Book Description
Vuzz is a warrior. A looter who has simple needs in life: to fight, to eat and to make love. Vuzz lives a world where ruined cities are home to zombies, giant rabbits, and salacious wizards. A world where everything is desolation and uncertainties. A world where Vuzz can ultimately only count on himself. Which suits him just fine… Featured in stunning black and white, this story is deliberately offbeat and humorous, utilizing a stripped-down narration and minimalist illustrations. In the other works of Philippe Druillet, Vuzz is a character like no other!

Magic in Grossland
Author: Woody Rowe
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 0738841048
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
This book should have great appeal for the 8 to 10 crowd, partly because of its slightly outrageous body-function humor. And parents should applaud its positive values. The title story features the plight of a shockingly handsome monster boy in a land of ugly monsters. To his shame, he resists joining in their humorously gross behavior. Then a beautiful witch (witches in Grossland are beautiful) aids him with a strange but temporary enchantment. And when he triumphs over the other monsters, he struggles against the urge to seek revenge . . . Next, “Dr. Pettibone” is visited by a girl and a boy with absurd problems. The bungling doctor offers little help, but notifies Endingman, a superhero-like character who fixes the endings of stories gone awry. Each time Endingman appears, the verse narration abruptly shifts to prose, suggesting another dimension. “Crazy-legs” is based on the Eastern tradition of holy men with magical powers. The zany monk in this tale may be deemed a sort of Drukpa Kunley (in Tibetan, Brugpa Kunlegs) for children. He exemplifies what is sometimes called “Crazy Wisdom.” Finally, “Birbal The Wise” is based on King Akbar of India’s legendary minister Birbal, whose wisdom enabled him to thwart the evil plots of jealous enemies.

Rotorcraft Aeromechanics
Author: Wayne Johnson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107028078
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 949
Book Description
A rotorcraft is a class of aircraft that uses large-diameter rotating wings to accomplish efficient vertical take-off and landing. The class encompasses helicopters of numerous configurations (single main rotor and tail rotor, tandem rotors, coaxial rotors), tilting proprotor aircraft, compound helicopters, and many other innovative configuration concepts. Aeromechanics covers much of what the rotorcraft engineer needs: performance, loads, vibration, stability, flight dynamics, and noise. These topics include many of the key performance attributes and the often-encountered problems in rotorcraft designs. This comprehensive book presents, in depth, what engineers need to know about modelling rotorcraft aeromechanics. The focus is on analysis, and calculated results are presented to illustrate analysis characteristics and rotor behaviour. The first third of the book is an introduction to rotorcraft aerodynamics, blade motion, and performance. The remainder of the book covers advanced topics in rotary wing aerodynamics and dynamics.
