For some of us, childhood is only a nightmare away. When Stephen Connolly, a self-taught artist, drops out of Cambridge University to paint in the slums of 1970s and 1980s Liverpool, it soon gets much closer than that. He struggles against both anti-Semitism and his brutal Jewish mother, against merciless poverty and corrupting affluence. He is pulled apart by two passions, for bed-mate and for soul-mate. The prostitute Anna teaches him urban survival and the petite lecturer Jenny clings to him like a mad mollusc to an unstable rock.The city is in turmoil from mass unemployment and riots. But the greatest threats to Stephen's sanity are the monsters and imaginary playmates that emerge from the fog of his solitary, haunted childhood.Rough, sinister, bohemian, the story battles its way to a happy ending through tragedy, grim humour and the bastard miracle of love. Try this for something scarier and more hard-edged than the average historical romance.

Algebra - A Clear Presentation This is about the fundamental ideas of Algebra, and understanding why and how Algebra works. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire algebraic skills. The clear presentation allows the reader to focus on the crucial facts of Algebra. The text is not cluttered with unnecessary details. That is why 500 plus pages are not necessary. We do not use the devastating phrase "it is obvious", because nothing is obvious to a person learning any subject. The ideas of digit position and digit position weight are introduced to show how integers greater than 9 are created. In this way understanding replaces rote learning. And, the real number system is reviewed. Fractions appeared when division created remainders. Fractions are numbers. The text shows how fractions are manipulated by the four operations addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. Decimal integer and fractional parts are created when q divides p in the fraction p/q. The ideas of digit position and digit position weight are extended past the decimal point to show how the fractional part is valued. The text shows how to manipulate decimals. A focus on general methods for solving algebraic equations allows one to know how to solve any problem. The numerous special methods are distractions that have limited value. Sometimes an equation is not in the desired form. Algebraic operations are used modify the form of the equation by making the same changes to both sides of =, which does not upset the equality. A polynomial in one variable x is defined and its essential properties are presented. The text shows how to manipulate polynomials. The Remainder Theorem is explained. The theorem simplifies finding factors of polynomials. Newton's method for finding polynomial zeros is explained. Cramer's Rule is the straightforward way to find solutions by determinants of algebraic equations. How to find solutions of linear equations by addition, subtraction or substitution is also explained. The formula solving quadratic equations is derived and explained. An exponent n is a symbol written above, and on the right of, another symbol known as the base x as in x to the n. The text shows how arithmetic operations manipulate exponents. The Binomial Theorem shows how to expand (a+x) to the n when a and n are any numbers, positive, negative, integral or fractional. The Exponential and Logarithmic Functions are explained. The text shows how to manipulate them. Many problems are simplified when a rational function, the ratio of two polynomials, is decomposed into a sum of partial fractions with denominators of lower degree. Partial fractions have many applications such as simplifying many algebraic problems as well as the important inverse Laplace Transform process. Matrix algebra allows one to write and process equations efficiently. Furthermore, in many problems, the matrix format makes the next step easier to perceive. The concept of Mathematical Induction is explained and applied to problems. The presentations are eminently clear, because they are based on the policies assume nothing and nothing is obvious. The present text's contents are topics one actually uses when solving algebraic problems.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series Volume 5 Analog Filter Design This university level Electrical Engineering text is for anyone who wants to know how to design analog filters. A filter is a circuit that has a specific frequency response, which defines how signal frequencies amplitudes are modified. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire the skills of analog filter design. We present a thorough foundation so that you can proceed to learn how to design any filter. This text is different from other filter design texts, because we actually design circuits, and not just talk about them. And, we ask you to work hard doing experiments so that you acquire real world experience with commercially available electronic parts. This is about real learning. We do not use the devastating phrase "it is obvious", because nothing is obvious to a person learning a subject. Eight experiments are included that give life to the text's contents, and provide the reader with real world experience with making measurements, using instruments, and learning about all kinds of parts. We consider the experiments to be significant learning activities. The analog filter design process is presented here for (1) the Bell Telephone Laboratories