Wingbeats: Exercises & Practice in Poetry is an exciting collection from poets who teach both in and outside academia. Fifty-eight poets in various stages of their careers have contributed sixty-one exercises ranging from quick and simple to involved and multi-layered. In seven chapters, ranging from "Springboards to Imagination" to "Chancing the Accidental" to "Complicating the Poem," each exercise includes not only clear step-by-step instructions, but numerous poems that exemplify the successful completion of the exercise. Wingbeats, edited by Scott Wiggerman and David Meischen, includes exercises for working in pairs and/or groups, for incorporating research and/or the Internet, for writing outdoors, for creating a hands-on experience. Of course, traditional poetic techniques covering metaphor, persona, forms, and revision are also included. Wingbeats is destined to become a standard instructional book in every poet's library.

Wingbeats and Heartbeats is a wingshooter's odyssey to the wild places where, at the end of the day, the companionship of faithful gun dogs and good friends matters more than a bulging game bag. In this sometimes humorous and sometimes poignant collection of essays, Dave Books celebrates a time-honored connection to the land and the hard-earned hunting rewards of an outdoor life. Through these essays, readers tag along on adventures in the forests of Wisconsin and Minnesota, the fields of Iowa and North Dakota, the prairies of eastern Montana and Nebraska, the mountains of western Montana and Idaho, and the deserts of Arizona. Books also writes of the game birds that hunters pursue and admire: grouse, quail, woodcock, doves, chukars, Hungarian partridge, and waterfowl. A heartfelt tribute to the freedom and magic of the hunt, Wingbeats and Heartbeats is a book that has much to say about work and fun, success and failure, and the sights, sounds, and smells of a day afield.

WINGBEATS II: EXERCISES & PRACTICE IN POETRY, the eagerly awaited follow-up to the original WINGBEATS, is an exciting collection from teaching poets—58 poets, 59 exercises. Whether you want a quick exercise to jump-start the words or multi-layered approaches that will take you deeper into poetry, WINGBEATS II is for you. The exercises include clear step-by-step instruction and numerous example poems, including work by Lucille Clifton, Li-Young Lee, Cleopatra Mathis, Ezra Pound, Kenneth Rexroth, Patricia Smith, William Carlos Williams, and others. You will find exercises for collaborative writing, for bending narrative into new poetic shapes, for experimenting with persona, for writing nonlinear poems. For those interested in traditional elements, WINGBEATS II includes exercises on the sonnet, as well as approaches to meter, line breaks, syllabics, and more. Like its predecessor, WINGBEATS II will be a standard in creative writing classes, a standard go-to in every poet's library.

'Wingbeats' was an ambitous cultural project inspired by our perennial wish to fly and the paradoxical question: how can we fly without leaving the ground? Over a period of two years, the project brought together international and UK artists, school children, university students and residents of the East Riding to create two ambitous operas performed in Leeds and Bridlington. For this book, Adam Strickson, lead artist for Wingbeats, has compiled a fascinating selection of material from the project including poems, excerpts from diaries and blogs, and the full texts of both operas.

Analytical models of avian flight have previously been used to predict mechanical and metabolic power consumption during cruise. These models are limited, in that they neglect details of wing kinematics, and model power by assuming a fixed or rotary wing (actuator disk) weight support mechanism. Theoretical methods that incorporate wing kinematics potentially offer more accurate predictions of power consumption by calculating instantaneous aerodynamic loads on the wing. However, the success of these models inherently depends on the availability and accuracy of experimental kinematic data. The predictive simulation approach offers an alternative strategy, whereby kinematics are neither neglected nor measured experimentally, but calculated as part of the solution procedure. This thesis describes the development of a predictive tool for simulating avian wingbeat kinematics and wakes. The tool is designed in a modular format, in order to be extensible for future research in the biomechanics community. The primary simulation module is an inverse dynamic avian wing model that predicts aerodynamic forces and mechanical power consumption for given wing kinematics. The model is constructed from previous experimental studies of avian wing biomechanics. Wing motion is defined through joint kinematic time histories, and aerodynamic forces are predicted using blade element momentum theory. Mechanical power consumption at the shoulder joint is derived from both aerodynamic and inertial torque components associated with the shoulder joint rotation rate. An optimisation module is developed to determine wing kinematics that generate aerodynamic loads for propulsion and weight support in given flight conditions, while minimising mechanical power consumption. For minimum power cruise, optimisation reveals numerous local minima solutions that exhibit large variations in wing kinematics. Validation of the model against wind tunnel data shows that optimised solutions capture qualitative trends in wing kinematics with varying cruise speed. Sensitivity analyses show that the model outputs are most affected by the defined maximum lift coefficient and wing length, whereby perturbations in these parameters lead to significant changes in the predicted amount of upstroke wing retraction. Optimised solutions for allometrically scaled bird models show only small differences in predicted advance ratio, which is consistent with field study observations. Accelerating and climbing flight solutions also show similar qualitative trends in wing kinematics to experimental measurements, including a reduction in stroke plane inclination for increasing acceleration or climb angle. The model predicts that both climb angle and climb speed should be greater for birds with more available instantaneous mechanical power. Simulations of the wake using a discrete vortex model capture fundamental features of the wake geometry that have been observed experimentally. Reconstruction of the velocity field shows that this method overpredicts induced velocity in retracting-wing wakes, and should therefore only be applied to extended-wing phases of an avian wingbeat.

Riverwords WingbeatsTractatesPoetic and Prosaic; Riverwords is the author's poetic reality in verses - free style and classic rhythmic - intense moments lived, going through questions and answers, without clue and key, eventually giving up, summoned in mind peace, leaving as is. Wingbeats is about an observation of things. The author sees the world and understands it from the angle of her own; no doctrine or format. "I follow the eaglet's track: try to fly, falling, daring, soaring, failing -with no regrets," is the author's signature.
