A collection of the many biographies of scientist Isaac Newton,
demonstrating the ways in which his reputation continued to develop
in the centuries after his death. It includes private letters,
poetry and memoranda, and explores the debate over Newton's
reputation, work and personal life.
Academic - History Of Science - Biography; This edition is the
first thorough-going edited collection of the many biographies of
Newton, and demonstrates the way in which his reputation continued
to develop in the centuries after his death. Sir Isaac Newton was
one of the towering figures of British science during his lifetime
and for generations to follow. His life and works inspired many to
write his biography, and a body of biographical material began to
emerge that was added to over the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. Not all of the writings were published however, and
those that went into print are often rare and hard for today's
academics to come by.This edition from Pickering & Chatto is
the first thorough-going edited collection of the many biographies
of Newton, and demonstrates the way in which his reputation
continued to develop in the centuries after his death.

One of the hallmarks of maturity as a coach is awareness of how
your values, beliefs, and other factors affect your coaching
interventions. It takes skill to notice these influences which can
manifest both physically and mentally during coaching, while
simultaneously ensuring a client focused approach. Coaching
Presence examines how self-awareness can be built across key
aspects of coaching practice, introducing a model that will help
you make a conscious and deliberate choice for every approach or
intervention that you use with your client. It explores how, by
paying close attention to the motivations behind every coaching
choice, you can minimize the unconscious negative influences and
bias to produce the best outcome for the client and their wider
system. It will also help you recognize when conscious visibility
expressed explicitly to the client may actually be the best
coaching solution. An online supporting resource includes a 'Leader
as Mediator' white paper.
This first full account of Obasanjo's life from 1937 to 2010
combines an analysis of an exceptionally vital and complicated man
with a history of an exceptionally vital and complicated country.
Olusegun Obasanjo was Nigeria's military head of state (1976-9) and
President (1999-2007). His career is made the focus for a history
of Nigeria's first fifty years of independence (1960-2010) and of
African continental affairs during the same period (Obasanjo having
been an active opponent of apartheid and an architect of the
African Union). The most important African leader of his
generation, Obasanjo has had an extraordinarily diverse career as
soldier, politician, statesman, farmer, author, political prisoner,
Baptist preacher, and family patriarch. As a soldier, he secured
the victory in Nigeria's civil war. As military head of state, he
returned the country to civilian rule. For the next 20 years he was
ceaselessly active, before spending three years as a political
prisoner. Released from prison, Obasanjo served Nigeria as elected
President from 1999 to 2007, until his growing authoritarianism and
his manipulation of his successor's election ruined his reputation
among many Nigerians. This book argues that the controversial end
to his presidency must be understood in the light of his earlier
career. The author has used mainly published sources, especially
Nigerian newspapers and political memoirs, as well as recently
released FCO documents in Britain. John Iliffe is a Fellow of St
John's College, Cambridge. He retired as Professor of African
History at Cambridge in 2006 and has published widely on African
history including: A Modern History of Tanganyika; The Emergence of
African Capitalism; The African Poor: A History; Africans: the
History of a Continent; Honour in African History and The African
Aids Epidemic: A History. Nigeria: HEBN [PB]
The first in the epic series of war and legends Greece is in
turmoil, divided by feuding kingdoms desiring wealth, power... and
revenge. When Eperitus, a young exiled soldier, comes to the aid of
a group of warriors in battle, little does he know what's in store.
He is about to join the charismatic Odysseus, Prince of Ithaca, on
a vital quest to save his homeland. Odysseus travels to Sparta to
join the most famous heroes in paying suit to the sensuous Helen.
Armed with nothing but his wits, he enters a treacherous world of
warfare and politics to compete for the greatest prize in Greece.
But few care for the problems of an impoverished prince when war
with Troy beckons... An unmissable and ferociously exciting
adventure for readers of David Gemmell, Christian Cameron and Simon
Scarrow.
Over the years since its first appearance, "Datums and Map
Projections" has become a key book for many students and
professionals around the world. Its theme - a practical guide to
coordinate reference systems - is as important now as when it was
first published, probably more so when we consider the ever growing
use of satellite navigation systems and the introduction of web
mapping services such as Google Earth.While retaining the benefits
of the first edition - clear presentation assuming no prior
knowledge, a problem-solving approach, practical examples and the
combination of GPS-derived data with data from other sources - the
rewritten and expanded second edition offers very much more: a
different structure to give a better grouping of common themes;
greater scope to cover all possible different types of coordinate
reference system that are used in mapping and related areas; more
examples and case studies from around the world; adoption of the
terminology of the ISO 19111 standard (Spatial referencing by
coordinates); and use of colour illustrations.This remains a vital
text for students and practitioners in all areas of geomatics -
surveying, remote sensing, GIS, GPS - and much more. Its accessible
nature also makes it suitable for anyone with an interest in the
subject and its applications.
This book tells the remarkable lives of the pioneers of science -
from Galileo and Newton, Faraday and Darwin, Pasteur and Marie
Curie, to Einstein, Freud, Turing, and Crick and Watson. A series
of seventy articles, written by an international team of
distinguished scientists, historians of science and science
writers, provides an unrivalled account of the lives and
personalities behind the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all
time. Organized thematically, starting at the 'Universe', and
moving smaller through the 'Earth' and 'Molecules and Matter' to
'Inside the Atom', with the final two sections looking at 'Life'
and 'Body and Mind', it covers all the major scientific
disciplines, including astronomy, biology, biochemistry, chemistry,
computing, ecology, geology, medicine, neurology, physics and
psychology, as well as mathematics. The Scientists will intrigue
budding scientists, those fascinated by the lives of great
individuals, and anyone curious to know how over the centuries we
came to understand the physical world around us and inside us.
The greatest battle needs the greatest of warriors The siege of
Troy is in its ninth year. But Troy still stands. When Agamemnon is
threatened with mutiny by disillusioned troops, he changes tactics.
Ordering attacks on Troy's allies, he deprives the city of
reinforcements, trade and supplies. Yet even this does not draw the
Trojans out from behind their walls. Meanwhile Odysseus, Eperitus
and their men have become hardened soldiers. Odysseus just wants to
return home to his island Kingdom of Ithaca. But while Agamemnon is
still determined to revenge himself upon Troy for the theft of
Helen by Paris, Odysseus is held by the oath that he himself
created. Eperitus too is tormented: sworn to protect the very man
who murdered his daughter. As the war continues, Odysseus realises
that sheer numbers will never overwhelm Tory. If he is ever to
return home, then he must use cunning and guile to bring about its
downfall...
Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was one of the greatest scientists of
all time, a thinker of extraordinary range and creativity who has
left enduring legacies in mathematics and physics. While most
famous for his Principia, his work on light and colour, and his
discovery of the calculus, Newton devoted much more time to
research in chemistry and alchemy, and to studying prophecy, church
history and ancient chronology. This new edition of The Cambridge
Companion to Newton provides authoritative introductions to these
further dimensions of his endeavours as well as to many aspects of
his physics. It includes a revised bibliography, a new introduction
and six new chapters: three updating previous chapters on Newton's
mathematics, his chemistry and alchemy and the reception of his
religious views; and three entirely new, on his religion, his
ancient chronology and the treatment of continuous and
discontinuous forces in his second law of motion.
