Product Description
The early church really was a church on the move. It was dynamic and exhilarating and there really was a sense of things happening. There were, undoubtedly, dangerous and challenging times for the early Christians, but they were exciting times as Gods Holy Spirit was at work amongst the leaders and the ordinary people. While we may look back with longing to such days, God has called us to serve him with the gospel of his grace in our own day, and we may do so with the help of such instruction as is to be found in this book. ...

Product Description
This book brings together branches of chemistry and mineralogy, a rapidly expanding area of science where a book is needed to bring together the "strands". It will be valuable for an understanding of the development of oxidised zones of sulfide orebodies, and has been written with the chemist, mineralogist, and exploration geologist in mind. It examines the basis of formation of secondary minerals in the supergene zone, and reviews the chemistry behind the dispersion of metallic elements in such environments. Parallels are drawn between this chemistry, heavy metal pollution and exploration geochemistry involving secondary dispersion. This volume will be of interest to geochemists, mineral chemists, metallurgists and applied geologists. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary.

Doesn't understand evolution
The author's erroneous understanding of evolution undermines everything that he writes. An article he wrote in 2004 to refute Dawkins, falsely claims that Dawkins considers a shadow that looks like JFK's profile to be a 'designoid'. The author is either very dishonest or very uneducated, either way I would recommend reading his material only to see the depth that intelligent design advocates will sink to. ... Read more

Not the greatest
Not exactly the greatest book I've ever owned...the computer background information is woeful (I found 3 glaring mistakes in 70 pages of material by just skimming).The book has generally good information on the software it covers and a pretty good intro to MIDI.

Not what I expected
I expected a careful, general overview of the various uses of technology in music.This book is clearly for a classroom that uses Macs and the specific software indicated.There is not one entry for Finale, nor microphone/recording techniques.The book is pretentious in its organization (academic music ed. types) and woefully lacking in providing the required general overview of concepts, and prefers to teach specific software applications, many of which are not mainstream.

Great Resource:Experiencing Music Technology
This is a great resource for a lot of people. Whethr you are a music teacher looking to enhance your music teachning with some technology, or you are a professor wanting a textbook for a music technology class you areteaching, this book has something worth-while. David B. Williams and PeterR. Webster are veterans in the field with many years' experience.

Awesome Book!
I am a student of Dr. Williams, author, and I think that this book is amazing.It's probably the easiest reading textbook I have ever had.I don't get bored when I read this book like I do other text books.This isa must have for music tech students!!

Very informative for beginners in the Music Technology field
My Music Technology class used this for last semester. It has a broad overview of the technology of Music Engineering ranging from MIDI to running the Macintosh OS. One of the best things about it is the fact thatit uses mostly simple language to explain the topics it covers. Any MusicTech. student would be advised to purchase this book. Many Music Ed. majorsI know also use this book. It covers how to utilize computer software inMusic Theory classes and composing classes. ... Read more
