Jonathan Landers was focused on two things in life, jamming with his high school friends in a death metal band and riding his quad runner through the Arizona desert. But when he crashes his quad runner, Jonathan finds himself in a desperate situation. Injured, dehydrated and without transportation, he must survive the journey on foot. Before he escapes the choking hot desert an earthquake hits the general area. In the following days Jonathan and his friend Kyle discover a mutilated animal carcass that suggests a predator of unnatural abilities. The nightmare unfolds when they encounter prehistoric creatures that have not walked the earth in five million years. With the annual biker fest just one week away in the neighboring city of Laughlin, Nevada, Jonathan and his friends find themselves in a desperate struggle to stop the event before the prehistoric scorpions...come out to play

This book is for musical makers and artists who want to gain knowledge and inspiration for your own amazing creations. "Grumpy Mike" Cook, co-author of several books on the Raspberry Pi and frequent answerer of questions of the Arduino forums, brings you a fun and instructive mix and simple and complex projects to help you understand how the Arduino can work with the MIDI system to create musical instruments and manipulate sound. In Part I you'll find a set of projects to show you the possibilities of MIDI plus Arduino, covering both the hardware and software aspects of creating musical instruments. In Part II, you learn how to directly synthesize a wave form to create your own sounds with Arduino and concludes with another instrument project: the SpoonDuino. Finally, in Part III, you'll learn about signal processing with the Arduino Uno and the Due - how to create effects like delay, echo, pitch changes, and realtime backwards audio output. If you want to learn more about how to create music, instruments, and sound effects with Arduino, then get on board for Grumpy Mike's grand tour with Arduino Music and Sound Projects.

Jet Harris was a member of probably the most successful instrumental band in the world, The Shadows. The good, bad and sad days are all here. The affair that Cliff Richard had with his wife Carol, which led to his lifelong fight against alcoholism, and inevitably, his fall from grace. Affectionately known as 'The Godfather' of the Electric Bass Guitar, he enjoyed both the fame and notoriety that went with the job, finally finding an inner peace in his later years on the Isle of Wight. A musical legend...

First published in 1979, GREAT HITTING PITCHERS was one of SABR's early publications. Including the contributions of several members of the Society and edited by SABR's founder, Bob Davids, the book compiled together records and anecdotes about pitchers excelling in the batters box. Now updated for 2012, "Great Hitting Pitchers" has been updated so that all tables include 1979-2012 data, and previous stats have been corrected to reflect the most recent updates in the record books. Joining the original chapters on pitchers hitting grand slams, pitchers' hitting performances in World Series play, and how the pitchers of no-hitters performed at bat in those games, an all-new chapter by Mike Cook explores the top hitting pitchers since 1979, including Mike Hampton, Micah Owings, and CC Sabathia.
