It starts by examining the new emphasis on space and place that has emerged in recent cultural analysis, and shows how this spatial emphasis informs different literary texts. Having first analysed a series of novels that draw an implicit parallel between the end of the British Empire and the break-up of the unitary British state, the study explores how contemporary writing in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales contributes to a sense of nationhood in those places, and so contributes to the break-up of Britain symbolically. Dix argues that the break-up of Britain is not limited to political devolution in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is also an imaginary process that can be found occurring on a number of other conceptual coordinates. Feminism, class, regional identities and ethnic communities are all terrains on which different writers carry out a fictional questioning of received notions of Britishness and so contribute in different ways to the break-up of Britain 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary studies: from c 1900 - 606 $aRegionalism in literature 606 $aRegionalism$zGreat Britain 606 $aNational characteristics, British, in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRegionalism in literature. 615 0$aRegionalism 615 0$aNational characteristics, British, in literature. 676 $a823/.91409 700 $aDix$b Hywel Rowland$01794872 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962573403321 996 $aPostmodern fiction and the break-up of Britain$94335866 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04561nam 22007335 450 001 9911022454003321 005 20250830130157.0 010 $a3-031-93071-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-93071-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32275592 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32275592 035 $a(CKB)40832351300041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-93071-3 035 $a(OCoLC)1544977546 035 $a(EXLCZ)9940832351300041 100 $a20250830d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aGeophysics of the Cryosphere /$fby Matti Leppäranta, Petteri Uotila 205 $a1st ed. 2025. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2025. 215 $a1 online resource (286 pages) 225 1 $aSpringer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,$x2510-1315 311 08$a3-031-93070-3 327 $aPreface -- 1.

Cryosphere and Future -- Annex. 330 $aThis textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the geophysics of the cryosphere?Earth?s sphere of snow and ice?intended for advanced undergraduate students in geophysics, geography, geology, and environmental sciences. Unlike broader climate-focused or geographically descriptive volumes, this book provides a structured, physical understanding of snow and ice processes in high-latitude and high-altitude environments. Chapters cover the physical properties of snow and ice, the evolution of seasonal snow cover, the flow and mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets, and the behavior of floating ice on lakes, rivers, and seas. The book also explores the cryosphere?s role in climate systems and its future under changing conditions. Developed from long-standing courses at the University of Helsinki and international winter schools, this book includes end-of-chapter study problems and a compact annex of key constants and formulas. It is equally useful as a coursebook or reference for researchers in Earth system sciences working with cryospheric elements. The Authors Matti Leppäranta is an emeritus professor of geophysics at the University of Helsinki. He has decades of experience in the study of sea ice, lake ice, and snow physics. His research has advanced understanding in ice dynamics, thermodynamics, and climate interactions. He has held research and teaching positions worldwide, including at Hokkaido University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and lectured regularly at UNIS, Svalbard. A prolific author, he has published several books with Springer, such as The Drift of Sea Ice and Freezing of Lakes and the Evolution of Their Ice Cover. Petteri Uotila is a professor of geophysics at the University of Helsinki, specializing in polar oceanography. His research focuses on the polar oceans and their role in the climate system, with contributions to ocean modeling. He has held research positions at leading institutions including Monash University, CSIRO, and the Courant Institute at NYU. In addition to publishing extensively, he has authored book chapters on sea ice modeling and ocean?climate linkages. 410 0$aSpringer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,$x2510-1315 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aGeography 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aClimatology 606 $aEarth and Environmental Sciences 606 $aEarth Sciences 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aEarth System Sciences 606 $aClimate Sciences 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 14$aEarth and Environmental Sciences. 615 24$aEarth Sciences. 615 24$aGeophysics. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 676 $a500 700 $aLeppäranta$b Matti$01063256 701 $aUotila$b Petteri$01846888 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911022454003321 996 $aGeophysics of the Cryosphere$94431785 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02861nam 2200589Ia 450 001 9910972868203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a979-82-16-33422-4 010 $a1-4758-1539-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000387134 035 $a(EBL)2002060 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001460191 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11967571 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001460191 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11466038 035 $a(PQKB)11458369 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2002060 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000387134 100 $a20010122d2001 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aVideo demystified $ea handbook for the digital engineer /$fby Keith Jack 205 $a3rd ed. 210 $aEagle Rock, Va. $cLLH Technology Pub.$dc2001 215 $a1 online resource (191 p.) 225 1 $aDemystifying technology series 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a1-4758-1538-7 311 08$a1-4758-1537-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aContents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; CHAPTER 1.

This book, however, showcases an array of innovative schools that are doing something about it. And doing it well. These case studies demonstrate that schools do not have to choose between high academic standards and preparing their students for the responsibilities of citizenship. May these schools inspire educators everywhere to follow their lead!
