Commander Alex Coleman is no hero. Just ask him. It's 2037 and Alex is one more disobeyed order away from kissing his naval career goodbye. He used to be high speed, the kind of officer on the fast track to submarine command. Then he threw it all away trying to save a few civilian lives from his glory hungry commanding officer. No pain no gain, right? Alex isn't sorry he did the right thing but being everyone's favorite scapegoat isn't fun...

Modern-Day Piracy Moves Under the High Seas A band of modern-day pirates station-hops across the Indian Ocean in an old Russian submarine. Each attack bolder and more costly than the last, these pirates leave behind a trail of broken bodies, businesses, and stolen submarines at every undersea station they visit-and it's up to Lieutenant Commander Alex Coleman and attack submarine USS Kansas to stop them. Teaming up with his old college roomm...

Save those you can. Avenge those you can't. In a world where friends are a liability, Night Riders like Shade have none. Riding alone keeps him alive and lets him help those who have no one else. But when a man who was once his friend-and knows the identity he cannot share with the world-chances upon him, Shade makes the mistake of making the smallest personal connection. But friendship can be a double-edged sword, and darkness haunts Shade'...

The previous volume Advances in Unmanned Marine Vehicles brought together eighteen chapters describing research and developments in unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs). It was observed that almost without exception research groups worldwide were developing and working on real UMVs which means that they are able to test, evaluate and re-evaluate their designs in relatively quick succession, thereby rapidly reporting new approaches, techniques, desi...

Originally published in 1914, this volume provides information on the historical background of place-names in Sussex.

Unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs) include autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, semi-submersibles and unmanned surface craft. This book highlights the advanced technology that is evolving to meet the challenges being posed in this exciting and growing area of research.

Volume V deals with the problems of turnover in the nervous system. "Turnover" is defined in different ways, and the term is used in different contexts. It is used rather broadly in the present volume, and intentionally so. The turnover of macromolecules is only one aspect, here "turnover" in­ dicates the simultaneous and coordinated formation and breakdown of macromolecular species. The complexities of cerebral protein turnover are shown in a...

Excerpt from The Place-Names of Sussex The following work was originally written as a dissertation for the degree of B. A. with Honours in English Language and Philology in the University of Liverpool. It has since been completely revised and brought up to date. The scope of the book is purely linguistic, no attempt has been made to describe geographical or topographical features, although these have naturally been taken into account in deter...

This book describes our present knowledge of protons and neutrons. Experiments using high-energy electrons, muons, and neutrinos reveal that the proton is made up of point-like constituents, i.e. quarks. The strong forces that bind quarks together, gluons, are described in terms of the modern theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Larger and newer particle accelerators provide an opportunity to see deeper into the proton and probe the interac...
