Unshackled Destiny: The Wolves of Trisidian -- Prequel to the Trilogy

By: Adrian Robbe

Unshackled Destiny is the Prequel to The Wolves of Trisidian Trilogy book series. It portrays the same characters and themes described in this epic medieval fantasy, but at a younger age. The tale begins with remarkable events in the life of Geoffrey Talbot when he was a small peasant lad living in the tiny Village of Medina. Cast into a world terrorized by the evil Lord Draegan Randall of Trisidian, Geoffrey's small, defenseless village is rampaged by Randall's Army of Dark Riders and Black War Wolves. As a result of their vicious attack upon the citizens of Medina, Geoffrey's family life and the world as he knows it is turned upside down. Geoffrey experiences the dire tragedy of becoming an orphan, being kidnapped as a slave, and crossing the threshold of unfamiliar surroundings into the Dark Kingdom of Trisidian. Unshackled Destiny is a stirring drama of test and trial, faith and hope, and the resulting growth and transformation of a young lad who perseveres against impossible odds.

Techniques of the Film Masters

By: Adrian Robbe

If student filmmakers want to learn how to direct great films, then they should study great film directors. Studying a director close-up will encourage and motivate students of film and provide a role model for them to follow as they continue to mature their own creative artistic elements in filmmaking. In learning about a film director, it is important to analyze their personality, vision of cinema, directing style, creative artistic elements in film, as well as any other aspect of motion picture production that communicates their talents. With the goal of serving as a source of encouragement and valuable reference for beginning as well as seasoned film directors, "Techniques of the Film Masters" was written with that aim in mind.

The Curse of Ulrik: The Wolves of Trisidian -- Part Two of the Trilogy

By: Adrian Robbe

The stakes are raised in this dramatic, medieval tale as the spell of the deathless Curse of Ulrik hovers over the region in the troubled, mystical Land of Jandor. Castle Trisidian's supernatural host of demonic, bloodthirsty Black War Wolves continues to roam, terrorize, and inflict death upon the innocent citizens of Jandor. Like troops of ghosts driven by the darkest wind, the Black Wolves of Trisidian creep their way through the villages from cottage to cottage, striking at Jandor's citizens like an army of vipers from the Underworld. Harboring the weak cry of unassisted woe, the heart of Jandor's people has become faint like the falling dew. Sir Geoffrey Talbot, Knight of Stonehaven, makes a pledge to put an end to these wicked creatures and their bloodthirsty attacks upon his people. Will Geoffrey's life and the people of his homeland ever be filled with peace and hope for the future, or will Ulrik's Curse of the Black Wolves of Trisidian destroy them all?

The Wolves of Trisidian

By: Adrian Robbe

Gripped by the tyranny of an evil warlord and his army of supernatural, bloodthirsty wolves, the citizens of Jandor only understand poverty, devastation, and hopelessness. From their humble ranks comes a young man whose devotion to his people overcomes any base desires of self-preference or self-aggrandizement. Shackled by adversity and the victim of ruthless, unfettered power, young Geoffrey Talbot rejects the natural instinct to remain in never-ending sorrow. Treasuring the gift of life, he chooses to rise from his torturous condition by pursuing noble and heroic efforts to save his fellow countrymen from the ravages of evil. Will extraordinary tragedy and grievous pain transform this humble waif into a national hero destined to usher in an elusive peace long sought after by the people he sacrificed all to save... or will death claim them all?

Design with Constructal Theory

Design with Constructal Theory

By: Adrian Bejan,Sylvie Lorente

Design course on the universal principle of configurations in nature and engineering-the constructal law Design with Constructal Theory offers a revolutionary new approach based on physics for understanding and predicting the designs that arise in nature and engineering, from the tree and the forest to the cooling of electronics, urban design, decontamination, and vascular smart materials. This book shows how you can use the method of constructal theory to design human-made systems in order to reduce trial and error and increase the system performance. First developed in the late 1990s, constructal theory holds that flow architecture arises from the natural evolutionary tendency to generate greater flow access in time and in flow configurations that are free to morph. It unites flow systems with solid mechanical structures, which are viewed as systems for the flow of stresses. Constructal theory unites nature with engineering, and helps us generate novel designs across the board, from high-density packages to vascular materials with new functionalities (self-healing, self-cooling), and from tree-shaped heat exchangers to svelte fluid-flow and solid structures. Design with Constructal Theory starts with basic principles and then shows how these principles are applied to understanding and designing increasingly complex systems. Problems and exercises at the end of each chapter give you an opportunity to use constructal theory to solve actual design problems. This book is based on a design course developed by the two authors for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students at Duke University and other universities all over the world. With the authors' expert guidance, students and professionals in mechanical, civil, environmental, chemical, aerospace, and biomedical engineering will understand natural systems, and then practice design as science, by relying on constructal strategies to pursue and discover novel and effective designs.
