This book forms an introduction to important aspects of shock-wave propagation in solid materials. Emphasis is on the regime of moderate compression that can be produced by high-velocity impact or detonation of chemical explosives. In this regime relatively simple equations of state are applicable to the description of compression. Solids may also experience inelastic flow, in which elastic–plastic deformation becomes important. The theory provided is that required to conduct research in the field and to pursue its applications to ordnance development, Earth and planetary sciences, mate

L’Etranger has the force and fascination of myth. The outwardly simple narrative of an office clerk who kills an Arab, ’a cause du soleil’, and finds himself condemned to death for moral insensibility becomes, in Camus’s hands, a powerful image of modern man’s impatience before Christian philosophy and conventional social and sexual values. For this new edition Ray Davison makes use of recent critical analysis of L’Etranger to give a full and concise description of Camus’s early philosophy of the Absurd and the ideas and preoccupations from which the n

When Alain-Fournier was killed in battle on the Meuse in 1914, he left behind Le Grand Meaulnes, a novel of wistful enchantment. The tale is recounted by François Seurel, whose father heads the village school where Augustin Meaulnes comes to board. A tall, somber youth of 17, he instantly becomes the class ringleader, and is soon known as le grand Meaulnes. When the youth sets off on an impetuous errand of a few hours and doesn’t return for several days, events take a darker turn. After Meaulnes’s reappearance, Seurel notices his companion’s unrest, and tries to uncover its
