Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an anthology of twenty-seven World War I-era essays, by various authors, on ship camouflage from that time period. It focuses primarily on American and British camouflage, and especially on "dazzle camouflage," a counter-intuitive method in which brightly colored abstract shapes were applied to the ship's surface. The purpose of such camouflage was not low visibility, but to make it difficult to aim a torpedo at a distant, moving ship from a submerged submarine (U-boat), while peering through a periscope. The book includes 275 drawings, diagrams and vintage photographs, and a 40-page camouflage bibiliography, the largest ever.

Book excerpt: The Torpedo Boat Destroyers (TBDs) of the 1890s--the first destroyers--were among the most glamorous naval vessels ever built. With their remarkable speed, their connotations of David and Gliath, and their initial deployment against the Royal Navy's traditional enemy, the French, they caught the public imagination, while the command of one was coveted by all young naval officers. Drawing on Admiralty documents and plans, the author has compiled a brilliant collection of data on the early development of these vessels up to the River class of 1900. He also looks at the German response and the development in the US, particularly the Bainbridge class with its distinct raised forecastle. With its superb plans and drawings and entirely original research, this book is an essential reference for all naval historians, enthusiast and modelmakers with an interest in the development of one of the twentieth century's most exciting warships.

Book excerpt: "Dorothea Smartt connects past and present, presence and absence in this rich new collection of poems. At its heart is a sequence of poems set in Lancaster that excavate the missing history of Samboo, an African slave brought from the Caribbean by a Lancaster sea-captain as a present for his wife. Samboo died within days of his arrival and is presumed buried at Sunderland Point. The sequence both imagines Samboo's mostly unrecorded experience and draws connections between present day Lancaster and the foundations of its 18th century prosperity in slave trading. Begun as a commission by Lancaster Litfest, the sequence is a deeply personal response to the bicentenary of the abolition of British slave trading. It is accompanied by photographs which place Samboo's tragedy in the Lancaster landscape." "Surrounding this sequence are contemporary poems that, on one level, in the vitality of lives revealed, provide a counterpoint to the emptiness of Samboo's too soon curtailed life, but on another level echo a continuity of loss wrought by the fragmentation of African Caribbean families through continuing migrations and death." "The need to imagine who Samboo might have been, to tell his missing story and see through the false identity that others imposed on him connects to a more personal, contemporary sense of obligation in Dorothea Smartt's work. This is the duty to record family history, to envision a wholeness out of the fragments and dissolve the differences that prejudice may interpose between private and public selves."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an integrated approach to planning wherein a classical planner is augmented with the ability to defer achievable goals and address these deferred goals during execution. This integration gains from reactive planning the ability to utilize runtime information, thus reducing the need for perfect a priori information, while retaining the goal-directedness afforded by a priori planning. This approach also retains the provably-correct nature of plans constructed by a classical planner by requiring that all deferred goals have achievability proofs guaranteeing their eventual achievement. Proving achievability is shown to be possible for certain classes of problems without having to determine the actions to achieve the associated goals. General plans for use in this integrated approach are learned through a modified explanation-based learning strategy called contingent explanation-based learning. In contingent EBL, deferred goals are represented using conjectured variables, which act as placeholders for the eventual values of plan parameters whose values are unknown prior to execution. Completors are incorporated into general plans for the runtime determination of values to replace the conjectured variables. Since only conjectured variables with accompanying achievability proofs are allowed into contingent explanations, the general plans learned in contingent EBL are guaranteed to be completable. An implemented system demonstrates the use of contingent EBL in learning general completable reactive plans; which enables the construction of robust, efficient plans for spaceship acceleration.
