Book excerpt: "...as satisfying and moving as a good novel." - Classic Cars Magazine."...a highly recommended read for any Porsche or travel fan." - PurelyPorsche.Survival of the Quickest - Across Africa. In a Porsche.15,000 miles. 26 countries. One unforgettable adventure.In autumn 2008, Laura Reddin and Ben Coombs set off to drive from England to South Africa in a classic Porsche 944. No such journey had ever been made before, and everyone said it was impossible. They said the two young adventurers would end up broken down in the middle of some baking desert, or be robbed at knifepoint. They were right on both counts. But what they couldn't predict was that through the highs and the lows, the breakdowns and the bureaucracy, the red tape and the robberies, Laura and Ben would grow closer than they could imagine, and find romance amid Africa's epic vistas.From the edgy streets of Syria to the rutted tracks of Kenya, via the war-torn sands of the Sudan, Survival of the Quickest is the first book to describe the absolute cutting edge of adventurous road trips in gritty, honest detail. At turns inspiring, absorbing and thought-provoking, it shows just what can be achieved with a tough old car, a well-worn passport and a whole heap of determination.

Book excerpt: There’s popping out for a quick pint, and then there’s this – a gloriously preposterous 27,000 mile journey across 25 countries to grab a beer in pubs (bars) at opposite ends of the world. We’re talking an epic adventure, from an abandoned Soviet mine 700 miles from the North Pole, to a remote pub at South America’s southernmost tip. A journey undertaken in a TVR sports car, a car that many might consider untrustworthy just to drive to the shops. The journey packed a lot into its eight months. From braving the sheer drops of Bolivia’s Death Road, to drag racing the locals in Texas. From roaring across flooded salt flats, to sailing the straits of Magellan. From the highs of the planet’s best driving roads, to the lows of life in No-Man’s-Land, trapped between borders by red tape and bureaucracy. And from looking out for Polar Bears in the High Arctic, to dodging penguins in Tierra del Fuego. The story of the Pub2Pub Expedition is an inspirational account of where your dreams can take you if only you believe in them. Chronicling the epic journey made by Ben Coombs in his TVR Chimaera, Pub2Pub is both an exciting adventure and a fascinating snapshot of the life and culture of the countries that he drove through.

Book Synopsis Local Fields and Their Extensions: Second Edition by : Ivan B. Fesenko
Download or read book Local Fields and Their Extensions: Second Edition written by Ivan B. Fesenko and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002-07-17 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a modern exposition of the arithmetical properties of local fields using explicit and constructive tools and methods. It has been ten years since the publication of the first edition, and, according to Mathematical Reviews, 1,000 papers on local fields have been published during that period. This edition incorporates improvements to the first edition, with 60 additional pages reflecting several aspects of the developments in local number theory. The volume consists of four parts: elementary properties of local fields, class field theory for various types of local fields and generalizations, explicit formulas for the Hilbert pairing, and Milnor -groups of fields and of local fields. The first three parts essentially simplify, revise, and update the first edition. The book includes the following recent topics: Fontaine-Wintenberger theory of arithmetically profinite extensions and fields of norms, explicit noncohomological approach to the reciprocity map with a review of all other approaches to local class field theory, Fesenko's -class field theory for local fields with perfect residue field, simplified updated presentation of Vostokov's explicit formulas for the Hilbert norm residue symbol, and Milnor -groups of local fields. Numerous exercises introduce the reader to other important recent results in local number theory, and an extensive bibliography provides a guide to related areas.

Book Synopsis Computer Simulation Applications by : Marcia Lynn Whicker
Download or read book Computer Simulation Applications written by Marcia Lynn Whicker and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1991-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book provides a clear exposition of much that is relevant to simulation. . . . The authors then focus on the elements of computer simulation, namely, the assumptions upon which simulation is built: parameters, inputs or independent variables, algorithms or process decision rules, and outputs or dependent variables. Each of these facets, and the extent to which they need to be fully appreciated if simulation is to prove successful, is treated with care and clarity. . . Chapter 2 . . . is particularly well written and is exactly the type of treatment that should be included in a any graduate course on applied social research methods. . . Overall this is a book which many among the community of systems practitioners will find worthwhile reading." --Systems Practice "It is a readable book and--as intended--is easily accessible for the novice. The purpose and process of simulation modelling are described in brief, but clear, terms and are illustrated by the three well-chosen examples." --Telephone Surveys "This book is a good place to begin one's education in the potential for using computer simulations in theory building and policy analysis. As with any good book, it will whet your appetite and raise almost as many questions as it answers." --Social Science Computer Review Computer simulation represents one of the fastest growing areas for conducting research in the social sciences. Now, in Computer Simulation Applications, Marcia Lynn Whicker and Lee Sigelman show you how simulations can be used to analyze social systems for the purposes of theory building and policy analysis. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of computer simulations as a research method and outline the various steps involved in designing a simulation model. In addition, they provide practical suggestions on how to use a simulation model to test hypotheses, how to evaluate and validate a model, and the relative advantages of general purpose programming languages versus specialized sensitivity testing. If you're currently conducting or considering computer simulations in your research, then this volume is a must for your professional toolkit.
Book Synopsis Linear Matrix Inequalities in System and Control Theory by : Stephen Boyd
Download or read book Linear Matrix Inequalities in System and Control Theory written by Stephen Boyd and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors reduce a wide variety of problems arising in system and control theory to a handful of convex and quasiconvex optimization problems that involve linear matrix inequalities. These optimization problems can be solved using recently developed numerical algorithms that not only are polynomial-time but also work very well in practice; the reduction therefore can be considered a solution to the original problems. This book opens up an important new research area in which convex optimization is combined with system and control theory, resulting in the solution of a large number of previously unsolved problems.

Download or read book Into the Rip written by Damien Cave and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Damien Cave brought his young family to Sydney to set up the New York Times' Australian Bureau, they encountered the local pursuits of Nippers and surfing - and a completely different approach to risk that changed the way they lived their lives. Damien Cave has always been fascinated by risk. Having covered the war in Iraq and moved to Mexico City with two babies in nappies, he and his wife Diana thought they understood something about the subject. But when they arrived in Sydney so that Cave could establish The New York Times's Australia Bureau, life near the ocean confronted them with new ideas and questions, at odds with their American mindset that risk was a matter of individual choices. Surf-lifesaving and Nippers showed that perhaps it could be managed together, by communities. And instead of being either eliminated or romanticised, it might instead be respected and even embraced. And so Cave set out to understand how our current attitude to risk developed - and why it's not necessarily good for us. Into the Rip is partly the story of this New York family learning to live better by living with the sea and it is partly the story of how humans manage the idea of risk. Interviewing experts and everyday heroes, Cave asks critical questions like: Is safety overrated? Why do we miscalculate risk so often and how can we improve? Is it selfish to take risks or can more exposure make for stronger families, citizens and nations? And how do we factor in legitimate fears and major disasters like Cave has covered in his time here: the Black Summer fires; the Christchurch massacre; and, of course, Covid? The result is Grit meets Phosphorescence and Any Ordinary Day - a book that will change the way you and your family think about facing the world's hazards. 'Into the Rip is a beautiful tale of one family trying to figure things out - and, at the same time, a brilliant synthesis of a century of psychological science on how all of us can learn to dive headfirst into challenges, grow and adapt, and ultimately do well in life.' - Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit 'Damien Cave does an excellent job of deconstructing the phenomenon of trauma and risk to understand why some people are more vulnerable than others. His experience in war zones must have given him crucial insights into the topic.' - Sebastian Junger, author of Tribe, War, Fire, The Perfect Storm.
