Batley and Dewsbury are the professional rugby league clubs whose grounds are in closest proximity. John Roe brings together a collection of colourful reminiscences of the supporters, administrators and players of both clubs

The rich archive history of Batley Cricket, Athletic and Football Club - from its birth in 1880 through joining the breakaway Northern Union, which subsequently became rugby league, to the current Bulldogs. All of which makes the 'Gallant Youths' one of the oldest clubs in the world, playing on a ground that is among sport's most historic venues.

Designed for the 21st century classroom, this textbook poses, refines, and analyzes questions of sustainability in a quantitative environment. Building mathematical knowledge in the context of issues relevant to every global citizen today, this text takes an approach that empowers students of all disciplines to understand and reason with quantitative information. Whatever conclusions may be reached on a given topic, this book will prepare the reader to think critically about their own and other people¿s arguments and to support them with careful, mathematical reasoning. Topics are grouped in themes of measurement, flow, connectivity, change, risk, and decision-making. Mathematical thinking is at the fore throughout, as students learn to model sustainability on local, regional, and global scales. Exercises emphasize concepts, while projects build and challenge communication skills. With no prerequisites beyond high school algebra, instructors will find this book arich resource for engaging all majors in the mathematics classroom. From the ForewordNo longer will you be just a spectator when people give you quantitative information¿you will become an active participant who can engage and contribute new insights to any discussion.[¿] There are many math books that will feed you knowledge, but it is rare to see a book like this one that will help you cultivate wisdom.[¿] As the authors illustrate, mathematics that pays attention to human considerations can help you look at the world with a new lens, help you frame important questions, and help you make wise decisions.

The index theorem is a central result of modern mathematics and all students of global analysis need to be familiar with it. This edition preserves the brevity of the first edition, but includes new material and reworkings of some of the more difficult arguments.
