When a young geologist stumbles across what looks like to most a greyish rock with blue tints, he knows he has something precious on his hands. Although it looks common, as soon as the name 'cobalt' is applied, it suddenly becomes eminently more valuable. Valuable enough even to potentially be the salvation of a poor African state still recovering in the aftermath of a tsunami. And valuable enough to be the source of danger for all that come across it...        Kevin Forsythe, an English civil servant and a Shakespearian scholar, has one ambition: to retire to a life of pink gin and solitude. But when Pete, his young friend, shows him his rare find, it unintentionally sets in motion events that mean Kevin becomes the unlikely lynch-pin to the country's salvation. Uncovering corporate greed and selfishness, international drug smuggling and terrorism, political corruption and the heart-breaking plight of desperately poor children, Kevin has no choice but to help. With only Pete and a British consultant with a track record of being a reluctant hero to aid him, Kevin must weave through the political web of danger that has slowly spun around him before the fly in the ointment becomes the fly that gets snapped up.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49623666295057,"sku":"GOR011972501","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1838593551.jpg?v=1750865628"},{"product_id":"ancient-forests-book-david-middleton-9780877018148","title":"Ancient Forests","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49635754836241,"sku":"GOR003791809","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50467886465297,"sku":"CIN0877018146G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51461038113041,"sku":"CIN0877018146VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52854043246865,"sku":"GOR005153342","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52934355714321,"sku":"CIN0877018146A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0877018146.jpg?v=1750746966"},{"product_id":"new-key-to-ecuador-and-the-galapagos-book-david-middleton-9781569750759","title":"New Key to Ecuador and the Galapagos","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49653415706897,"sku":"GOR005207344","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51714970878225,"sku":"CIN1569750750G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1569750750.jpg?v=1751212769"},{"product_id":"nature-of-vermont-a-year-long-photographic-journal-book-david-middleton-9780881505290","title":"The Nature of Vermont: A Year-Long Photographic Journal","description":"From mayfly to moose and from mountainside to roadside, a celebration of the natural world in one of America's premier outdoor destinations.

Today, there are four. Nationally acclaimed nature photographer David Middleton spent four years working on one of these farms, side by side with the three generations who operate it. Eldest is 93-year-old Hugh Bromley, the grandson of the first Bromley to raise dairy cows here. The property has been in the Bromley family since before the Civil War. Hugh's son, Roger, runs the farm today, along with his wife Trish. Their three sons come and go on the farm, depending on how busy their own lives are. The Bromley farm is quite a sightly place, the description Hugh's wife gave it when she first laid eyes on the place after World War I. Middleton has captured not only the visual beauty of this vanishing world but the voices of the Bromleys. Color images are interwoven with thirty short stories of life on the farm. Hugh recalls the early years as he goes about his chores. Roger, as engaging as he is shy, explains the day-to-day working of the family dairy business today. It'  s a fascinating world and, with Roger as the main guide, it'  s a pretty funny one as well.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393797361937,"sku":"CIN1933212918G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1933212918.jpg?v=1751218890"},{"product_id":"outside-the-gates-of-eden-book-david-middleton-9781939574343","title":"Outside the Gates of Eden","description":"\u003cem\u003eOutside the Gates of Eden\u0026gt;\u003c\/em\u003eis a carefully sequenced collection of poems whose deepest roots are in the opening words and chapters of the Book of Genesis: How God, by simply speaking, brought things into existence; how Adam further linked mankind to creation by naming the animals; how Adam and Eve fell from a state of innocence and perfection into this world of history, death, and time - whose effects some poems depict; and how art, especially poetry with its use of linking metaphors, has a special - even heroic - role as a mode of knowing by which human beings can once again perceive and, perhaps, even move toward the wholeness, harmony, and radiance of what Eden means. \u003cbr\u003eIn addition, this collection considers how poetry may be the way by which humankind can most fully celebrate, here and now, even in a post-Edenic world, the mystery of creation, its orderliness and beauty, its origin and end, its purposefulness, and, above all, the wonder of its merely being.

