Book Description
Trapped between love and lust, Sue-Ling flees Beijing, taking one daughter, Jay-Ann, with her to Hong Kong, and leaving the younger one, Jay-May, behind. Jay-Ann, beautiful yet headstrong, is a prisoner to vanity. She craves undiluted love, but has to share her mother's attention with her sister, who is like a phantom that keeps taking things away from her, but she has no way to fight back. In contrast, Jay-May is timid and sweet, growing up in Beijing with her grandma and a neighbor boy named Ming-Wei. When the Culture Revolution comes, they are scattered like chaff in a strong wind. From Beijing to Inner Mongolia, from Hong Kong to California, Jay-Ann, Jay-May and Ming-Wei brave pain and suffering in this troublesome age and emerge altered yet stronger. They are like lines separated by 90 degrees. No matter how far away they are from each other, their roots always join together at the base. Above all, a love endures tribulation and blossoms into something more powerful than death.

Sound Systems: Design and Optimization
Author: Bob McCarthy
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1136123970
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
With this definitive guide to sound reinforcement design and optimization, Bob McCarthy shares his expert knowledge and effective methodology developed from decades of field and teaching experience. This book is written for the field professional as well as the consultant or student, in a clear and easy-to-read style and illustrated with color diagrams and screenshots throughout. McCarthy's unique guide reveals the proven techniques to ensure that your sound system design can be optimized for maximum uniformity over the space. The book follows the audio signal path from the mix console to the audience and provides comprehensive information as to how the sound is spread over the listening area. The complex nature of the physics of speaker interaction over a listening space is revealed in terms readily understandable to audio professionals. Complex speaker arrays are broken down systematically and the means to design systems that are capable of being fully optimized for maximum spatial uniformity is shown. The methods of alignment are shown, including measurement mic placement, and step-by-step recipes for equalization, delay setting, level setting, speaker positioning and acoustic treatment. These principles and techniques are applicable to the simplest and most complex systems alike, from the single speaker to the multi-element "line array.
