The increasing size and complexity of new structural forces in
engineering have made it necessary for designers to be aware of
their dynamic behaviour. Dynamics is a subject which has
traditionally been poorly taught in most engineering courses. This
book was conceived as a way of providing engineers with a deeper
knowledge of dynamic analysis and of indicating to them how some of
the new vibrations problems can be solved. The authors start from
basic principles to end up with the latest random vibration
applications. The book originated 1n a week course given annually
by the authors at the Computational Mechanics Centre, Ashurst
Lodge, Southampton, England. Special care was taken to ensure
continuity in the text and notations. Southampton 1984 CONTENTS

Thirty years before Henry VIII began the systematic destruction of
the English monasteries, the wealthiest religious community in the
country is under attack from a greedy Italian Cardinal and a
Spanish assassin charged with eliminating one of the young monks
whose very existence threatens to undermine the fragile alliance
between England and Spain. The Bastard of Glastonbury tells the
story of BROTHER THOMAS, a young monk, surrendered to the brothers
at a young age, whose life is threatened by those seeking political
and economic gain in England's new regime. Thomas, with the help of
an older couple and a troubled young woman, escapes the abbey just
as his enemy discovers his identity. Hoping to get Thomas on a boat
to France as soon as possible, his protectors rush him to London
only to be overtaken by his enemies at the last moment before
departure. A vicious fight ensues on the dark wharfs of the Thames
River, and Thomas's escape comes at a heavy price.