This collection, whose title refers to barrier islands off the Louisiana coast, takes the poet beyond earlier doubts concerning the cosmos and its Creator to a loving trust in Providence often expressed in psalm-like poems that celebrate both the beauty and the rational intelligibility of the natural order of things.  The Louisiana poems- set in the Protestant north of the poet's childhood and in the Roman Catholic south where he now resides- richly evoke the flora, fauna, geography, and history of the state and also honor family members, including Middleton's father, who is memorialized in For an Artist with Parkinson's. In The Duck Hunt, Middleton contrasts the oil rigs off the Louisiana coast- where men desperately seek more oil to keep the modern world going- with the primitive coastland marshes where hunters are taken back momentarily to archaic times (\"\"This open wilderness of grass and mud\"\").   Other poems, such as The Yeoman Farmers, Dinner on the Ground, and Oak Alley, are meditations on the history of the South that reveal Middleton as a late inheritor of the Agrarian tradition. Indeed, At Franklin is in direct response to Allen Tate's famous Ode to the Confederate Dead, to letters on that poem between Tate and Donald Davidson, and to Davidson's own answering poem to Tate, The Last Charge.  With its extraordinary sense of place, artful storytelling, and wide range of verse forms and language, Beyond the Chandeleurs is a volume to cherish.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007854018833,"sku":"NIN9780807123782","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807123781.jpg?v=1751264251"},{"product_id":"social-psychology-of-experience-book-david-middleton-9780803977570","title":"The Social Psychology of Experience","description":"`A smart, thoughtful, and well-written book  that takes social memory studies in a bold new direction and will attract an audience from across the social sciences for years to come′ - Theory \u0026amp; Psychology    What informs the process of remembering and forgetting?  Is it merely about our capability to store and retrieve experiences in a purely functional sense?  What about ′collective memories′, not just those of the individual - how do these manifest themselves in the passages of time?       The authors present a new, fascinating insight into the social psychology of experience drawing upon a number of classic works (particularly by Frederick Bartlett, Maurice Halbwachs \u0026amp; Henri Bergson) to help develop their argument.  The significance of their ideas for developing a contemporary psychology of experience is illustrated with material from studies focused on settings at home and at work, in public and commercial organizations where remembering and forgetting are matters of concern, involving language and text based communication, objects and place.       As their argument unfolds, the authors reveal that memories do not solely reside in a linear passage of time, linking past, present and future, nor do they solely rest within the indidvidual′s conciousness, but that memory sits at the very heart of ′lived experience′;  whether collective or individual, the vehicle for how we remember or forget is linked to social interaction, object interaction and the different durations of living that we all have.   It is very much connected to the social psychology of experience.        This book is written for advanced undergraduate, masters and doctoral students in social psychology.  However, it will also be of particular value on courses that deal with conceptual and historical issues in psychology (in cognate disciplines as well) and supplmentary reading in cognitive science.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51118472298769,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51118473347345,"sku":"GOR005542819","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148769947921,"sku":"NLS9780803977570","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803977573.jpg?v=1751138859"},{"product_id":"non-gaussian-statistical-communication-theory-book-david-middleton-9780470948477","title":"Non-Gaussian Statistical Communication Theory","description":"The book is based on the observation that communication is the central operation of discovery in all the sciences. In its \"active mode\" we use it to \"interrogate\" the physical world, sending appropriate \"signals\" and receiving nature's \"reply\". In the \"passive mode\" we receive nature's signals directly. Since we never know a prioriwhat particular return signal will be forthcoming, we must necessarily adopt a probabilistic model of communication. This has developed over the approximately seventy years since it's beginning, into a Statistical Communication Theory (or SCT). Here it is the set or ensemble of possible results which is meaningful. From this ensemble we attempt to construct in the appropriate model format, based on our understanding of the observed physical data and on the associated statistical mechanism, analytically represented by suitable probability measures.  Since its inception in the late '30's of the last century, and in particular subsequent to World War II, SCT has grown into a major field of study. As we have noted above, SCT is applicable to all branches of science. The latter itself is inherently and ultimately probabilistic at all levels. Moreover, in the natural world there is always a random background \"noise\" as well as an inherent a priori uncertainty in the presentation of deterministic observations, i.e. those which are specifically obtained, a posteriori.   The purpose of the book is to introduce Non-Gaussian statistical communication theory and demonstrate how the theory improves probabilistic model. The book was originally planed to include 24 chapters as seen in the table of preface. Dr. Middleton completed first 10 chapters prior to his passing in 2008. Bibliography which represents remaining chapters are put together by the author's close colleagues; Drs. Vincent Poor, Leon Cohen and John Anderson.   email pressbooks@ieee.org to request Ch.10","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51279100117265,"sku":"NIN9780470948477","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0470948477.jpg?v=1751325839"},{"product_id":"fiddler-of-driskill-hill-book-david-middleton-9780807151969","title":"The Fiddler of Driskill Hill","description":"Deeply rooted in personal and regional history, David Middleton's The Fiddler of Driskill Hill celebrates a particular place and the universal human experience.

The book is written for seismic-acousticians in the geo-exploration, engineering, oceanographic and underwater sound communities.

Sediment Acoustics\u003c\/em\u003e provides an excellent introduction to Biot Theory, the physics underlying the model parameters, and the experimentally measurable predictions of theory. The book constitutes a major synthesis for non-specialists: the results of laboratory, in-situ and numerical modeling studies of seismic-acoustic wave propagation, reflection and attenuation in two-phase poro-visco-elastic media. The text draws from Dr. Stoll's then-20+ year study of shallow subsea porosity and permeability and their effects on seismic-acoustics over the 5-1500 Hz band and has much to offer those interested in better understanding of the Biot model. It is written at the graduate literature review level but includes enough tutorial sections and references to be useful as a text for new researchers in seismic modeling, quantitative seismic stratigraphy, offshore marine geotechnique, underwater acoustics and sonar, and ground-interacting aeroacoustics. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52472408310033,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52472408801553,"sku":"NLS9780932146144","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780932146144.jpg?v=1759838297"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-david-middleton.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
