This textbook provides an excellent focus on the advanced topics of
the power system protection philosophy and gives exciting analysis
methods and a cover of the important applications in the power
systems relaying. Each chapter opens with a historical profile or
career talk, followed by an introduction that states the chapter
objectives and links the chapter to the previous ones, and then the
introduction for each chapter. All principles are presented in a
lucid, logical, step-by-step approach. As much as possible, the
authors avoid wordiness and detail overload that could hide
concepts and impede understanding. In each chapter, the authors
present some of the solved examples and applications using a
computer program. Toward the end of each chapter, the authors
discuss some application aspects of the concepts covered in the
chapter using a computer program. In recognition of requirements by
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on
integrating computer tools, the use of SCADA technology is
encouraged in a student-friendly manner. SCADA technology using the
LUCAS-NÃœLLE GmbH system is introduced and applied gradually
throughout the book. Practice problems immediately following each
illustrative example. Students can follow the example step by step
to solve the practice problems without flipping pages or looking at
the book's end for answers. These practice problems test students'
comprehension and reinforce key concepts before moving on to the
next section. The book is intended as a textbook for a senior-level
undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering
departments and is appropriate for Graduate Students, Industry
Professionals, Researchers, and Academics. The book has more than
ten categories and millions of power readers. It can be used in
more than 400 electrical engineering departments at top

In this age of high fuel prices and concern with continuing
availability of oil, scientists are working on a number of
approaches to alternate fuel sources. These concerns may provoke
interest in how some people in gas-starved Europe dealt with such
problems throughout the war years, 1939-1945. One of the most
successful innovations, were the so-called gas producer vehicles
that utilized the by-products of solid fuel combustion, employing
such solids as coal, charcoal, turf, and wood to produce fuel gas
for a standard internal combustion engine. This book provides an
overview of such vehicles, including those used by the Wehrmacht.
Schematics of operating systems and the regulations concerning
their use are also included, along with a translated German
illustratedoperators manual.
First published in 1972, this book examines the sonnet, one of the
most complex yet accessible of verse forms. It traces its history,
concentrating primarily on its technical development, and fully
explains the differences between the Italian and English sonnet.
The study looks at several different kinds of sonnet, including
condensed and expanded sonnets, inverted and tailed sonnets and
irregularities of metre and rhyme, and concludes with a survey of
the sonnet sequence. This book will be useful to students of
prosody and English poetry as well as those concerned with the
practice of verse.
This book views peacemaking as a broad, encompassing process that
is expressed in many different shapes and forms. It blends
ancient-wisdom traditions, peacemaking criminology, and restorative
justice principles as a way of intervening with offenders in both
institutional and community-based settings. Philosophical and
spiritual contexts for peacemaking are presented that form a
foundation for understanding the potential for peacemaking in
criminological thought, the criminal justice system, and society in
general.

From his first wartime collection evoking a generation's experience
of a country made strange by blackouts and air raids, the 'vivid
allegorical / Reality of gun and hangar', to the consolatory wisdom
of the Last Poems of 1993, Roy Fuller was a poet of the familiar
and ordinary made extraordinary. Mundane details, observed with
Fuller's tolerant humour and acute eye, reveal depths and
dissonances from which a civilised life may be created: the
unremarkable year 'of painting the shed ...Is also that of
harmonies / That have made one's life and art for evermore
off-key'. On the centenary of Fuller's birth, this generous
selection, introduced by John Fuller, the poet's son, and with an
afterword by Neil Powell, Fuller's biographer, brings to a new
generation of readers the work of one of the essential
twentieth-century poets.

Nowt stops for cricket in Yorkshire. Passion runs deep, beyond
those in whites, to the groundsmen, tea ladies, scorers and umpires
who embody the game. All Wickets Great and Small is a romp across
the landscape of amateur cricket in Yorkshire during the summer of
2015. Author John Fuller looks at the key issues affecting the
grassroots game: the struggles to attract players, funding
shortages, natural disasters and the social dynamics that can
threaten a captain's eleven on a Saturday. What shape is the
grassroots game in and can it still survive and thrive? From vicars
and imams socking sixes in Dewsbury to heritage clubs hitting
social media out of the park, this is the story of
sleeves-rolled-up cricket at its best in the county that locals
call 'God's own'.

