The physical principles of swimming and flying in animals are intriguingly different from those of ships and airplanes. The study of animal locomotion therefore holds a special place not only at the frontiers of pure fluid dynamics research, but also in the applied field of biomimetics, which aims to emulate salient aspects of the performance and function of living organisms. For example, fluid dynamic loads are so significant for swimming fish that they are expected to have developed efficient flow control procedures through the evolutionary process of adaptation by natural selection, which might in turn be applied to the design of robotic swimmers. And yet, sharply contrasting views as to the energetic efficiency of oscillatory propulsion – especially for marine animals – demand a careful assessment of the forces and energy expended at realistic Reynolds numbers. For this and many other research questions, an experimental approach is often the most appropriate methodology. This holds as much for flying animals as it does for swimming ones, and similar experimental challenges apply – studying tethered as opposed to free locomotion, or studying the flow around robotic models as opposed to real animals. This book provides a wide-ranging snapshot of the state-of-the-art in experimental research on the physics of swimming and flying animals. The resulting picture reflects not only upon the questions that are of interest in current pure and applied research, but also upon the experimental techniques that are available to answer them.

The authors set out to unlock the secrets of money and the intimate connections between the social and institutional forms of money and human individuality and personality. The book combines a reappraisal of sociological, economic and Marxist accounts of money with a substantive assessment of the way in which money impacts on intimate areas of everyday life. The areas covered include the National Lottery, the Criminal Justice System and Local Exchange and Trading Schemes.

The Naughty Little Bear

There is a developing crisis of social democratic trade unionism in Western Europe; this volume outlines the crisis and examines the emerging alternatives. The authors define 'social democratic trade unionism' and its associated party-union nexus and explain how this traditional model has been threatened by social democracy's accommodation to neo-liberal restructuring and public service reform. Examining the experience of Sweden, Germany, Britain and France, the volume explores the historical rise and fall of social democratic trade unionism in each of these countries and probes the policy and practice of the European Trade Union Confederation. The authors critically examine the possibilities for a revival of social democratic unionism in terms of strategic policy and identity, offering suggestions for an alternative, radicalized political unionism. The research value of the book is highlighted by its focus on contemporary developments and its authors' intimate knowledge of the chosen countries.

Here is a fresh, fascinating look at the Book of Changes, tracing the mythical and legendary rulers, along with the Taoist and Confucian origins within it, and considering the role of each in the making of the Book of Changes. Essentially, it is offered to the reader as a detailed reappraisal of the wisdom contained within the ancient text. Whether you are old or new to the Book of Changes you will gain much from the practical advice contained in this in-depth, well-researched work. You will discover the Book of Changes is a mirror into yourself and as such, you will learn, through your own inner mirror, to 'know thyself'. Through such a process, you will also learn to enhance your psyche, intuition and instincts, all neglected since the rise of modernity. You will discover, for the first time, the 'true' meaning of colour within the Book of Changes, according to the ancient Taoist, and its practical use in daily life. In addition, you will find out about the workings of an ancient magic charm, in trigram form, also for the first time, which opens up possibilities that a magical formula lies within the Book of Changes. It is a work you will want to reread.
