The nation's favourite annual guide to the short story, now in its
seventh year. Best British Short Stories invites you to judge a
book by its cover - or more accurately, by its title. This
critically acclaimed series aims to reprint the best short stories
published in the previous calendar year by British writers, whether
based in the UK or elsewhere. The editor's brief is wide ranging,
covering anthologies, collections, magazines, newspapers and web
sites, looking for the best of the bunch to reprint all in one
volume. Featuring stories by Jay Barnett, Peter Bradshaw, Rosalind
Brown, Krishan Coupland, Claire Dean, Niven Govinden, Francoise
Harvey, Andrew Michael Hurley, Daisy Johnson, James Kelman, Giselle
Leeb, Courttia Newland, Vesna Main, Eliot North, Irenosen Okojie,

The present volume entitled "Perspectives in Turbulence Stud ies"
is dedicated to Dr. Ing. E. h. Julius C. Rotta in honour of his
75th birthday. J. C. Rotta, born on January 1, 1912, started his
outstanding career in an unusual way, namely in a drawing office
(1928 - 1931). At the same time he - as a purely self taught perso-
took a correspondence course in airplane construction. From 1934 to
1945 he worked in the aircraft industry on different subjects in
the fields of flight mechanics, structures, air craft design, and
aerodynamics. In 1945 he moved to Gottingen and worked from that
time at the Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt (AVA, now DFVLR) and the
Max-Planck-Institut fur Stromungsforschung (1947-1958), interrupted
only by a stay in the U. S. at the Glenn L. Martin Company (1954 -
1955) and a visiting professorship at the Laval University in
Quebec, Canada (1956). Already during his activities in industry,
Dr. Rotta discovered his special liking for aerodynamics. In
Gottingen, he was attracted by Ludwig Prandtl's discussions about
problems associated with turbulence and in particular his new
contribution to fully developed turbulence, published in 1945. At
that time, W. Heisenberg and C. F. v. Weizacker pub lished their
results on the energy spectra of isotropic turbu lence at large
wave numbers. Since that time his main research interest in
reasearch has been in turbulence problems."
From the reviews: "The book has a broad and general coverage of
both the mathematics and the numerical methods well suited for
graduate students." Applied Mechanics Reviews #1 "This is a very
well written book. The topics are developed with separate headings
making the matter easily understandable. Computer programs are also
included for many problems together with a separate chapter dealing
with the application of computer programs to heat transfer
problems. This enhances the utility of the book." Zentralblatt fur
Mathematik #1
'Like a pizza delivery driver who travels everywhere by moped, or a
volcanologist who keeps turning the central heating up, I'm a film
critic who loves going to the cinema.'
Peter Bradshaw is the film reviewer for intelligent, curious
cinemagoers; he has worked at the Guardian for twenty years. The Films
That Made Me collates his finest reviews from the last two decades,
which carry with them his deep experience, knowledge and understanding
of film.
Introducing each section with a brief introductory article in his
light, humorous tone, and ranging from The Cat in the Hat and the
Twilight Saga to Synecdoche: New York, Bradshaw shares the films that
he loved, the films that he hated, the films that made him laugh, cry,
swoon and scared.
Bradshaw's reviews range from the insightful and introspective to the
savage and funny. The Films That Made Me is a must read for all film
fanatics.
