Neil Nightingale and Barry Cook direct this adventure feature,
based on the 1999 BBC documentary series, which projects
computer-animated dinosaurs into live action settings to tell the
story of a young Pachyrhinosaurus. Patchi and his siblings Scowler
and Juniper are born into the dangerous world of the Cretaceous
period, where predators such as Gorgon the Gorgosaurus would be
only too happy to make a meal of them. Can Patchi make it to
adulthood and overcome the many hurdles required to become herd
leader? The voice cast includes Charlie Rowe and Angourie Rice.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AI 2001, held in Adelaide, Australia, in December 2001.The 55 revised full papers presented together with one invited contribution were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 100 submissions. The papers cover the whole range of artificial intelligence from theoretical and foundational issues to advanced applications in a variety of fields.
Parents often worry about raising kids in a tech-saturated world -
the threats of cyberbullying, video game violence, pornography, and
sexting may seem inescapable. And while these dangers exist, there
is a much more common and subtle way that technology can cause
harm: by eroding our attention spans. Focused attention is
fundamental to maintaining quality relationships, but our constant
interaction with screens and social media is shortening our
attention spans - which takes a toll on our personal connections
with friends and family and our ability to form real relationships.
Tech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World
guides parents in teaching their children how to reap the benefits
of living in a digital world while also preventing its negative
effects. Mike Brooks and Jon Lasser, psychologists with extensive
experience working with kids, parents, and teachers, combine
cutting-edge research and expertise to create an engaging and
helpful guide that emphasizes the importance of the parent-child
relationship. They reject an "all or nothing" attitude towards
technology, in favor of a balanced approach that neither idealizes
nor demonizes the digital. Brooks and Lasser provide strategies for
preventing technology from becoming problematic in the first place;
steps for addressing problems when they arise; and ways of
intervening when problems are out of control. They also discuss the
increasingly challenging issue of technology use in schools, and
how parents can collaborate with educators when concerns arise over
kids' use of technology.
THE WORLD FRACTURES AS A DEAD GOD RISES . . . Darel, dragon knight

Following the four books describing his successful career as a
military and civilian pilot, in Flying Past Mike Brooke gives the
reader a fascinating insight into his experiences flying historic
aircraft at airshows in the UK and Europe. From the highs to the
lows he takes us through the feeling of flying a Spitfire, working
with the Red Devils Parachute Team, flying with The Shuttleworth
Collection and in the Harvard Formation Team, and the pressures put
on display pilots - as well as the importance of preparation,
discipline and safety. This entertaining and informative collection
of stories will not only delight the many who have enjoyed Mike's
series of memoirs so far, but also appeal to anyone with an
interest in classic historic aircraft, aerobatics and airshows.
Mike Brooke's successful RAF career had taken him from Cold War
Canberra pilot to flying instructor at the Central Flying School in
the 1970s. For his next step he undertook the demanding training
regime at the UK's Empire Test Pilots' School. His goal: to become
a fully qualified experimental test pilot. Trials and Errors
follows his personal journey during five years of experimental test
flying, during which he flew a wide variety of aircraft for
research and development trials. Mike then returned to ETPS to
teach pilots from all over the world to become test pilots. In
this, the sequel to his successful debut book A Bucket of Sunshine
and its follow-up Follow Me Through, he continues to use his
personal experiences to reveal insights into trials of the times,
successes and failures. Trials and Errors will prove fascinating
reading for any aviation enthusiast.
Catch a rare glimpse into the training of the nation's defence
personnel, as pilot turned flying instructor Mike Brooke shares
with us some of his amusing firsthand flying stories. After his
success as a Cold War Canberra pilot, Mike was dispatched to become
a flying instructor at the Central Flying School in the 1970s.
'Follow him through' - as he would instruct his trainees - as he
experiences the quite literal ups and downs of teaching the Glasgow
and Strathclyde Air Squadron. Discover how he battled the
diminutive de Havilland Chipmunk in order to teach others how to
fly the aircraft, before finally moving to instruct on the Canberra
in its many marks. Here Mike will take you on a quite often bumpy
journey as an instructor of pilots old and new, recounting tales of
flying, near accidents and less serious incidents that flying these
old but still demanding aircraft bring. Following on from his debut
book, A Bucket of Sunshine, Mike continues to use his personal
experience to bring aviation to life, proving indispensable for any
aviation enthusiast.
A Bucket of Sunshine - a term coined by RAF aircrew for the nuclear
bomb that their aircraft would be armed with - is a first-hand
insight into life in the mid-1960s on a RAF Canberra nuclear-armed
squadron in West Germany, on the frontline in the Cold War. The
English-Electric Canberra was a first-generation jet-powered light
bomber manufactured in large numbers in the 1950s. The Canberra
B(I)8, low-level interdictor version was used by RAF Germany
squadrons at the height of the Cold War. Mike Brooke describes not
only the technical aspect of the aircraft and its nuclear and
conventional roles and weapons, but also the low-level flying that
went with the job of being ready to go to war at less than three
minutes' notice. Brooke tells his story warts and all, with many
amusing overtones, in what was an extremely serious business when
the world was standing on the brink of nuclear conflict.
