High-Speed Monohull and Hydrofoil Craft
High Speed Monohull and Hydrofoil Craft: Performance, Technology, and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the basic hydrodynamics of high-speed monohulls and hydrofoil craft useful to students and engineers alike. The first half of the book introduces different hull shapes for semi-planing and planing craft with examples from their development through the last century. Succeeding chapters then describe the hydrodynamic theory behind their performance in calm water and a seaway. They also document the extensive series of model test programs naval architects use to create prediction models for resistance and powering. Electronic versions of a number of these are included for readers' use. A final chapter on monohulls looks at hull geometric form that has been developed to provide the best possible combination of resistance in waves and motion response through a combination of a deep and sharp forefoot and a hard chine cross-section towards the stern for patrol vessels and offshore logistics craft. The book's second half introduces the various geometries and planform configurations of hydrofoils under a fast craft hull. It reviews the development of these craft for inland waterways, such as major river systems, and the rougher environment of seaways, such as the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. It is followed by hydrofoil theory in an ideal fluid close to a free surface. Then the theory for a real fluid includes the vorticity and effect of planform, dihedral, and surface interaction. Hydrofoil craft design and analysis are covered next. Finally, there is a chapter on special configurations, such as craft having foils just at the bow and hydrofoil craft based on catamaran hulls.

Orpheus Builds a Girl
A hotly-anticipated modern Gothic horror story of sexual obsession, medical abuse, and coercion masquerading as love, for fans of Carmen Maria Machado and Eliza Clark "A chilling exploration of power, love and grief, written with incredible precision by a major talent" -- Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea Based on a gruesome true story, this is a compelling, horrifying, and heartbreaking debut novel of sisterly love, sinister obsession, and the battle to control--and challenge--a perpetrator's twisted version of events. Wilhelm von Tore is dying. As he looks back on his life he reflects on his youth in Dresden, his grandmother and his medical career during WWII. But mostly, he remembers his darling Luci, the dark-haired beauty promised to him years before they met. Though only together for a few months in her first life, Wilhelm knows their love is written in the stars. And he ensures that death is only the beginning. But through the cracks in Wilhelm's story there is another voice-that of Gabriela, and she will not let this version of events go unchallenged. She tells instead the story of her fearless sister Luciana and the madman who robbed her from her grave. Creepy yet intensely gripping, sinister yet shot through with mesmerizing beauty, this is the debut novel from Heather Parry, a rising literary star of the genre, longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize.
What Do I Know?
Stunning paperback edition of this fresh translation of Montaigne's most profound, searching essays, with an introduction from Yiyun Li, author of The Book of Goose This gift-worthy collection of 16 essays by "the father of the essay" is a short, accessible introduction to his work, offering a fascinating glimpse inside a great Renaissance mind "I myself am the subject of my book." So wrote Montaigne in the introductory note to his Essays, the book that marked the birth of the modern essay form. In works of probing intelligence and idiosyncratic observation, Montaigne moved from intimate personal observation to roving theories of the conduct of kings and cannibals, the effects of sorrow and fear, and the fallibility of human memory and judgement. This new selection of Montaigne's 16 most ingenious essays appears in a lucid new translation by the prize-winning David Coward. What Do I Know? gives the modern reader profound insight into a great Renaissance mind. What Do I Know? is divided into 3 sections and includes: MONTAIGNE ON MONTAIGNE On Sorrow, On how our Actions are to be judged by the Intention, On Idling, On Liars, That we should not be considered happy until we are dead ON THE PURSUIT OF REASON On Fear, To tell true from false, it is folly to rely on our own capacities, How we can cry and laugh at the same thing, On Solitude, On the Uncertainty of our Judgement, On Drunkenness ON GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNORS On Cannibals, On the Inequality that exists between us, On Sleep, On our lease of life, On Carriages
The Writers' Castle
A gripping new approach to the Nuremberg Trial, told through the stories of the many great writers who came to witness it "A riveting group portrait that puts these celebrity reporters in the spotlight... An engaging blend of gossipy anecdote and precise, thought-provoking analysis" -- Financial Times Nuremberg, 1945. As the trials of Nazi war criminals begin, some of the world's most famous writers and reporters gather in the ruined German city. Among them are Rebecca West, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Erika Mann and Janet Flanner. Crammed together in the press camp at Schloss Faber-Castell, where reporters sleep ten to a room and complain about the food and argue in the lively bar, they each try to find words for the unprecedented events they are witnessing. Here, tensions simmer between Soviet and Western journalists, unlikely affairs begin, stories are falsified and fabricated--and each reporter is forever changed by what they experience. As Uwe Neumahr builds an engrossing group portrait of the literary luminaries at Nuremberg, readers are taken to the heart of the political and cultural conflicts of the time--observing history at the very moment it was being written. Providing fascinating accounts of his subjects' experiences at Nuremberg, Neumahr shows how those experiences marked their future lives, as well as their approaches to writing. What emerges is both a multi-faceted depiction of the trials as a unique mass-media event, but also as a public reckoning with evil that had untold private reverberations for all who witnessed it.
Cathodic Protection of Marine Vessels
Protective coatings are the most efficient way to protect ship steel structures from corrosion. However, cathodic protection, often in conjunction with protective coatings, is also used to protect immersed parts of bare steel surfaces (including coating damaged areas) from corrosion. This includes the external hull surface and the internal surfaces of tanks, such as ballast tanks. Cathodic protection (CP) can be Impressed Current Cathodic Protection, Galvanic Anode Cathodic Protection, or a combination of both. Cathodic protection controls corrosion by supplying direct current to the immersed surface of the structure, thus making the structure a cathode of a cell. The external hull of a ship is exposed to different waters with differing chemistries, which have a profound influence on the cathodic protection. This short text on Cathodic Protection of Marine Vessels was developed to provide guidelines for ship cathodic protection design, installation, and maintenance given it is a common practice for a ship to have cathodic protection systems installed during its new construction.
