Cupboard Love
'Let's face it. Your relationship with your kitchen has got to the point where you only really make an effort when there are others around. And do you remember the last time the two of you had people over? It was supposed to be a fun night but it got a bit stressful ...' Tom Norrington-Davies has the solution for those who don't want to live off ready meals, but can't cope with the impossible culinary standards of some 'lifestyle' chefs. CUPBOARD LOVE includes recipes for salsa verde, cabbage and chorizo soup, green chicken curry and chocolate souffle cake, all of which you can make at home rather than having to pay for the packaging and additives of ready meals.
Mainstreaming Black Power
"The traditional narrative of the civil rights movement has been that the more moderate demands of the mainstream movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., worked, but that the more "radical" demands of the Black Power movement derailed further success. Mainstreaming Black Power upends the traditional narrative by showing how Black Power Activists in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles during the 1960s through the 1970s navigated the nexus of public policies, black community organizations, elected officials, and liberal foundations. Tom Adam Davies unites local and national perspectives and reveals how the efforts of mainstream white politicians, institutions, and organizations engaged with Black Power ideology, and how they ultimately limited both the pace and extent of change."--Provided by publisher.

Protection of Industrial Power Systems
The protection which is installed on an industrial power system is likely to be subjected to more difficult conditions than the protection on any other kind of power system. Starting with the many simple devices which are employed and covering the whole area of industrial power system protection, this book aims to help achieve a thorough understanding of the protection necessary. vital aspects such as the modern cartridge fuse, types of relays, and the role of the current transformer are covered and the widely used inverse definite-minimum time overcurrent relay, the theory of the Merz-Price protection system and the development of the high-impedance relay system are critically examined. This new edition has come about in response to the dramatic change from the use of electro-magnetic relays to electronic and micro-processor relays which figure in practically all new installations. Therefore, although the theory and usage are the same, the application can be much improved owing to the increased range and accuracy and the added facilities provided with the modern relays. This book reflects the change and explains the technical advantages.
