After a tragic end to their military careers, Gerry and Paul have rebuilt their lives as civilians. Two years later, it now seems the spectres of their past are finally beginning to fade. However, when Gerry has a crisis, a simple plan is agreed: meet up in Edinburgh's Old Town, visit some old haunts, drink beer, talk things through - then go home. What could possibly go wrong? More than anyone could imagine… Drawn into a senseless brawl outside a night club, both men soon find themselves running for their lives through twisting closes in the oldest and most unpredictable part of town. A chance meeting in a side street leads to an offer of refuge as guests in a private club under an old tenement building - but this party isn't what it seems. They don't let just anyone in, nothing is really 'on the house', and before long these two ex-soldiers realise all the horrors of war are nothing compared to what lies ahead for them in Club Medusa…

This book collects the main contributions from the 4th edition of the NICFD conference, organized by the Special Interest Group on Non-Ideal Compressible Fluid Dynamics (SIG- 49). It provides some of the latest research findings in the field of NICFD, relevant to a number of engineering applications related to the conversion of renewable and waste energy sources, like, e.g., organic Rankine cycles, super-critical CO2 cycle power plants, combustors operating with supercritical fluids, and heat pumps. The book reports on research encompassing theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of the gas-dynamics of non-ideal reactive and non-reactive flows and their impact for the design of internal-flow components (turbomachinery, heat exchangers, combustors). All chapters address challenges related to characterizing the behaviour of non-ideal fluids, where state-of-the-art models are used to predict the thermo-physical properties of both pure and multi-phase fluids.

The first single-volume edition of this play in almost 500 years, widely rated by critics as Philip Massinger's best work -- .

A fascinating exploration of Renaissance theatre practice and staging, which relates the characteristics of Renaissance theatre to the issues involved in staging the plays today. Plays discussed include 'The Duchess of Malfi'.

This introductory guide to one Shakespeare's most read and performed plays offers a scene-by-scene theatrically aware commentary, a brief history of the text and first performances, case studies of key performances and productions, a survey of film and TV adaptations, and a wide sampling of critical opinion and annotated further reading.

'Tis Pity She's a Whore is one of the most controversial plays ever staged in the English theatre. In this illuminating Handbook, Martin White:* offers an in-depth, moment-by-moment analysis of the play, looking at how it might be performed on stage* provides vital contextual material on John Ford's social and literary influences* reconstructs the play's performances in Ford's own time and examines later stage, television and film productions* guides the reader through the often heated critical and theatrical responses to the dramatic work.

Rarely does the organization have more than one intranet manager, and intranet management is often only one of their many responsibilities. There are very few intranet conferences around the world, and only recently have intranet communities of practice been established in Europe. Universities and colleges do not offer courses in intranet management, and there is little in the way of continuous professional development support. It is also very difficult to obtain access to intranets in other organizations. Despite the widespread implementation of intranets over the last few years there is virtually no professional literature available on intranet management to which to turn for ideas and examples of good practice. This book fills that gap, offering a wealth of practical advice on intranet management, based on the work of the author as an intranet consultant over the past fifteen years. It includes areas such as: managing intranets - opportunities and challenges; defining user requirements; making a business case; developing a content strategy; enhancing collaboration; managing technology; specifying and selecting software; using Microsoft SharePoint for intranets; operational planning; establishing the intranet team; managing intranet projects; evaluating risks; enhancing the user experience; marketing the intranet; measuring user satisfaction; creating the governance framework; writing an intranet strategy; and, intranets and information management. An appendix offers guidelines for social media use. At the end of each chapter there is a short list of websites and other resources that provide additional commentary and insight on the topics that have been covered. These resources can also be found at our associated website, where new and revised resources will also be listed. This book offers invaluable guidance to all information professionals involved in the development of an intranet for their organization, and will also be of great interest to a wide range of managers with responsibility for internal communications, personal management, risk management, information management and information technology.

In all organizations, the value and volume of unstructured information is significantly greater than that of structured data. Organizations rely on folder structures and information architecture to locate information on shared drives and intranets, but become overwhelmed by the amount of new content. They need better search solutions to provide rapid and accurate access to the increasing mass of information from internal servers and external information services, and to meet compliance and governance requirements such as Freedom of Information legislation. The array of web and enterprise search engines now becoming available meets this need. This unique book is designed to help organizations to understand, specify and implement desktop, website, intranet and enterprise search applications. The technology of search is presented in a non-technical way to enable you to understand the benefits and issues of each type of search solution, from the traditional high-end range to the newer plug-and-play solutions. Fully supported by references to web resources and other further reading, the book covers: how search works; the search business; making a business case for search; specifying and selecting a search engine; optimizing search performance; search usability; desktop search; implementing web search; implementing search for an intranet; enterprise search; multilingual search; and future directions for search. An appendix offers profiles of 40 search software vendors worldwide. Whether you are an enterprise knowledge manager, information professional, website owner, e-commerce director, or anyone responsible for implementing your organization's internal search strategy, this book will give you crucial guidance to be found nowhere else. It also provides essential awareness of the issues for all those on information science courses around the world.

John Ford's tragedy, first printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister. This Revels Plays edition is a scholarly, modern-spelling edition of one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period. White's critical introduction explores the textual and theatrical histories of the play, exploring closely its relationship to the particular stage and audience for which it was written. This Revels edition allows the modern reader to become, in Ford's words, an 'actor that but reads'.