constant k, and m derived ladder filters, and (2) the modern Butterworth, Bessel, Chebyshev, and Inverse Chebyshev transfer functions and their synthesis methods. The designs produce filters one can build and use. Spice programs verify performance. The text starts with a presentation of the properties of four terminal two port networks. The two port equations and tables provide significant support for the filter design processes. The equations of the Bell Telephone Laboratories LC ladder filters are developed in a straightforward manner. The underlying idea is that of image impedance, which allows for cascading of filter sections. Spice programs plot filter transfer functions. The lattice filter structure is not discussed. The design of modern LC analog filters starts by showing how filters are specified. The Butterworth, Bessel, Chebyshev, and Inverse Chebyshev approximation methods of transfer functions T(p) are presented. The T(p) are converted into filter circuits by the transfer impedance synthesis method or the Darlington insertion loss synthesis method. Transformation equations convert low pass filters into high pass, band pass, and band reject filters. We show how to write AC analysis and TRAN transient response Spice programs that document filter performance.We include useful experiments that give you real world experience. We consider the experiments to be significant learning activities. The experiments include elementary RLC filters, Bell Telephone Laboratories filters, active filters using op amps, and filters derived via approximations. The presentations are eminently clear, because they are based on the policies assume nothing and nothing is obvious. The present text's contents are topics one actually uses when engaged in analog filter design.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series Vol 3 CMOS Circcuit Design - Analog, digital, IC Layout This university level Electrical Engineering text is for anyone who wants to know how to design products using CMOS circuits. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire the skills of CMOS circuit design as well as the skill making Integrated Circuit Chip Layouts. We present a thorough foundation so that you can proceed to learn how to design and layout CMOS circuits. This text is different from other CMOS design texts, because not only do we actually show how to design CMOS circuits selecting transistor Length, Width and the correct value of mobility (a small detail that is usually overlooked if not ignored) we show how to make accurate, functioning circuit layouts that can be used in a chip. Furthermore we ask you to work hard drawing over 60 layouts that give you real world experience. This is not about logic design. This is about IC design from basic circuits to IC layout. CMOS technology is the preferred technology for implementing modern digital and analog integrated circuits. We show, step by step, how layouts are made that conform to Mosis rules. A brief review of MOS transistors sets the stage for CMOS circuit design. Digital circuits with no memory implement logic equations as sums of minterms (OR of ANDs) or products of maxterms (AND of ORs). We show how to design circuits such as NOT (Inverter), NAND, NOR, XOR, Multiplexer, and Adder. As we proceed we show how to plan and execute layouts for each circuit. One bit digital circuits with memory are used in state machines. The RS Latch is the most elementary one-bit circuit with memory. Latches do not have clock inputs, whereas flip-flops and edge triggered flip-flops are one-bit memory circuits with clock inputs. The flip-flops are synchronous circuits. We show how to design and layout the RS Latch and the D edge triggered flip-flop. We show that the JK design and layout is a straightforward adaptation of the D design and layout. The D and JK edge triggered flip-flops are the flip-flop circuits in commercial use today. Next the emphasis is on digital circuits that are an assembly of identical cells, such as the cell of a shift register. The integrated circuit layout of an assembly of cells is an orderly, repetitive pattern. Orderly, repetitive patterns are intrinsically free of layout errors. We say orderly layouts are mandatory for non trivial circuits (random logic layouts are high risk). We show how to make orderly systematic layouts, and how to write Spice programs that evaluate their performance. We design and layout well known digital circuits such as shift registers, storage registers with load control, registers on a bus, and programmable logic arrays of logic with no memory. The well known current mirror, differential amplifier, operational amplifier, resistors and capacitors are designed and their performance is evaluated by Spice. Layout procedures for the circuits as well as the resistors and capacitors are presented. Spice is used to plot DC response, AC frequency response, and TRAN transient response performance of circuits that are analyzed and designed in the text. We show how to write these programs. We ask you to draw over 60 layouts, which we consider to be useful experiments that give you real world experience. We consider drawing the more than 60 layouts to be a significant learning activity. The presentations are eminently clear, because they are based on the policies assume nothing and nothing is obvious. The present text's contents are topics one actually uses when engaged in CMOS circuit analysis and design.

