John Bell Hood
An award-winning biography of one of the Confederacy’s most successful—and most criticized—generals. Winner of the 2014 Albert Castel Book Award and the 2014 Walt Whitman Award John Bell Hood died at forty-eight after a brief illness in August 1879, leaving behind the first draft of his memoirs, Advance and Retreat: Personal Experiences in the United States and Confederate States Armies. Published posthumously the following year, the memoirs immediately became as controversial as their author. A careful and balanced examination of these controversies, however, coupled with the recent discovery of Hood’s personal papers—which were long considered lost—finally sets the record strai...
Audio Electronics
Audio Electronics provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of audio electronics. This book discusses the parallel development in the various transducers and interface devices used to generate and reproduce electrical signals. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins with an overview of the basic method of digitally encoding an analog signal that entails repetitively sampling the input signal at sufficiently brief intervals. This text then examines the major attraction of the FM broadcasting system to allow the transmission of a high quality stereo signal without significant degradation of audio quality. Other chapters consider the conventional practice to interpose a versatile pre-amplifier unit between the power amplifier and the external signal sources. This book discusses as well the requirements for voltage gain stages in both audio amplifiers and integrated-circuit operational amplifiers. The final chapter deals with the significance of the power supply unit. This book is a valuable resource for professional recording and audio engineers.
Mountain Folk
John Hood's new novel Mountain Folk uses elements of folklore and epic fantasy to tell the story of America's founding in a fresh and exciting way. Goran is one of the rare fairies who can live without magical protection in the Blur, the human world where the days pass twenty times faster than in fairy realms. Goran's secret missions for the Rangers Guild take him across the British colonies of North America - from far-flung mountains and rushing rivers to frontier farms and bustling towns. Along the way, Goran encounters Daniel Boone, George Washington, an improbably tall dwarf, a mysterious water maiden, and a series of terrifying monsters from European and Native American legend. But when Goran is ordered to help the other fairy nations of the New World crush the American Revolution, he must choose between a solemn duty to his own people and fierce loyalty to his human friends and the principles they hold dear."

Old Killearn, Balfron and Fintry
The villages of Killearn, Balfron and Fintry prospered in the late eighteenth century when water-powered mills were built along the banks of the River Endrick. Steam power killed off the mills but improved transport links in the form of railway connections and better roads ensured the villages didn't sink into obscurity. This book includes a historic view of Robert Dunmore's long-demolished mill in Balfron, and a picture of Peter Spier's former Fintry Mill. Elsewhere sylvan scenes of Edwardian life in these pretty rural communities predominate, recalling country life and practices in what are now upmarket dormitory villages.
Old Dalmuir
From the late eighteenth century the areas of Dalmuir Glen and Dalmuir Shore were subject to industrial developments such as calico printworks, paper mills, and even soda manufacturing, but it was the opening of workshops by the Clyde Navigation Trust in 1859 and Beardmore's Dalmuir Naval Construction Works in 1906 which had the most impact. The local community expanded as a result and when Beardmore's closed in 1931 it was a massive blow. However, employment was still readily available at the shipyards in nearby Clydebank and, together with a wide range of good-quality housing, excellent local schools and community facilities, Dalmuir residents enjoyed a reasonably comfortable standard of living. This was a time when crowds and marching bands would turn out for the opening of Dalmuir Park, trams provided easy access into Clydebank and Glasgow, and local lads were assured of an apprenticeship at one of the yards. This history recalls these facets of Dalmuir life and many more amongst its 54 period photographs.

Valve and Transistor Audio Amplifiers
The audio amplifier is at the heart of audio design. Its performance determines largely the performance of any audio system. John Linsley Hood is widely regarded as the finest audio designer around, and pioneered design in the post-valve era. His mastery of audio technology extends from valves to the latest techniques. This is John Linsley Hood's greatest work yet, describing the milestones that have marked the development of audio amplifiers since the earliest days to the latest systems. Including classic amps with valves at their heart and exciting new designs using the latest components, this book is the complete world guide to audio amp design. John Linsley Hood is responsible for numero...
Hood's Bow
There's a story you might have heard about an outlaw named Hood. Well, that story was wrong. Very wrong. Hood was a man to be remembered alright, but not for the reasons you're thinking of. After all, an outlaw's an outlaw for a good reason. This dark and twisted tale leaves no death out, no gut-churning detail is eluded. For this bandit's ambition rose higher than the tallest castle in England and his arrows tore through more flesh than a butcher. The thought of being forgotten galled the bowman, worse, it became an obsession. Which man, after all, does not want their name sculpted into history and their lives fashioned into words on a page? Hood wanted this and more. His fingers grasped at the strings of life, pulling all he could and searching for a kind of immortality. This, however, comes at a cost. A cost that's measured in buckets of blood and shrouded in death.
