The story behind one of the UK's largest O gauge model railway layouts.

Description Following the success of John's debut collection "Like a Fine Piece of China", this second collection sees a mind returning to full "normality", after a massive mental breakdown. We see an author finding his feet again, and notice a much more positive approach to the daily grind.About the AuthorBorn in Cappamore, Co. Limerick, Ireland, in 1947, John has experienced mental health issues and been through the system, since a savage sexual assault in the workplace 6 years ago. One thing's for sure: writing was the one constant in an otherwise very inconstant series of experiences; John found the discipline of writing to be very therapeutic indeed, and is writing to this day.

Description This collection of poems epitomises the journey of a mind experiencing a nervous breakdown.Deeply felt and to the point, John addresses the specifics of his mental processes from the very start.

John, now 63, is determined to recover that he hopes to begin a Degree at University in September 2010, reading Anthropology and Sociology.This volume is dedicated to those who suffered with him during his three-time stay in a mental institution.

Contains the description of the applications of Clifford algebras in analysis, particularly classical harmonic analysis. This volume gives an account of the links between Clifford algebras, monogenic and harmonic functions and the correspondence between monogenic functions and holomorphic functions of several variables under Fourier transforms.