This is about the fundamental ideas of Arithmetic, the theory of Arithmetic and understanding why and how Arithmetic works. This is about effective use of the practical procedures for addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. Practical procedures you use when doing Arithmetic.This is about what are now standard algorithms for integer addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division that are recognized by the world wide mathematical community. Knowing and understanding the algorithms means one has moved beyond rote knowledge of arithmetic.Integer division creates simple fractions, which can be converted to decimal fractions. We present the theory of fractions and decimals as a straightforward extension of integer arithmetic.The basic laws defining operations are presented in the last chapter in order to avoid piling on new information in earlier chapters. The laws make very clear the operations on numbers that are permissible, and why. Studying the laws reviews the entire subject.In this text know that elementary algebra is used for general explanations such as if n is a number then n+1 is the next number, and specific numbers are used in examples. And, instead of taking up many pages with arithmetic problems, the reader is asked to select pairs of numbers to add, multiply, subtract and divide. However fraction and decimal problems, and their solutions, are included.The Standard Arithmetic Algorithms The word standard implies that we can order a document from a recognized Arithmetic Standards organization. We cannot do that, because we have not found such an organization. Nevertheless the world wide mathematical community recognizes what have evolved into standard algorithms for integer addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. There are minor variations from country to country that are of no significance, because the underlying mathematical ideas are the same.We describe and fully explain the standard algorithms for addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. The explanations emphasize ideas and procedures that always produce a solution. Perhaps you will agree with us when we say these algorithms are extraordinary discoveries.An algorithm is a procedure, requiring no creative skills of the user, with precise instructions, specifying a finite number of steps, so that sooner or later the procedure ends.A specific virtue of the arithmetic algorithms is that they solve an N digit problem one digit at a time. Repeat: one digit at a time. In other words one N-digit problem becomes N one-digit problems (one 5-digit problem becomes five 1-digit problems).This is important, because one-digit problems are done in one's mind.Algorithms are used, because they are methods that show how to solve every possible problem. Algorithms always produce a solution.We believe knowing how to apply the algorithms means one understands what arithmetic is about.Using the algorithms with understanding enhances your mathematical skills. Progress is subtle, and real. Know this about the relationship of practical procedures to the algorithms.The practical procedures implementing the standard algorithms use the algorithm's steps in a subtle way in order to be efficient. Consequently the procedures seem to be very different from the algorithms. They are not.Who can benefit from reading this text? Anybody who wants to be effective when doing Arithmetic. You may be a student who suspects he/she is being short changed by the system. You may be a school teacher, not trained in math, who is assigned to teach Arithmetic. You may be a parent, concerned about what is not taught in school, who is willing to make the effort to introduce these ideas to your children. You may be a person who wants to improve your math capability. Perhaps who is anyone who wants to know, and who wants to be able to do.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series Volume 3This university level Electrical Engineering text is for anyone who wants to know how to design products using digital logic circuits. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire the skills of digital design. We present a thorough foundation so that you can proceed to learn how to design any digital system.This text is different from the many introductory digital design texts, because we actually design a product by implementing a design and not just talk about logic circuits used in a digital circuit. And, we ask you to work hard doing experiments so that you acquire real world experience with commercially available digital circuits. In other words this is about real learning.We start at the beginning by presenting a top down design method for digital systems.We learn about three basic tools necessary to execute any digital design - Truth Tables, Karnaugh maps, and Switching Algebra.The basic circuits of digital logic are building blocks without memory. They are standard commercially available logic circuits, which are described and their equations are presented. We only use standard products. Furthermore we show how to use mixed logic that simplifies digital design.The ASM (algorithmic state machine) chart, a fourth tool, is the preferred way to implement the algorithm representing the product you want to design. We show how to implement ASM charts, derive truth tables from them, and how to convert the truth tables to digital circuits. The ASM-chart-to-product process is straightforward.The design of complex building blocks with memory is based on elementary blocks with one bit memory also known as flip-flops. Designs are implemented by the ASM method. We show how to use ASM's to design up and up/down synchronous counters, shift registers, and linear feedback shift registers using standard products.This is followed by showing how to design memory systems with and without a cache hierarchy. We explain, and then show how to add error correction and control to the memory system. ASM charts and associated timing diagrams allow us to readily implement the designs. These are charts and timing diagrams we have not found anywhere else.A computer has two basic parts - computer control and a datapath for executing instructions. We define a user instruction set (uI), the uI address modes, and how the uI are formatted as binary words. Status bits NCZV and their condition codes that implement program control are defined. We show how each uI is represented by a list of micro instructions mI that is executed by the datapath, and how the datapath executes the mI.For large circuit designs text capture of digital designs is preferred to schematic capture. Verilog uses text capture to represent digital circuits with a hierarchy of modules that are interconnected via input and output ports. We show by example how to write modules defining digital circuits so that you can move on to multi 1,000 gate chip designs using Verilog, which is a hardware description language (HDL).The presentations are eminently clear, because they are based on the policies assume nothing and nothing is obvious.The present text's contents are topics one actually uses when engaged in digital circuit analysis and design.Eight experiments are included that give life to the text's contents, and provide the reader with real world experience with making measurements, using instruments, and learning about all kinds of parts. We consider the experiments to be significant learning activities.

