The present handbook is an excellent collection of twenty-eight chapters showing different approaches to the pronunciation. The authors of this volume have aimed it mainly for teachers of English language as well as for the linguists; however, this book can also be used for the self-study, i.e. by all people willing to improve their pronunciation and to understand the meanings and forms of it.

Note that the book also includes some chapters considered important in understanding the whole role of correct pronunciation in the analysis and description of the language. The handbook is very timely and useful, taking into account that the pronunciation is something that will never go away and something that influences the spoken language directly. A proper knowledge of English pronunciation is critically important.

Of course, getting to the native-like accent is next to impossible for most adult learners, but still the pronunciation is some sort of gateway to spoken intelligibility, as it is so closely tied to social meanings and helps distinguish the language dialects, informal and formal speech registers etc. Well, we cannot say that this book is an easy-reading, but would still recommend it to the learners of English who really need to significantly improve the pronunciation skills.

Here is a truly excellent and world popular textbook explaining the basics of the electricity and electronics. The readers of this publication will get to know the most important how and whys quite behind the basic course of electronics and electricity, and communications without actual formal training.

This book presents an excellent combination of a good home reference, self teaching guide and classroom text - it has been significantly updated to deliver all very latest technological and scientific advances. It will also be very useful for both amateur and commercial licensing exams. The author of the textbook, Stan Gibilisco, is an electronics legend and one of the most popular contemporary authors. The publication is widely supplemented with more than six hundred illustrations, test questions and practical examples.

This book shall definitely be treated as the expert how-to reference on solving the most popular problems related to the electrics and electronics, such as basic power calculations, simple voltage-resistance-current characteristics determinates, designing electrical circuits and electrical systems, acoustical- and audio systems. Note that this latest release of the book reflects the very latest technological advances in such areas as computer electronics, transmitters, amplifiers, and even the internet...  

The present title will tell readers everything they need to know about the ships electric installations. It contains the easily readable information on the basic design and principles of power generation, energy distribution to all consumers on board as well as ship automation, various nautical equipment and remote control systems, communication systems etc.

The publication is aimed to people who already have some basic knowledge of the electrical installations on board vessels or the electrical installations ashore. It is also intended to provide some simplified principles of electricity as well as the specific requirements for vessels. Take some time reading this book and you will have a necessary knowledge of the principles of electricity including the special application onboard ships. This publication was prepared aiming to help all readers who are involved with making decisions affecting the design, installation, subsequent testing, operation, maintenance and repair of the electrical systems installed on board vessels.

The book starts with the chapter describing the very basics of electricity, followed by the chapters on basic design criteria, one line diagram and electrical load balance. Next chapters are dedicated to the mains voltage selection, alternate current sources, type approved electric equipment, emergency power sources, short-circuit calculation, switchboards, cables, alarm/monitoring systems, communication, lighting, safety systems, nautical equipment, dynamic positioning systems, automatics etc.
