This work offers a practical, non-theoretical introduction to the
principles, application and benefits of multi-sensor technology in
smart weapon development, surveillance systems, and an increasing
variety of non-military applications. It also provides an overview
of MMW (Millimeter-Wave) and IR (infrared) sensor constraints,
design principles, system alternatives and targeting applications.
Both Sides Now, from contemporary musical great, Joni Mitchell,
features her sultry, jazzy, dramatic renditions of love songs from
the 1920s to the 1970s.
Simply put, Julia Fordham's album Concrete Love, floats like a
butterfly and delivers like a ton of bricks. Concrete Lovewas
produced with characteristic perception by Larry Klein(Joni
Mitchell) and features, among its stellar ensemble, seven-time
Grammy nominee India.Arie, who joins Julia on the title track,
"Concrete Love." The pairing of their unique sultry vocals is an
extraordinarily emotional and spiritual moment. The album also
highlights a memorable duet with Joe Henry, who according to the
Los Angeles Times"is more than simply a talented singer-songwriter.
He's also fearless, risky and enlightened." Also lending their
talents is the instantly identifiable virtuosity of the legendary
Billy Prestonon Hammond B-3 Organ and Wurlitzer Electric Piano,
along with dynamic backing vocals by Sweet Pea Atkinsonand Sir
Harry Bowens(Was (Not Was), Bonnie Raitt). Julia also enlisted two
trusted collaborators--songwriter Gary Clark(Danny Wilson,
Transistor), who co-wrote four key tracks with Fordham and Larry
Klein, to whom she credits the album's distinctively
"groovalicious" ambiance. The result is an unquestionably inspired
departure, evoking everything from Dusty In Memphis to classic
Torch and Soul traditions to the ineffable pleasures of Fordham's
own, precisely calibrated, four-octave range. The album's 11
selections comprise a brilliant advance for an artist whose richly
textured melodies and emotionally resonant lyrics have been given
potent and persuasive new stylistic settings. Concrete
Loveshowcases, with stunning cinematic clarity, Julia's deceptively
simple celebrations of love and longing. Tracks such as the
evocative "Italy" and exultant "Wake Up With You" cleverly contrast
the soulful "Foolish Thing," "Missing Man," and "Roadside Angel,"
her musical valentine to the late Minnie Riperton. Concrete Loveis
anchored to such pure pop delights as the sparkling "Butterfly,"
the engaging word play of "It's Another You Day," and the exquisite
"Something Right."
