The collapse of Western colonial empires after the Second World War led to any number of vicious struggles for power whose bloody consequences haunt us still. Acclaimed historian Michael Burleigh's brilliant analytic skills & clear eye for common themes underpins this powerful account of those struggles. He takes us on a historical journey from Palestine to Pakistan from Cuba to Indo-China & reframes mid-20th century history by forcing us to look away from the Cold War to the hot wars that continue to afflict us. The result is a dazzling work of history which examines the death of colonialism with passion insight & genuine understanding of what it feels like to be caught in the middle of realpolitik. ...

Psychologist Solomon Brightman is called to assist DCI Lorimer in the murder hunt with the hope that his lateral thinking will shine a light on the case from a different angle. But before any conclusions can be drawn the body of a nurse is discovered at The Grange a private clinic. Aside from the careful arrangement of the corpses there is no obvious connection between the victims; Lorimer & Solomon are still very much in the dark.

Small- Signal Audio Design

Small Signal Audio Design is a unique guide to the design of high-quality circuitry for preamplifiers mixing consoles and a host of other signal-processing devices. Learn to use inexpensive and readily available parts to obtain state-of-the-art performance in all the vital parameters of noise distortion crosstalk and so on. Focusing mainly on preamplifiers and mixers this practical handbook gives you an extensive repertoire of circuits that can be put together to make almost any type of audio system. A resource packed full of valuable information with virtually every page revealing nuggets of specialized knowledge never before published. Essential points of theory that bear on practical performance are lucidly and thoroughly explained with the mathematics kept to an essential minimum.
Douglas background in design for manufacture ensures he keeps a wary eye on the cost of things. Includes a chapter on power-supplies full of practical ways to keep both the ripple and the cost down showing how to power everything. Douglas wears his learning lightly and this book features the engaging prose style familiar to readers of his other books The Audio Power Amplifier Design Handbook and Self on Audio. You will learn why mercury cables are not a good idea the pitfalls of plating gold on copper and what"es from Star Trek have to do with PCB design. *Provides an enormous amount of knowledge in one unique volume making it an essential guide to design principles and practice in the wide are of small-signal audio *Includes numerous circuit blocks with all component values given so
you can build on them and easily adapt them to your own requirements *Lavishly illustrated with diagrams and graphs and full of practical measurements on real circuitry so you can be sure just how well it will perform Learn how to: make amplifiers with apparently impossibly low noise design discrete circuitry that can handle enormous signals with vanishingly low distortion use humble low-gain transistors to make an amplifier with an input impedance of more than 50 Megohms transform the performance of low-cost-opamps how to make filters with very low noise and distortion make incredibly accurate volume controls make a huge variety of audio equalisers make magnetic cartridge preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics sum switch clip compress and route audio signals
