Going Forth

By: Clive Semmens

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

It's 2024, on a timeline that diverged from yours in the late 1970s. "Going Forth" is a sequel to "Pawns." In 1990, in "Pawns", Pete, Persie, and Merly were in their mid-twenties. They're now about sixty. Little Mikey is one of their grandchildren. Life is very different now almost everyone in the world is gone, but for Mikey (who is six), it's just how life is - until the family decides that as a matter of survival it has to undertake a huge expedition. Thousands of miles in a post-apocalyptic world... As usual, the "Genre" information is nonsense...

Birgom's Diary

Birgom's Diary

By: Clive Semmens

To Birgom's people, the Known World is bounded by treacherous ice to the North and South, by the endless ocean to the West, and by impenetrable jungles and merciless deserts in the East. Birgom leaves this world behind. Sometimes joyful, sometimes desperately sad, sometimes written in excruciating detail or forgotten for years, *Birgom's Diary* charts his long and eventful life in a world that's recognizably ours, yet very different. Maybe a few hundred years in the future, maybe a few thousand, I don’t know. Post-apocalyptic, but so far post- that the apocalypse is the subject of speculation or mythology, not history – on the rare occasions that it enters anyone’s consciousness at all. This is not a sci-fi world of high technology or space travel, but nor is it a world of primitive savages. But you’ll have to read it... In the back of the book there are some maps that Birgom drew of his travels. It's in the same world as my previous novel, *Exile*, with some of the same characters – Birgom is an important secondary character in *Exile*, and his diary is mentioned. The "Story Elements" below are oversimplified: while there's a lot of nautical setting, there's a lot of non-nautical setting too; and the time period is wrong.

The Angel Babies

Chapter.13.14.

By: Clive Alando Taylor

The Angel Babies is a story about a family—a family of angels from the Celestials to the Empyreans—that have forever been challenged by the trials of their unique relationship with one another, as much as their union in subjection to God, as we now begin to discover in chapters 13–14 that the Chamber of the Elect Few, who meet to discuss the fate of the world that is now being held ransom under the influences of Angelus E’Nocturnus, which has, in itself, called into question the fate of heaven and earth, brings us to the root of death and life, in revealing the future of a Messiah who is to come in order to restore and to maintain balance as a savior of the world.

Solid Mechanics

A Variational Approach, Augmented Edition

By: Clive L. Dym,Irving H. Shames

Solid Mechanics: A Variational Approach, Augmented Edition presents a lucid and thoroughly developed approach to solid mechanics for students engaged in the study of elastic structures not seen in other texts currently on the market. This work offers a clear and carefully prepared exposition of variational techniques as they are applied to solid mechanics. Unlike other books in this field, Dym and Shames treat all the necessary theory needed for the study of solid mechanics and include extensive applications. Of particular note is the variational approach used in developing consistent structural theories and in obtaining exact and approximate solutions for many problems. Based on both semester and year-long courses taught to undergraduate seniors and graduate students, this text is geared for programs in aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and in engineering science. The authors’ objective is two-fold: first, to introduce the student to the theory of structures (one- and two-dimensional) as developed from the three-dimensional theory of elasticity; and second, to introduce the student to the strength and utility of variational principles and methods, including briefly making the connection to finite element methods. A complete set of homework problems is included.

The Rising Sea

By: Clive Cussler,Graham Brown

Everywhere, waters are rising--and that's just the beginning of the world's peril unless the NUMA crew can beat the clock in this thrilling #1 New York Times-bestseller from the grand master of adventure. An alarming rise in the world's sea levels--much larger than could be accounted for by glacier melt--sends Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA scientific team rocketing around the globe in search of answers. What they find at the bottom of the East China Sea, however, is even worse than they imagined: a diabolical plan to upset the Pacific balance of power--and in the process displace as many as a billion people. A rare alloy unlike anything else on earth, a pair of five-hundred-year-old Japanese talismans, an assassin so violent even the Yakuza has disowned him, an audacious technological breakthrough that will become a very personal nightmare for Kurt Austin - from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, the NUMA team must risk everything to head off the coming catastrophe.

