Emblematic Monsters

Unnatural Conceptions and Deformed Births in Early Modern Europe

By: A.W. Bates

In early modern Europe, monstrous births were significant events that were seen alive by many people, and dissected, embalmed and collected after death. Emblematic Monsters is a social history of monstrous births as seen through popular print, scholarly books and the proceedings of learned societies. Representations of monsters are considered in the context of their roles as wonders and emblems, and studies of the anatomy of monsters are discussed along with contemporary theories of their origin. By approaching accounts of monstrous births not only as a literary form but also as descriptions of real-life cases, similarities between the pre-scientific recording of wonders and the scientific case report can be explored. Most impressively, A.W. Bates draws upon his own experience of diagnosis of birth defects to summarise more than two hundred original descriptions of monstrous births and compare them with modern diagnostic categories. Emblematic Monsters is an up-to-date approach to a classical yet under-explored subject: gruesome, compelling and monstrous.

The Gernsback Days

A Study of the Evolution of Modern Science Fiction from 1911 to 1936

By: Mike Ashley,Michael Ashley,Robert A. W. Lowndes

In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in Hugo Gernsback, and the start of a serious study of the contribution he made to the development of science fiction. . . . It seemed to me that the time was due to reinvestigate the Gernsback era and dig into the facts surrounding the origins of Amazing Stories. I wanted to find out exactly why Hugo Gernsback had launched the magazine, what he was trying to achieve, and to consider what effects he had-good and bad. . . . Too many writers and editors from the Gernsback days have been unjustly neglected, or unfairly criticized. Now, I hope, Robert A. W. Lowndes and I have provided the grounds for a fair consideration of their efforts, and a true reconstruction of the development of science fiction. It's the closest to time travel you'll ever get. I hope you enjoy the trip."-Mike Ashley, Preface

Parole at Camp Summerset

By: A. W. Touchette

I was born and raised in Chatham (Cape Cod) Massachusetts. I am the youngest of fi ve children. I graduated from Chatham High School. I was married in 1985, currently living in Provo, Utah with my husband, Edmond. I worked with trouble teens and loved every minute of it. There were always challenges. I love reaching out to teenagers and giving trouble teens a little tender, loving, and care which goes a long way. Listening to them when they needed someone, trying to understand them in a way that other people could not understand where they were coming from. When I was a teenager, I use to hang around downtown. My friends and I skipped school along with breaking some laws over and over, until an extraordinary man saw something special about me and took me off the streets; put me to work at his store. He taught me about life in general, like keeping promises, lying, stealing and taking school seriously. Teaching me that there are consequences in the decisions and actions that I take, also teaching me there are challenges in life, the worst thing I could do is to cop out and run from my problems. I am very glad I had a mentor like him, he changed my life. I feel lucky because I have two mentors; the second was the assistance manager of that very same store. He also taught me a lot and used to read the bible which made me more motivated in reading the bible in my teens and I never stop reading the bible. My family supported everything in my life. Thank you to everybody that helped me changed, teaching me not to give up my dreams and be successful in life.

Environmental and Hydrological Systems Modelling

By: A W Jayawardena

Mathematical modelling has become an indispensable tool for engineers, scientists, planners, decision makers and many other professionals to make predictions of future scenarios as well as real impending events. As the modelling approach and the model to be used are problem specific, no single model or approach can be used to solve all problems, and there are constraints in each situation. Modellers therefore need to have a choice when confronted with constraints such as lack of sufficient data, resources, expertise and time. Environmental and Hydrological Systems Modelling provides the tools needed by presenting different approaches to modelling the water environment over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Their applications are shown with a series of case studies, taken mainly from the Asia-Pacific Region. Coverage includes: Population dynamics Reaction kinetics Water quality systems Longitudinal dispersion Time series analysis and forecasting Artificial neural networks Fractals and chaos Dynamical systems Support vector machines Fuzzy logic systems Genetic algorithms and genetic programming This book will be of great value to advanced students, professionals, academics and researchers working in the water environment.
