There was nothing straightforward about the life of Professor Derek Jackson. As a principal shareholder in the News of the World, he was extremely rich, but it was as a pioneering atomic physisist in the field of spectroscopy that he made his name. He also distinguished himself in the RAF, working in Britain's air defenses and flying more than a thousand hours as navigator. In peacetime he rode three times in the Grand National. His private life was bohemian, and not very chivalrous - the book's title stems from his six weddings, plus another relationship that lasted longer than two of his marriages. He held some indigestable views, and did some alienating things, but this book gives a rounded picture of an extraordinarily talented, puzzling man.
Ladies, I'm not here to tell you how many secret ways you can bend over backwards to get some man to come and validate you. You've heard enough of that. Men, I'm not here to tell you how to attract more women in an effort to chase the fulfillment your heart yearns for but you never learned how to keep. You've tried that already. It did not, and still has not worked. I'm here to tell you how to stop getting mindscrewed, toyed with, and taken for granted. It's killing your hope in love, and likely even eating away at your sense of self. You don't have to admit it to me, and you can hide it from your circle, but deep down, you know. Why am I so sure? Because I've been there before. I've been on...
Comprehensive coverage of the principles, technology and diverse applications of optical magnetometry for graduate students and researchers in atomic physics.
Sandy beaches represent some of the most dynamic environments on Earth and examining their morphodynamic behaviour over different temporal and spatial scales is challenging, relying on multidisciplinary approaches and techniques. Sandy Beach Morphodynamics brings together the latest research on beach systems and their morphodynamics and the ways in which they are studied in 29 chapters that review the full spectrum of beach morphodynamics. The chapters are written by leading experts in the field and provide introductory level understanding of physical processes and resulting landforms, along with more advanced discussions.
Lord Berners was one of the most colourful and flamboyant personalities of his day. This title offers a new documentary approach - interviews with leading figures and contemporaries who knew him and his work, set into context and complimented with much further information.
In "I Still Want It", Derrick Jaxn delivers a life-changing collection of poems immersed in raw, passionate, but brave vulnerability.

It is an elevation of human beings, an inner explanation of some events of the world, it allows you to see the inner facts and the corresponding events that generate them.
Originally published in 1948, this book contains one man's story of working for the Telecommunications Research Establishment from 1934 until 1945. During this period, Rowe worked on many projects relating to air defence, particularly the development of radar. The text is simply and vividly written and illustrated with multiple photographs of relevant people and places mentioned in the narrative. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in WWII and the history of radar.
Turbulence is widely recognized as one of the outstanding problems of the physical sciences, but it still remains only partially understood despite having attracted the sustained efforts of many leading scientists for well over a century. In A Voyage Through Turbulence we are transported through a crucial period of the history of the subject via biographies of twelve of its great personalities, starting with Osborne Reynolds and his pioneering work of the 1880s. This book will provide absorbing reading for every scientist, mathematician and engineer interested in the history and culture of turbulence, as background to the intense challenges that this universal phenomenon still presents.
It started with a kiss one New Year’s Eve and ended with me leaving her standing alone in the cold. One touch of my lips to hers and I knew she was trouble. The sweet innocent girl had no idea the reputation I had with the ladies—a different girl each night at the family owned nightclub I managed: Kenza. All anyone wanted was a good time and I provided that, then Gretchen Sinclair kept appearing not only in the nightclub, but in my dreams. Her glances made me nervous. Her soft smile made me crave. Then she stopped looking. She looked at him instead. It was time for me to do more than dream.