One Damned Island After Another: The Saga of the Seventh

By: Clive Howard,Joe Whitley

Clive Howard and Joe Whitley were both sergeants and served as correspondents for the Seventh Air Force during World War 2. The men of the Seventh were forced to fly the longest missions in any theater of war, entirely over water and, at first, without fighter escort. They fought at Midway, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Kwajalein, Eniwetok, Truk, Saipan, Palau, the Philippines, Iwo Jima, and finally Tokyo. One Damned Island After Another covers the history of this remarkable air force from the events at Pearl Harbor through to V-J Day, detailing events on every single island that the force landed on in between. This new 2019 edition of One Damned Island After Another includes annotations and original photographs from the Pacific campaigns.

The Navigator

By: Clive Cussler,Paul Kemprecos

Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Assignments Team search for an ancient Middle Eastern relic with secret ties to an American founding father in the #1 bestselling New York Times-bestselling series. Years ago, an invaluable Phoenician statue known as the Navigator was stolen from the Baghdad museum, and there are men who would do anything to get their hands on it. Their first victim is a crooked antiquities dealer, murdered in cold blood. Their second target a UN investigator, only survives thanks to the timely assistance of Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala. What’s so special about this statue? Austin wonders. The search for answers will take the NUMA team on an astonishing odyssey through time and space, one that encompasses no less than the lost treasures of King Solomon, a mysterious packet of documents personally encoded by Thomas Jefferson, and a top-secret scientific project that could change the world forever. And that’s before the surprises really begin. . . . Rich with all the hair-raising action and endless invention that have become Cussler’s hallmarks, The Navigator is the best yet from “Clive the Incredible”.

The Philosophy of Literary Translation

Dialogue, Movement, Ecology

By: Clive Scott

While reading transforms texts through memories, associations and re-imaginings, translation allows us to act out our reading experience, inscribe it in a new text, and engage in a dialogic and dynamic relationship with the original. In this highly original new study, Clive Scott reveals the existential and ecological values that literary translation can embody in its perceptual transformation of texts. The transfer of a text from one language into another is merely the platform from which translation launches its larger ambitions, including the existential expansion and re-situation of text towards new expressive futures and ways of inhabiting the world. Recasting language as a living organism and as part of humanity's ongoing duration, this study uncovers its tireless capacity to cross perceptual boundaries, to multiply relations between the human and the non-human and to engage with forms of language which evoke unfamiliar modes of psycho-perception and eco-modelling.

Translating Apollinaire

Translating Apollinaire

By: Clive Scott

Translating Apollinaire delves into Apollinaire’s poetry and poetics through the challenges and invitations it offers to the process of translation. Besides providing a new appraisal of Apollinaire, the most significant French poet of WWI, Translating Apollinaire aims to put the ordinary reader at the centre of the translational project. It proposes that translation’s primary task is to capture the responses of the reader to the poetic text, and to find ways of writing those responses into the act of translation. Every reader is invited to translate, and to translate with a creativity appropriate to the complexity of their own reading experiences. Throughout, Scott himself consistently uses the creative resource of photography, and more particularly photographic fragments, as a cross-media language used to help capture the activity of the reading consciousness.

Dumping and Subsidies:Law and Procedures Governing the Imposition of Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties in the European Community

By: Clive Stanbrook,Philip Bentley,Joseph Cunnane

This book, now in its third edition, is written for lawyers, trade associations and marketing managers. It is one of the first to deal with the new regulations on dumping and subsidies which were adopted to implement the European Union's obligations under the Uruguay Round's 1994 Anti-Dumping Code and the 1994 Subsidies and Countervailing Measures Code. It places the highly complex subject of dumping and subsidisation in its WTO and EU contexts before taking the reader through a legal and arithmetical analysis of the technicalities involved. The book has been completely revised and expanded since it was last published in 1983, and provides many more worked examples, and draws on the much enlarged case-law of the European Court of Justice to illustrate the discussion. With more than ten years additional experience since the last edition, the authors provide a stimulating analysis of the turning points in Community anti-dumping law: revocation of undertakings, non-cooperation, five year sunset reviews, screwdriver assembly, anti-absorption measures, newcomer reviews, and now, with the new regulations, currency conversions, detailed rules on sampling methods, de minimis rules on injury, procedural deadlines, consumer interests and a new approach to circumvention.

