The stories in this selection, taken from William Peskett's four collections, Mango and Sticky Rice, Mist on the Jungle, Sweet Song of the Siren and The Day of the Tiger, cover the different ways in which people look at how the world works, for example in the clash between a scientific approach and a traditionalist Buddhist mode of thought. And some deal with the impossible yearnings that can motivate or destroy a person. Sometimes these may be shallow-a lust for drink, for money or for sex-and the characters absurdly comic, self-destructive or psychopathic. Sometimes the yearning may be for...

An anthology of six stories, which will take you down a road of fear, excitement, confusion or suspense, each one ending with a twist. Will you guess the endings before you read them? One of my early readers kindly compared these stories to those of Edgar Allan Poe. As you can imagine, I was humbled by his words. The six stories: The House - newly weds take off on a trip, but stumble into an adventure of a different (or sexier) kind The Car Ride - a late-night drive in the rain turns to confusion and terror (or fear) for three friends The Camping Trip - a couple of hikers discover there's no...

Certains recits dans ce recueil analysent les differents regards que les gens jettent sur le monde, par exemple celui d'un scientifique oppose a celui d'un bouddhiste traditionnel. D'autres examinent les aspirations chimeriques qui peuvent motiver ou detruire une personne. Parfois ces espoirs sont frivoles - boisson, argent, sexe - et les personnages sont comiques, psychopathes ou autodestructeurs jusqu'a l'absurde. Parfois ces ideaux sont gaches par d'autres. Parfois la poursuite d'un reve devient tragique. Et parfois ces attentes deviennent lyriques, se remplissent de beaute, meme si elles...

An Introduction to Surface-Micromachining provides for the first time a unified view of surface-micromachining. Building up from the basic building block of microfabrication techniques, to the general surface-micromachining design, it will finish with the theory and design of concrete components. An Introduction to Surface-Micromachining connects the manufacturing process, microscale phenomena, and design data to physical form and function.
This book will be of interest to mechanical engineers looking to scale down into micromachining and microelectronics...

When 12 year old Julius McCoy is told that he has been selected to join the elite Zed Lunar Academy, he is over the moon...literally. It promises to be a year of neck-breaking races in The Hologram Palace, spaceship-pilot training and of course, developing his own very special mind-skills.

Yet even as he begins to get a grip on his fantastic abilities, strange things start to happen around him. Who are the three mysterious men hanging about in Satras, the moon capital - particularly their sinister leader in the red cap, who seems to know a lot more than he should about Julius?

Fourteen year old Julius McCoy is about to start his third year at the Zed Lunar Academy.

He's in for a major surprise too, as Earth's old enemies, the Arneshians, make a sudden reappearance, this time carrying a banner of peace and reconciliation.

But there's an even bigger shock in store for him, with a startling revelation much closer to home.

Defeated by the technological superiority of the Arneshians, the Zed Academy is left to deal with a desolate planet Earth. In spite of their fears, they must abandon the safety of the Lunar Perimeter and venture out into the furthest reaches of space, in the biggest rescue mission ever attempted by mankind.

Julius McCoy is desperate to find his own family and bring them back home, but the Curia, it seems, has other plans for him. If he refuses, he risks jeopardising Zed's one great hope of peace, and a possible victory over the Arneshians. But, if he accepts, he will lose...

This story is about a young man who, through no choice of his own, found himself hitchhiking. This is his story and the adventures he had along the way. It might not be quite what you expect

This book describes the full range of techniques and applications used in mass spectrometry. Researchers in universities and industry laboratories use this versatile technique because of its ability to identify a minute amount of material quickly. The technique solves analytical problems in a huge variety of fields. The authors adopt an instructional approach and make use of recent examples to illustrate important points. This second edition includes new methods and applications that have developed in the past ten years. The authors discuss powerful methods combining mass spectrometry with...
