Lee Hunter is an ex Metropolitan Police Chief Inspector, who resigned from the service a couple of years ago, after falling foul of management, largely due to his out-of-control drinking. Not only did he lose his job, but his marriage and family quickly follow. Having moved from London, he now lives in an English seaside town called Southport, 'where no one knows my name' he thinks, soon that will change and not for the better. Hunter establishes Detective Agency, but soon finds himself in debt and under threat of death if those liabilities aren't repaid, and with no customers, things are looking very bleak indeed. He receives a visit from a beautiful woman who offers him a job and the chance to pay back all his debts. However, the job offer only to adds to his problems, as does the request to find a teenager who has gone missing under mysterious circumstances. Hunter finds himself in a web of murder, corruption and deceit involving the Police, gangland bosses and millionaire business owners. Things quickly go wrong, the body count begins to rise, and Lee Hunter swiftly becomes the prime suspect.

Good news, Russell Howard fans!It's time to take a butcher's into the mad, rib-tickling, insane yet lovable world of the one of the UK's favourite comedians.Abi Smith heads deep into the West Country to discover how people from as far as Midsomer Norton, Somerset to Minneapolis, USA fell in love with this energetic, mesmerising, boyishly blond Bristolian.How exactly has Russell, the kid who used to sleep with his underpants on his head in an effort to cure his acne, become the geezer who is now headlining shows at the O2 Arena, Wembley and the Royal Albert Hall?How has the timid boy who wouldn't speak at family gatherings because he was too shy become a TV panel-show heavyweight?How has the teen who wore his jeans back-to-front because he thought he looked like a cool rapper become an award-winning stand-up with a string of worldwide sell-out tours to his name?He might describe himself as the 'munter' of all his friends with his wonky teeth and lazy eye, but there is something rather special about this good-natured, good-fun dude whose favourite topics of stand-up quite often include his mother's hilarious antics.One things for sure, he might have been bullied at school, had haircuts from hell and missed out on a career as a footballer but he is certainly having the last laugh now - and we are in the front row laughing out-loud with him.
Artificial neural networks are nonlinear mapping systems whose structure is loosely based on principles observed in the nervous systems of humans and animals. The basic idea is that massive systems of simple units linked together in appropriate ways can generate many complex and interesting behaviors. This book focuses on the subset of feedforward artificial neural networks called multilayer perceptrons (MLP). These are the mostly widely used neural networks, with applications as diverse as finance (forecasting), manufacturing (process control), and science (speech and image recognition).This book presents an extensive and practical overview of almost every aspect of MLP methodology, progressing from an initial discussion of what MLPs are and how they might be used to an in-depth examination of technical factors affecting performance. The book can be used as a tool kit by readers interested in applying networks to specific problems, yet it also presents theory and references outlining the last ten years of MLP research.
In this thought-provoking study, Jack Russell Weinstein suggests the foundations of liberalism can be found in the writings of Adam Smith (1723–1790), a pioneer of modern economic theory and a major figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. While offering an interpretive methodology for approaching Smith’s two major works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations, Weinstein argues against the libertarian interpretation of Smith, emphasizing his philosophies of education and rationality. Weinstein also demonstrates that Smith should be recognized for a prescient theory of pluralism that prefigures current theories of cultural diversity.
Bill Russell and the New Orleans Jazz Revival
Ray Smith; Mike Pointon
Equinox Publishing Ltd

Born in 1905, Bill Russell demonstrated diverse musical interests from an early age. A contemporary of John Cage, Henry Cowell and Lou Harrison, his significance as a percussion composer is well known among aficionados and his work as a musicologist of New Orleans jazz music is equally acclaimed. He was a major figure in the revival of interest in the music of that city, notably from his recordings of trumpet player Bunk Johnson in the 1940s. He became the first curator of the Tulane Jazz Archives when they were established in 1958. This is the first full-length book about Bill Russell's life that is largely 'in his own words'. It is based on personal interviews conducted with Russell about the diversity of his life's work, interspersed with views and anecdotes from his friends and associates written especially for the book, together with archive material and a wealth of photos. These sources are woven together to give a portrait of an extremely talented, modest man who forsook an academic career to become a champion of the music and musicians of New Orleans.
