Fuses are designed to operate when over-currents, large and small,
occur within electrical equipment; they thus interrupt the flow of
current, preventing damage. They are needed for various power
electric systems, for stationary and automotive applications, as
well as power grid components like PV systems and distribution
lines. Different types of equipment and voltages require special
fuses, and their behaviour must be understood to guarantee correct
choice and safe operation. For the 3rd edition in 2004, Wright and
Newbery's classic had been revised to include pre-arcing and arcing
behaviour, retrofitting of fuses, chip and automotive fuses, and
insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) protection. Edition 4
includes updates on standards and new applications. Data, standards
descriptions and many illustrations have been revised and updated.
Chapters cover pre-arcing and arcing behaviour of cartridge
fuselinks, constructions and types of low-and high-voltage fuses as
well as miniature, plug and other small fuses, various
applications, standards, manufacture, quality assurance and
inspection. This reference is indispensable for researchers
involved with power electric equipment, grids and motors, and
experts engaged in fuse development, design and production.

The story of the Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings as
shown in the Bayeux Tapestry is arguably the most widely-known in
the entire panoply of English history, and over the last 200 years
there have been hundreds of books portraying the Tapestry and
seeking to analyse its meanings. Yet, there is one aspect of the
embroidery that has been virtually ignored or dismissed as
unimportant by historians - the details in the margins. Yet the
fables shown in the margins are not just part of a decorative
ribbon, neither are they discontinuous, but in fact follow-on in
sequence. When this is understood, it becomes clear that they must
relate in some way to the action shown on the body of the Tapestry.
After careful examination, it has become clear that the purpose of
these images is to amplify, elaborate or explain the main story. In
this ground-breaking study, Arthur Wright reveals for the first
time the significance of the images in the margins. This has meant
that it is possible to see the 'whole' story as never before,
enabling a more complete picture of the Bayeux Tapestry to be
constructed. This, in turn, has led to the author re-examining many
of the scenes in the main body of the work, showing that a number
of the basic assumptions, so often taught as facts, have been based
on nothing more than reasoned conjecture. It might be thought that
after so much has been written about the Bayeux Tapestry there was
nothing more to be said, but Decoding the Bayeux Tapestry shows us
just how much there is still to be learnt.
Domesday Book is a massive collection of statistics in two million
words and has been described as "the most comprehensive array of
social and economic data... possibly from the planet", a unique and
never-again-repeated achievement of world-heritage status and,
though not as large as the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of
China, unique to England. In spite of two centuries (and more) of
scholarly speculations and diligent translations it has never
actually been read - no-one can make sense of the statistics it
contains and some have claimed it was a waste of time! There are
just twenty words, in two places, which provide the key to
opening-up the translation and, up to now, they have gone
unremarked. Why? Well that is part of the detective story. Here is
the key to reading it, for the first time in 900 years! Though
Raising the Dead contains a serious archaeological discovery, it
nevertheless reads like a novel, like a search for a lost tomb and
a buried treasure. At the heart of this search is a hidden clue:
just twenty words in two million will unlock the tomb and from
there, it is a matter of code-breaking in order to search out the
treasure. The step-by-step logic makes this the ideal book for the
classroom and also for non-specialist readers, making light of the
logic and statistics required to detect this secret repository.
