The Georgian Bracket Clock, 1714-1830
Of the many superior clocks made in England from 1714 to 1830, the majority were bracket clocks. In this definitive volume, Richard Barder, a retired dealer, shares his knowledge and admiration for these fascinating clocks. He discusses case making and the specialists linked to the clock maker, the workings of the Clockmakers' Company, the development of the bracket clock in the Georgian period, notable makers, lacquer-based bracket clocks, the export trade, and the purchase, repair and restoration of bracket clocks. The Georgian Bracket Clock has been acknowledged as the best single reference book on the subject and is essential for all dealers, collectors and students of horology..

Bracket: A New Generation in Fiction
Continuing a project to bring the best in UK short fiction to readers around the world, Bracket is the latest in an acclaimed series of short story anthologies that includes Comma and Hyphen. Bringing together 20 of the UK's most innovative, fresh, and previously unpublished writers ranging from recent creative writing graduates to writers already established in other fields, the collection bristles with diverse voices, from the comic to the tragic and the ambiguous spaces in between. From the cliffs of Flamborough Head to high-rise, inner-city madness; from lost loves to the last days of civilization—the varied settings and scenarios in these stories captivate and unsettle in equal measure. These are stories written in the dark, spoken without much hope of being heard, but all the time striving for intimacy. .

Control Theory from the Geometric Viewpoint
This book presents some facts and methods of Mathematical Control Theory treated from the geometric viewpoint. It is devoted to finite-dimensional deterministic control systems governed by smooth ordinary differential equations. The problems of controllability, state and feedback equivalence, and optimal control are studied. Some of the topics treated by the authors are covered in monographic or textbook literature for the first time while others are presented in a more general and flexible setting than elsewhere. Although being fundamentally written for mathematicians, the authors make an attempt to reach both the practitioner and the theoretician by blending the theory with applications. They maintain a good balance between the mathematical integrity of the text and the conceptual simplicity that might be required by engineers. It can be used as a text for graduate courses and will become most valuable as a reference work for graduate students and researchers. .
