Social machines are a type of network connected by interactive digital devices made possible by the ubiquitous adoption of technologies such as the Internet, the smartphone, social media and the read/write World Wide Web, connecting people at scale to document situations, cooperate on tasks, exchange information, or even simply to play. Existing social processes may be scaled up, and new social processes enabled, to solve problems, augment reality, create new sources of value, and disrupt existing practice. This book considers what talents one would need to understand or build a social machine, describes the state of the art, and speculates on the future, from the perspective of the EPSRC project SOCIAM – The Theory and Practice of Social Machines. The aim is to develop a set of tools and techniques for investigating, constructing and facilitating social machines, to enable us to narrow down pragmatically what is becoming a wide space, by asking ‘when will it be valuable to use these methods on a sociotechnical system?’ The systems for which the use of these methods adds value are social machines in which there is rich person-to-person communication, and where a large proportion of the machine’s behaviour is constituted by human interaction.
For five years the River Medway was a second home, cruising right up to the top reaches of the river in an 18ft motor boat, but soon bigger things beckoned. Robin fell in love with a very sad looking "Sheena Mackay", originally built in 1932 but now neglected and really in need of loads of tender loving care, not to mention a money tree in the back garden. But after quite a few years, Sheena Mackay was ready for the water, and the start of all the adventures. Even though I was one hundred percent behind Robin's dreams of sailing away, I was positively scared to death of actually doing it. So it was with great trepidation that we were now ready to do all the short trips in anticipation of saying farewell to home for a year or two. "MV SHEENA MACKAY" is my book about our adventures and how I slowly overcame my sheer terror. Well, maybe not totally, but I am a lot better! All the places that we have seen, from the south east coast, along the west coast to sailing around Lands End. Then up the west coast of Britain to Scotland, with all the delights of some of the Islands, passing along the Crinan and Caledonian Canals before heading down the east coast, absolutely amazing. We received several lovely comments about the way Robin had lovingly renovated "Sheena Mackay" and it thrilled us when she was recognised as a "Zulu" Scottish Trawler. My confidence in myself has grown and I am doing things that I would never have dreamt, which includes writing this book.

Winter can be a bit glum for dieters. No one feels much like salad while the rest of the family are tucking into hearty casseroles and calorific puddings. Winter Warmers has a great selection of satisfying and warming food, but in low fat, low cal versions that can be easily incorporated into anyone's diet. There are stews, casseroles, savoury bakes and some very decadent-sounding puddings and desserts. And, since winter is especially full of those occasions that spell danger to the dieter (Christmas lunch, family get-togethers, bonfire night office parties), there's a whole section devoted to festive and party food. All of which means that when winter finally ends you can wear those summer clothes with pride!
