Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the day finally came that hardened criminal Eli Coulden could walk out of prison a free man, his first act was a vow to turn his back on the way of life that led him there in the first place. Unfortunately for him though, it quickly became clear that the time he spent in the cells wasn't enough to shake off his troubled past, and a mysterious note sent to him upon his release threatens to thwart Coulden's new start before it has even begun. Tasked to finish the job he started in order to finally be free of the sins of his past, Coulden is once again forced to deal with a side of him he never wanted to admit existed, a side of him that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who ever crossed his path, a side that he promised to never unleash again. Hot on his trail is the volatile DC Edgen, a police officer who's been waiting in the shadows to finally make sure that Coulden would never again be allowed to repeat what he started all those years ago. Having never met but with their fates almost destined to intertwine, the two men begin a bloody game of cat-and-mouse through the rainy backstreets of Britain. But when the sides of good and evil are blurred and there's no one you can trust, both Coulden and Edgen are forced to admit that they might not be so different after all. A brutal and unforgiving exploration of man's relationship with his inner demons, Wayne Catterall's debut crime novel, Empty Shells, refuses to pull any punches. An epic crime story that spans two bloody events years apart, Empty Shells promises to be one of the most unpredictable and uncompromising thrillers you've read in years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Empty Seashell explores what it is like to live in a world where cannibal witches are undeniably real, yet too ephemeral and contradictory to be an object of belief. In a book based on more than three years of fieldwork between 1991 and 2011, Nils Bubandt argues that cannibal witches for people in the coastal, and predominantly Christian, community of Buli in the Indonesian province of North Maluku are both corporeally real and fundamentally unknowable.Witches (known as gua in the Buli language or as suanggi in regional Malay) appear to be ordinary humans but sometimes, especially at night, they take other forms and attack people in order to kill them and eat their livers. They are seemingly everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The reality of gua, therefore, can never be pinned down. The title of the book comes from the empty nautilus shells that regularly drift ashore around Buli village. Convention has it that if you find a live nautilus, you are a gua. Like the empty shells, witchcraft always seems to recede from experience.Bubandt begins the book by recounting his own confusion and frustration in coming to terms with the contradictory and inaccessible nature of witchcraft realities in Buli. A detailed ethnography of the encompassing inaccessibility of Buli witchcraft leads him to the conclusion that much of the anthropological literature, which views witchcraft as a system of beliefs with genuine explanatory power, is off the mark. Witchcraft for the Buli people doesn't explain anything. In fact, it does the opposite: it confuses, obfuscates, and frustrates. Drawing upon Jacques Derrida's concept of aporia—an interminable experience that remains continuously in doubt—Bubandt suggests the need to take seriously people's experiential and epistemological doubts about witchcraft, and outlines, by extension, a novel way of thinking about witchcraft and its relation to modernity.

This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most recent advances on the mechanics of soft and composite shells and their nonlinear vibrations and stability, including advanced problems of modeling human vessels (aorta) with fluid-structure interaction. It guides the reader into nonlinear modelling of shell structures in applications where advanced composite and complex biological materials must be described with great accuracy. To achieve this goal, the book presents nonlinear shell theories, nonlinear vibrations, buckling, composite and functionally graded materials, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, nonlinear damping, rubber and soft biological materials. Advanced nonlinear shell theories, not available in any other book, are fully derived in a simple notation and are ready to be implemented in numerical codes. The work features a blend of the most advanced theory and experimental results, and is a valuable resource for researchers, professionals and graduate students, especially those interested in mechanics, aeronautics, civil structures, materials, bioengineering and solid matter at different scales.

Book excerpt: This unique book explores both theoretical and experimental aspects of nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates. It is ideal for researchers, professionals, students, and instructors. Expert researchers will find the most recent progresses in nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates, including advanced problems of shells with fluid-structure interaction. Professionals will find many practical concepts, diagrams, and numerical results, useful for the design of shells and plates made of traditional and advanced materials. They will be able to understand complex phenomena such as dynamic instability, bifurcations, and chaos, without needing an extensive mathematical background. Graduate students will find (i) a complete text on nonlinear mechanics of shells and plates, collecting almost all the available theories in a simple form, (ii) an introduction to nonlinear dynamics, and (iii) the state of art on the nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates, including fluid-structure interaction problems.
