Numerical Partial Differential Equations - Conservation Laws and Elliptic Equations (Hardcover, 1999 ed.): J.W. Thomas Numerical Partial Differential Equations - Conservation Laws and Elliptic Equations (Hardcover, 1999 ed.)
J.W. Thomas
R2,651 Discovery Miles 26 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Continuing the theme of the first, this second volume continues the study of the uses and techniques of numerical experimentation in the solution of PDEs. It includes topics such as initial-boundary-value problems, a complete survey of theory and numerical methods for conservation laws, and numerical schemes for elliptic PDEs. The author stresses the use of technology and graphics throughout for both illustration and analysis.

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills - A Practical Guide (Hardcover): Matthew J. W. Thomas Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills - A Practical Guide (Hardcover)
Matthew J. W. Thomas
R4,036 Discovery Miles 40 360 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Providing a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries, this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation, healthcare, rail, maritime, and other high-risk industries. Currently, each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes, particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However, there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin, O'Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training, and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skills as they relate to safe operations, the text does not focus on the "nuts and bolts" of designing training and assessment programs. To this end, Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills: A Practical Guide provides an extension of this work and a fitting companion text.

Service of Ladies - An autobiography (Paperback, New Ed): Ulrich Von Liechtenstein Service of Ladies - An autobiography (Paperback, New Ed)
Ulrich Von Liechtenstein; Translated by J.W. Thomas; Introduction by Kelly DeVries
R707 Discovery Miles 7 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ulrich von Liechtenstein's extraordinary account of his adventures as a knight-errant is one of the most vivid images of chivalric life. Ulrich von Liechtenstein's extraordinary account of his adventures as a knight-errant is one of the most vivid images of chivalric life to have come down to us. His knightly autobiography was written in the mid-thirteenth century,and gives an account of the "journey of Venus" which he undertook in 1226 in honour of his lady, in which he claimed to have broken 307 spears in jousts against all comers in the space of a month. Some of it is obviously quietlyexaggerated, written for his friends' entertainment many years later, and he is not above a sly dig at the conventions of courtly love, but he completely accepts its basic ideas. It is full of lively episodes and good stories, aswell as verses in honour of his lady; if the tale has been polished up for effect, it is nonetheless a thoroughly entertaining account of how a knight saw his ideal career in the jousting field. If the name is unexpectedly familiar to modern readers, it is because it was borrowed by the hero of the film A Knight's Tale; Ulrich would have certainly approved of his exploits. Introduction by KELLY DEVRIES.

J.W. Thomas; Introduction by Kelly DeVries
R733 Discovery Miles 7 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume presents the first English translation of one of the most original literary products of the German medieval period. It is introduced with a sketch of the poet's life, an evaluation of his work as autobiography and as fiction, and a survey of the extensive criticism that has been devoted to it. Service of Ladies has been put into English not only as a significant document of its time and place, but more especially because it is a piece of literature which is perhaps as entertaining today as it was seven centuries ago when Ulrich was reciting it to the laughter and applause of the knights and ladies of his native Styria.

Hartmann von Aue; Translated by J.W. Thomas; Introduction by J.W. Thomas
R524 R495 Discovery Miles 4 950 Save R29 (6%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

As the earliest Arthurian verse-novel in the German language, Hartmann von Aue's Erec was highly influential, not only on the many Arthurian works that followed, but also on courtly narrative verse in general. However, his tale is of more than antiquarian interest. Its subjects--the individual in conflict with society and the destructive force of possessive love--are modern, and its language, when transferred into prose, is more direct and lucid than most contemporary writing. Indeed, it was the conviction that the story deserved a much larger audience than that of medieval scholars which inspired this translation, the first into English.

Wigalois - The Knight of Fortune's Wheel (Paperback): Wirnt (Von Grafenberg) Wigalois - The Knight of Fortune's Wheel (Paperback)
Wirnt (Von Grafenberg); Translated by J.W. Thomas; Introduction by J.W. Thomas
R783 Discovery Miles 7 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Arthurian verse-novel "Wigalois," written by the German knight Wirnt von Grafenberg in the early years of the thirteenth century, tells a story which was well known in the medieval period, appearing in eight versions of four languages. This first English translation makes accessible to a new audience the adventure-filled tale of the hero's knightly education and quest for honor, and his ultimate recognition of Sir Gawain as his long-lost father. The translator's introduction compares Wirnt's work with other treatments of the Wigalois material in France, England, and Italy; discusses the German sources and reception of the novel; and offers a careful literary analysis.

Iwein - The Knight with the Lion (Paperback): Hartmann von Aue Iwein - The Knight with the Lion (Paperback)
Hartmann von Aue; Translated by J.W. Thomas; Introduction by J.W. Thomas
R683 Discovery Miles 6 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Few stories were as widely known during the Middle Ages as the account of Iwein and Laudine, which appeared in French, Welsh, English, Norse, Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, and two German variants. The older German version, that by the Swabian nobleman Hartmann von Aue, won instant popularity and became a model of form, style, and language for the many courtly epics which his countrymen composed up to the beginning of the modern period. In recent years, his Iwein has enjoyed a remarkable revival among medieval scholars as traditional interpretations have been challenged by new ones.
