The last Earl of Wynherne lies dead on the study floor. His daughter is missing and seemingly respectable Mr Allerton is found stabbed in the leg. Fenland Detective Inspector Hadley is called in to investigate, but in this retro world of gangsters and corrupt city police a wrong move could destroy the fragile alliances and trigger war after thirty years of uneasy peace. This novel is set in a future where the Anti-Technology League collide with demands to restore former levels of technology, rival gangsters battle for dominance, and government agencies are determined to reinforce their message that the world is united in peace and prosperity - by any means necessary. Into this mix comes the last of the Coulgranes of Wynherne, hell-bent on revenge.
This book is a follow-on from the previous two books in the series ("LaTeX for Complete Novices" and "Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis"). It covers more advanced topics, such as iteration, expansion, command definitions and assignments (using TeX primitives or tools provided by the etoolbox package), writing class files and packages, and fetching data from external sources (CSV, XLS, ODS or MySQL). The topics covered are all aimed towards the types of documents required in administrative work, such as writing correspondence (including mail merging), invoices, curricula vitae, memos, minutes, presentations, assignments and examinations, leaflets and flyers. Document collaboration is also discussed and two popular online LaTeX editors, Overleaf and ShareLaTeX, are compared.
This is a follow-on from "LaTeX for Complete Novices" by the same author. This book concentrates on typesetting aspects usually required in a PhD thesis, such as displaying code listings, algorithms and glossaries.
TeX is an excellent typesetting engine created by renowned mathematician and computer scientist Donald Knuth. LaTeX is Leslie Lamport's TeX format, enabling you to access the TeX engine in a structured manner, separating content from style. However it is a language not a word processor, so it can have a steep learning curve, particularly if you have never had any experience using programming languages. This book aims at introducing LaTeX to a non-technical person, including where to get the software and how to get started. There is a summary of all the commands described in the book, which makes for a quick and easy reference on the command's syntax and whether the command is provided by the LaTeX kernel or in a class or package.
