Sir William Lyons
Much has been written about Jaguar, but this is the first full biography of its founder Sir William Lyons, now published in paperback to mark the 110th anniversary of Lyons’s birth. This inspiring book, written by two eminent Jaguar authors, describes how Lyons established his motor manufacturing business and launched the Jaguar marque – and then masterminded decades of glory. This is the fascinating story of a man whose life was inseparable from his cars.
Sir William Lyons
The story of Sir William Lyons is indelibly linked with that of his remarkable Jaguar cars. This inspiring book describes Lyons' early influences, his tentative steps into the motor trade and how, while in his 30s, he established a substantial motor manufacturing business and launched the Jaguar marque. Lyons was known for his talent for automotive styling, as well as his shrewd approach to business. He also saw the importance of motorsport and used racing to establish Jaguar's image of engineering excellence.
All the Hours
ALL THE HOURS is a play in the form of a monologue by a nun with a Greek chorus of four psalm-chanting nuns, ending with a brief passage of dialogue. The scene is a convent cell over a single day sometime towards the end of the 20th century. 'The Liturgy of the Hours', which regulates the life of a Cistercian abbey gives the play its structure. The nun, who has been many years in the abbey, has been confined to her cell for a serious breach of The Rule. The drama unfolds in pared back, mischievous and emotive language in a profound examination of the fragility of religious belief, the difficulties of grafting the supernatural onto the natural, and the very idea of a religious vocation. William Lyons' autobiographical memoir about his onetime intimate relationship with a religious way of life serves as the introduction to the play.
Emotion
William Lyons presents a survey of psychological and physiological theories on emotions. Once the background is established, Lyons analyses his own theory, which throws light on the motivating role of emotions in our lives, our attitudes towards our emotions and our responsibility for them.

Working Guide to Reservoir Engineering
Working Guide to Reservoir Engineering provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of reservoir engineering. The book begins by discussing basic concepts such as types of reservoir fluids, the properties of fluid containing rocks, and the properties of rocks containing multiple fluids. It then describes formation evaluation methods, including coring and core analysis, drill stem tests, logging, and initial estimation of reserves. The book explains the enhanced oil recovery process, which includes methods such as chemical flooding, gas injection, thermal recovery, technical screening, and laboratory design for enhanced recovery. Also included is a discussion of fluid movement in waterflooded reservoirs. - Predict local variations within the reservoir - Explain past reservoir performance - Predict future reservoir performance of field - Analyze economic optimization of each property - Formulate a plan for the development of the field throughout its life - Convert data from one discipline to another - Extrapolate data from a few discrete points to the entire reservoir
Matters of the Mind
