An innovative adaptation of existing aircraft, the gunship was used
to interdict enemy reinforcements and protect friendly villages,
bases, and forces, especially at night. Ballard's book describes
how the fixed-wing gunship evolved from a modified cargo aircraft
to a sophisticated weapons system with considerable firepower. The
author highlights the tactics, key decisions, and the constant need
for adaptation.
From the classical violinist to the hip hop producer, creating
music pays homage to principles of harmony. It is not just the sum
of the musical parts that makes a song come alive, but how every
part interacts with others to create more harmonies, enriched
melodies, dynamic rhythms, and more interaction. Composers,
engineers, producers and performing musicians constantly use the
harmonic principles derived from basic acoustics every time they
work through a piece. This book offers a deep analytical dive into
the theories of harmonics. It explores many nontraditional
approaches such as extended and hyperextended chords and it
includes an explanation for the consonance of the elusive minor
triad. The book also covers voicing and arranging from a vertical
or harmonic perspective, a system of classifying the sonority of
each chord, how extended chords impact the listener, and how the
composer applies these principles.

One of the more striking aspects of the war in Southeast Asia was
the adaptation of existing weapons in the American arsenal to the
peculiar needs of an unconventional war. This volume traces the
history from initial conception of the fixed-wing gunship in the
early 1960's through deployment and operations to the end of
American combat involvement in early 1973.
