This book focuses on broadband distribution and systems
architecture and concentrates on practical concepts that will allow
the reader to do their own design, improvement, and troubleshooting
work. The objective is to enhance the skill sets of a large
population that designs and builds broadband cable plants, as well
as those maintaining and troubleshooting it. A large cross-section
of technical personnel who need to learn these skills design,
maintain, and service HFC systems from signal creation through
transmission to reception and processing at the customer end point.
In addition, data/voice and video specialists need to master and
reference the basics of HFC design and distribution before
contending with the intricacies of their own unique services. This
book serves as an essential reference to all cable engineers-those
who specifically design and maintain the HFC distribution plant as
well as those primarily concerned with data/voice technology as
well as video technology. Included is an online component
consisting of spreadsheets that were used in developing the
material presented in the book.
Fully updated, revised, and expanded, this second edition of Modern
Cable Television Technology addresses the significant changes
undergone by cable since 1999--including, most notably, its
continued transformation from a system for delivery of television
to a scalable-bandwidth platform for a broad range of communication
services. It provides in-depth coverage of high speed data
transmission, home networking, IP-based voice, optical dense
wavelength division multiplexing, new video compression techniques,
integrated voice/video/data transport, and much more.
The 1940 Under the Volcano-hidden for too long in the shadows of Lowry's 1947 masterpiece-differs from the latter in significant ways. It is a bridge between Lowry's 1930s fiction (especially In Ballast to the White Sea) and the 1947 Under the Volcano itself. Joining the recently published Swinging the Maelstrom and In Ballast to the White Sea, The 1940 Under the Volcano takes its rightful place as part of Lowry's exciting 1930s/early-40s trilogy. Scholars have only recently begun to pay systematic attention to convergences and divergences between this earlier work and the 1947 version. Miguel Mota and Paul Tiessen's insightful introduction, together with extensive annotations by Chris Ackerley and David Large, reveal the depth and breadth of Lowry's complex vision for his work. This critical edition fleshes out our sense of the enormous achievement by this twentieth-century modernist.
This is a new release of the original 1932 edition.

Much has been written about the West's unwillingness to attempt the rescue of tens of thousands of European Jews from the hands of the Nazis. Now David Clay Large gives a specific human face to this tragedy of bureaucratic inertia and ill will. In this masterpiece of Holocaust literature, Large tells the wrenching story of Max Schohl, a German Jew who in the years preceding World War II could not find a government that would allow his family to immigrate, despite wealth, education, business and family connections, a job offer from an American university, and herculean efforts by himself and his American relatives. After repeated but fruitless efforts to gain entry first to the United States, and then to Britain, Chile, and Brazil, Max died in Auschwitz, and his wife and daughters were sent to hard labor in Wiesbaden. Max left behind a unique collection of family letters and documents, which Large has brought together into a gripping, personal commentary on the evolution of the Holocaust in Europe and the hopelessly inadequate response from abroad.
In the political history of the past century, no city has played a more prominent-though often disastrous-role than Berlin. At the same time, Berlin has also been a dynamic centre of artistic and intellectual innovation. If Paris was the "Capital of the Nineteenth Century," Berlin was to become the signature city for the next hundred years. Once a symbol of modernity, in the Thirties it became associated with injustice and the abuse of power. After 1945, it became the iconic City of the Cold War. Since the fall of the Wall, Berlin has again come to represent humanity's aspirations for a new beginning, tempered by caution deriving from the traumas of the recent past. David Clay Large's definitive history of Berlin is framed by the two German unifications of 1871 and 1990. Between these two events several themes run like a thread through the city's history: a persistent inferiority complex a distrust among many ordinary Germans, and the national leadership of the "unloved city's" electric atmosphere, fast tempo, and tradition of unruliness its status as a magnet for immigrants, artists, intellectuals, and the young the opening up of social, economic, and ethnic divisions as sharp as the one created by the Wall.
