In this stimulating collection of short stories amazing things happen: Nessie grants an exclusive interview, turkeys and foxes speak, ghosts write, dreams and fantasies take on a menacing realty, ancient history is brought to life, revenge is sought and found, larceny and murder are committed. But ordinary people do ordinary and intriguing things as well: there are first dates, first loves, naughty weekends, and testing marriages. Most of these stories are set in Scotland. But several lead us elsewhere in the world, to Africa and North America in particular. When the Scots left their country to explore the world they also shaped it in a profound and lasting way. These stories reflect the Scottish character and nature that contributed to the shape of the modern world. The whole gamut of human experience is explored here: humor, pathos, nostalgia, violence and love. If there is a common thread running through these stories, it is that the line between fact and fiction is very thin. We believe that every reader will find something to engage the mind, touch the heart or bring a smile. Everyone in the world says they want to visit Scotland but can't say why. The answer is here!
The Fundamentals of Animation by Paul Wells offers an illustrated and visually stimulating introduction to the key elements of animation.

It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission. In this captivating and carefully documented book, Dr. Taylor Marshall pulls back the curtain on their nefarious plan, showing how these enemies of Christ strategically infiltrated the seminaries, then the ...

This Open Access book discusses an extension to low-coherence interferometry by dispersion-encoding. The approach is theoretically designed and implemented for applications such as surface profilometry, polymeric cross-linking estimation and the determination of thin-film layer thicknesses. During a characterization, it was shown that an axial measurement range of 79.91 μm with an axial resolution of 0.1 nm is achievable. Simultaneously, profiles of up to 1.5 mm in length were obtained in a scan-free manner. This marked a significant improvement in relation to the state-of-the-art in terms of dynamic range. Also, the axial and lateral measurement range were decoupled partially while functional parameters such as surface roughness were estimated. The characterization of the degree of polymeric cross-linking was performed as a function of the refractive index. It was acquired in a spatially-resolved manner with a resolution of 3.36 x 10-5. This was achieved by the development of a novel mathematical analysis approach.
