Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR'Viscerally vivid . . . a sucker-punch of a novel, edged with knife-sharp black humour and shot through with moments of startling beauty . . . half Tarantino and half pitch-black northern realism' Guardian'A tremendously exciting novel . . . A brilliantly realized voice: Steve's every utterance is the product of where he comes from . . . as blunt and brutal as the fells he works among' Times Literary Supplement'A spiky, precisely focused novel with flavour, intensity, and oodles of character' The Times'Preston's debut arrives like a punch to the gut . . . This is an elemental tale shaded in tones of heroism, machismo, moral intensity, and mythmaking. It's also a love song to the landscape . . . Gritty, gripping, and fearlessly committed' Kirkus'A blistering debut . . . This dark and inspired tale pulses with life' Publishers Weekly'Taught, intelligent and beautifully told' M. J. Hyland'A startlingly original addition to the literature of northern England' Ian McGuire'A powerful evocation of a landscape and a way of life' Joseph KanonWith foot and mouth disease spreading across the hills of Cumbria, emptying the valleys of sheep and filling the skies with smoke, two neighbouring shepherds lose everything and put aside their rivalry to join forces. They set their sights on a wealthy farm in the south with its flock of prize-winning animals. So begins the dark tale of Steve Elliman and William Herne. Their sheep rustling leads to more and more difficult decisions, and Steve's only distraction is his growing fascination with William's enigmatic and independent wife, Helen. As their home comes under the sway of a lawless outsider, it is left to Steve to save himself and Helen in a savage conflict that threatens an ancient way of life. Lyrical, cinematic and steeping in folklore, Scott Preston creates an uncompromising vision of farmers lost in brutal devotion to their flocks, the aching love affairs that men and women use to sustain themselves and the painful consequences of a breathtaking heist gone bad. The Borrowed Hills is a thrilling adventure that reimagines the American Western for the fells of northern England. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Notes on Style I admit I was a programmer before I started building robots. So my perspective may be so- what skewed in the direction of a programmer. However, I also didn't want this book to be from a purely software engineering perspective. I wanted to keep the text balanced between robotics and programming and not get too cute with either discipline, though from time to time I'm afraid I may have indulged myself. Who Should Read This Book If you want off-the-shelf robot components, free software, and development tools, this is the book for you. You can download all the software--it's GPL (General Public License) or Apache License--and you can purchase the components from your favorite robot supplier and/or hobby shop. The following sections outline the experience you should have to get the most out of the book. Your Programming/Java Experience I could say that you should have a good understanding of object-oriented techniques and Java before getting started with this book, but if you're like most roboticists, you'll likely learn as you go, and by following the various examples I've included within these pages.…
