Robert Fucilla and Billy Zane star in this low-budget British
special forces action thriller. Former SAS man turned mercenary
Andy Marlow (Fucilla) is sent into the Balkans to rescue an
American ambassador and his aide in the wake of a military coup.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book demonstrates scientific computing by presenting twelve
computational projects in several disciplines including Fluid
Mechanics, Thermal Science, Computer Aided Design, Signal
Processing and more. Each follows typical steps of scientific
computing, from physical and mathematical description, to numerical
formulation and programming and critical discussion of results. The
text teaches practical methods not usually available in basic
textbooks: numerical checking of accuracy, choice of boundary
conditions, effective solving of linear systems, comparison to
exact solutions and more. The final section of each project
contains the solutions to proposed exercises and guides the reader
in using the MATLAB scripts available online.
This book distinguishes itself from the many other textbooks on
the topic of linear algebra by including mathematical and
computational chapters along with examples and exercises with
Matlab. In recent years, the use of computers in many areas of
engineering and science has made it essential for students to get
training in numerical methods and computer programming. Here, the
authors use both Matlab and SciLab software as well as covering
core standard material. It is intended for libraries; scientists
and researchers; pharmaceutical industry.
Senegal, one of Africa's few civilian-ruled countries, provides
fascinating ground for examining the process of national
development. This volume addresses the interplay between economic
and political forces that have shaped, and continue to influence,
the destiny of this major African nation. The twelve essays,
contributed by scholars and development practitioners, are built
around two primary themes. First, external economic events
influence Senegal's domestic economic options which in turn affect
and are affected by its political structures. Second, the world
facing Senegal is particularly harsh for nurturing both national
unity and the development of stable political and economic
institutions. This interdisciplinary approach to development
provides a rapid yet in-depth look at the major economic and
political issues in Senegal.
The editors' comprehensive introduction, Structural Change in a
Difficult World, provides both the historical and the thematic
foundations for the essays that follow. Essays cover four main
topic areas: The Evolution of Economic Structures, The Evolution of
Political Structures, Adjustment in Agriculture, and Adjustment in
the City. Authors include former Senegalese officials; the
Senegalese, French, and U.S. university and research establishment;
and researchers at international donor agencies.
Sarah Kane was one of the landmark playwrights of 1990s Britain,
her influence being felt across UK and European theatre. This is
the first book to focus exclusively on Kane's unique approach to
mind and mental health. It offers an important re-evaluation of her
oeuvre, revealing the relationship between theatre and mind which
lies at the heart of her theatrical project. Drawing on performance
theory, psychoanalysis and neuroscience, this book argues that
Kane's innovations generate a 'dramaturgy of psychic life', which
re-shapes the encounter between stage and audience. It uses
previously unseen archival material and contemporary productions to
uncover the mechanics of this innovative theatre practice. Through
a radically open-ended approach to dramaturgy, Kane's works offer
urgent insights into mental suffering that take us beyond
traditional discourses of empathy and mental health and into a
profound rethinking of theatre as a mode of thought. As such, her
theatre can help us to understand debates about mental suffering
today.
In-depth examination of the inherent tensions and dynamics of
transport corridors in Africa: between short-term optics and
long-term durability; between regional integration and national
interest; between the facilitation of trade and the generation of
corridor revenue. The image of the corridor, a central pathway of
road and rail carving its way through Africa's interior, has guided
the coordination of transport and trade developments on the
continent in recent decades. Existing analysis of the "Corridor" -
a label with a great capacity to change shape, guiding funding and
infrastructural priorities at different times and in different
settings - tends to be presentist, technical, and conveyed in the
language of transport economics. The chapters collected here
showcase a more varied approach, offering perspectives from
academics and policy-makers coming from a range of disciplinary
backgrounds. They capture the varied forms of the corridor concept
(developmental, transport, and trade corridors), the multiplicity
of actors (including China and the European Union), as well as the
different permutations of the infrastructure itself, in corridors
linking coastal states and in others that link coastal states with
the hinterland. The breadth of cases allows for a comparative
perspective of East, West, and Southern Africa, as well as the
basis of comparisons outside of the continent in Europe, South
Asia, and elsewhere. The motivations behind corridor initiatives in
Africa range enormously, from resource extraction to urban
development and poverty reduction. A lot depends on scale, and this
collection places the grand designs thrashed out at continental and
regional economic forums alongside the individual concerns of
drivers and cross-border traders hauling goods across the
continent's checkpoints. What emerges are a number of central
tensions in the study of transport corridors: between short-term
optics and long-term durability; between road and rail as modes of
transportation; between regional integration and national interest;
between the facilitation of trade and the generation of corridor
revenue; between different port configurations; and between local
dynamics and the dynamics of long-distance transportation. This

Steamed Breads: Ingredients, Processing, and Quality provides an
overview of all aspects of steamed bread and steamed bun
technology. A valuable resource for those interested in the
practical, technical, scientific, and historical aspects of the
subject. Topics that are covered include classification of the
different types of steamed bread, flour quality requirements,
ingredients, traditional and modern production methods, bread
faults and solutions, storage, food safety, nutrition, and future
trends. Steamed bread and filled steamed buns or mantou are the
staple food in the wheat growing areas of China. Around 50% of all
flour consumed in China is used to produce steamed breads. They
have recently spread to other Asian countries and are now eaten
around the world. The current state of relevant research knowledge
about steamed bread in Asia and throughout the world is described.
The first comprehensive reference on the topic, Steamed Breads
provides a complete overview of this important wheat-based Asian
food of value to cereal scientists and researchers, wheat marketers
and breeders, and Asian food and steamed bread manufacturers.
