Now Dig This: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern, 1950–1995 (Terry Southern Ser.)
by Terry SouthernAn unforgettable chronicle of an era by one of America&’s wildest—and most brilliant—comedic and literary minds Edited by Nile Southern and Josh Alan FriedmanStarting with his landing at the Battle of the Bulge, Terry Southern showed a knack for winding up in the world&’s most interesting places. He spent the fifties on the Left Bank of Paris, the sixties in mod London, and the seventies touring with the Rolling Stones. When the Beatles rolled out their famous pantheon of movers and shakers for the cover of Sgt. Pepper, Terry was the only guy wearing shades. When police broke heads during the &’68 democratic convention in Chicago, Southern was there to bear witness. And when Stanley Kubrick needed someone to make Dr. Strangelove funny, there was only one man qualified for the job. As the golden age of rock &’n&’ roll wound down, Southern never stopped writing, and his prose never lost its trademark intensity. Filthy, fierce, and relentlessly dazzling, these letters, essays, stories, and interviews are an electric testament to one of the keenest wits of the twentieth century. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Terry Southern including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&’s estate.
Now I'm Catching On: My Life On and Off the Air
by Stephen Brunt Bob ColeHockey's most famous voice, now in his own words.If you are a hockey fan, you know Bob Cole's legendary voice. He has done the play-by-play for some of hockey's best-remembered games, including the Summit Series, Canada's gold-medal game in Salt Lake City, and twenty years of Stanley Cup finals. The infectious excitement in his voice, his boyish love of the game, and his uncanny ability to anticipate the play have earned him the affection of generations of fans, induction into the Hall of Fame, and the unofficial title of best hockey broadcaster ever. Now, for the first time, readers will see Cole at the centre of the story rather than watching it from the broadcast booth. We meet the young man growing up in Newfoundland in the years before it joins Canada. We see him talk his way into Foster Hewitt's office and into his first job. And of course we see some of the most cherished players in the game backstage: on the plane back from Russia in 1972, rubbing elbows with Bobby Orr; in the hallway on the old Montreal Forum, running into Jean Beliveau; meeting young players like Steve Stamkos, who grew up listening to him on Hockey Night in Canada. Written with the expert help of massively bestselling author and respected broadcaster Stephen Brunt, these stories come to life with the charm and detail of a conversation with Cole. They sound like Cole. No one has been closer to the game over the years than Cole, and no one is more closely associated with all we love about the game than the man whose eyes we've seen it though. Now we will see so much more through those same eyes and in that unforgettable voice.

Numerical Simulation Algorithm of Electromagnetic Field for Grounding Problems in Power System Substation Grounding Grids
by Zhong-Xin LiThis book focuses on numerical methods for grounding problems in substation grounding systems, which are rooted in horizontal multilayered earth models. The book discusses both theories and engineering applications and provides case studies to verify the accuracy of the methods introduced. Up to ten horizontal multilayered soil models were considered. This book employs numerical algorithms for Galerkin&’s method, including Galerkin&’s method of moments, Galerkin&’s boundary element method, and hybrid algorithms based on a variety of basis functions that have emerged as a result of simplifying Galerkin&’s method of moments. These numerical methods include both frequency and time domain algorithms that can be used to numerically simulate transient and steady state grounding problems in substation grounding grids. The most outstanding feature of this book is the incorporation of the frequency- and time-domain quasi-static complex imaging method (QSCIM) for point current sources in layered conducting media and its closed-form Green&’s function, as well as analytical algorithms for calculating the spatial two-dimensional line integrals of mutual impedances and inductances into numerical algorithmic modeling of electromagnetic fields, which greatly improves computational speed and accuracy.

O / Exorcismos de esti(l)o
by Guillermo Cabrera InfanteDos libros experimentales reunidos en un volumen en el que brilla el inigualable talento lúdico de Guillermo Cabrera Infante En este volumen conviven dos libros próximos en el tiempo de Guillermo Cabrera Infante: la colección de artículos y ensayos O, publicada originalmente en 1975, y el libro de piezas experimentales Exorcismos de esti(l)o, aparecido en 1976. En el primero, el autor despliega su peculiar ingenio creador, en ocasiones satírico y burlón, para describir facetas de su cotidianidad y de la vida contemporánea, haciendo referencia a protagonistas tan diversos como su inigualable gato Offenbach y los miembros de la policía secreta. En Exorcismos, una colección repleta de saber clásico y sarcásticas investigaciones literarias, brilla el talento lúdico del Cabrera Infante, así como su obsesión por las sorpresas del lenguaje, plasmada en una serie de retruécanos, juegos de palabras multilingües e ingeniosas manipulaciones tipográficas que evocan a e.e. cummings y al OuLiPo. La crítica ha dicho:«Guillermo Cabrera Infante era un grandísimo escritor.»Mario Vargas Llosa «Uno de los mayores y mejores renovadores de la prosa en castellano, un clásico de vanguardia.»Fernando Savater «Su talento verbal era extraordinario, tanto de viva voz como por escrito, aunque esto último lo sepa cualquiera que haya leído sus libros.»Javier Marías «Cabrera Infante trajo al sector desarraigado a la fuerza de Cuba las virtudes de la parodia, la sátira y el humor.»José Miguel Oviedo, Letras Libres

