Mechanical Engineering, an engineering discipline borne of the needs of the in­ dustrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound issues of pro­ ductivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduate texts and research mono­ graphs intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of me­ chanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and re­ search. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consulting editors on the advisory board, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consulting editors are listed on the next page of this volume. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational mechanics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, processing, ther­ mal science, and tribology. I am pleased to present this volume in the Series: Modern Inertial Technology: Navigation, Guidance, and Control, Second Edition, by Anthony Lawrence. The selection of this volume underscores again the interest of the Mechanical Engi­ neering series to provide our readers with topical monographs as well as graduate texts in a wide variety of fields.

When Tomorrow Comes, the second work in a series on survival in the urban ghetto,introduces naive teenager, Douglas, forced to adjust to his ever-changing environment. The mean streets are hostile and Douglas must make choices. "When Tomorrow Comes" describes how only spiritual values and family commitment save Douglas from the onslaught of hostile urban challenges.

'Lawrence's poems are skilfully made artefacts and intensely experiential...[His] characteristic attraction to intensity pays off in a newly austere lyricism.' ("The Age", Melbourne). Anthony Lawrence is one of Australia's most highly-regarded poets and winner of two of the country's most prestigious poetry prizes. He characteristically sets his poems within powerful landscapes and seascapes. There is a dramatic confrontation in them, between the elemental forces of nature, and those within the consciousness of his characters. His focus is on relationships, the rhythms of work, and the presence of danger in these primal settings. In an interview, Lawrence says of his work: "I'd like to think that [...] my poems achieve this tricky balance: landscape veined with humanity, flora, fauna, what's imagined and what's experienced [...] I write about nature to define my life." "Strategies for Confronting Fear", a selection from his seven most recent poetry collections plus a substantial body of new work, is Lawrence's first volume of poetry to be published in the UK. 'Lawrence has crept up on the audience for Australian poetry.He is now one of the most assured and challenging of our poets. This volume ["The Sleep of a Learning Man"] is a testament to craft skills at the service of a relentless self-questioning.' ("Australian Book Review").
