Shark Tracker
Killer tales from an award-winning cinematographer and marine biologist. Marine biologist and underwater cameraman Richard ‘Shark Tracker’ Fitzpatrick wrangles sharks and other deadly marine creatures for a living. From the coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef to the murky depths of the Amazon, Fitzpatrick shares his real-life experiences with predators of the deep – from sharks and box jellyfish to sea snakes. A mixture of mind-boggling anecdotes and science provide an intimate insight into marine life and the conservation issues at stake.

Newtonian Dynamics
This textbook provides a comprehensive review of Newtonian dynamics at a level suitable for undergraduate physics students. It demonstrates that Newton’s three laws of motion, combined with a few simple force laws, not only can describe the motions of everyday objects observed on the surface of the Earth, but can also account for the motions of celestial objects seen in the sky. It helps bridge the problematic transition between elementary physics courses and upper-division physics courses. The book starts off at a level suitable for undergraduate (freshman) physics students and very gradually increases, until, toward the end, it approaches (but does not quite reach) a level characteristic of a graduate (senior) physics course.Each chapter of the book ends with a large number of numerical and analytical exercises and, in all appropriate cases, the final answers to the exercises are specified. The large number of exercises will allow students to accurately test their understanding of the material presented in the book, ideal for students who are self-studying or are taking classes remotely.Key Features: Provides a brief and accessible introduction to a complex topic Contains a more thorough treatment of the motions of heavenly bodies than conventional elementary mechanics texts Provides a wealth of end-of-chapter exercises to test understandingRichard Fitzpatrick is a Professor of physics at the University of Texas at Austin, USA, where he has been a faculty member since 1994. He is a member of the Royal Astronomical Society, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and the author of several textbooks.

Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics was developed during the first few decades of the twentieth century via a series of inspired guesses made by various physicists, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Pauli, and Dirac. All these scientists were trying to construct a self-consistent theory of microscopic dynamics that was compatible with experimental observations.The purpose of this book is to present quantum mechanics in a clear, concise, and systematic fashion, starting from the fundamental postulates, and developing the theory in as logical a manner as possible. Topics covered in the book include the fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics, angular momentum, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering theory, identical particles, and relativistic electron theory.

HH
THE STORY OF FOOTBALL’S MOST NOTORIOUS COACH – HELENIO HERRERA – AND THE PART THIS MASTER OF THE DARK ARTS PLAYED IN THE GAME’S FIRST, MYSTERIOUS ‘WHITE DEATH’.'HH – what a character. A deeply disturbed, malevolent, brilliant man... A superb book. I absolutely loved it.' – Paul Howard, record five-time Irish Book Award winnerAVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOWNicknamed ‘Il Mago’ (the Wizard) after bringing European Cup glory to Internazionale in successive years, Helenio Herrera was hailed as one of the finest minds in football. This explosive book explores the enigma of an incredibly charismatic figure: a philanderer, charlatan, trash-talker and serial winner mired in controversy, whose stellar career was halted by the death of one of his star players and his subsequent trial for manslaughter.‘HH’, as he was also known, revolutionised football coaching. He prepared his teams meticulously, was obsessed with his players’ mental toughness and introduced idiosyncratic psychological techniques. He made his name as a coach in Spain in the 1950s, winning La Liga twice with both Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, but it was his move to Inter in 1960 that propelled him to stardom.Shelving the attacking football that had won him plaudits in Spain, at Inter Herrera perfected the catenaccio system, an ultra-defensive strategy that strangled Italian football in the 1960s. His team, which included libero Armando Picchi, Italian icon Giacinto Facchetti, the great midfielder Luis Suárez and international forward Sandro Mazzola, won three Scudettos in the mid-1960s and were only denied a third European Cup by Jock Stein’s Celtic in 1967.Comprehensively researched, HH reveals how Herrera surrounded himself with sinister men, including Dezsö Solti, a former kapo for Dr Josef Mengele in Auschwitz, and was the original master of the game’s dark arts. The psychological warfare he waged against other teams has seen him portrayed as the ‘original José Mourinho’ and he was distrusted by his peers, such as Santiago Bernabéu, and Bill Shankly, whose Liverpool side controversially lost to Inter in the 1965 European Cup semi-final.Herrera also exerted enormous mental and physical pressure on his own players. In Spain he introduced a regime of performance-enhancing drugs, and he continued this practice in Italy, which eventually led to his downfall. Having joined Roma in 1968, his role in the untimely death of their young striker, Giuliano Taccola, brought scrutiny of his methods. Taccola’s ‘white death’, or heart failure associated with alleged doping, led to Herrera being charged with manslaughter and his coaching career never recovered.Featuring interviews with those who knew Herrera well, including Fabio Capello, Sandro Mazzola, Ian St. John and Denis Law, HH is a fascinating story of deceit and intrigue, bloodshed, sex and glorious football, set against the backdrop of the Franco dictatorship in 1950s Spain and 1960s Italy’s la dolce vita era.

Radical Hospitality
Radical Hospitality addresses a timely and challenging subject for contemporary philosophy: the ethical responsibility of opening borders, psychic and physical, to the stranger. Kearney and Fitzpatrick show how radical hospitality happens by opening oneself in narrative exchange to someone or something other than ourselves—by crossing borders, whether literal or figurative. Against the fears, dogmas, and demands for certainty and security that push us toward hostility, we also desire to wager with the unknown, leap into the unanticipated, and celebrate the new, a desire this book seeks to recognize and cultivate. The book contends that hospitality means chancing one’s hand, one’s arm, one’s very self, thereby opening a vital space for new voices to be heard, shedding old skins, and welcoming new understandings.Radical Hospitality engages with urgent moral conversations concerning identity, nationality, immigration, commemoration, and justice, moving between theory and praxis and on to the formative life of the classroom. Building on key critical debates on the question of hospitality ranging from phenomenology, hermeneutics and deconstruction to neo-Kantian moral critique and Anglo-American virtue ethics, the book explores novel possibilities for an ethics of hospitality in our contemporary world of border anxiety, refugee crises, and ecological catastrophe.

Their work moves the field of Soviet history several large steps forward." —Slavic ReviewLenin's New Economic Policy of the 1920s, although a relatively free and open potential alternative to Soviet communism, was also a time of extreme tension, as Russian society and culture were rocked by the forces of resistance and change. These essays examine the social and cultural dimensions of NEP in urban and rural Russia in the years before Stalin and rapid industrialization.
