This is the story of Fred Taylor, who since 1960 has been bringing entertainers and audiences together in Boston and New England in nightclubs, concert halls, and festival grounds. As the owner of the legendary Back Bay nightclubs Paul's Mall and the Jazz Workshop, Taylor had a front-row seat for the greatest names in music and comedy in the 1960s and 1970s. As the entertainment director at Scullers Jazz Club for twenty-six years, he continues to present the best in contemporary music. Fred Taylor's entertainment universe is peopled by pop superstars, jazz legends, and sparkling storytellers-a galaxy of singers, saxophonists, and stand-up comics. They're all part of Taylor's world, and you'll learn about them-and the ups and downs of his utterly unpredictable career in the music business-in the pages of this book.

As cyberspace becomes essential to the execution of a wide range of military missions, achieving cyberspace superiority is a notion that demands critical analysis. The unique nature of the cyber domain requires strong coordination among U.S. agencies and various branches of the U. S. government. In exploring the current threat environment, the evolution of the cyber domain and the gaps in U.S. cyberspace policy, we question whether the Department of Defense can achieve cyberspace superiority. We examine current U. S. legislation regarding cyberspace security, the National Cyberspace Strategy as well as the National Military Strategy for Cyberspace Operations to assess the department's ability to command and control forces in complex environments. The 2006 National Military Strategy for Cyberspace Operation's strategic goal is for the US military to have strategic superiority in cyberspace. This goal is ambitious given challenges with capacity, capability, cognizance and governance. When considering these factors we assess that the DoD cannot achieve its goal of strategic superiority in cyberspace today.

Within the marine and offshore industry, there is a clear and growing need for increased training and education on the use of electrical power systems. The number of electrical plant and appliances now in service has grown at an alarming rate in recent years, as has the amount of electrical power generated and utilised on board. Large passenger ships now carry as many electrical officers as marine engineers, and electrical propulsion is now in common use by LNG carriers, small parcel tankers, oil tankers, ferries, offshore support, the navy, fleet auxiliary, cable layers and cruise ships. A number of shipping companies now award the Chief Electro Technical Officer the equivalent rank to the ship's master and Chief Engineer. These developments have resulted in the establishment of a Foundation Degree programme for Electro Technical Officers and the current development of full degree programmes. As such, a targeted textbook for students on the subject is required. As with all titles in the Reeds Marine Engineering Series, this book will be written in clear, accessible language, so as to be of use to all students and particularly those for whom English isn't their first language. Technical drawings and diagrams will be used throughout and each chapter will be accompanied by example examination questions.

The planets fascinate us, and naturally we care about our own Earth, and things like how well we can forecast the weather and whether climate is really changing. Exploring the Planets offers a personal account on how the space programme evolved. It begins in the era of the first blurry views of our Earth as seen from space, and ends with current plans for sophisticated robots on places as near as our neighbours Venus and Mars and as far away as the rainy lakelands of Saturn's planet-sized moon Titan. Examining the scientific goals of these complex voyages of discovery, and the joys and hardships of working to achieve them. The Space Age is now about 50 years old and for those lucky enough to be part of it at its inception, it's filled a worklong lifetime. Today, several satellites around the Earth have studied the atmosphere and the climate using instruments on board that the author helped design and build. 'Deep space' missions were embarked upon to visit the planets: all of the major bodies (six planets, the Moon and minor bodies, asteroids and comets) of the classical Solar System have been scrutinised close-up by experiments built in various laboratories worldwide. Most of the narrative is based on the author's experiences at the world's space agencies, research labs, and conferences, and at other places as diverse as Cape Canaveral and No. 10 Downing Street.
