This book offers an elementary, self-contained approach to the mathematical theory of viscous, incompressible fluid in a domain of the Euclidian space, described by the equations of Navier-Stokes. It is the first to provide a systematic treatment of the subject. It is designed for students familiar with basic tools in Hilbert and Banach spaces, but fundamental properties of, for example, Sobolev spaces, are collected in the first two chapters.

One spring morning a quiet, shy man in his sixties sets out from Land's End to walk the length of his native land. He has never walked more than a dozen miles in his life before, his health is uncertain, his boots are new, and he is too diffident to talk to anyone he meets along the way.

His slow, solitary progress up the spine of Britain is watched by an unseen audience - his family and friends at home. How far will he get before he is forced to give up? Is he being heroic or merely selfish?

Hood paints the two, irresistibly, as bombastic old sticks, but the play's real strength is its exploration of relationships, showing how Flamsteed's wife and maid navigate male ego-infested waters." Independent

The Astronomer's Garden was premiered at the Croydon Warehouse in 1988 and subsequently revived...

In Eleven Vests, one person is involved in two events; one at school, another as a soldier in the army. Although separated by years, the incidents bear an uncanny resemblance to each other.

Tuesday: a young girl sits alone in her bedroom studying when her soldier boyfriend returns unexpectedly from active service. In the action that follows she is confronted with a conflict of love and loyalty between him and her...
