This book surveys our understanding of stars which change in brightness because they pulsate. Pulsating variable stars are keys to distance scales inside and beyond the Milky Way galaxy. They test our understanding not only of stellar pulsation theory but also of stellar structure and evolution theory. Moreover, pulsating stars are important probes of the formation and evolution of our own and neighboring galaxies. Our understanding of pulsating stars has greatly increased in recent years as large-scale surveys of pulsating stars in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies have provided a wealth of new observations and as space-based instruments have studied particular pulsating stars in unprecedented detail.

The history of Whitstable Castle. The Castle as it is now known has had many names - The Manor, The Towers, Tankerton Towers and finally Whitstable Castle - the name it acquired in 1934 when it became the offices of the Whitstable Urban District Council. It was built as a home, not a castle in the true sense of being a fortified structure in the style of Dover, Rochester, Leeds and others. It is a building with a chequered past, linked to the industrial history and development of not only the town but the world. This book looks at the lives, times and impact the owners had on the house, and on Whitstable, and is the result of a great deal of in-depth research.
