In this toe-tapping jazz tribute, the traditional "This Old Man" gets a swinging makeover, and some of the era's best musicians take center stage. The tuneful text and vibrant illustrations bop, slide, and shimmy across the page as Satchmo plays one, Bojangles plays two . . . right on down the line to Charles Mingus, who plays nine, plucking strings that sound "divine." Easy on the ear and the eye, this playful introduction to nine jazz giants will teach children to count--and will give them every reason to get up and dance! Includes a brief biography of each musician.

An exploration of how espionage narratives give access to cultural conceptions of gender and sexuality before and following the Second World War, this book moves away from masculinist assumptions of the genre to offer an integrative survey of the sexualities on display from important characters across spy fiction. Topics covered include how authors mocked the traditional spy genre; James Bond as a symbol of pervasive British Superiority still anxious about masculinity; how older female spies act as queer figures that disturb the masculine mythology of the secret agent; and how the clandestine lives of agents described ways to encode queer communities under threat from fascism. Covering texts such as the Bond novels, John Le Carré's oeuvre (and their notable adaptations) and works by Helen MacInnes, Christopher Isherwood and Mick Herron, Sexuality and Gender in Fictions of Espionage takes stock of spy fiction written by women, female protagonists written by men, and probes the representations of masculinity generated by male authors. Offering a counterpoint to a genre traditionally viewed as male-centric, Sexuality and Gender in Fictions of Espionage proposes a revision of masculinity, femininity, queer identities and gendered concepts such as domesticity, and relates them to notions of nationality and the defence work conducted at crucial moments in history.

Intelligent information and database systems are two closely related and we- established subfields of modern computer science. They focus on the integration of artificial intelligence and classic database technologies in order to create the class of next generation information systems. The major target of this new gene- tion of systems is to provide end-users with intelligent behavior: simple and/or advanced learning, problem solving, uncertain and certain reasoning, se- organization, cooperation, etc. Such intelligent abilities are implemented in classic information systems to make them autonomous and user oriented, in particular when advanced problems of multimedia information and knowledge discovery, access, retrieval and manipulation are to be solved in the context of large, distr- uted and heterogeneous environments. It means that intelligent knowledge-based information and database systems are used to solve basic problems of large coll- tions management, carry out knowledge discovery from large data collections, reason about information under uncertain conditions, support users in their for- lation of complex queries etc. Topics discussed in this volume include but are not limited to the foundations and principles of data, information, and knowledge models, methodologies for intelligent information and database systems analysis, design, implementation, validation, maintenance and evolution.

We must agree that the role of Arts, Commerce & Science are equally important in Career Development to survive, but we have lost the focus on ‘Arts’ or ‘Skills’ in our Education System which used to be our Assets.The goals to write this book is, 1. To develop and make a full-time career in Music Business, Music Performance, Music Production and Sound Reinforcement - The lessons describes the procedures and methods to develop a set of Skills and motivates the reader to become a self-trainable content creator, a performer or a service provider.The lessons describes to learn your responsibilities and motivates to find too many solutions for each problem and applying one of them according to the situation. 2. To spread awareness about right informations of Music Business, Music Performance, Music Production and Sound Reinforcement to the listeners (consumers, music lovers) - The lessons are simplified and properly organised.If we put an analogy of learning all about our music industry with human body analysis, then the first lesson would be about showing you a human body instead of explaining a human intestine. 3. To establish and maintain a long term business environment in Music Industry - The lessons always motivate and encourage the reader to reduce or remove dirty politics and other related loopholes existing in Music Industry by demanding and mentioning terms and responsibilities clearly in contract agreements (in written formats on stamp papers). The author may put some analogy as one of his methods to explain each lesson such as ‘Cooking Techniques’ as ‘Mixing Techniques’; ‘Hot’ as ‘Loud’, where hot can be a touch or taste sensation and loud (loudness or volume control in your remote or a dedicated knob in your playback system) as a listening sensation.If we put an analogy of learning audio recording skills with riding a bike, then the author love to explain the bike riding skills, maintenance of a bike, introducing recent technology used, safety precautions for the biker, traffic rules and regulations, but the author hasn’t explained the features and functions of different products(different brands of bikes), because features and functions changes according to recent technology development.And features and functions of different products (different brands of bikes) can be learnt through their respective official websites so that the learner as a customer will make his / her own decision about purchasing a product (certain brand of a bike) as per his / her requirements. In this book the author may have mentioned few products as examples to focus on the Technology applied in the products; that doesn’t mean he promote those products.We can’t rely on technology to correct major amount of errors because it has some limitations.For a limited time period, the technology can be used to correct a minimum amount of errors.It is better to use technology in methods for practicing more of the arts or skills so that the error will be reduced at the input.
