The problem of motion of extended bodies in General Relativity is notorious for its analytical difficulty, but at the same time highly relevant for comparison of theoretical predictions with modern precision measurements in relativistic astrophysics and cosmology. Its one of the most important topics in General Relativity and its application to astrophysics.We focus attention on two aspects of equations of motion in general relativity: the motion of extended bodies (stars) and the motion of small black holes. Our objective is to offer a guide to prospective researchers into these areas of general relativity and to point out open questions and topics that are ripe for further development. It is over forty years since a text on this subject was published and in that time the research area of equations of motion in general relativity has undergone extraordinary development, stimulated by the discovery of the binary neutron star PSR 1913+16 in 1974 (which was the first isolated gravitating system found in which general relativity plays a fundamental role in describing theoretically its evolution), and more recently by the advent of kilometre size interferometric gravitational wave detectors which are expected to detect gravitational waves produced by coalescing binary neutron stars.

The indispensable consumers'' guide to the music of Nick Drake. A thorough analysis of every officially released album by Drake, from the early albums that were largely overlooked at the time of their release in the late Sixties and early Seventies to more recent posthumous collections. Peter Hogan is among the few contemporary aficionados of Nick Drake who actually bought his records in the early Seventies when they were first released. He is an experienced music writer who has contributed to Melody Maker, Vox and Uncut, and is the author of books on The Doors, R.E.M. and The Velvet Underground.

The Velvet Underground were one of the most influential bands in rock sowing the seeds for punk, grunge and thousands of countercultural four-chord wonders. Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Moe Tucker mixed arty experimentation with primal rock'n'roll. Joined by the ice queen singer Nico and infamously managed by Andy Warhol, the Velvets brought the hip decadence of Sixties New York to the world.

Sean Phillips is the multi Eisner Award-winning artist of Criminal, Kill Or Be Killed, Reckless, Fatale, Night Fever, Pulp, Where The Body Was, The Fade Out, Velvet, Sleeper, Incognito, Marvel Zombies, Kid Eternity and Hellblazer. In a career that has so far spanned more than 30 years, he has recieved awards and acclaim at every turn. But before his stand-out career in the US, Sean did some of his earliest work for 2000 AD - The Galaxy's Greatest Comic and its sister publication the Judge Dredd Megazine. He co-created fan-favourite characters Devlin Waugh and Armitage as well as drawing for classic strips Judge Dredd and Sinister/Dexter. This collection forms a retrospective of Phillips' work for 2000 AD and shows how his art evolved from the fully painted work and collage of the early 1990s, to the familiar style he employs on hit books today.
