This 1845 biography of Mozart by the music journalist Edward Holmes was the first to be published in English. Holmes, who numbered the poet Keats and the publisher Vincent Novello amongst his friends, wrote extensively for periodicals including the Musical Times and The Atlas. A lifelong admirer of Mozart's work, Holmes's keen understanding of its significance is evident throughout the biography. It is based on a thorough study of the then available printed and manuscript sources, in particular many of Mozart's letters which Holmes translated and included as he 'endeavoured throughout to let the composer tell his own story'. He was also able to consult Mozart's own catalogue of his works, that compiled by the publisher Johann Andre, and the Mozart autograph manuscripts bought by Andre from Mozart's widow Constanze. The work is written in a very approachable style and will appeal to anyone with an interest in Mozart.

High quality electrical service is key to power systems around the world, particularly in utilities and industrial facilities. Both voltage and grid frequency must be kept within tight limits to maintain functioning of critical infrastructure. The growing use of renewable power of intermittent character is adding to that challenge. One of the keys to achieving quality service is the protection system, which needs to be reliable, fast and with a good cost/benefit ratio. It consists of various components, including relays, circuit breakers and fuses. An understanding of the different behaviours of these components in the face of malfunctions, and of countermeasures, is needed. This book has established itself as a classic work in its field, allowing the reader to easily follow the ideas explored. It provides an overview of most aspects of electrical protections, with emphasis on distribution systems; but protection of generation and transmission systems are also addressed. For this 4th edition, new topics have been added, such as protection of renewable power plants and transient stability analysis. It offers a thorough revision of the material, particularly the numerical type of relays, protective functions, control, measurement, communications and oscillography features. Most chapters have illustrative examples using MATLAB or PSAT (Power System Analysis Tools). This work remains essential reading for researchers, utility engineers, design, maintenance and consulting engineers as well as for instructors and senior students.

Beginning One of the greatest mysteries confronting the United States, Great Britain and the free world is how is terrorism getting funded? One of the most likely theories being discussed is that the money is coming from either hidden Swiss bank accounts and/or Saudi Arabia. The CIA is out to prove that just prior to the beginning of World War Two starting in 1937; the Swiss Banks collaborated with the Third Reich in hiding the gold stolen from the Jews. In 2001, the United States learned that the Swiss had protected an International Bank that handled finances for Osama Bin Laden. One of them, the Bahrain International Bank, had funds transiting through non-published accounts of Clearstream, which has been qualified as a "bank of banks" and was involved in one of Luxembourg's major financial scandals. Middle Ultimately, CIA agent Montana Style is able to prove that the Swiss banks had many secret numbered accounts that contained the stolen "money," taken from the persecuted Jews and is indeed the money being used by Al Qaeda to fund world terrorism. The narrative tells how the United States intelligence agencies and its Allies aggressively attempt to recover and restore gold and other assets stolen by Germany during World War II and hidden by the Swiss Banks for over three generations. End Style is successful in tracking down the Al Qaeda financial support in Germany. Much of that capital has been used to finance worldwide terrorism, including the attack on the World Trade Center, September 11 and funded by the money taken from the Jews in World War II. THE PLOT CIA agent Montana Style investigation documents one of the greatest thefts by a government in history. The illegal confiscation by Nazi Germany of an estimated $580 million of central bank gold around $100 billion in today's values along with indeterminate amounts in other assets during World War II. These goods were stolen from governments and civilians in the countries Germany overran and from Jewish and non-Jewish victims of the Nazis alike, including Jews murdered in extermination camps, from whom everything was taken down to the gold fillings of their teeth. Eventually, Styles is able to show the direct connection between the Swiss banks and terrorism conducted by Al-Qaeda, including the 911 hijacking that led to the death of nearly 3000 Americans.
