He is clever, excels at rugby and has a fine singing voice. From
Appleby Grammar school he gains a place at University College
London, to study law, shortly after the First World War.
Unexpectedly, Tat mixes with art students from the Slade School,
who introduce him to a world he never knew existed. One of these,
Jane Cranshaw, a beautiful upper class girl, is a medal winning
painting student. Tat secretly carries a torch for her. Eventually,
to his surprise and delight, Jane invites him to spend the weekend
with her at her flat in Fulham, after a heady night of drinking.
They fall in love and seem to be perfectly matched. Tat is unaware
that Jane has a dark side and is on the rebound from a passionate
affair. As a consequence, the apparent innocence of the
relationship between the young couple is fatally overshadowed.
Nothing in Tat's background prepares him for what is to come. Their
seemingly idyllic relationship is torn apart by a succession of
emotional hammer blows, which plunge Tat and his best friend Olly
Sinclair, into a whirlwind of barely controllable turmoil.
Astonishingly, it is his powerful base-baritone singing voice,
which has matured into a true phenomenon, that proves to be his
salvation. Because of this, out of the blue, Tat is offered a
leading role in Verdi's Requiem, to be performed in public, when he
becomes involved with the College Choral Society. He is coached for
the part by the choir master. To his delight members of his family
are able to attend the second of these concerts. Suffused with
pride and exhilaration, he senses that after all, there is hope and
redemption within his grasp.
Railway Noise and Vibration, Second Edition provides a complete
overview of the state-of-the-art in rail noise and vibration theory
and modeling. The book describes each source of noise and vibration
such as rolling noise, curve squeal, bridge noise, aerodynamic
noise, ground vibration and ground-borne noise, and vehicle
interior noise in a systematic way, covering relevant theoretical
modelling approaches and their practical applications, with
extensive examples of noise control technology applied at
source.Noise and vibration are key obstacles to further development
of railway networks worldwide for high-speed intercity traffic, for
freight and for suburban metros and light-rail. With noise problems
all too often dealt with inefficiently due to lack of understanding
of the problem, this new edition is an invaluable reference for all
those working with noise and vibration from railways, whether in
industry, consultancy or academic research.
Pop music, in one form or another, has been with us almost forever.

The British Museum watch collection is unsurpassed anywhere in the
world, and tells the story of the watch which spans an incredible
500 years. Within the collection are examples ranging from
sixteenth-century early stack freed watches made in south Germany
to exquisite decorative watches of the seventeenth century.
Everyday watches from the eighteenth century and precision-made
chronometers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are
included, as are examples from the modern era. All the major makers
of Europe and America will be represented, including Thomas
Tompion, whose reputation stretched far and wide even in his own
time, and the Swiss-born Abraham Louis Breguet, who lived and
worked in Paris supplying the best that money could buy to the
crown heads and aristocratic families of the western world. In
contrast to the high precision of the horological giants, the
Museum has a growing collection of wristwatches, including those
with automatic winding systems. There are also extensive
collections of pin-pallet lever watches made for the mass market
during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by companies such as
Waterbury and Ingersoll. The collections are brought up to the
minute with the inclusion of early examples of electro-mechanical
watches and the quartz revolution.

SHUT UP & SIT DOWN RECOMMENDS "The greatest World War II board
game of all time" - Shut Up & Sit Down Lead your stalwart
troops to victory in this epic two-player campaign, played out in
the war's most infamous city. Stalingrad, 1942. Before you awaits a
gruelling conflict in this cornerstone battleground. As the bullets
and bombs tear the city asunder, only through wits and valour can
you seize the cornerstone of the entire Eastern Front and change
the course of history. A heavy burden rests on your shoulders.
Every casualty suffered in battle will weaken your forces for the
entire campaign. Every bomb blast and mortar shell leaves the very
ground for which you are fighting in further ruin. Every inch lost
to the enemy brings you closer to the jaws of defeat. Over the
course of up to fifteen branching scenarios, you will decide the
fate of Stalingrad and, perhaps, the war itself. Even though the
consequences of your actions will persist, the game itself can be
fully reset and replayed, allowing you to explore every potential
outcome. Undaunted: Stalingrad is a monumental standalone game that
expands the series' scope and challenge beyond anything that's come
before. Featuring more than 300 unique illustrations by Roland
MacDonald and 150 evocative mission briefings written by acclaimed
author Robbie MacNiven, immerse yourself in this campaign at the

Circles of Support and Accountability is a voluntary initiative
that assists people with convictions for sexual offences to
resettle in the community. People leaving prison with such
convictions often have difficulties in resettling. They carry the
burden of the conviction itself, which may be both stigmatising and
isolating, and they are the subject of sex offender register
requirements, parole and other supervisory conditions. Circles of
Support and Accountability in the UK started over ten years ago and
have slowly spread across the country. They work closely with the
police and probation services but rely entirely on volunteers
prepared to give up their time to work with people often otherwise
shunned by communities. Circles offer support to the person
concerned but also hold them accountable for their future
behaviour. They aim to ensure there are 'no more victims'. This
book is based on original research and provides a close-up picture
of how these Circles of Support and Accountability work in
practice. It brings together for the first time the voices of all
the participants, from the offenders and the volunteers through to
the Coordinators who link the volunteers to the professionals in
the form of the police and probation services. The research was
commissioned by Circles UK and funded by the Wates Foundation and
the University of Leeds, School of Law.
