The Gloster Aircraft Company had its foundation in 1917 and in 1934 the company was taken over by Hawker Aircraft, though it continued to produce aircraft under its own name. In that same year the company produced the famous Gladiator biplane. Having no modern designs of its own in production, Gloster undertook manufacture for the parent company Hawker. During the Second World War it built more than 6,000 Hurricanes and Typhoons. The Gloster Meteor was the first operational Allied jet fighter aircraft of the Second World War, commencing operations in mid-1944, only some weeks later than the world's first operational jet, the German Messerschmitt Me 262. In 1945 a Meteor gained a World Airspeed Record of 606 mph. Meteors remained in service with several air forces and saw action in the Korean War. In 1952, the two seat, delta winged Gloster Javelin was developed as an all-weather fighter that could fly above 50,000 feet. In 1961, the company was merged with Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitw...

Special Relativity is a superb text for students to begin or continue a serious study of physics. Describing the most accessible of the 20th-century revolutions, it also illustrates the fact that nature is stranger than one imagines. The book evolved through years of teaching a highly-successful course to thousands of first-year students in science and engineering. It is appropriate as part of an introductory physics course, as a supplement to a "modern physics" course, as a text for a special topics or advanced placement course, or even as a supplement in an advanced undergraduate course. Numerous illustrations, examples, and problems are presented throughout, with the concise mathematical description postponed until after the reader has built up some physical intuition for what is going on. The book contains many applications, from particle decays, colliding-beam experiments and photon rockets to a brief introduction to relativistic gravitation, including the Principle of E...

Aus den Tiefen des kollektiven Unbewussten ruft Freya Aswynn die Erinnerung an das spirituelle Erbe unserer eigenen vorchrist­lichen Kultur wach, deren esoterisches Wissen im Alphabet der Runen zusammengefasst ist. Neben Ursprung und Entstehung der Runen, ihrer esoterischen Bedeutung und praktischen Anwendung in Divination und Magie, geht Freya Aswynn auch auf die Beziehung zu den Göttern und Sagen der nordischen Mythologie ein, wobei sie im Besonderen die Rolle der weiblichen Mysterien innerhalb dieser alten Tradition untersucht. Aus ihrer eigenen Verbundenheit und langjährigen Erfahrung mit den Runen verleiht sie diesem alten Wissen in Verbindung mit modernem psychologischen und okkulten Gedankengut eine neue lebendige Kraft, die in ihrer schlichten, aber mächtigen Überzeugungskraft beispiellos ist. In der deutschen Ausgabe mit 24 Runeninitialen von Michael Zoe Dewitt versehen, gilt dieses Buch als Klassiker der esoterischen Runenkunde und modernen magischen Literatur. ...

I went to Israel looking for glory and instead found the Al Aqsa Intifada. I made Aliyah at a time when suicide bombers were immolating themselves and others on Israel's streets. Almost exactly a year after my arrival I was in the Israel Defence Force. They sent me over the Green Line into Nablus and Jenin and other Palestinian cities. I came face to face with suicide bombers, kids throwing stones, civilians wanting only to get through the day and a couple of the big terrorists who dispatched bombers to Israel. What I saw, what I did and what I saw others do will stay with me forever. Not enough has been written about the Al Aqsa Intifada. A period of time that left a wound on Israeli society that may never heal.If you ever wondered what a suicide bomber looks like, or how terror chiefs act when they're arrested or how it feels to live in a world where the bus you're travelling on might blow up then come with me Beyond the Green Line and see it through my eyes. ...

Part historical drama, part thriller, and part comedy, Tsui Hark's Peking Opera Blues (1986) invites—if not demands—examinations from multiple perspectives. Tan See Kam rises to the challenge in this study by first situating Tsui in a Sinophone context. The diasporic director explores different dimensions of "Chineseness" in the film by depicting competing versions of Chinese nationalism and presenting characters speaking two Chinese languages, Cantonese and Mandarin. In the process he compels viewers to recognize the multiplicities of the Chinese identity and rethink what constitutes cultural Chineseness. The challenge to a single definition of "Chinese" is also embodied by the playful pastiches of diverse materials. In a series of intertextual readings, Tan reveals the full complexity of Peking Opera Blues by placing it at the center of a web of texts consisting of Tsui's earlier film Shanghai Blues (1984), Hong Kong's Mandarin Canto-pop songs, the ...
