Lighting Up the Night is a heart-warming tale about a group of woodland animals who want to hold a party. However there is a problem, they have no light in the darkness of night. Determined, they embark on a journey to find help. On their travels they meet many creatures but the ones that help are the least likely of all. Lighting up the Night holds a very meaningful message; you should never judge by appearances. Sometimes the most insignificant or seemingly unable, can do the best of things! It also reinforces the importance of the natural world around us and teaches us to not overlook even the tiniest of insects and creatures. An enchanting story filled with magical illustrations by a most talented Ukrainian artist.
An experimental anti-terrorism program. A medical cover-up. A series of brutal murders in Scotland's capital. A police officer with a disturbing past. A young woman with an uncertain future. Two lives drawn together in a world tearing itself apart.
What do you do with a broken soldier? After being tortured and left for dead, a former sergeant in the SAS is sent to die in a retirement town on the east coast of Scotland. He accepts that it's only a matter of time before he puts an end to all the pain. Then he learns that the Scottish legal system has failed someone close to him, a woman who is also broken ...
What would you do if you were trapped in a hopeless situation and all you faced was despair and death? In 2003 the author was admitted to hospital with what transpired to be advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Over the next six months he was to lose two major organs, suffer a blood clot on the lung, a brain stem stroke and a 'do not resuscitate' order was placed on him. Shortly after this, treatment for the lymphoma was found to be totally ineffective. It was at this point, at less than half his normal bodyweight, the doctors deemed survival impossible. Twenty years after his recovery the author details the strategy he adopted - where he strove to function as a machine that denied the present and programmed the future.
Having been ill for over two years with what he thought was colitis, the author was admitted to hospital in February 2003. He was diagnosed with advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Despite a series of operations his condition steadily deteriorated. By August, he was less than half his normal body weight, had lost two major organs, had suffered a massive stroke, and was the subject of a 'do not resuscitate' order. Shortly after this, treatment for the lymphoma was found to be totally ineffective. At this point, at less than half his normal bodyweight, the doctors deemed survival impossible ...

Attention in Vision is an important work which aims to identify, address and solve some major problems and issues in the psychology of visual perception, attention and intentional control. The central aim is to investigate how people use their visual perception in the performance of tasks and to explore how the intentional control of action is achieved.Through an extensive review of the philosophy of psychology, the history of ideas and theories of intentional control, and an analysis of various tasks, a new theory is developed which argues that there is an important difference between report tasks and act tasks.The first section of the book introduces the issues of visual perception in a historical context and outlines van der Heijden's theory. The theory is developed in the second and third sections by analysing the findings from some of the main experimental paradigms of cognitive psychology and applying the theory to act tasks. Finally, the epilogue skilfully draws together the theory into an explanation of different historical and theoretical perspectives in psychology. This book will be invaluable to researchers and high-level undergraduates in the field of visual perception and attention.

When this title was originally published in 1981, the information processing approach to perception and memory was dominant in experimental psychology, and the research reported here had major implications for future development. After exploring the shortcomings of earlier work in this field, the author develops a new model which he shows to be capable of accounting for a variety of experimental data connected with human information processing, visual perception and attention.The central theme which is discussed is how we select relevant and discard irrelevant information. The basic assumption is that all incoming information is identified, that is, it reaches and activates the appropriate lexical entries. A piece of identified information is described as a unit consisting of three distinguishable codes: a visual code, a lexical or semantic code and a motor or action code. Identified information decays fast, so selective attention operates by selecting those units which have to be saved from this rapid decay. In a sense, therefore, the human information processor is described as struggling against forgetting.
Control Systems with Input and Output Constraints

A typical method of dealing with input and output constraints, especially for PID control, has been the empirical design and implementation of an intuitive solution to an individual plant and its constraints. Such ad hoc solutions perform surprisingly well but often remain in the form of isolated practical know-how without a more general scientific basis. Control Systems with Input and Output Constraints develops this empirical approach by demonstrating how particular answers to particular industrial design problems can be systematized to cope with a wide variety of simple and more complex situations. Each class of design problems is presented in five parts: industrial situation; problem statement; currently available control structures; benchmark simulation to obtain typical transient response and nonlinear stability analysis to relate structure to response. Links to optimal control and model predictive control are also explored. These steps help the reader to learn how to choose or adapt a control architecture and design or analyse it on a systematic basis. Features: associated website contains many ready-made examples and case studies using Matlab®/Simulink® to which extensive reference is made throughout the text facilitating understanding and saving time; exercises interspersed throughout each chapter that allow the student to confirm progress as he/she proceeds; logical five-step design procedure for each problem class moving from a particular industrial example to the informed choice of generic controller and the preparation of closed loop analysis. Control Systems with Input and Output Constraints will be of great benefit to advanced students of control looking to pursue a career in process and/or plant control or in applications-oriented research. The practical basis of the presentation, the systematic design procedure, therestraint on mathematical formalism and emphasis on implementability will also appeal to industrial control engineers.
Discusses the idea and practice of small enterprise development in Africa in a changing policy environment. Covers topics such as the impact of adjustment on small enterprise; financial policy reforms and assistance; and how to sustain government and NGO assistance.
