What does an eleven-year-old boy do when he learns of a subterranean world? If he is adventurous and imaginative, he sets out to find it of course; and that is just what Ian Lawrence does. After solving the Portal’s secret, he enters the strange, but wonderful world of Arboritia. An amusing meeting with a Woodin called Bunkin draws him into an adventure he never expected. He learns of the theft of a special wand tip from a wondrous wand belonging to the unusual Snake Wizard, Snuggly P. Wigglesworth, and the effect this act will have on the Arboritian forest. The boy designs and helps the troubled Woodin community construct a hot air balloon based on Ian’s class science project. The balloon takes Ian, Bunkin, and a Woodin huntsman, Senic, over Turquoise Lake to Shrouded Mountain. On the mountain’s forbidding, fog-covered plateau they encounter many dangerous obstacles among which are fogworms, mire pots, polymorphs, genyxs, and xordions. But their greatest challenge is the Gnobblin thief and rogue, Naggins, who gives the reader a humorous encounter with his own guardsmen; and the frightening creature called Abominus, who stands in the way to Turquoise Lake and home.
The world of digital television means hundreds of channels, all trying to be different, all looking for product. But the overall international production spend has scarcely increased. Guerrilla TV shows how to make high quality programs at budget levels which were previously thought impossible, and how to make a living doing it. This book is about empowerment; about making things happen. It is packed full of ideas, inspiration and help. The author, an experienced director/producer/writer, provides an insight into the 'real world' of television program making today. He uses many examples of how different low budget programs have been handled successfully with very professional results. Guerrilla TV assumes that you are starting with little more than a desk and a telephone, in a world where everything has to be paid for. The mantra running throughout this book is: 'think before you spend'. Do not use money (of which you have very little) as a substitute for thought (which is free). And the other mantra: 'in the end, you don't save money by scrimping!' Read this book - take the advice offered and watch your career take off!
This book brings together, for the first time, the results of recent research in areas ranging from the chemistry of cold interstellar clouds (10-20 K), through laboratory studies of the spectroscopy and kinetics of ions, radicals and molecules, to studies of molecules in liquid helium droplets, to attempts to create molecular (as distinct from atomic) Bose-Einstein condensates.
Current concerns with climate change have resulted in greatly increased interest in power recovery from low grade heat sources. This includes both hot fluid streams which can be expanded directly to produce mechanical power and those which act as a source of heat to closed cycle power generation systems. Power recovery from low grate heat by means of screw expanders with a generalised overview of how best to recover power from such sources, based on thermodynamic considerations, which differs to the approach used in classical thermodynamics textbooks and which includes an introductory description of the types of working fluid that are used in systems used to recover power from such sources a...
