Now he's operating outside the law and he's out for revenge, then he plans to join his wife and children.

    Taking a new approach to strucural design, Ching and his co-authors show how structural systems of a building -- as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale -- are related to the essential aspects of architectural design: formal and spatial composition, program fit, coordination with other building systems such as enclosure and mechanical systems, code compliance, etc.No other work by Francis D.K. Ching brings together so many aspects of architectural design as an integrated reference. Designers, builders, and students alike will gain a new understanding of structural principles and planning, without the need for mathematics.Using Ching's trademark presentation, Structural Patterns is illustrated throughout with line drawings to present the essential presence of structural systems in buildings, but also helps the reader make informed decisions for architectural design.

     A self-taught geographer, hydrographer and navigator, Dampier was also a keen natural historian who showed his contemporaries then-unknown regions of the world, and vividly described the exotic creatures and plants that inhabited them without exaggeration. Impressing the Admiralty with his book, A New Voyage round the World, Dampier was given command of the infamous Roebuck expedition and became the first Englishman to explore parts of Australia. But Dampier's past reared its head when he employed acquaintances from his buccaneering days, and numerous problems beset him along the way; upon his eventual return Dampier was court-martialled for cruelty. Though he lived and worked like a buccaneer Dampier filled in blank spaces on the map, and in pioneering the seaways he opened up the oceans for exploration, thus laying the foundations for the British Empire. Although lauded in his day and going on to influence many in both literary and scientific spheres, Dampier died in obscurity and his name, associated with piracy, disappeared for many years. Comprehensive and compellingly told, Anton Gill's biography charts the life and endeavours of William Dampier, his successes and his failings, and reinstates him into the pantheon of great explorers. Anton Gill has been a freelance writer since 1984, specialising in European contemporary history but latterly branching out into historical fiction. He is the winner of the H H Wingate Award for non-fiction for 'The Journey Back From Hell'. He is also the author of 'Into Darkness', 'Dance Between the Flames' and 'An Honourable Defeat'. 'The Devil's Mariner' was his first biography.

     Ellie Michaels works in a junk shop masquerading as a destination for fine antiques. With as small as Mulholland is, it’s quite literally the only opening she could find. Almost content in her tiny world, Ellie sits behind her counter and watches life pass her by. That is, until billionaire CEO Nikolai Scipio comes crashing into Ellie’s world. Nikolai “Nick” Scipio is overseeing the construction of his company’s new headquarters. The problem is neither the board, nor the majority of investors are behind the move. With his decision to move the headquarters of his multi-billion dollar corporation, Stingray, to Mulholland, a place where dreams go to die and business goes never, it’s just the excuse the board needs to start making life very difficult for Nick. Only, they don’t know the real reason Nick is in Mulholland. Charmed (and more than a little disoriented) by Nick, Ellie eventually relents and accepts his invitation to dinner. She doesn’t know anything about business, much less what’s about to happen at Stingray, but there’s something so familiar in the way Nick looks at her. When rumors start circulating about why Nick is really in Mulholland, Ellie and Nick will have to pull together or be torn apart. *This sexy alpha billionaire romance is perfect for fans of Cassie Cross, Hannah Ford, Deborah Bladon, Kendall Ryan, Lauren Blakely, and J.S. Scott*
