Over 10 years of photos from Willie's Tropical Tattoo Chopper Time Show! The coolest collection of custom motorcycles and interesting characters that have attended the chopper time show for the past decade.

In this, his sixth collection of shocking exploits, Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read tells more of his astonishing tales of violence and murder with a unique black humour that has made him the most popular criminal today. He candidly and hilariously discusses his notorious life as one of the toughest criminals on the planet. He gives us his insights on the 'psychology of fear' that rules the criminal lifestyle and recounts tales of an array of gangs and criminals Written at the time of the Chopper film release, he reveals his thoughts on the media frenzy and whirlwind of attention created by his success. Hot on the heels of the previous Chopper instalments, Chopper 6 continues the bestselling phenomenon that has made Chopper such an icon.

The chopper is quintessentially American and, since Easy Rider, has embodied the American dream. This book tells the true story of the most rebellious of all motorcycles. The chopper is a quintessentially American invention, rivaling jazz and abstract exp

For close to 30 years, “A Textbook of Applied Electronics” has been a comprehensive text for undergraduate students of Electronics and Communications Engineering. The book comprises of 35 chapters, all delving on important concepts such as structure of solids, DC resistive circuits, PN junction, PN junction diode, rectifiers and filters, hybrid parameters, power amplifiers, sinusoidal oscillators, and time base circuits. In addition, the book consists of several chapter-wise questions and detailed diagrams to understand the complex concepts of applied electronics better. This book is also becomes an essential-read for aspirants preparing for competitive examinations like GATE and NET.

This third edition of the Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry, Three Volume Set provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of spectroscopy and closely related subjects that use the same fundamental principles, including mass spectrometry, imaging techniques and applications. It includes the history, theoretical background, details of instrumentation and technology, and current applications of the key areas of spectroscopy. The new edition will include over 80 new articles across the field. These will complement those from the previous edition, which have been brought up-to-date to reflect the latest trends in the field. Coverage in the third edition includes: Atomic spectroscopy Electronic spectroscopy Fundamentals in spectroscopy High-Energy spectroscopy Magnetic resonance Mass spectrometry Spatially-resolved spectroscopic analysis Vibrational, rotational and Raman spectroscopies The new edition is aimed at professional scientists seeking to familiarize themselves with particular topics quickly and easily. This major reference work continues to be clear and accessible and focus on the fundamental principles, techniques and applications of spectroscopy and spectrometry. Incorporates more than 150 color figures, 5,000 references, and 300 articles for a thorough examination of the field Highlights new research and promotes innovation in applied areas ranging from food science and forensics to biomedicine and health Presents a one-stop resource for quick access to answers and an in-depth examination of topics in the spectroscopy and spectrometry arenas

Electric drives are everywhere, and with the looming promise of electric vehicles and renewable energy, they will become more complex and the demands on their capabilities will continue to increase. To keep up with these trends, students require hands-on knowledge and a keen understanding of the subtleties involved in the operation of modern electric drives. The best-selling first edition of Electric Drives provided such an understanding, and this Second Edition offers the same approach with up-to-date coverage of all major types of electric drives, both constant and variable speed. This book provides a self-contained treatment of low-, medium-, and large-power drives illustrated by numerous application examples, problems, digital simulation results, and test results for both steady state and dynamic operation. This edition features updated material in every chapter, including references; new material on AC brush series motors, capacitor-split inductor motors, single-phase PMSMs and switched reluctance motors, and tooth-wound PMSMs, all with numerical examples; new case studies on AC synchronous and induction motors; and a new chapter on control of electric generators. The companion CD-ROM features the full text, class slides for instructors, and MATLAB® simulations of 10 closed-loop drives, two of which are new to this edition. With a practical, hands-on approach, Electric Drives, Second Edition is the ideal textbook to help students design, simulate, build, and test modern electric drives, from simple to complex.