W. H. Auden was born in York in 1907. His first full-length
collection, Poems, was published by T. S. Eliot at Faber and Faber
in 1930. The many volumes he published thereafter included poetry,
plays, essays and libretti, and his ceaseless experimentation,
consummate craftsmanship and originality established him as one of
the most influential poets of the twentieth century. He died in
1973.
Now available for the first time in paperback, John Fuller's
Commentary is a compendious yet condensed reference work dealing
with all of Auden's writings. For every poem, play or libretto,
Fuller encapsulates the publishing history, paraphrases difficult
passages, explains allusions, points out interesting variants
(including material abandoned in drafts), identifies sources and
influences, looks at the verse form and offers critical
interpretation. Auden's formal and intellectual range challenges
comparison with Eliot or Yeats, and his particular interests -
psychological, anthropological, prosodic, theological, historical -
lend an added resonance to the texture of his work, all of which is
explored and interpreted, with exemplary lucidity, in this most
essential of one-volume companions. 'magnificent . . . a model of
scholarly engagement that is both rigorous and readable.' Paul
Muldoon, Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year

Britten is the most literary British composer of the twentieth
century. His relationship to the many and varied texts that he set
was deeply committed and sensitive. As a result, both his responses
to poetry and his collaborationswith his librettists tell us a
great deal about his music, and often, about the man himself.

great deal about his music, and often, about the man himself. This
book takes a unique approach to Britten, drawing together
well-known Britten experts alongside English, music, modern
language andhistory scholars who bring their own perspective to
bear on Britten's work. Chapters examine all aspects of Britten's
text setting, from his engagement with a wide variety of poetry to
his relationship with his librettists. By approaching Britten's
operas and songs through their literature, this book offers fresh
insights into his vocal works. KATE KENNEDY is the Weinrebe

This is an indispensable reference guide to the works of one of
the most important poets of the twentieth century. W. H. Auden's
writing is notoriously complex--full of puzzling allusions and
shaped by influences as diverse as Old English poetry and Auden's
own theory of psychosomatic illness. To help readers understand
Auden's work, the poet and scholar John Fuller examines all of
Auden's published poems, plays, and libretti, leaving out only some
juvenilia. In unprecedented detail, he reviews the works'
publishing history, paraphrases difficult passages, and explains
allusions. He points out interesting variants (including material
abandoned in drafts), identifies sources, looks at verse forms, and
offers critical interpretations. Along the way, he presents a
wealth of facts about Auden's works and life that are available in
no other publication.
The book is a major revision of Fuller's critically acclaimed
"Reader's Guide" to Auden, published in 1970. It contains more than
twice the material of that earlier volume. Fuller organizes the
book on the basis of the individual collections that Auden himself
originally published, with sections of "uncollected" work
interwoven. Clear, meticulously researched, and carefully designed
for ease of use, it is an essential guide for anyone interested in
Auden's remarkable and sometimes elusive writing.
Writing reliable and maintainable C++ software is hard. Designing
such software at scale adds a new set of challenges. Creating
large-scale systems requires a practical understanding of logical
design - beyond the theoretical concepts addressed in most popular
texts. To be successful on an enterprise scale, developers must
also address physical design, a dimension of software engineering
that may be unfamiliar even to expert developers. Drawing on over
30 years of hands-on experience building massive, mission-critical
enterprise systems, John Lakos shows how to create and grow
Software Capital. This groundbreaking volume lays the foundation
for projects of all sizes and demonstrates the processes, methods,
techniques, and tools needed for successful real-world, large-scale
development. Up to date and with a solid engineering focus,
Large-Scale C++, Volume I: Process and Architecture, demonstrates
fundamental design concepts with concrete examples. Professional
developers of all experience levels will gain insights that
transform their approach to design and development by understanding
how to Raise productivity by leveraging differences between
infrastructure and application development Achieve exponential
productivity gains through feedback and hierarchical reuse Embrace
the component's role as the fundamental unit of both logical and
physical design Analyze how fundamental properties of compiling and
linking affect component design Discover effective partitioning of
logical content in appropriately sized physical aggregates
Internalize the important differences among sufficient, complete,
minimal, and primitive software Deliver solutions that
simultaneously optimize encapsulation, stability, and performance
Exploit the nine established levelization techniques to avoid
cyclic physical dependencies Use lateral designs judiciously to
avoid the "heaviness" of conventional layered architectures Employ
appropriate architectural insulation techniques for eliminating
compile-time coupling Master the multidimensional process of
designing large systems using component-based methods This is the
first of John Lakos's three authoritative volumes on developing
large-scale systems using C++. This book, written for fellow
software practitioners, uses familiar C++ constructs to solve
real-world problems while identifying (and motivating) modern C++
alternatives. Together with the forthcoming Volume II: Design and
Implementation and Volume III: Verification and Testing,
Large-Scale C++ offers comprehensive guidance for all aspects of
large-scale C++ software development. If you are an architect or
project leader, this book will empower you to solve critically
important problems right now - and serve as your go-to reference
for years to come. Register your book for convenient access to
downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