The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs

Devices, Tools and Flows

By: Clive Maxfield

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are devices that provide a fast, low-cost way for embedded system designers to customize products and deliver new versions with upgraded features, because they can handle very complicated functions, and be reconfigured an infinite number of times. In addition to introducing the various architectural features available in the latest generation of FPGAs, The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs also covers different design tools and flows.This book covers information ranging from schematic-driven entry, through traditional HDL/RTL-based simulation and logic synthesis, all the way up to the current state-of-the-art in pure C/C++ design capture and synthesis technology. Also discussed are specialist areas such as mixed hardward/software and DSP-based design flows, along with innovative new devices such as field programmable node arrays (FPNAs). Clive "Max" Maxfield is a bestselling author and engineer with a large following in the electronic design automation (EDA)and embedded systems industry. In this comprehensive book, he covers all the issues of interest to designers working with, or contemplating a move to, FPGAs in their product designs. While other books cover fragments of FPGA technology or applications this is the first to focus exclusively and comprehensively on FPGA use for embedded systems. - First book to focus exclusively and comprehensively on FPGA use in embedded designs - World-renowned best-selling author - Will help engineers get familiar and succeed with this new technology by providing much-needed advice on choosing the right FPGA for any design project

The Angel Babies Realm Vi

By: Clive Alando Taylor

In this latest installment of the Angel Babies, which is also the last book in the series, we have now come to see that the developing narrative that has also come full circle, in by doing so, allows the story of the Angel Babies to come toward a unique conclusion in tying up any loose ends that have unfolded in the previous books of this ongoing saga. As such, this story is set within the Angeldom of the Empyreans, somewhere highly interconnected above and within the earthly sphere that we see how allegiances and friendships and relationships and family are all tied up in love and courage and honor and duty and hope and faith and belief.

The Harvest

By: Clive Thomas

“Thursday’s Child,” aka Peter Tobin – foundling, drover, shearer, horse-breaker, soldier, and pastoralist – travelled far and wide throughout the Australian outback in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The legacy of his widely scattered seed is gathered up in this tale of fatal misunderstandings, murder, and altruism, spanning the years 1910 to 1974. Like the Peter Tobin memoir “Thursday’s Child” that precedes it, the author gives a respectful nod to history pedants and reminds them this is a work of fiction.

Doghouse Blues 2

Roger Fraser, the ever optimistic but perpetually put upon investment banking stock analyst-trouble shooter and occasional rugby player has more work and domestic issues to challenge his sensibilities. He skilfully manoeuvres from one demanding situation to the next, barely managing to extinguish the callous flames of fate seeming to constantly blight his endeavours and bite at his flesh. During his excursions into shocking social scandals and battling with egotistical megalomaniacs, he endlessly verges on disaster, but somehow always manages to survive. Roger pokes irreverent fun at the new Establishment, single-handedly takes on female dragons, prevails against rampaging supermarket shoppers and trades wisecracks with a Brummy vicar, but invariably finds himself tethered to the doghouse, singing the blues.

Theatre Tales

Pre-Andrew Loyd Webber

By: David John Clive

It is widely believed that if you mention anything to an actor that happened more than twenty years ago, he or she will either laugh or cry. The point being that events in the show business tend to attain a larger than life quality, at least to the participants, either sadder or funnier than they would be if normal people were involved. I have earned a precarious living in various facets of the profession for nearly forty years, while observing, with wonder, these often bizarre moments. It seemed a waste to have them all disappear when I do. Therefore, in the interest of preserving a record of the antics of my fellow workers, from Ethel Merman to Bernard Wu, I dedicate this book. If you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed living it, I will consider the effort eminently worth while.

