Shadow Play is the spellbinding continuation of the story started in Shadow Dance. This second book of the Shadow Saga carries the adventure to a whole new level of danger and intrigue! The next steps of the prophecy are moving toward fruition and the world hangs in the balance. Dark forces reveal their plots as the forces of good struggle to uncover them. At each turn, those aligned with light are cut off from their own and lost in the chaos that surrounds them.

Within all of this, Namir and his friends find themselves consumed by enemies, burdened by woes and thrust into the fray against their will. Namir must find the courage to face those who would stop him from fulfilling his fate. All the while, his best friend, Nurn, searches valiantly to find his missing brother.

Novelist John Harrison has captured the feeling of adventure in this new novel set in a dark time. A prophecy cast from the dawn of time is coming to be fulfilled in a time when almost all hope of salvation is lost. The lands are in chaos and everyone is trying to survive. The last queen was slain through treachery and decades have passed since there has been any form of solid rule in Cennicus. In the interim the races have split from one another and are amassing for a war that threatens to consume them all. This is a time of legends and need. Somehow wrapped up in it all is one boy searching for his past and the keys to his future. Namir and his friends valiantly search out vestiges of his father's past...a trek that may lead them into the very heart of darkness itself. This is the first book of the Shadow Saga, a must read for any fantasy enthusiast. Join with us as we explore the darkness that is Cennicus. Will they lead us to salvation? Or deeper into the very darkness we seek to escape?

The purpose of this Paperback is to start a debate about the real problem of how we should educate our young people. It is based on the book 'Chance of a Lifetime: How the other half loses' by Jonathan Langdale and John Harrison. To be winners today, young people have to be 'good at school' (or very lucky). Clearly, a great many of them aren't 'good at school', but we believe they are all good at something. Because the Great and the Good became the Great and the Good because they were 'good at school', the received wisdom is that their kind of academic schooling is good for everyone - it must be! Look how successful they are! Thus the 'best schools' must be facsimiles of their schools and schoolchildren must all be judged by their standards - the gold standards of GCSE A*-C and 'A' Levels followed by university. If only everyone was as academically clever as they are, wouldn't the world be a better place? And the children who fail at their kind of schooling are just that - failures. Over the years we have blamed the failure of secondary education on: . The governors . The head teachers . The teachers and above all... . The pupils. 'Chance of a Lifetime' shows that: . It isn't the governors . It isn't the head teachers . It isn't the teachers and . It certainly isn't the pupils It's the academically focussed secondary school itself. You can join the debate as soon as this website's Messages Forum is up and running in a few weeks' time/by the end of March 2007 and the book is available to purchase. Join the debate by adding your voice to the growing number who want to give hope to all our young people through an education that is right for them as individuals.

The sheer complexity of computer systems has meant that automated reasoning, i.e. the ability of computers to perform logical inference, has become a vital component of program construction and of programming language design. This book meets the demand for a self-contained and broad-based account of the concepts, the machinery and the use of automated reasoning. The mathematical logic foundations are described in conjunction with practical application, all with the minimum of prerequisites. The approach is constructive, concrete and algorithmic: a key feature is that methods are described with reference to actual implementations (for which code is supplied) that readers can use, modify and experiment with. This book is ideally suited for those seeking a one-stop source for the general area of automated reasoning. It can be used as a reference, or as a place to learn the fundamentals, either in conjunction with advanced courses or for self study.
