"The supposed extinction of the Indigenous Beothuk people of Newfoundland in the early nineteenth century is a foundational moment in Canadian history. Increasingly under scrutiny, non-Indigenous perceptions of the Beothuk have had especially dire and far-reaching ramifications for contemporary Indigenous people in Newfoundland and Labrador. Tracing Ochre reassesses popular beliefs about the Beothuk. Placing the group in global context, Fiona Polack and a diverse collection of contributors juxtapose the history of the Beothuk with the experiences of other Indigenous peoples outside of Canada, including those living in former British colonies as diverse as Tasmania, South Africa, and the islands of the Caribbean. Featuring contributions of Indigenous and non-Indigenous thinkers from a wide range of scholarly and community backgrounds, Tracing Ochre aims to definitively shift established perceptions of a people who were among the first to confront European colonialism in North America."--

Cold Water Oil: Offshore Petroleum Cultures is a collection of essays examining how societies conceive of fossil fuel extraction in the inhospitable but fragile waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.What happens offshore matters. Currently, over a quarter of the world’s oil and gas is produced from beneath the seas. The offshore petroleum industry is thus a crucial point of origin for global carbon emissions, and other environmental harms. Cold Water Oil: Offshore Petroleum Cultures illuminates ignored histories, influential contemporary narratives, and emerging energy and environmental futures. The volume centres on North Atlantic and Arctic regions; the continuing but often strongly contested pursuit of oil and gas in frigid, tumultuous, and environmentally sensitive seas enforces the lengths to which corporations and governments will go to maintain the centrality of fossil fuels. The book’s contributors focus on the cultural, social, and ecological implications of oil and gas extraction in the oceanic territories of Canada, Norway, the UK, Russia, the US, and the Iñupiat of Alaska at a time of profound global uncertainty. In conversation with the energy and environmental humanities, and critical ocean studies, Cold Water Oil considers a region central to debates about climate change and the planet’s future.Cold Water Oil engages students and researchers interested in climate change, energy humanities, critical ocean studies, and North Atlantic and Arctic issues--

This book describes CoSMoS (Complex Systems Modelling and Simulation), a pattern-based approach to engineering trustworthy simulations that are both scientifically useful to the researcher and scientifically credible to third parties. This approach emphasises three key aspects to this development of a simulation as a scientific instrument: the use of explicit models to capture the scientific domain, the engineered simulation platform, and the experimental results of running simulations; the use of arguments to provide evidence that the scientific instrument is fit for purpose; and the close co-working of domain scientists and simulation software engineers. In Part I the authors provide a managerial overview: the rationale for and benefits of using the CoSMoS approach, and a small worked example to demonstrate it in action. Part II is a catalogue of the core patterns. Part III lists more specific “helper” patterns, showing possible routes to a simulation. Finally Part IV documents CellBranch, a substantial case study developed using the CoSMoS approach.

This volume contains the papers presented at the Third International Conference on Security in Pervasive Computing (SPC 2006), held April 19-21, 2006 in York, UK. The conference focused on methods, tools, principles, and practices for assessing and achievingsecurityinapervasiveenvironment.Newsecurityconceptswerediscussed,in domains and applications such as handheld devices, mobile phones, smartcards, RFID chips, and smart labels, as well as new, emerging technological spaces. The conf- ence also presented work on fundamental themes such as risk identi?cation and mi- gation,security policies for pervasiveenvironments,privacymeasures (especially cr- tographic protocols), and mobility and location-aware services. Submissions included work on biometrics, ambient intelligence, Web services, security requirements, and many other topics. We received 56 submissions, and accepted 16 full papers for presentation. Each submission was reviewed by the international Programme Committee. We are grateful to the Programme Committee members, and the additional reviewers, for their timely completion of the reviewing process, and for the quality and detail of their reviews and discussion. Our thanks go to all members of the ProgrammeCommittee for their efforts; the - ditional reviewers; the authors, for submitting their papers; the keynote speaker, Frank Stajano; the invited speaker, Howard Chivers; and the Department of Computer S- ence, University of York, for supporting the event. April 2006 John A. Clark (Program Chair) Richard F. Paige Fiona A.C. Polack Phillip J. Brooke Organization SPC 2006 was organized by the Department of Computer Science, University of York.