Sacred Stone

Juan Cabrillo and his CIA-backed Oregon crew must beat opposing factions to a discovery that could prevent World War III in this novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series. In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artifact hidden in a cave for a millennium: a 50,000 year-old radioactive meteorite known as the Sacred Stone. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing groups who seek the stone for themselves. One is a group of Muslim extremists who have stolen a nuclear device. With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize any city in the west. The other group is led by a megalomaniacal industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself. Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his crew must fight to protect the scientist and the Sacred Stone—and prevent the outbreak of World War III...

The Complete Guide Second Edition

By: Clive Hallett,Amanda Johnston

Aimed at fashion designers, Fabric for Fashion:The Complete Guide is unique in explaining the behaviour, properties and sustainability impacts of a wide range of natural and man-made fabrics. Design is determined by how fabrics work, move, feel and look. Increasingly and out of necessity, design is also led by how fabric choices affect our planet and its inhabitants. The most successful fashion designers are those who truly understand their materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. This book offers guidance by providing a mix of practical information, including industry vocabulary, and a wealth of stunning visual examples showing how designers, both past and present, have worked with textiles. Highlights of this new edition include additional chapters on: - Sustainable fabrics and fashion - Smart fabrics - Product development - Biosynthetic fibres "This second edition of Fabric for Fashion offers refreshed information on sustainability and smart fabrics. Rather than tacking on a chapter to address these concerns, Hallett and Johnston address these topics appears in every chapter and subchapter, on subjects like fabrics' environmental impacts, for example, as well as notes on eco-friendly fabrics, how "smart" fabric translates into functional designs, the recyclability of individual fabrics, and more... A must for anyone who cares about the fate of fabrics and the goods they become, as well as the fate of our planet." - Booklist

The Electric ARC: Tao Tian Xiao Sheng Temple

By: Clive Alando Taylor

Over 2'500 years ago it was once said by a great and prominent sage, that a tao that can be explained is not a tao, but if a tao cannot be explained then what is it, is it something more or something less than the tao it reflects to explain, or is it something more completely different and separate from the tao that is unexplainable, well perhaps maybe it is not, or perhaps maybe it is the tao of the electric arc of the tao tian xiao sheng temple, or perhaps maybe it is only the tao of dreamers, who knows, and yet isn't it profoundly funny that in this great day and age of technological innovation and advancement, that we can all seem to explain what took place over 2'500 years ago and yet we can hardly begin to explain what took place over 2 weeks ago, wow! isn't that tao.

Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide

Natural and Man-made Fibres

By: Amanda Johnston,Clive Hallett

Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide is the only book specifically for fashion designers to explain the behaviour and properties of different fabrics. Fashion design is largely determined by how the fabrics work, move, feel and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. This book bridges that gap by providing a mix of practical information and industry vocabulary, visually examining generic fabric types, discussing the characteristics of fabrics and showing how to exploit materials to push the boundaries of design. With stunning colour photographs that show how fashion designers, both past and present, have worked with fabrics, the book’s prime objective is to stimulate creative exploration of the relationship of fabrics to fashion.

Ulysses

A Review of Three Texts : Proposals for Alterations to the Texts of 1922, 1961, and 1984

By: Philip Gaskell,Clive Hart

Feeling that none of the existing editions of Ulysses adequately represents the text of the novel, Philip Gaskell and Clive Hart have looked again at the evidence of Joyce's manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs, and have produced lists of suggested alterations for the three most important editions of the book: the first edition of 1922, the standard American edition of 1961, and the so-called "corrected" edition of 1984. They believe that a copy of any of these editions, marked up with the alterations they propose, will result in a text closer to what Joyce intended in 1922 than any that has yet been achieved. What is offered here, in fact, is not a new edition of Ulysses, but a kit for repairing the major faults of existing editions. Contents: Abbreviations and References; Introduction; Synopsis of JJA 12-27; Alterations to 1922; Alterations to 1961; Alterations to 1984 R

Chain Gang Farewell

By: Clive Rivers

Anyone who ever worked for a money-grubbing newspaper chain that routinely grinds up reporters and throws them on the scrap heap will identify with Chain Gang Farewell. This work in the form of a fictional memoir set in Hawaii lays bare the infighting and back-stabbing, but also illuminates the spirited dedication and moxie that hard-bitten survivors in this harsh game bring to the task.
