The very first book in the world to be illustrated with photographs
was produced in Reading between 1844 and 1846. In 1843, William
Henry Fox Talbot set up the first commercial studios to
mass-produce photographs from negatives and he chose the Berkshire
town of Reading as its location. The Reading Establishment, as it
became known, marks a pivotal moment in the development of
photography. Martin Andrews tells the story of these momentous
events and places them in the context of the discovery and early
history of photography. Told in a lively and engaging way, the
story starts with a mystery. Who is the strange, foreign gentleman
buying unusual substances in the chemist shops of Reading - is he a
forger or a spy?
Allen W. Seaby's life has been described as "a classic tale of
Victorian self-improvement." But there is more to the tale than
just upward mobility. A. W. Seaby was a pioneering, innovative and
inspirational man who rose to become a prominent print-maker,
teacher, author and illustrator. Best-known for his colour woodcut
printing using traditional Japanese methods, and as a prominent
wildlife artist, the story of Seaby's many accomplishments is
recounted by his grandson, who inherited Seaby's love of birds and
became internationally renowned in his own right, Robert Gillmor.
Alongside this personal recount, Martin Andrews (Seaby's successor
as President of the Reading Guild of Artists) selects aspects of
his career and expands upon his techniques, his illustrative
methods, his circle of fellow artists and the books he published to
give a full and rounded account of a man whose work is currently
enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.
Roaming Midsomer is the perfect follow-up to the successful
Exploring Midsomer, which enticed lovers of Midsomer Murders and
rural England to go and enjoy the beautiful 'Midsomer' for
themselves. This compilation of interesting and pleasant walks
offers plenty to do, see, eat and drink while exploring the area,
with each walk based around locations used in the TV series. Most
walking books are designed for the serious explorer, but this guide
is Sunday afternoon friendly with a simple, modern and
easy-to-follow style, including postcodes for all the eating and
drinking establishments. Chris Behan and Martin Andrew, both
residents of the area for nearly forty years, have used their
intimate knowledge of 'Midsomer' to create a book that is essential
for fans of Midsomer Murders and sure to enchant all those who love
these rural locations, steeped as they are in 'Midsomer' lore.
This book comprises the selected contributions from the 2nd World
Congress on Condition Monitoring (WCCM 2019), held in Singapore in
December 2019. The contents focus on digitalisation for condition
monitoring with the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution
(Industry 4.0) and the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT). The
book covers latest research findings in the areas of condition
monitoring, structural health monitoring, and non-destructive
testing which are relevant for many sectors including aerospace,
automotive, civil, oil and gas, marine, and manufacturing
industries. Different monitoring systems and non-destructive
testing methods are discussed to avoid failures, increase
lifespans, and reduce maintenance costs of equipment and machinery.
The broad scope of the contents will make this book interesting for
academics and professionals working in the areas of non-destructive
evaluation and condition monitoring.
One of the Europe's most celebrated rivers, the Seine stretches
from the fertile plains of Burgundy to the English Channel at Le
Havre. Starting at its source near Dijon, writer and engraver
Robert Gibbings follows the river's 400-mile course as it develops
from a tranquil stream into the mighty waterway that links Rouen to
the sea. The journey takes different forms: on foot, in a tiny boat
'hardly more than a coracle', on a barge, and on a boat used for
transporting books. Throughout this leisurely voyage during one
summer Gibbings records his impressions, visual and verbal, of
places and people as well as explaining how the river has played a
vital role in French history. In part an evocation of the Seine's
changing landscapes and rural beauty, this is also an account of
towns and cities-Troyes, Rouen, Paris-and their relationship with
the river. Looking at writers and painters as well as historic
figures who have left their mark on the Seine, Gibbings presents an
affectionate picture of this great river and the people who live
and work on its banks. Discussing the vineyards of Champagne, the
paintings of Sisley and Utrillo, the rituals of Parisian cafe life,
the author conveys an irresistible enthusiasm not just for boats
and river life, but for all things French. First published in 1953,
Coming Down the Seine is illustrated with more than fifty of
Gibbings' delightful engravings.
Peter Hay (1951-2003) was a visionary artist. He was a very English
painter whose work has a poetic and mystical quality. Eclectic,
curious magpie, he found inspiration from everywhere and gathered
it into his image-making. He was a fine draughtsman and
watercolourist, a brilliantly inventive printmaker. At heart a
figurative artist, the work moves into abstraction through striking
black and white and a rich use of colour. After studying Fine Art
at Reading University, and two years away in Cornwall, Peter Hay
settled in Reading for the rest of his life. He had a strong sense
of place; the junction of the rivers Thames and Kennet close to his
home was a frequent symbolic theme in his work. He became a central
figure in the local art community and was an inspirational teacher.
In 1994 he founded Two Rivers Press which gave him the opportunity
to pursue through illustration his passion for campaigning, his
love of poetry and history. This book brings together the range of
this prolific artist's work for the first time.
From the reviews: "This book crystallizes what may become a
defining moment in the electronics industry - the shift to
platform-based design. It provides the first comprehensive
guidebook for those who will build, and use, the integration
platforms that may soon drive the system-on-chip revolution."
Electronic Engineering Times
Emphasis is placed on analogies between the various systems
rather than on advanced or specialized aspects, with the purpose of
illustrating common ideas within different domains of physics.
Starting from a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and
classical electromagnetism, the exposition is self-contained and
explicitly details all steps of the derivations.
The new edition features a substantially new treatment of
nucleon pairing.

Presents thirteen studies that engage with the notion of formal
function in a variety of ways Among the more striking developments
in contemporary North American music theory is the renewed
centrality of issues of musical form (Formenlehre). Formal
Functions in Perspective presents thirteen studies that engage with
musical form in a variety of ways. The essays, written by
established and emerging scholars from the United States, the
United Kingdom, Canada, and the European continent, run the
chronological gamut from Haydn and Clementito Leibowitz and Adorno;
they discuss Lieder, arias, and choral music as well as symphonies,
concerti, and chamber works; they treat Haydn's humor and
Saint-Saens's politics, while discussions of particular pieces
range from Mozart's arias to Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht. Running
through the essays and connecting them thematically is the central
notion of formal function. CONTRIBUTORS: Brian Black, L. Poundie
