<p>Newnes Amateur Radio Computing Handbook discusses the applications of computers in amateur radio and short wave listening. The book is comprised of 16 chapters that deal with the various concerns in amateur radio computing. The coverage of the text includes equipment, such as packet slow scan television (SSTV) and facsimile (FAX), packet radio, and commercial decoding equipment. The book also discusses the software used in amateur radio, such as satellite and geographical software, logkeeping and QSL software, and software for electronic design. The text will be of great use to individuals who want to utilize their computer in short wave radio listening.</p>

In this handbook, the author has divided the information into two parts, the first covering the "science" side of the subject and the second covering the use of sets. The first section provides information ranging from a few simple electrical "first principles" through a brief treatment of radio transmission methods to simple receivers. The emphasis is on practical receiver designs and how to build and modify them, with several circuits in the book (from the crystal set to converts, regenerative receivers, direct conversion and simple superheterodyne sets). Various "peripherals", such as aerial tuners, filters, preselectors, noiselimiters and CW and RTTY terminal units are also covered. In the second section concerning the use of sets, the author discusses what can be heard, the various bands, propagation, identification of stations, sources of information, QSLing of stations and listening to amateurs. Some computer techniques, such as computer morse decoding and radio teletype decoding are also covered along with computerized record keeping and other applications of the computer in the shack. Interference sources and cures are also investigated.

The subject of chaos and fractals has come into popular prominence in the last few years mainly because fractals can create stunning graphical images on computers. Indeed, many magazines have carried programs to generate what is probably the "hallmark" of the field, the Mandelbrot set. However, beyond the aesthetic pleasure of these images the science of chaos has implications for us all, in areas as diverse as next week's weather, Jupiter's famous "red spot", and heart attacks. Chaos is likely to cause as much change in the way that scientists think of the world as did the replacement of Newton's classical mechanics with the quantumn theory. Despite this, the basic principles are breathtakingly simple, and anyone with a home computer can get involved and perhaps make a contribution to this still young science.

The subject of chaos and fractals has come into popular prominence in the last few years due, in the main, to the fact that the fractals can create stunning graphical images on computers. Indeed, many magazines have carried programs to generate what is probably the hallmark of the field, the Mandelbrot set.Chaos is likely to cause as much change in the way that scientists think of the world as did replacement of Newton's classical mechanics with quantum theory. Despite this, the basic principles are breathtakingly simple, and anyone with a home computer can get involved and conceivably make a contribution to this still very young science.The Chaos Cookbook have been designed to provide food for thought for computer hobbyists, PC users, students and anyone interested in the subject, and will provide a useful starting point before goin g into the more specialist works in the field.The idea of this book is to provide a cookery book for various chaotic systems, and, like all recipes, experimentation will often give new and unexpected results. So, use the programs contained in this book as starting points for your own work.

This is a heart-warming love story written by Joe Pritchard as he reflected back over nearly 62 years of married life with his wife, Maddy. Joe selected the title for this book based upon an event that occurred when Maddy was a student in high school. The teacher asked what Maddy wanted to do in life. Maddy said she was going to fly airplanes! Her teacher laughed, "Then you'd better eat your spinach!" Well, Maddy must have eaten lots of spinach because she fulfilled her dream of flying airplanes and so much more as she and Joe shared life together. They embodied the very best of what news commentator, Tom Brokaw, once called, “the greatest generation of all.” You are in for a quite a treat as you read this wonderful love story!