O mundo pelos olhos da língua
by Manuel MonteiroUm novo livro de Manuel Monteiro, em defesa da língua, contra as falácias e os erros que a dominam. Manuel Monteiro gosta da língua portuguesa. Gosta particularmente quando é bem falada - o que nem sempre acontece na forma como nos expressamos no nosso quotidiano ou mesmo naquilo que ouvimos na televisão e na rádio. No seu novo livro, Manuel Monteiro ensina-nos a pensar com clareza e a evitar determinadas falácias e erros comuns no nosso discurso. Porque pensamento e linguagem são indissociáveis, e quando um é claro, o outro é claríssimo. Os Portugueses deixaram de se intitular, passaram a auto-intitular-se. O Português já não se proclama coisa alguma; ele autoproclama-se. De ego inflado, o Português reluz. Convenhamos: tem mais pinta. Repare: ele não se domina nem se controla; ele autodomina-se e autocontrola-se. É outra loiça. CRÍTICA A POR AMOR À LÍNGUA «Este livro diverte, ensina, corrige, chama a atenção, ilustra, melhora-nos, dá vontade de ler - é um achado. É um elogio da nossa língua. Ninguém se sinta atacado. Estamos sempre a aprender. Bravo Manuel Monteiro (que não conheço) que o escreveu.» Francisco José Viegas «Por Amor à Língua é um livro chocante e salvífico. Manuel Monteiro não está a debater questiúnculas estilísticas - está a lutar contra a maneira como a grande maioria dos portugueses usa a língua.» Miguel Esteves Cardoso, Público «Uma obra em defesa da complexidade e beleza do Português que escrevemos. Missão mais nobre não há.» Expresso «Manuel Matos Monteiro é autor de um notável trabalho de vigilância da Portuguesa língua.» António Jacinto Pascoal, Público

Oath Keepers: Patriotism and the Edge of Violence in a Right-Wing Antigovernment Group
by Professor Sam JacksonSince 2008, the American patriot/militia movement—right-wing antigovernment groups who portray themselves as fighting encroaching tyranny—has grown exponentially. Oath Keepers is among the most visible and vocal of these organizations. Formed in 2009, Oath Keepers gained notoriety for its involvement in the Bundy Ranch standoff of 2014 and the Malheur Refuge occupation of 2016. The group gives voice to a recurrent form of American politics: virulent distrust of the government combined with a valorization of violence.Sam Jackson takes readers inside the world of the most prominent antigovernment group in the United States, examining its extensive online presence to discover how it builds support for its political goals and actions. Through an extensive textual analysis of the group’s publications, Jackson explores how Oath Keepers draws on core American political values and pivotal historical moments of conflict and crisis from the Revolutionary War to Waco to Hurricane Katrina to cast its adherents as defenders of liberty. He details how Oath Keepers makes sense of the contemporary United States, how it provides members with models of political behavior, and how it lobbies the wider American public to join the group. The first book-length investigation of the contemporary patriot/militia movement, Oath Keepers sheds new light on what animates groups that pose a growing threat to American security and political culture.
Obama: The Historic Presidency In Photographs
by Barack Obama Pete Souza<P>Relive the extraordinary Presidency of Barack Obama through White House photographer Pete Souza's behind-the-scenes images and stories--some published here for the first time--with a foreword from the President himself.During Barack Obama's two terms, Pete Souza was with the President during more crucial moments than anyone else--and he photographed them all. Souza captured nearly two million photographs of President Obama, in moments highly classified and disarmingly candid. <P>Obama: An Intimate Portrait reproduces more than 300 of Souza's most iconic photographs with fine-art print quality in an oversize collectible format. Together they document the most consequential hours of the Presidency--including the historic image of President Obama and his advisors in the Situation Room during the bin Laden mission--alongside unguarded moments with the President's family, his encounters with children, interactions with world leaders and cultural figures, and more. <P>Souza's photographs, with the behind-the-scenes captions and stories that accompany them, communicate the pace and power of our nation's highest office. They also reveal the spirit of the extraordinary man who became our President. We see President Obama lead our nation through monumental challenges, comfort us in calamity and loss, share in hard-won victories, and set a singular example to "be kind and be useful," as he would instruct his daughters. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>
Objectively Engaged Journalism: An Ethic (McGill-Queen's Studies in the History of Ideas #78)
by Stephen J.A. WardA timely call for a new ethic of journalism engagement for today's troubled media sphere, Objectively Engaged Journalism argues that media should be neither neutral nor partisan but engaged in protecting egalitarian democracy. It shows how journalists, professional or citizen, can be both objective in method and dedicated to improving a global public sphere toxic with disinformation, fake news, and extremism. Drawing from history, ethics, and current media issues, Stephen Ward rejects the ideals of neutrality and "just the facts" objectivity, showing how they are based on invalid dualistic thinking with deep roots in Western culture. He presents a theory of pragmatic objectivity and applies it to journalism. Journalism's role in interpreting culture, he argues, needs a form of objectivity that embraces human strengths and limitations. Defining responsible journalism as situated, imperfect inquiry, Objectively Engaged Journalism is one of the first systematic studies of the ethical foundations of engaged journalism for a media that is increasingly perspectival and embedded in society.

