Andrew M. Jackson and Hank Bausch direct this horror starring
Michael Hotop, Ashley Salazar and Freddie Meyer. Charlie (Hotop)
and his younger brother Simon (Meyer) live a simple life on a
remote farm. Although they have lived and worked on the same farm
for all of their days they have never felt completely comfortable.
As their fears and nightmares start to come true they realise that
they were right not to feel at home.
A colourful, illustrated celebration of wild plants around the
world, and why we should love them not loathe them, with 50 graphic
illustrations by Paul Farrell. To call a plant a weed is doing it a
real injustice. It's simply a wild plant that is not deliberately
cultivated, growing where it is not wanted. By this definition,
virtually any plant outside a carefully tended garden is a weed.
The intolerance of weeds is a mark of how we have turned our backs
on nature and urbanized our land and lives. In this enlightening
survey, illustrator Paul Farrell uncovers the wild beauty in weeds
and explains the benefits of rewilding ourselves a little. Weeds
can be medicine, food, and an important aid for wildlife. One
person's weed is another's wild beauty. Paul's brilliant modernist
illustration style shows us dandelions, thistles and feverfew in a
whole new light. Each of the 50 weeds featured is accompanied by a
quirky history and its uses in medicine, cooking, arts and even
industry. Sample contents: US/Canada weeds: Dandelion; Daisy;
Groundsell; Chickweed; Nettle; Wild carrot; Sumac. UK/Europe weeds:
Foxglove; Deadly nightshade; Yarrow; Rosebay willowherb; Herb
Robert; Scarlet Pimpernel; Violet; Wood Sorrel; Red valerian;
Common knapweed
Current standard numerical methods are of little use in solving
mathematical problems involving boundary layers. In Robust
Computational Techniques for Boundary Layers, the authors construct
numerical methods for solving problems involving differential
equations that have non-smooth solutions with singularities related
to boundary layers. They present a new numerical technique that
provides precise results in the boundary layer regions for the
problems discussed in the book. They show that this technique can
be adapted in a natural way to a real flow problem, and that it can
be used to construct benchmark solutions for comparison with
solutions found using other numerical techniques. Focusing on
robustness, simplicity, and wide applicability rather than on
optimality, Robust Computational Techniques for Boundary Layers
provides readers with an understanding of the underlying principles
and the essential components needed for the construction of
numerical methods for boundary layer problems. It explains the
fundamental ideas through physical insight, model problems, and
computational experiments and gives details of the linear solvers
used in the computations so that readers can implement the methods
and reproduce the numerical results.

From river to harbor to ocean, tugboats are among the most
ubiquitous but underappreciated craft afloat. Whether maneuvering
ships out from between tight harbor finger piers, pushing rafts of
forty barges up the Mississippi, towing enormous oil rigs, or just
delivering huge piles of gravel to a river port near you, tugs
exude a sense of genial strength guided by the wise experience of
their crews. We can admire the precision of their coordination, the
determination in their movements, the glow of signal lights at
night, silently communicating their condition and intentions to
vessels nearby. It is nearly impossible not to be intrigued and
impressed by the way tugs work. In Tugboats Illustrated, Paul
Farrell traces the evolution, design, and role of tugboats, ranging
from the first steam-powered tug to today's hyper-specialized
offshore workboats. Through extensive photographs, dynamic
drawings, and enlightening diagrams, he explores the development of
these hard-working boats, always shaped by the demands of their
waterborne environment, by an ever-present element of danger, and
by advancements in technology. Whether making impossible turns in
small spaces, crashing through huge swells, pushing or pulling or
prodding or coaxing or escorting, we come to understand not only
what tugs do, but how physics and engineering allow them to do it.
From the deck layout of a nineteenth-century sidewheel tug to the
mechanics of barge towing-whether by humans, mules, steam or diesel
engines-to the advantages of various types and configurations of
propulsion systems, to the operation of an oil rig anchor-handling
tug/supply vessel, Tugboats Illustrated is a comprehensive tribute
to these beloved workhorses of the sea and their intrepid crews.
Finnlay, Rudi and Harrison are three ordinary boys, living in a
farmhouse with their parents and grandparents. When they encounter
a soul imprisoned in stone by the witch who lives in the woods,
their lives abruptly become far more interesting, and far more
dangerous. If they can defeat the witch and her protectors, the
stone will become human again. But the threat may be greater than
they know, and only their bond as brothers can save them.
