Ewan Macrae is gay. At the turn of the 1980s, being queer in a Cornish seaside town seems impossible.The teenage world he lives in is obsessed with girls, jobs and surfing, yet the handsome Leslie - his ripped surfing buddy - preoccupies Ewan's thoughts.Unsure if his parents will ever accept his sexuality, Ewan knows that in his claustrophobic hometown he'll never fully be himself. Perhaps in a bustling and far-away city like London there is a whole new world waiting......

He was a persecutor of Christians who became Christianity’s greatest missionary. He was beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, and left for dead; yet he never stopped proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ. Who was the Apostle Paul, and what can his extraordinary life teach us about faith, resilience, and the transforming power of the Atonement? After spending more than four decades as a university professor and scholar, David A. Rees, PhD, brings Paul’s world to vivid life, pulling from the book ...

The Milkman's on His Way was first published in 1982 and is one of the first queer young adult novels to appear in the UK. It tells the story of Ewan McCrae, a gay teenager living in Cornwall, struggling to come to terms with his sexuality. To explore his identity, Ewan leaves his claustrophobic home town for London, where he hopes to find people who are just like him. For many gay teenagers of the early 1980s The Milkman's on His Way was a rare chance to read a life-affirming story that p...

This book brings together, in sixteen chapters, those elements of the mechanics of plasticity most pertinent to engineers. A textbook style has been adopted in which worked examples and exercises illustrate the application of the theoretical material. The latter is provided with appropriate references to journals and other published sources. An appendix contains worked examples to selected exercises.The presentation of the introductory material, the theoretical developments and the...

ROUTE TO OMEGA is the account of a spiritual, not a religious, journey, realistic rather than pious, a word the writer considers more harmful than helpful. It begins from the honest premise that most of us remain, to some degree, a mystery even to ourselves.There is humour here, with light and shade, alongside a candid reckoning with what it means to come to terms with oneself, however late in life that reckoning arrives. David Rees finds people's demand for happiness disconcerting...

This book examines the issues across the breadth of elasticity theory. Firstly, the underpinning mathematics of vectors and matrices is covered. Thereafter, the equivalence between the inidicial, symbolic and matrix notations used for tensors is illustrated in the preparation for specific types of material behaviour to be expressed, usually as a response function from which a constitutive stress-strain relation follow.Mechanics of Elastic Solids shows that the elastic response of solid mat...

Engineering structures considered include bars, columns, struts, tubes, vessels, beams, springs and frames. The loadings imposed upon them are, typically, tension, compression and shear, bending, torsion and pressure, separately and in combination. The mechanics of such structures examine the manner in which they each bear their respective loading in a safe predictable way. This aids design considerations upon choice of material and its physical shape when seeking, say, a safe design with ...

Inspector Price

In the misty valleys of South Wales, a man collapses on Aber's busy streets with a fatal wound, his final moments shrouded in dawn's eerie haze. Enter Inspector Price: a steadfast detective blending unyielding grit with profound compassion, navigating a world where toughness and kindness are the keys to survival.What begins as a suspected mugging near a shadowy cemetery spirals into chilling intrigue. Forensics uncover a premeditated strike, and a faded vintage photo awakens long-b...

This handbook covers a number of the more recent developments regarding the mechanics of deforming solids. In recent years, much progress has been reported in the wide-ranging mechanical behaviour of solids under stress. Here the term stress in a solid arises from a number of external actions including direct tension, compression, pressure, bending, shear and torsion. Many of the topics covered are yet to find their way into the standard texts, which are often restricted to isotropic elast...

The fifteen chapters of this book are arranged in a logical progression. The text begins with the more fundamental material on stress and strain transformations with elasticity theory for plane and axially symmetric bodies, followed by a full treatment of the theories of bending and torsion. Coverage of moment distribution, shear flow, struts and energy methods precede a chapter on finite elements. Thereafter, the book presents yield and strength criteria, plasticity, collapse, creep, visc...

A pocket reference that allows the non-specialist to identify major insect and arachnid pests found in stored cereal grains, grain products and grain legumes. It describes most storage pests found worldwide and provides concise information on the biology, distribution, damage and economic importance of each species. Each entry contains at least one colour photograph. The notes for each species tell the nature of the pest or beneficial and the commodity affected; temperature and humidity condi...
