Tailoring to the needs of both professors and students, Hammond uses case studies throughout to illustrate best practice in the industry, and he tackles the challenges and opportunities of online retailing in a comprehensive way. Modern Retail Management covers the topics students need to know about retail management, such as the connection between physical and online channels, some genuine retail innovations and the importance of the customer experience. Other areas covered include: trends and change in the sector, store environment, operations, merchandising, managing staff, globalization, marketing, logistics and consumer psychology.

Fantastic activities from Richard Hammond''s new TV series Blast Lab on ABC3. If your child loves the fun filled science of Blast Lab, then get them active at home with this exciting activity book packed with things to do and challenges from the series.

There are many countries around the world that hold Mathematics Competitions. The Competitions are extremely interesting since many professors try to create new interesting problems. If you want to take part in these competitions, you have to solve many problems. That means you must master your problem-solving skills. Challenging Problems from Around the World Vol 2 is a selected problem book. This book has only two chapters. The first chapter of this book is a collection of problems. We select many good problems from different sources. Most of them used to appear in Mathematics Competitions. In this part, we want the readers try their best to solve the problems. Remember that only a few people can solve all problems in this book. So, do not be up set if you cannot solve some problems. Even we cannot solve problems, we still gain some techniques in solving problems. The readers should keep in mind that the only way in learning Mathematics is to do Mathematics. The second chapter of this book was written about the solution to each problem that listed in the first chapter. We try to solve the problems step by step. We believe that the solutions will help the readers to understand well. Reading through this part, we hope the readers will learn many problem-solving strategies. Let this book be your close friend when you learn about Mathematics. We hope the readers have a great journey in reading this book. Richard S.Hammond

Trigonometry is an extremely popular branch in Mathematics. Mostly, it is appeared in Mathematical Competitions. Moreover, it is very helpful to students who are majoring in engineering. The book that you hold in this moment is a book that contains a very basic knowledge in Trigonometry. This book is divided into three sections that can help the readers to understand easily when reading through this book.The first section of this book is about the basic definitions and formulas in Trigonometry. This section has various trigonometric formulas that are often used to solve trigonometric problems. Going through this section, the readers will have some concepts in solving problems. After finishing this section, the readers should work through the second section of this book. It is a list of trigonometric problems. We have tried to collect many problems from many different sources to help the readers working through what they have learnt in the first section of this book. The readers should try hard to solve those problems without seeing the solutions. The last section of this book is about the solutions of each problem that we have listed in the second section of this book. We have tried to solve each problems step by step to make the readers understand clearly. We hope this book can be a friend of the readers that can help them when they are stuck with Trigonometry.We also want you to keep in mind that the only way in learning Mathematics is to do Mathematics. You should not think that you cannot do it, try it until you find a way in solving the problems. There are different methods in solving problems, believe in yourself that you can find one. The beginning in learning is not easy. However, if you do not afraid to start the beginning, you are a half of your way in learning.Authors: Richard S.Hammond and PISETH CHEA

Flat roof surfaces represent a significant proportion of urban areas and perform a variety of functions for buildings, with a corresponding variety of impacts on the urban environment and its infrastructure. One of the most important flat roof functions is the collection and discharge of rainwater, which especially during storms has a substantial impact on municipal sewer systems and the water bodies into which they discharge. The use of vegetated, or ''green'', roofs has become a prevalent strategy for mitigating the impacts of stormwater runoff from flat roof surfaces in urban areas, including in Canadian cities, and has received a significant amount of research attention. There is also a variety of ''blue'' roof strategies that involve detention or retention of rainwater, either on roof surfaces or in cisterns. These approaches have received considerably less research attention, particularly for large buildings. This study compares the performance of green and blue roof systems, based on their effectiveness as stormwater management strategies, as well as their life cycle energy, carbon dioxide, and economic impacts. The more qualitative attributes of green and blue roofs are also explored, as well as their compatibility with other rooftop technologies including solar photovoltaic panels, solar thermal hot water heating systems, and high albedo membranes. In this context, the apparently under-appreciated opportunities for rainwater harvesting and reuse inside buildings are examined for a variety of large building types in three Canadian cities with different climatic conditions: Calgary, Alberta, London, Ontario, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. From this investigation, recommended decision criteria are developed for the selection of the most appropriate green or blue roof strategies depending on the characteristics of a particular building project, including its size, occupancy, geographic location, and urban context. Limitations of this study''s methods, as well as issues in need of further research, are also discussed.
