The ever-increasing dependence of our lives and livelihoods on the correct functioning of computer software means that logic and program correctness are core elements of all good computer science degrees. This book presents both these topics in one self-contained text.

The focus of the book is on "correct-by-construction" program design -- the discipline of calculating programs from their specifications. Modern, calculational logic is introduced in combination with key program construction principles, such as the assignment axiom, loop invariants and bound functions. This material is intertwined with motivational discussion, programming examples and challenging problem-solving exercises, bringing the book alive for its intended audience, undergraduates in computer science and mathematics, as well as professional programmers wishing to further develop their programming skills.

The book covers the elements of logic and program correctness that form the foundations of further study --- the logical connectives and their algebraic properties, induction, quantifiers and program construction rules. Substantial examples of program construction are included. Many exercises are provided, all with detailed solutions.

The extraordinary new biography of one remarkable man who led a life ahead of his time. In 1904 Roger Casement became an overnight celebrity when he broadcast the abuses of the Belgian Congo and lobbied for change. Widely admired and even knighted for his humanitarian fervour, still he did not reveal all of himself. The internal fault lines ran deep: he was neither fully Irish nor English; baptised Catholic but raised Protestant; party to colonial rule yet appalled by its cruelties; and desperate for intimacy while tormented by his homosexuality. Plagued by poor mental health, these competing stresses would eventually overwhelm Casement - and he enters Germany during the First World War with a rash scheme to incite the Easter Rising. Later captured and declared a traitor by the British, his reputation in ruins after details of his sex life are leaked, Casement's life ends on the gallows and his body in an unmarked grave until, decades later, he is honoured with an Irish state funeral. Activist, patriot, lover, traitor, martyr: Roger Casement has been many things, to many people. Throughout all these myriad lives, Casement remained someone who struggled with his identity in a world that wilfully condemned difference. Broken Archangel brings the real - passionate, self-deceiving, altruistic, insecure, determined - Roger Casement to life for the first time.

Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).

Double bill of British dramas about football violence and hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored 30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence. Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright (Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall' (1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982. Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.
