Providing the first worldwide survey of active earthquake faults, this book focuses on those described as 'seismic time bombs' - with the potential to destroy large cities in the developing world such as Port au Prince, Kabul, Tehran and Caracas. Leading international earthquake expert, Robert Yeats, explores both the regional and plate-tectonic context of active faults, providing the background for seismic hazard evaluation in planning large-scale projects such as nuclear power plants or hydroelectric dams. He also highlights work done in more advanced seismogenic countries like Japan, the United States, New Zealand and China, providing an important basis for upgrading building standards and other laws in developing nations. The book also explores the impact of major quakes on social development through history. It will form an accessible reference for analysts and consulting firms, and a convenient overview for academics and students of geoscience, geotechnical engineering and civil engineering, and land-use planning.

Mathematics - The Core Course for A Level

Science & Math

Bostock, L.

Chandler, F.S.

Earth Sciences

Oxford University Press

Designed as a bridging text between GCSE and A-level mathematics, this book covers the whole of the Common Core syllabus for A-level mathematics, together with the additional material required by most examination boards. There is much transition material, especially in the areas of algebra and geometry, a wide spread of abilities are covered and there are graded exercises throughout. The "Consolidated Sections" throughout the book provide a summary of preceding work, multiple choice questions and A-level questions from past papers.

Core Maths for 'A' Level

Mathematics

Nelson Thornes Ltd

Part of the ST(P) graded series in mathematics, this book covers most attainment targets at Levels 4 and 5 of the National Curriculum, about half at level 6 and some at Level 7. Some of the work goes beyond Level 7, offering flexibility for those teachers who prefer to start the work at this stage.

ST(P) Mathematics 1A Second Edition

Shepherd, A.

Smith, Ewart

Part of the ST(P) graded series in mathematics, this book follows 1A and is intended to complete the coverage of Level 5 of the National Curriculum, most of Level 6 and about half of Level 7. Some of the work goes beyond Level 7, offering flexibility for those teachers who prefer to do the work at this stage in preparation for the tests at Key Stages 3 and 4.

ST(P) Mathematics 2A Second Edition

Children's Books

Education & Reference

Part of the ST(P) graded series in mathematics, this book follows 1A and 2A and completes coverage of Levels 6 and 7 of the National Curriculum, and most of Level 8. Some of the work goes beyond Level 8. In particular, there is a large section on algebra which starts the preparation for the skills needed to cope with the algebra content of Level 10.

ST(P) Mathematics 3A Second Edition

ST(P) Mathematics 4A Second Edition

Part of the ST(P) graded series in mathematics, this book completes the work necessary for the written papers in mathematics at the higher tier of most GCSE syllabuses, and also completes coverage of Level 10 of the National Curriculum. There is a good deal of material for revision and consolidation. The last chapter contains revision exercises covering Levels 7 to 10 for Attainment Targets 2, 3, 4 and 5. There are also exercises of problems, investigations and practical work that are suitable for practising assessment on Attainment Target 1.

ST(P) Mathematics 5A Second Edition

A revised edition of a textbook written to support modular options for the revised A/AS-Level Mathematics syllabuses, such as ULEAC Module P1. It contains the Core of AS Mathematics and provides the pure maths content of AS Mathematics, combining pure maths with mechanics and statistics.

Modular Mathematics (Heinemann Modular Mathematics)

Stanley Thornes

Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, this textbook covers the work necessary for the mechanics components of all boards' syllabuses for A-Level Mathematics. Topics are arranged in such a way that the necessary pure support should have been covered in a parallel course. Theory and worked examples are followed by ramped exercises which begin with straightforward questions, and consolidation sections contain a summary of preceding work, as well as exercises which include past examination questions.

Mechanics for A-Level (Core Maths S.)

This work is ideal for use as coursebooks, and for revision. Clear, concise explanations lead to detailed worked examples. Graded exercises offer practice opportunities. Self assessment exercises at the end of each chapter tests understanding. Investigations are included, which provide foundations for course work.
