"The most peculiar, imaginative and challenging work in British
comics " -The New Statesman In 1978 British comics were changed
forever with the release of Misty, the classic cult horror comic
for girls. Masterminded by Pat Mills, the original editor of 2000
AD, this weekly comic featured the best comics talent working on
haunting, terrifying tales. From high 70s glamour to chilling
stories that have haunted readers for decades, this Essential
Collection curates the creepiest, campest Misty serials and short
stories alongside critical essays, in a volume perfect for readers
old and new.
First Published in 1981, The Idea of Holiness and the Humane
Response is a radically innovative book, presenting a critical
appraisal of the concept of holiness and its effects. It offers a
view of holiness far less favourable than the traditional one, yet
its conclusions are by no means purely critical or negative. For it
sees certain other elements in Hebrew thought as marvelously rich
and fertile, insistently reasserting themselves, but repeatedly
overwhelmed by an opposed and stronger passion for the idea of
holiness. This book is an interesting read for scholars of
religion, social history and psychology.
If you know a little bit about financial mathematics but don't yet
know a lot about programming, then C++ for Financial Mathematics is
for you. C++ is an essential skill for many jobs in quantitative
finance, but learning it can be a daunting prospect. This book
gathers together everything you need to know to price derivatives
in C++ without unnecessary complexities or technicalities. It leads
the reader step-by-step from programming novice to writing a
sophisticated and flexible financial mathematics library. At every
step, each new idea is motivated and illustrated with concrete
financial examples. As employers understand, there is more to
programming than knowing a computer language. As well as covering
the core language features of C++, this book teaches the skills
needed to write truly high quality software. These include topics
such as unit tests, debugging, design patterns and data structures.
The book teaches everything you need to know to solve realistic

Two authorities on popular culture reveal the ways in which art can
enhance mood and enrich lives - now available in paperback This
passionate, thought-provoking, often funny, and always-accessible
book proposes a new way of looking at art, suggesting that it can
be useful, relevant, and therapeutic. Through practical examples,
the world-renowned authors argue that certain great works of art
have clues as to how to manage the tensions and confusions of
modern life. Chapters on love, nature, money, and politics show how
art can help with many common difficulties, from forging good
relationships to coming to terms with mortality.

The book is based on papers presented at a conference held in
Oxford, in March 1993, under the BRIDGE-COST-88 program developed
by the Commission of the European Communities. A wide range of
fungi, which are pathogens of a variety of crop and ornamental
plants, is covered and the book is aimed at postgraduate students
and research workers in mycology and plant pathology, including
those involved in routine testing of plants for quarantine or other
purposes.
Break free of your destructive relationship with money, and learn
how money can actually make you happy with How to Worry Less About
Money. Our relationship with money is one that lasts a lifetime,
yet traditionally books on the subject tend to take one of two
routes: a) how to get more, or b) how to deal with less. John
Armstrong turns these approaches upside down, and looks not at
money itself, but at how we relate to it and the meaning we attach
to it. How does it drive us and frighten us? Can it change the
world for the better? And how much do we actually need? Offering
surprisingly helpful new insights and liberating advice, this book
will encourage you to redefine your feelings about money, and
ultimately enable you to discover what is really important to you
in life. Continue your self-help journey with other titles from The
School of Life series: How to Stay Sane, How to Find Fulfilling
Work and How to Change the World.
What does it really mean to love another person? Is there such a thing as the ‘perfect’ partner? How does infatuation differ from the real thing? The need to love and be loved is central to our idea of happiness, yet it sometimes seems that the more we reflect on it the more elusive it becomes. In this lucid and graceful meditation on the deeper meanings of intimacy, John Armstrong explores the ideas that have shaped how we view affairs of the heart. Drawing on poetry, novels, philosophy, paintings and music, he shows how love is inextricably bound up with perception and the imagination: that loving a real, complicated person and being understood and valued by them in turn is not something we find, but rather something we create.