This university level text is for anyone who wants to know how to analyze and, in time, design electric and then electronic circuits with transistors in the next text in our series.The text includes experiments that give life to the text's contents, and provide you with real world experience.\This text gets the EE101 job done in about 300 pages at a reasonable price.Once you have made your way through this text you will be able to do a node or mesh analysis of any linear circuit, while understanding resistors R, capacitors C, inductors L, transformers & mutual inductance M, as well as independent and dependent sources of current and voltage.Furthermore design examples and procedures begin to show you the way to what really matters - being able to design.You do not have to know anything about electricity to use this text, because the text starts with the brilliant experiments that discovered electricity, which revealed that electricity is charge q at rest and in motion. The experiments started up what has become the electronics business.Then we show that there are two basic classes of laws (1) connection constraints, which are Kirchhoffs' laws showing how currents and voltages in any circuit relate to each other and (2) voltage-current vi constraints for resistors, capacitors and inductors showing how current relates to voltage in each component.We explain capacitors C and inductors L as we derive their simple differential equation voltage-current constraints, which escalate the math required to the calculus.Transformers based on mutual inductance M are explained as we derive their equivalent circuits and frequency response.Two general analysis methods, node and mesh, are presented so that you can analyze any circuit. The node method is based on Kirchhoff's current connection constraint law, and the mesh method is based on Kirchhoff's voltage connection constraint law.We show how to use the Laplace Transform Method to find any circuit's frequency response as well as the transient response. We show how straightforward the Laplace Transform is to use. Frequency responses are important, because many circuit design goals are a specified over a range of frequencies.Transient response shows how a circuit responds to signals. Hendrick Bode invented a widely adopted method for making graphical displays of the magnitude and phase of the electric circuit frequency response equations generated by the Laplace Transform.Here is something we have yet to see in any book. The reactance chart is a graphical display of the impedance magnitude of R, L, and C components over a frequency range. The log-log scales span many decades of magnitude and frequency on one page. We show how to use this eminently practical chart for making estimates and selecting "in the ballpark" values for components appropriate to the problem at hand.We give the simulation program Spice a significant role in the text. Spice does the nitty gritty numerical calculations and data plotting for you. Spice is used in most chapters to calculate results and plot data. Spice has an important role in the modern design process.Many useful ideas and important topics are found in the Appendix.The good news is that a mathematical theory for analysis and synthesis is available. The mathematics takes several forms. There is the traditional form of written mathematics. There is Spice, a software form, using mathematics behind the scenes to evaluate circuit performance. And, there are Bode diagrams and Reactance charts that are graphical forms that convert electric circuit mathematics into comprehensible displays. We use all of these forms in the text.

Curt Dalton writes about 10 incredible, but true, stories of Dayton murders that took place during the city's first one hundred years, including...* John McAfee, whose murder of his wife and affair with the girl next door still lives on in song nearly two hundred years later* Francis Dick, who bludgeoned his mother-in-law in an attempt to win back his wife* John Dobbins, a Civil War deserter who danced a "hoe-down" on his way to the scaffold* James Murphy, the lieutenant of a Dayton street gang, who was hung twice for his crimes... and more tales of murder, violence and suicide from the Gem City.
