A pink haired girl dressed like a gangster, a kangaroo in a tutu and a homicidal manic with an obsessive trouser disorder can only mean one thing. Tank Girl's back for more! Following a bungled Mafia financed train heist and a shoot out in an outback petrol station, Tank Girl, Booga have gone on the run in a WWII German Mittlere Schutzenpanzerwagen (Sd. Kfz.251/1) armoured personal carrier with the only copy of the great lost Beat Generation classic, "Book of Hipster Gold" (said to hold the secret to ending all wars and suffering). Now with a convoy of Mafia dons, henchmen, a crooked cop and half the Australian constabulary hot on their tails it's one long frenzied chase across the Australian outback to the sanctuary of Booga's long-lost little bother's vast business empire and maybe world peace.

THE THUMBS DOWN METHOD. Get ready for some out-of-the-box thinking for improving your golf game. You probably never thought of Thumbs Down as a positive thing, but now it is. In fact, this negative expression is the best thing that ever happened to your golf game. It's not just another gimmick! Making a Thumbs Down motion while striking the golf ball squares the club and provides a power booster to your existing swing. Without trying to kill the ball, Thumbs Down releases the club and magically puts you in the correct finishing position. Good putters use their Thumbs for feel, also to visualize the line. Use your Thumbs to improve your ball striking too. Lower scores are not a guarantee; They are the natural results!

She's back! Join everybody's favourite beer-swilling, chain-smoking, kangaroo-lurving lunatic as she embarks on a cornucopia of all-new adventures! Featuring a brace of foul-mouthed, frenzied tales, witness Tank Girl, Booga, barney and Jet Girl as they debate the merits of pooing in a person's handbag; launch an all-out assault on a kids' TV presenter; and completely mess up Tank Girl and Booga's anniversary. And that's just for starters. Written by original "Tank Girl" co-creator Alan Martin, with art by acclaimed designer and illustrator Ashley Wood, "Tank Girl" - now with an all-new makeover - has never looked so good!

'An Introduction to Radiation Protection' is a comprehensive account of the nature of the hazards presented by ionizing radiation and the methods of protection. It takes the reader through the general background of the subject, the underlying principles applied to the control of radiation hazards, including chapters on human physiology, the biological effects of radiation and radiation detection and measurement, before moving to more specialized topics such as radiation protection in the nuclear power industry and in medicine. It also covers radioactive waste management and radiological emergencies. Now in its fourth edition, the text has been completely revised and updated to reflect the significant changes that have occurred in this area in recent years. The most recent ICRP recommendations are included, the section on legistlation has been expanded to emphasize European and International requirements in addition to those of the UK, while the chapter on radiological emergencies has been rewritten to highlight international developments arising from the Chernobyl accident. These in conjunction with a number of other important changes, will ensure the continuing value of the text as a comprehensive introduction to this field, and it will remain essential reading for those working in nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and in other industries requiring an involvement with radiation.