Observer Design for Nonlinear Systems (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences #479)
by Pauline BernardObserver Design for Nonlinear Systems deals with the design of observers for the large class of nonlinear continuous-time models. It contains a unified overview of a broad range of general designs, including the most recent results and their proofs, such as the homogeneous and nonlinear Luenberger design techniques. The book starts from the observation that most observer designs consist in looking for a reversible change of coordinates transforming the expression of the system dynamics into some specific structures, called normal forms, for which an observer is known. Therefore, the problem of observer design is broken down into three sub-problems: • What are the available normal forms and their associated observers?• Under which conditions can a system be transformed into one of these forms and through which transformation? • How can an inverse transformation that recovers an estimate in the given initial coordinates be achieved? This organisation allows the book to structure results within a united framework, highlighting the importance of the choice of the observer coordinates for nonlinear systems. In particular, the first part covers state-affine forms with their Luenberger or Kalman designs, and triangular forms with their homogeneous high-gain designs. The second part addresses the transformation into linear forms through linearization by output injection or in the context of a nonlinear Luenberger design, and into triangular forms under the well-known uniform and differential observability assumptions. Finally, the third part presents some recently developed methods for avoiding the numerically challenging inversion of the transformation. Observer Design for Nonlinear Systems addresses students and researchers looking for an introduction to or an overview of the state of the art in observer design for nonlinear continuous-time dynamical systems. The book gathers the most important results focusing on a large and diffuse literature on general observer designs with global convergence, and is a valuable source of information for academics and practitioners.
Observing the Volcano World: Volcano Crisis Communication (Advances in Volcanology)
by Carina J. Fearnley Deanne K. Bird Katharine Haynes William J. McGuire Gill JollyThis open access book provides a comprehensive overview of volcanic crisis research, the goal being to establish ways of successfully applying volcanology in practice and to identify areas that need to be addressed for future progress. It shows how volcano crises are managed in practice, and helps to establish best practices. Consequently the book brings together authors from all over the globe who work with volcanoes, ranging from observatory volcanologists, disaster practitioners and government officials to NGO-based and government practitioners to address three key aspects of volcanic crises. First, the book explores the unique nature of volcanic hazards, which makes them a particularly challenging threat to forecast and manage, due in part to their varying spatial and temporal characteristics. Second, it presents lessons learned on how to best manage volcanic events based on a number of crises that have shaped our understanding of volcanic hazards and crises management. Third, it discusses the diverse and wide-ranging aspects of communication involved in crises, which merge old practices and new technologies to accommodate an increasingly challenging and globalised world. The information and insights presented here are essential to tapping established knowledge, moving towards more robust volcanic crises management, and understanding how the volcanic world is perceived from a range of standpoints and contexts around the globe.

Legendary pioneering journalist Clare Hollingworth died in Hong Kong aged 105 in January 2017 after an illustrious career spanning the great events of the 20th century. Clare was famous for getting 'the scoop of the century': the outbreak of the World War 2. From witnessing the first aerial bombings against England in the First World War, through Hitler's Blitzkrieg, Clare's résumé included desert war in North Africa, civil war in Greece, terrorism in Jerusalem, naming Philby as the Third Man, and guerrilla warfare in Vietnam and Borneo. She had an uncanny ability to make headlines throughout her century-long life. And although her style of journalism was very different from the 24-hour breaking rolling news we have today, the need for detailed eye-witness reporting seems even more important today as we face an onslaught of fake news and alternative facts. The story is not just about news and war however: through access to family papers and personal accounts, her great-nephew Patrick Garrett is able to show Clare in three dimensions, explain her life and loves, and show how she dealt with the pressures of life as a correspondent - decades before women were routinely accepted in this role.facebook.com/celebrateclaretwitter.com/celebrateclare
