It's summer at Camp Bleeding Dove and the year's batch of teenage
residents are engaged in the traditional camp activities, both
wholesome and libidinous. But watchful camp director Oberon (Peter
Stormare) is soon injured in a freak accident and the counsellors
are left to run the show themselves. This means that the summer fun
is about to take off in a new and wholly unpredictable direction.
Starring Brad Renfro ('Bully') and Dominique Swain ('Lolita'),
'Happy Campers' marks the directorial debut of 'Heathers'
screenwriter Daniel Waters.
Exploring the ways in which painting, applied design and
illustration intertwined over the course of the accomplished career
of Paul Nash (1889-1946), this book provides a new perspective on
one of the most gifted and celebrated English artists of the
twentieth century. Skilfully navigating the diversity of Nash's
design output, which drew in illustration, book jackets, posters,
set design, pattern papers, fabrics, glass, ceramics and
photography, in the context of Nash's painting and wider
pre-occupations, James King presents an artist who strove to
resolve his artistic vision. With Nash's work informed by seismic
shifts within the visual arts during his lifetime - from the
influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement on the one hand, to
Surrealism and Abstraction on the other - this fascinating book
reveals the considerable gifts that allowed Nash to create a wholly
original vision in turn.

During Charles Darwin's 1831-6 voyage on the Beagle, his on-board
library included 'Cook's voyages' (the edition is not specified).
This illustrated 1821 edition, in seven volumes, is representative
of the versions available in the early nineteenth century. Volumes
5-7 cover the third Pacific voyage of James Cook (1728-79), which
began in July 1776. Volume 7, written by James King (1750-84),
Cook's astronomer and second lieutenant, first describes the events
leading up to Cook's violent death, and its aftermath. In March
1779 the expedition sailed for Kamchatka to continue exploring the
north Pacific for a second summer. However, the extent of the sea
ice meant that in July the attempt was abandoned. The ships
returned to England via Kamchatka (described in detail), Macao,
Java and the Cape of Good Hope. The volume concludes with short
vocabularies of Tongan, Hawaiian, and the language spoken at Nootka
Sound.
Evacuating a city is a complex problem that involves issues of
governance, preparedness education, warning, information sharing,
population dynamics, resilience and recovery. As natural and
anthropogenic threats to cities grow, it is an increasingly
pressing problem for policy makers and practitioners. The book is
the result of a unique interdisciplinary collaboration between
researchers in the physical and social sciences to consider how an
interdisciplinary approach can help plan for large scale
evacuations. It draws on perspectives from physics, mathematics,
organisation theory, economics, sociology and education.
Importantly it goes beyond disciplinary boundaries and considers
how interdisciplinary methods are necessary to approach a complex
problem involving human actors and increasingly complex
communications and transportation infrastructures. Using real world
case studies and modelling the book considers new approaches to
evacuation dynamics. It addresses questions of complexity, not only
in terms of theory, but examining the latest challenges for cities
and emergency responders. Factors such as social media, information
quality and visualisation techniques are examined to consider the
'new' dynamics of warning and informing, evacuation and recovery.

Keanu Reeves: actor, musician, dog lover. He's the internet's
boyfriend. The poetic petrolhead. The guru on a surfboard. Part
samurai, part samaritan. He is, very simply, 'The One'. 'James has
been my movie guru for years and now he's my spiritual guru too!
From now on I'm going to ask myself: 'What would Keanu do?' Jo
Whiley In this hilarious book of pocket philosophy, film critic and
Keanu fan James King reveals what makes Mr Reeves so special. He
unpacks iconic films from the Bill & Teds to the John Wicks, as
well as the star's own free-spirited life, showing us why the great
man with the great hair has all the answers. And how everyone can
#bemorekeanu. 'A handsome, cool, enigmatic Gen X'er who never seems
to age, James King is the perfect man to write about Keanu Reeves.'
