The first Selected Poems of John Davidson for 30 years, this new selection brings together the best of his work both from the 1890s and his later materialist phase. Davidson has lately been reassessed, and he is now generally recognized to be a poet of major status, a precursor of the modernist movement, and the best Scottish poet between Robert Burns and Hugh MacDiarmid. This edition demonstrates the quality and breadth of Davidson's work, and also contains selections from his letters and prose writings, which shed new light on his life and aims as a poet. Widely admired as an early modern, Davidson's fascination with urban experience and the new technologies supplied a precedent for the Modernist movement. John Sloan's edition brings together the popular poems of the 1890s such as 'In Romney Marsh', 'London' and 'Thirty Bob a Week', and the ambitious and highly celebrated poems of his later years such as 'The Crystal Palace' and 'London Bridge', with their ironic observations of the London crowds. Also included are `The Thames Embankmente' with its materialistic blending of urban and natural landscape, and the moving and scientific `Snow'.
TCP/IP is currently the most important emerging protocol suite in the computer networking field. The need for connecting computers and other electronic devices together will grow exponentially, in industry as well as in academic and research environments. An introduction to TCP/IP describes the protocol suite according to the International Organization for Standards'(ISO) seven-level (OSI) reference model. It is a unique and valuable source of information for everybody interested or involved in local or wide-area computer networking projects. It is written by Dr. John Davidson at Ungermann/Bass, the world's largest manufacturer of local area networks.
From the remarkable man whose life inspired the heart-stopping film, ‘I Swear’, a book that offers extraordinary insight into what it’s like to live with a severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome: a fascinating, complex condition that’s more common than most of us think (1 in 100 schoolchildren have the condition), and yet is chronically misunderstood. Born in the 1970s on the Scottish Borders, John’s was twelve when his tics first arrived, as if from nowhere. Previously a happy, popular, football-mad boy he was labelled disruptive, rude, and even mad. As his condition progressed, from blinks and jerks to involuntary rude and obscene shouting, John was bullied, rejected - alienated from his family and a society that had no idea what to make of him. Hospitalized and drugged for months, it was only an extraordinary and transformative friendship, and John’s dogged optimism, that turned his life around, making I Swear an inspirational story of triumph over adversity. Through John’s eyes, we see Tourette’s not just as a medical condition, but as a lens through which we can all better understand the importance of human connection. And how essential, as well as ultimately rewarding, it can be to keep going and never give up.
‘Brave, shocking, funny and moving, I SWEAR opens our eyes to the reality of living with a complex condition. This is a really important book.’– RACHEL JOYCE, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Homemade GodFrom the remarkable man whose life inspired the heartstopping film, ‘I Swear’, a book that offers extraordinary insight into what it’s like to live with a severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome: a fascinating, complex condition that’s more common than most of us think ( 1 in 100 schoolchildren have the condition) , and yet is chronically misunderstood.

This is a true story of our childhood recollection of the rink rats growing up from grade school and my eventual walk with greatness with Wayne Gretzky and the promise he made to me at the end of our forty-minute stroll in 1983 in Winnipeg. The friendship and camaraderie that are forged that can become lifelong bonds. This ongoing retroactive tale of the "hero," and the importance they have in our lives growing up and the age-old adage of never judging anyone until you walk a mile in their shoes is dramatically underscored.
