New Releases by Roger Moore

"Beneath my balcony, the handy man tumble-dries a tv advertisement in the washing machine of his song sparrow throat. An old man now, I dream of white rabbits, running down tunnels, far from the hunter''s hands. The alarm clock shuffles its pack of sleeping hours: a clicking of claws, needles knitting outwards towards death''s guillotine while the sharp beaks of roosters dig for the dawn." At the Edge of Obsidian is the second book in The Oaxacan Trilogy. It was first published in 2005 and outlines the events of a single day in the City of Oaxaca (Mexico). I have always loved the Liturgical Books of Hours and wondered if they would transfer into a Secular Book of Hours based on a day in a place with which I was familiar. This is my effort to do just that. Obsidian''s Edge begins at daybreak with church bells and early morning street sounds that shake the sleeper from his dreams. It continues with the bells awakening the sleeper for yet another day.

"They tore down our walls," Mono whispered, "stone by stone. A new church they built on the land they stole from us." These opening lines begin the verbal adventure of Sun and Moon. Written in Oaxaca, Mexico, between 1995 and 1999, the poems tell some of the tales of the voiceless, of the conquered, of the displaced, of the survivors, of the people who eat and sleep in the streets of Oaxaca, spinning their myths and legends and recalling their oral histories and memories. Sun and Moon traces the relationships between two civilizations, the indigenous and the conquerors, from the first contacts between Europeans and the people of the Oaxaca Valley up to the modern day interactions between locals and tourists. In these pages, some of the ancient ceremonies and beliefs, as described by indigenous people, are brought back to life in vivid images and colorful metaphors, so sharp, they can be grasped between the fingers and examined by the light of the sun by day and the moon by night. The multiple voices in the poems are those of human beings who, like the author, himself an émigré, find themselves in exile, lost, abandoned, and displaced. As the final character cries out in the final poem: "You do not worship at our sacred places ... you don''t know even know the meaning of my name."

This material was developed for the second term of the first year calculus-based, introductory physics course at the University of Alberta. It contains a richer, more in-depth mathematical treatment of the material than many standard texts for first year courses and starts with the assumption that the reader is already familiar with calculus of polynomials and trigonometric and exponential functions. The book has the following chapters each of which has its own end of chapter problems: Mathematics - Complex numbers, complex exponentials, partial derivatives, experimental uncertainties. Elasticity - Stress, strain, moduli of elasticity, bulk stress, strain and modulus Fluid Statics - pressure, Pascal''s law, measuring pressures, Archimedes'' principle Fluid Dynamics - continuity equation, Bernoulli''s equation, Torricelli''s law, viscosity, Poiseuille''s law, Stokes'' law Oscillations - simple harmonic motion, simple and compound pendulums, damped harmonic motion, driven oscillators Waves - types of waves, mathematical description of a wave, waves on a string, acoustic waves, wave power and intensity Wave Interactions - principle of superposition, reflection at a boundary, interference, beats, standing waves, the relativistic and non-relativistic doppler effect Light Waves - basic geometric optics, Huyghens'' principle, dispersion, polarization, thin film interference, diffraction Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - atomic spectra, blackbody spectrum, photo-electric effect, Bohr atom, de Broglie wavelength, Schrodinger equation In addition there are two appendices which cover some of the more mathematically challenging topics in detail: Wave Equations - derivation and general solution of the partial differential wave equation, derivation of the pressure and displacement wave equation for acoustic waves Blackbody Spectrum - 2D and 3D standing waves, density of states for a cavity, calculation of Planck''s spectrum, derivation of Wien''s displacement law

Becoming Slender For Life offers a different way to think about weight release and management. Roger Moore suggests healthy eating strategies, with an emphasis on low-fat, high-starch eating. He also recommends reinventing yourself as a flexitarian-someone who is not overly rigid about food choices, and allows for occasional indulgences on holidays, birthdays and so on. And, of course, there is no avoiding the importance of exercise, though he does offer some unconventional ideas about adding more movement to your life. What really separates this diet book from the rest is the addition of self-hypnosis techniques, which are absolutely safe and easy to learn. Using an innovative one-minute exercise, anyone can make time for this powerful component several times a day. Mastering these techniques empowers you to reinforce your healthy new lifestyle habits for the rest of your life, plus you can use these same techniques to makes changes in any other area of your life.Filled with visualization and journal exercises, the book presents a highly practical and fresh approach to a chronic problem. Other topics covered include:* Evaluating your readiness for change* Understanding how your brain works* Giving yourself hypnotic suggestions* Dealing with family and peer pressures* Silencing negative mind chatter* Looking behind your protective layers* Discovering your emotional motivators* Counteracting food cravings* Learning the true meaning of what you eat* Getting a grip on stress* Debunking food myths* Coping with eating out, holidays and special occasions* Overcoming resistance to healthier eating* Finding what motivates you to move* Making exercise actually fun-really!* Creating good habits* Releasing 100 pounds or more* Correcting your course when you wander off* Squelching saboteurs* Taming temptations

In Didactic Approaches for Teachers of English in an Internacional Context, the editors have selected articles that provide an overview of the current methodology of integrated language and culture instruction, with the understanding that the English language is completely embedded within a broader cultural framework. The papers further define this topic into creative inter-cultural approaches to teaching, including: content-based instruction in English through CLIL, holistic language-learning for children, the parallel development of linguistic and cultural competence, and a study of language structures and discourse.

Knap, zelfverzekerd en in alle opzichten de typisch Engelse gentleman: Roger Moore speelde de hoofdrol in een paar onvergetelijke films en tv-series. Maar het bekendst is hij als de hoffelijkste 007 in de geschiedenis van de James Bond-films, een rol die hij zevenmaal speelde, onder meer in Live and Let Die en For Your Eyes Only. Zijn hele persoonlijkheid straalt stijl en het goede leven uit, en hij heeft wereldwijd miljoenen fans. Nu publiceert Roger Moore zijn memoires. Voor de allereerste keer kijkt hij terug op zijn bekendste rollen, en hoe het was om samen te werken met sterren als Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Lana Turner, Michael Caine en Sean Connery. Hij vertelt over zijn persoonlijke leven, met herinneringen aan zijn jeugd in Londen, de Tweede Wereldoorlog, zijn vier huwelijken en zijn kinderen. Ook is hij zeer openhartig over zijn strijd tegen prostaatkanker. Voor altijd James Bond is een eerlijke, geestige en ontwapenende autobiografie, zo interessant en kleurrijk als het leven van Roger Moore zelf altijd is geweest.
