Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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.
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.
Published in 1845 as the first adequate account of Mozart to appear
in English, Holmes' biography also was the first to be based upon
Mozart's letters and the memoirs written following the composer's
death in 1791. Writing just before vast changes would occur, Holmes
describes music as it must have appeared to the cultured and
liberal minds of his era.

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.
