Deregulation of the supply industry worlwide, and the resulting competition, is forcing utilities to operate their facilities at ever higher efficiency, driving this trend. During the last decade, a number of control devices under the term flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) technology have been proposed and implemented. This book provides a comprehensive guide to FACTS, covering all the major aspects in research and development of FACTS technologies. Various real-world applications are also included to demonstrate the issues and benefits of applying FACTS. Written by international experts in the field from both industry and academia, this book will be a useful reference for professional engineers involved in the operation and control of modern power systems. It will also be of value to postgraduate students and researchers.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/130b6f69/flexible-ac-transmission-systems-facts-yong-hua-song-9780852967713.jpg|9780852967713|Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) : Hardback : Institution of Engineering and Technology : 9780852967713 : 30 Jun 1999 : This book provides a comprehensive guide to flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS), covering all the major aspects in res ...|new|1|1|51|115|0|GBP|Yong Hua Song|Institution of Engineering and Technology|30 Jun 1999|Automatic control engineering 9780852968345|Power System Protection: Volume 1|146.49|https://wordery.com/power-system-protection-volume-1-the-electricity-training-association-9780852968345|The worldwide growth in demand for electricity has forced the pace of developments in electrical power system design to meet consumer needs for reliable, secure and cheap supplies. Power system protection, as a technology essential to high quality supply, is widely recognised as a specialism of growing and often critical importance, in which power system needs and technological progress have combined to result in rapid developments in policy and practice in recent years. In the United Kingdom, the need for appropriate training in power system protection was recognised in the early 1960s with the launch of a correspondence course from which these books emerged and have since developed designed to meet the needs of protection staff throughout the world. The Electricity Training Association, in response to the important recent developments in the field of protection, have now commissioned an additional volume covering digital technology. The existing three volumes, of which this is the second, have been reviewed by leading authorities within the electricity supply industry and electrical manufacturing companies in the UK and, with the new fourth volume, the new edition gives a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject, covering theory, analytical and design principles, equipment design and application and protection management.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/bbcdb7b5/power-system-protection-volume-1-the-electricity-training-association-9780852968345.jpg|9780852968345|Power System Protection: Volume 1 : Hardback : Institution of Engineering and Technology : 9780852968345 : 01 Jan 1995 : This book gives a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of power system protection, covering theory, analytical and design princi ...|new|1|1|106|133|0|GBP|The Electricity Training Association|Institution of Engineering and Technology|01 Jan 1995|Power networks, systems, stations & plants 9780852725764|A Walkers' Guide to the Geology and Landscape of Western Mendip|11.71|https://wordery.com/a-walkers-guide-to-the-geology-and-landscape-of-western-mendip-a-r-farrant-9780852725764|Booklet and accompanying 1: 25 000 scale geological map in a wallet|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/1257b0fa/a-walkers-guide-to-the-geology-and-landscape-of-western-mendip-a-r-farrant-9780852725764.jpg|9780852725764|A Walkers' Guide to the Geology and Landscape of Western Mendip : Mixed media product : British Geological Survey : 9780852725764 : 01 Jan 2008 : Booklet and accompanying 1: 25 000 scale geological map in a wallet|new|1|1|5|12|0|GBP|A.

The United Nations' presence in Sierra Leone has made that country a subject of international attention to an unprecedented degree. Once identified as a source of 'the New Barbarism', it has also become a proving ground for Western interventions in the war against terrorism. The conventional diplomatic approach to Sierra Leone's civil war is that it has been a contest between two clearly defined sides. Keen demonstrates this is not the case: the various armed groups were fractured throughout the 1990s, often colluded with one another, and had little interest in bringing the war to an end. This book not only represents a new and innovative approach to the study of war and Third World development and politics generally.

Trude Levi was inspired to set down her memories of her experiences as a young Hungarian girl deported to Buchenwald to work like a slave in a munitions factory. She says she had no sense of survival but was sustained by a strong sense of self-respect and a stubborn refusal to compromise. On her twenty-first birthday she collapsed from exhaustion on an infamous Death March and was left lying where she fell, not even worth a bullet. So, when the war ended shortly afterwards, she had survived - just. Years of wandering, poverty and hardship followed. Illness, disillusion and the insensitivity of others too their toll, yet the author is able to describe her experiences with directness and without self-pity. Her most fervent wish in telling her story is that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten, and that the events she recorded are never allowed to happen again.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/2eddaa04/a-cat-called-adolf-trude-levi-9780853032892.jpg|9780853032892|A Cat Called Adolf : Paperback : Vallentine Mitchell & Co Ltd : 9780853032892 : 30 Dec 1994 : This is one holocaust memoir which does not stop at survival but goes on to describe the lasting effects upon those survivors of their persecution, betrayal ...|new|1|1|18|20.95|0|GBP|Trude Levi|Vallentine Mitchell & Co Ltd|30 Dec 1994|The Holocaust 9780852726877|Exploring the Landscape of The National Forest|7.24|https://wordery.com/exploring-the-landscape-of-the-national-forest-british-geological-survey-9780852726877|From the British Geological Survey - a walkers' guide to the landscape and natural environment of The National Forest. This is a 106 page printed A5 book with a folded walkers' map at 1:50,000, presented in a folded plastic wallet. When you walk in The National Forest you will encounter a wide variety of landscapes. In the east are the uplands of Charnwood Forest with its craggy outcrops of ancient rocks, whereas farther west, younger rocks underlie a more gently undulating topography, dissected by valleys that include the river Trent and tributaries. This map and book pack shows you how the landscapes and natural resources of The National Forest have influenced human development from very early archaeological times through to the Industrial Revolution and the present day. Large areas were modified by activities such as mining that relied on rich geological reserves, including coal, gypsum and hard-rock aggregate. For everyone from the casual Sunday stroller to the keen hiker, the landscape of The National Forest is rich with stories to tell and explore. From the early signs of life on Earth through to the creation of a new forest in the 21st century, this book and map will unlock stories millions of years in the making.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/cd16e585/exploring-the-landscape-of-the-national-forest-british-geological-survey-9780852726877.jpg|9780852726877|Exploring the Landscape of The National Forest : Mixed media product : British Geological Survey : 9780852726877 : 30 Jun 2012 : When you walk in The National Forest you will encounter a wide variety of landscapes.

These range from simple recesses holding one or two straw hives in house or garden walls to large free-standing buildings which could hold up to 32 hives. The wide variety of forms reflects the wealth, occupation and idiosyncrasies of owners, the increasing knowledge of the life cycle and requirements of the honey bee and the economic climate of the day. With developments in beekeeping techniques in the nineteenth century these structures fell into disuse. Today they are often unrecognized and many are derelict or have disappeared altogether.
