THE Tale of Thomas Thixendale

THE Tale of Thomas Thixendale

Mavis Brown; Ian Durrant

Lulu.com

nidottu
It is 1492. Twelve-year-old Thomas Thixendale's parents had abandoned him shortly after the death of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Thomas has memories of being in great danger and a strong feeling that he was not born to serfdom. Baron Hilton, the cruel Lord of the Manor, returned to Wharram Percy after the Civil War and now has a fiendish scheme to be rid of his peasant tenants. Tom is determined to thwart him as all is not what it seems. He travels to York with the parish priest, Father Michael, to enlist the help of Sir George Percy, second cousin to the powerful 5th Earl of Northumberland. 'The Tale of Thomas Thixendale' is a light hearted historical story which is based upon real characters and events during Henry VII's reign. It is set in the medieval village of Wharram Percy, in the Yorkshire Wolds of England, which was abandoned by 1506 due to the introduction of sheep farming. Black and white illustrations. A glossary includes medieval words and Yorkshire dialect.

Integration, Coordination and Control of Multi-Sensor Robot Systems

Integration, Coordination and Control of Multi-Sensor Robot Systems

Hugh F. Durrant-Whyte

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2011
nidottu
Overview Recent years have seen an increasing interest in the development of multi-sensory robot systems. The reason for this interest stems from a realization that there are fundamental limitations on the reconstruction of environment descriptions using only a single source of sensor information. If robot systems are ever to achieve a degree of intelligence and autonomy, they must be capable of using many different sources of sensory information in an active and dynamic manner. The observations made by the different sensors of a multi-sensor system are always uncertain, usually partial, occasionally spuri9us or incorrect and often geographically or geometrically imcomparable with other sensor views. The sensors of these systems are characterized by the diversity of information that they can provide and by the complexity of their operation. It is the goal of a multi­ sensor system to combine information from all these different sources into a robust and consistent description of the environment.

The Siren and the Sage

The Siren and the Sage

Steven Shankman; Stephen Durrant

Wipf Stock Publishers
2003
pokkari
The cultures of ancient China and ancient Greece have exerted immeasurable influence on later civilizations. The texts and cultural values of classical China spread throughout East Asia and became the foundation of learning in Korea, Japan and Vietnam. Greek learning and culture receive credit for many of the intellectual paradigms of the West. Probably the one which is most distinctly Western is the tradition of logical proof and the related assumption that, as Aristotle put it in 'Metaphysics' 980, 'we all desire to know.' In contrast, the Chinese tradition, as exemplified by Laozi's 'Dao de jing, ' cautions that through our desire to know we may forfeit wisdom, thus engendering a split between knowledge and wisdom. 'The Siren and the Sage' is a comparative study of what some of the most influential writers of ancient China and ancient Greece thought it meant to know and whether they distinguished knowledge from wisdom. It surveys selected works of poetry, history and philosophy from roughly the eighth through the second centuries BCE, focusing on the 'Odyssey, ' the ancient Chinese 'Classic of Poetry, ' Thucydides' 'History of the Peloponnesian War, ' Sima Qian's 'Records of the Historian, ' Plato's 'Symposium, ' Laozi's 'Dao de jing' and the writings of Zhuangzi. The intention, through such juxtaposition, is to introduce foundational texts of each tradition, texts which continue to influence most of the world's peoples. It is intriguing to ask what awareness, if any, these distinctive cultures had of each other. A considerable body of scholarship comparing ancient Greece and ancient China now exists. Scholars are presenting evidence that the two cultures may actually have been aware of each other's presence, even though that awareness was presumably indirect, perhaps mediated by the nomadic peoples of Central Asia. While not directly contributing evidence, the authors argue that comparing the cultures of Greece and China will continue to be an irresistible and important scholarly debate. The book offers a provocative study which is accessible to students and general readers and at the same time contributes to the debate.

Winner of the Student Vote, UKLA Book Award 2017Winner of the Warwickshire Schools Book Award 2017Shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2017Nominated for the 2017 CILIP Carnegie MedalI've put this story together from the diaries I kept when Zac and I were children. I wrote them because I felt we were almost invisible and I wanted to make sure our story was told, and also in the hope that life would get better for the small unloved girl that was me, and my even smaller unloved brother. And if life didn't get better or at least more interesting I was going to make it up - to put in witches and castles and rides in fast cars. But I didn't need to. Life got exciting all by itself...It's 1987 and Ira and Zac are being uprooted once again, this time to Skilly House, a home for social care children. Their lives over the next few years are beautifully realised amongst the antipathy of the authorities, the drama of the poll tax riots and the moments of peace and hope Ira finds at Skilly and further afield. This is a memorable and moving tale about growing up, making friends and finding a home.Featuring a brand new short story, 'Glenda'."This remarkable debut novel reads as if written by an experienced children's author at the height of her powers. The story of looked-after siblings of 9 and 11, it is reminiscent of Jacqueline Wilson in its subject and Sharon Creech in its style and generosity of spirit. Instantly engaging, and sustaining emotional involvement throughout... this is an uplifting and convincing evocation of time and place, of two vivid young lives, and of the hope that kindness can offer. It is a gentle story, although sad things happen (expect tears), and it tells us clearly how the feelings of adults and children can be complicated." - The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week"...a beautiful book... the characters are brilliantly drawn. SE Durrant writes both economically and subtly as she tells the story of the children and the mysterious Glenda. In spite of its lyrical quality, realism permeates the book and the ending, whilst optimistic, is entirely believable. I can offer no higher compliment than that this is worthy of Elizabeth Laird at her very best." - The Scotsman"Set against the backdrop of the 1990 poll tax strikes and written in diary-like entries, this is a personal and heartfelt tale of growing up as a child in care. It's wonderfully honest and does not shy away from the heartache of loss and longing. What makes it even more special is how Durrant keeps it realistic but maintains a sense of hope and optimism. A must-read but have a box of tissues at the ready." - BookTrust"Little Bits of Sky is a truly, truly, truly lovely story. It's rather difficult to credit it as a debut novel because it is completely comfortable in its own skin from the first page to the last. It doesn t try too hard. It doesn't proselytise. It s just there, feeling deeply authentic and real ... Uplifting and heartwarming without ever being twee, this debut will find a place in the heart of readers of any age. It deserves to do well. I hope it does." - The Bookbag"...this is a rare book that is perfect for young readers who want a proper story, real characters and situations without being harrowed and where there is the warmth of optimism. This is the author's debut and to be highly commended: a new voice to welcome." - Books for KeepsAlso by S. E. Durrant: Runnng on EmptyTalking to the Moon

It is beautifully written and thought provoking. A really special book." - North Somerset Teachers' Book Award"AJ's situation is described with powerful realism, and yet with the very lightest of touches. He is essentially a young carer, whose parents have learning difficulties, but there is never a sniff of a stereotype or call for pity. Durrant makes important points about avoiding assumptions with huge subtlety, sensitivity and humour. Convincing, uplifting and immensely readable." - BookTrust
