HB. NEW. . There may be no insect with worse PR than the wasp, and none guarding so many undiscovered wonders.Where bees and ants have long been the darlings of the insect world, wasps are much older, cleverer and more diverse. They are the bee's evolutionary ancestors - flying 100 million years earlier - and today they are just as essential for the survival of our environment. A bee, ecologist Professor Seirian Sumner argues, is just a wasp that has forgotten how to hunt. For readers of <i>Entangled Life, Other Minds</i> and <i>The Gospel of Eels</i>, this is a book to upturn your expectations about one overlooked animal and the wider architecture of our natural world.With endless surprises, this book might teach you about the wasps that spend their entire lives sealed inside a fig, about stinging wasps, about parasitic wasps, about wasps that turn cockroaches into living zombies, about how wasps taught us to make paper.It offers up a maligned insect in all its diverse, unexpected splendour; as both predator and pollinator, the wasp is an essential pest controller worldwide. Inside their sophisticated social worlds is the best model we have for the earth's major evolutionary transitions. In their understudied biology are clues to progressing medicine, including a possible cure for cancer.The closer you look at these spurned, winged insects - both custodians and bouncers of our planet - the more you see. Their secrets have so far gone mostly untapped, but the potential of the wasp is endless.. [9780008394479], William Collins, 2022, 0, Shaker Publishing BV, 2012. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. The conference is based on the idea that the Bauhaus school of architecture anticipated essential thoughts of environmental protection and sustainability more than 90 years ago, and seeks to incorporate such principles into environmental informatics. The proceedings are published in two volumes, the first on core application areas and the second on open data and industrial ecological management. The 100 papers cover environment and health; communicating chemical safety information; GIS and web services; INSPIRE, GMES, and GEOSS; environmental communication; information and communications technology and climate change; environmental modeling and simulation; environmental and sustainability indicators; monitoring and mobile applications; linking open data about the environment; information and communication technology for life cycle assessment; green information technology; software tools and databases; environmental management information systems; and sustainability and environmental performance indicators. The volumes are paged separately, and each contains the author index for both; there is no subject index.

Summary: Three papers and associated appendices are of archaeological interest. E Gilbert (81-113) discusses the literary and archaeological evidence for the church built by Wilfrid and his successors, suggesting that the crypt is an early Christian type to which a western entrance was subsequently added. Partly underground, this crypt stood in a nave, with wall passages, which was later enlarged by Acca. The building had a transept and the surviving apse was part of a two-staged sanctuary. The paper includes consideration of churches at Peterborough, Repton and Ripon. In an examination of Hexham's pre-Norman sculpture (115-40) R J Cramp discusses the function of the architectural fragments and identifies late Roman elements in their decoration. In treating 'Acca's cross' and associated vine-scrolls in Northumbria it is suggested that the original source for this motif is Middle Eastern, perhaps in some metalwork form. Appendix II (172-9) lists all Anglo-Saxon sculpture from Hexham and in Appendix III (180-84) E Coatsworth examines two depictions of the crucifixion. R N Bailey (141-67) discusses pre-Norman metalwork associated with Hexham and gathers together surviving information about its discovery and subsequent ownership. Among other new interpretations it is shown that the bucket handle-attachment consists of a mask set over a small modelled quadruped closely paralleled on an escutcheon from Gausel (Norway). Appendix IV by H E Pagan (185-90) examines the 9th-century coins found in the bucket., Newcastle upon Tyne [England] : Oriel Press, 1974, 0<
