Six Months Off

For 140 miles, the London LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) follows a green corridor right around the capital, offering a circular walk among secret countryside that can make you forget you’re within a few miles of Heathrow Airport, the A13, or the suburban sprawl of Croydon, Watford or Dagenham. Here is rolling downland near Coulsdon, the forest of Enfield Chase, the lonely Thames marshes at Rainham, the classical parkland of Bushy Park and a canalside stroll at Uxbridge. London could not seem further away. Each of the guide’s 15 sections represents a day’s walk of reasonable length, and starts and finishes at a public transport point.

The London Loop

The Object and Method of Zoological Nomenclature

Running for 180 miles from the river's source in rural Gloucestershire to Greenwich and the Thames Barrier, the Thames Path is one of the most popular and accessible of Britain's National Trails. It also offers a unique opportunity to walk through the nation's history from the dreaming spires of Oxford, past Windsor and Hampton Court and on through the heart of London to the towers of Dockland and beyond. This guide provides everything the walker needs, whether the intention is to cover to whole route from end to end or simply to find a location for a pleasant afternoon's walk beside the river. National Trail Guides are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Natural England, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.

Water hammer, or the study of fluid transient behaviour, is one of the most common problems in the water engineering community. This book covers the many causes and solutions in a practical way and is an essential reference for all those concerned with the flow of liquids, not just water, in pipe systems. It follows on from the authors' previous monograph on the problems and solutions of water hammer and presents common problems in the form of case studies. This is an interesting and useful read for practising engineers working in this area and it will enable them to make comparisons with their own problems. Also the practical nature of the book makes it useful for civil engineering departmental libraries and departments where hydraulic design is taught.

The text provides students with a solid grounding in the concepts and mechanisms underlying cell structure and function, and will leave them with a firm foundation in cell biology as well as a "big picture" view of the world of the cell. Revised and updated to reflect the most recent research in cell biology, Lewin's CELLS, Third Edition includes expanded chapters on Nuclear Structure and Transport, Chromatin and Chromosomes, Apoptosis, Principles of Cell Signaling, The Extracellular Matrix and Cell Adhesion, Plant Cell Biology, and more. All-new design features and a chapter-by-chapter emphasis on key concepts enhance pedagogy and emphasize retention and application of new skills. Thorough, accessible, and essential, Lewin's CELLS, Third Edition, turns a new and sharper lens on the fundamental units of life.

Lewin's CELLS

Daniel is young, confident, and fascinated by the wolf, feeling the animal is a reflection of himself. After losing his mate, he craves a new Alpha and finds Patrick, a handsome bartender, who gets him a job at Club Trade. There, his curiosity is peaked when he meets a sly blond, Chad, wearing a red foxtail. A pack is formed by the threesome as Daniel embarks on a journey of self-discovery—one of coming out as a furry. Tracking down a blue wolf fursuit, Daniel has no inhibitions and feels free when wearing it. The hedonistic lifestyle takes its toll as he delves deeper into an underground world where beasts rule. Ultimately, Daniel must decide his true nature—man or the wolf inside.

The Trouble with Furries

Daniel is young, confident, gay, and fascinated by the wolf, feeling that the animal is a reflection of himself. After losing his boyfriend, the alpha in their relationship, he craves a new alpha and finds Patrick, a handsome thirty year old, at club Trade. When Daniel begins working at the club, he meets a flirtatious blond who introduces him to his world, the unfamiliar world of the furry. Bringing Chad into his relationship with Patrick, Daniel carefully navigates the intricacies of an ongoing threesome while delving deeper into a world he fears, yet feels that he belongs. Excerpt: The man was a little taller than his own six feet, a little older by about ten years, and Daniel was caught by the man's brown appraising eyes, barely visible from the long bangs parted to the side. Intense desire emanated from the man. "What's your name?" "Daniel," Daniel bit his lip, "and yours?" "Patrick." Daniel curled his lip in an unconscious manner. "What are we doing after this?" In pure confidence, Patrick moved closer. Daniel felt intimidated and he liked it. "Taking you home." Patrick's loft was a conversion of two separate apartments, neatly arranged and antiseptic. Daniel, regardless of his initial discomfort, strutted in and eyed the furniture, aware that he was being watched. Patrick's eyes hardened, curious to figure out the guy he had picked up. "Are you really cool with this?" "You're the Alpha, you tell me." Daniel stepped closer and felt the body heat pass between them. "Alpha," Patrick was perplexed. Daniel continued, "I've always been fascinated by the wolf pack." "I can be your Alpha." Images of running naked through the night woods filled Daniel's excited head. He wanted to say more but could not find the words. "I'm fine with that. I can be a good Beta."

Where the Road Roams

On 22 July 2012 Chris Froome made history as the first African-born cyclist to stand on the podium at the Tour de France. Ten days later at the London Olympic Games he won a bronze medal in the time trial for his adopted nation in Team GB colours. Froome's path to professional cycling, from mountain biking on dusty roads in the nature reserves of Kenya's Great Rift Valley - alongside wild animals - to the giddy heights of the Tour de France and the Olympics, has been unlike any other in the history of the sport. Born in Nairobi to British parents he was schooled in South Africa and studied economics at university. But he abandoned his degree to take up the offer of a professional cycling contract in Europe. A fish out of water, unused to the harsh northern hemisphere winters, with no idea of the tactics, discipline or etiquette of riding in the professional peloton, Froome encountered a shock entrance into the rough and tumble world of top level European bike racing. But miraculously, within two years he'd signed for the biggest professional cycling team in the world - British Cycling supremo David Brailsford's Team Sky - finished second overall in the Tour of Spain by only 14 seconds and sacrificed his own ambitions to help teammate Bradley Wiggins become the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France. On the Champs Elysees in Paris, Froome stood below Wiggins on the second step of the podium.
