertainty and risk, rock engineering systems, rock fractures and rock stress, the design of a repository for radioactive waste, plus two major case examples relating to the headrace tunnels and caverns for a hydroelectric project. These Chapters highlight in detail the authors' new rock engineering risk approach, especially how monitoring during construction can significantly reduce the construction risks. The book is particularly timely given the current increasing emphasis on geo-engineering safety, accountability and sustainability--which requires stricter attention to risk and greater reliability than ever before. Written by two eminent authors, the two most recent past-Presidents of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), this modern and well-illustrated guide on Rock Engineering Risk complements the authors' previous 2011 book on Rock Engineering Design, also published by Taylor & Francis. The book will benefit engineers, contractors, clients, researchers, lecturers and advanced students who are concerned with rock engineering projects in civil, mining, geological and construction engineering worldwide.
