Best of 2000 ADÂ is a landmark series from the cult comic,
bursting with our greatest stories for a new generation of readers.
Every Best of 2000 ADÂ contains a mix of modern classics and
gems from the vault. In each edition you'll find an explosive new
Judge Dredd adventure, fresh essays by prominent popular culture
writers, a graphic novel-length feature presentation by global
legends and a vintage Dredd case. In this volume: When Judge Dredd
investigates a potential whistleblower, it’s hard to avoid
paranoia when information is this Mega-City Confidential; from
medieval Prague to the streets of Elizabethan London, Kek-W and
John Burns sound the call to battle extra-dimensional Wurms and
join The Order; a rolling stone gathers no mousse as Pete Milligan
and Jamie Hewlett tangle you in Hewligan’s Haircut, a shear
reality-warping victory roll that’s just the tonic; quake to the
Cry of the Werewolf with an all-time Dredd classic by Alan Grant
and Steve Dillon. Boasting brand new covers from an all-star
line-up of artists including Marguerite Sauvage (Archie) and Glyn
Dillon (The Batman) with designer Tom Muller (X-Men), Best of 2000
AD is the essential gateway into the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
In 13th Century Germany, while reading the papers of her dead
father young Anna Kohl uncovers a shocking secret - that defending
Earth from an other-worldly menace is a secret cadre of warriors
known only as The Order. Now she, and her father's rag-tag former
comrades, must do battle with the sinister forces of these eldritch
creatures! From Teutonic Knights with robot heads to gun-toting
warriors in high speed pursuits on the streets of Elizabethan
Engand, The Order is an incredible genre mash-up of medieval and
Renaissance history, action movies, Michael Moorcock, Jack Vance,
and Hammer Horror!
This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International
Workshop on Optimal Design and Control, held in Arlington,
Virginia, 30 September-3 Octo ber, 1997. The First Workshop was
held in Blacksburg, Virginia in 1994. The proceedings of that
meeting also appeared in the Birkhauser series on Progress in
Systems and Control Theory and may be obtained through Birkhauser.
These workshops were sponsored by the Air Force Office of
Scientific Re search through the Center for Optimal Design and
Control (CODAC) at Vrrginia Tech. The meetings provided a forum for
the exchange of new ideas and were designed to bring together
diverse viewpoints and to highlight new applications. The primary
goal of the workshops was to assess the current status of research
and to analyze future directions in optimization based design and
control. The present volume contains the technical papers presented
at the Second Workshop. More than 65 participants from 6 countries
attended the meeting and contributed to its success. It has long
been recognized that many modern optimal design problems are best
viewed as variational and optimal control problems. Indeed, the
famous problem of determining the body of revolution that produces
a minimum drag nose shape in hypersonic How was first proposed by
Newton in 1686. Optimal control approaches to design can provide
theoretical and computational insight into these problems. This
volume contains a number of papers which deal with computational
aspects of optimal control."

Discover the pleasures of slow travel with this inspiring introduction to the beauty and possibility of the great outdoors.
Whatever your pace or purpose, the stories within will provide you with a fresh perspective on what it means to be “outdoorsy,” whether that means trekking from hut to hut in New Zealand, saddling up at a Patagonian ranch or simply taking a moment for mindfulness amid the pristine peaks of Bhutan. Featuring vibrant photography, practical guidance and thoughtful reflections on land stewardship, Kinfolk Wilderness brings together inspiring itineraries from five continents that promise adventure, inspire awe and spark a deeper connection to the landscape. You’ll find entry points into bucolic European idylls from Denmark to Romania, discover new hiking trails through the ancient hills of Iraqi Kurdistan and learn how to stargaze in the haunting dark-sky deserts of California.

Explore the art of mindful travel with Kinfolk, the pioneers in
"slow living," their philosophy of simplicity, authenticity,
intentionality and community. With nearly 450,000 copies in print,
the Kinfolk series has applied this philosophy to entertaining (The
Kinfolk Table), interior design (The Kinfolk Home), and living with
nature (The Kinfolk Garden). Now they have turned their attention
to "slow travel," offering readers a road map for planning trips
that foster meaningful connections with local people and authentic
experiences of local culture. Go museum hopping in Tasmania, or
birdwatching in London. Explore the burgeoning fashion community in
Dakar. Take a bicycle tour through Idaho, or a train trip from Oslo
to Bergen. Drawing on the magazine's global community of writers
and photographers, Kinfolk Travel takes readers to over 20 location
across five continents, with travel tips from locals, stunning
images, and thoughtful essays.
With over 650,000 copies of their books in print and nearly 50
issues of their magazine distributed worldwide, Kinfolk has come to
define the taste of a generation: From interiors to fashion,
portraiture, food and travel, the consistently boundary-pushing
photography produced by the brand has coalesced into one of the
most influential and immersive lifestyle aesthetics of the last
decade. The Art of Kinfolk brings more than 300 of the most iconic
images from the first decade of the magazine into focus. Ranging
from the deceptively simple to the surreal to the perennially
stylish, this collection of originally commissioned photography
captures the arc of an artistic adventure, a creative community at
work, and in the process illuminates one of the most enigmatic
aesthetics of the era.
"In this gorgeous, aspirational work, Burns, editor-in-chief of
Kinfolk magazine, collects 'stories about nature as nourishment'
along with photographs from homes across the globe to inspire
people to bring more nature into their own abodes. . . . Expertly
evoking a mood of understated luxury, this stunning spread will
have design junkies drooling." -Publishers Weekly A gardener with a
secret oasis on a Parisian rooftop. An artist making faux flowers
to brighten Manhattan apartments. A family of ranchers rewilding
the American outback. Anchored around the idea of nature as
nourishment, The Kinfolk Garden explores lush gardens and plant
filled homes around the world and introduces the inspiring people
who coax them into bloom. Through visits to friends old and new,
the Kinfolk team learns the secrets to a good garden, and what good
a garden can do for our self-care, creativity and communities.
Though many of the people we meet along the way champion the idea
of following natural instincts rather than a set of prescriptive
garden rules, there are practical tips throughout the book that
offer advice on everything from growing your own produce to
foraging for artful arrangements to simply keeping your houseplants
alive a little longer than usual. The Kinfolk Garden is an
invitation to engage with nature-to care for it, create with its
beauty and cultivate new relationships around it-and offers
inspiration and guidance to anyone looking to bring a little more
greenery into their life.
