Francis lives in the same house he was born in, with his obese sister Candida, and their father who remains catatonic in a permanent vegetative state, the result of a car accident.Driven by his family's condition, Francis' life is exhausted by alcoholism and his obsession with Mary, a married woman, and his desire to euthanize his father.In a haze of cigarette smoke, unforgiving commentary and a perpetual moral dilemma, Francis first needs to convince his best friend, Father Jonathan, a Catholic priest, that his vision for the future of the lives around him, is the right one, and that the consequences of his solution are just.
Through variations that are by turns surprising, charming, horrifying and thought-provoking, The Tales of Cupid and Psyche explores each step of the classic fairy tale. Fifty-eight variations, vignettes, flashbacks, nested narratives, and philosophical riddles treat Apuleius' famous and beautiful fairytale with a profound playfulness and show how this ancient Greek fairytale still influences our ideas about love, sex, stories, family, and fate. Born in Glasgow, A.R. McHugh wrote a DPhil at University College, Oxford, and now lives in Sydney.
First Published in 1971.This book is mainly about Nottinghamshire, but not exclusively so as there is a great deal of similarity between the four wages districts (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and South Derbyshire) which make up the East Midlands. For a detailed consideration of the history of mining Trade unionism in the locality, reference should be made to a previous book ‘The Miners of Nottinghamshire 1914 to 1944’. The present volume contains an abbreviated account only.

The studies brought together in this volume were published over the last thirty years and are concerned, directly or indirectly, with the Portuguese presence in India between about 1500 and 1650. They have been arranged into four groups of which the first, 'The Portuguese in India', includes pieces on the changing character of the empire in India, Goa in the 17th century, the Portuguese India Company of 1628-33, smugglers, the great famine of the early 1630s and the ceremonial induction process for new viceroys. A second group focuses on the life, career and background of the count of Linhares, before, during and after his term as viceroy at Goa. The third group consists of studies on travel and communications between India and Portugal, both by sea and by land. The collection concludes with studies under the heading of 'historiography and problems of interpretation', on Charles Boxer as a biographer, and on Vasco da Gama's reputation for violence.

With the growth of modern computing power it has become possible to apply far more mathematics to real problems. This has led to the difficulty that many people who have been working in various jobs suddenly find themselves not understanding the modern processing which is being applied to their own professional field. It also means that the people presently being trained in these subjects need to understand a much wider range of mathe matics than in the past. It is to both of these groups that this book is addressed. The major objective is to present the reader with the basic mathematical understanding to follow the new developments in their own field. The mathematics in this book is based on the need to understand signal process ing. The modern work in this area is mathematically very sophisticated and our purpose is not to train professional mathematicians but to make far more of the literature accessible. Since this book is based on courses devised for Racal Geophysics there is clearly going to be a bias towards the applications in that area, as the title implies. It is also true that the bibliogra phy has been chosen in order to aid the reader in that field by pointing them in the direction of recent applications in geophysics.
