Sci-fi horror film based on the novel by John Lymington, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. When a freak heatwave sends the temperature soaring on the remote island of Fara, the locals, including Dr Vernon Stone (Cushing) and novelist Jeffrey Callum (Patrick Allen), are left dazed by the rising temperature. When Callum is reunited with his former mistress Angela Roberts (Jane Merrow), the atmosphere becomes even more tense. It is left to Godfrey Hanson (Lee), a visitor to the island, to solve the mystery of the deadly soaring temperatures.

This study presents the findings of a major investigation of second language proficiency in various groups of school-aged learners, and invites a frank appraisal of the research from an outside panel of experts. The theoretical and practical implications of the study are the subject of a lively debate focused on three main research issues: the nature of second language proficiency, the impact of classroom treatment on second language learning, and the role of social and individual factors in bilingual development. This original collection of articles will be of interest to all those concerned with policy and practice in second language education.

Pushed by the Covid-19 crisis, the UK government has borrowed massively to save jobs, businesses and the economy from collapse, making a mockery of the austerity policies that it had championed for a decade. As a result, the role of the state is now in sharp focus. The contributors to this volume assess what that role should be and how it should be harnessed for the good of the British people in all four of its nations. Together they present policy proposals capable of generating a new social settlement and a long-term, equitable economic recovery post-pandemic. It offers both a vision of a future Britain and a roadmap to getting there.

This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter, complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory. Simulations provide detailed information about structure and dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play a key role in our daily lives: polymers, gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid crystals, biological membranes, and glasses. The second edition of this pioneering book aims to explain how simulation programs work, how to use them, and how to interpret the results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly evolving field. Accompanying programs in Fortran and Python provide practical, hands-on, illustrations of the ideas in the text.

This book details the heraldry of the Stealth Fighter beginning 10 years prior to its history-making flights over Baghdad during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. It includes actual photos of many rare F-117A patches produced only for those intimately involved in the F-117A Program. Information dealing with the development of these patches and explaining their symbology are provided. It's also about the people and comaraderie involved. As a bonus, this book contains history and lineage of patches produced during the Lockheed Product Excellence Program's existence for the Engineering and Manufacturing organizations concealed deep within the walls of the highly secretive Skunk Works.
