Alphabetical compendium of people, places and events in the history of Swindon, one of the largest towns in central southern England, by well known and respected local historian and author.
Child soldiers are generally perceived as faultless, passive victims. This ignores that the roles of child soldiers vary, from innocent abductee to wilful perpetrator. This book argues that child soldiers should be judged on their actions and that treating them like a homogenous group prevents them from taking responsibility for their acts.
Each title in the 'Hometown History' series reveals the important and exciting things that have happened in your home town.
Evoking a sense of terror, helplessness, and confusion, the memoir of Mark Devlin tells of his childhood and young adulthood spent in various state institutions for delinquent youths
The second edition of a comprehensive text designed for advanced graduate courses in quantum mechanics. The title word 'semiclassical' highlights the novelty of the work which emphasizes the influence of classical mechanics on the behaviour of quantum mechanical systems.
A story of the First Fleet, from the acclaimed author of My Mother's Eyes and Angel Of Kokoda. Beth is a child convict, caught stealing on the streets of London and sent to Australia on the First Fleet. Through Beth's story, we discover the unbearable hardships those first convicts suffered, not only on the long journey to Sydney Cove but also in the two years of near-famine following their arrival. The story also explores the new arrivals' relationship with the Indigenous population, and the devastation that the Europeans brought with them. But through Beth's experiences we also see the sense of hope that many in the new colony held for the future, and how they survived - and in some cases thrived. This moving story, illustrated with Mark Wilson's beautifully crafted and evocative artwork, was inspired by the experiences of Elizabeth Hayward, the youngest female convict with the First Fleet, and the journals of naval officer William Bradley and Arthur Bowes Smyth, the surgeon and artist from the First Fleet vessel 'Lady Penrhyn'.

This high-level monograph offers an excellent introduction to the theory required for interpretation of an increasingly sophisticated range of molecular scattering experiments. There are five helpful appendixes dealing with continuum wavefunctions, Green's functions, semi-classical connection formulae, curve-crossing in the momentum representation, and elements of classical mechanics. The contents of this volume have been chosen to emphasize the quantum mechanical and semi-classical nature of collision events, with little attention given to purely classical behavior. The treatment is essentially analytical. Some knowledge of the quantum mechanics of bound states is assumed.
