Steven Wilson has been described by The Telegraph as 'probably the most successful British musician most people have never heard of'. His last three solo albums have made the top five in the UK, and he played to over a quarter of a million people on his last tour. A self-taught musician, songwriter and producer, Wilson grew up wanting to be a pop star. His early band No-Man signed for a major label but instead, he gained a dedicated following and chart success with his band Porcupine Tree, who eventually sold out the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2010 before a 12-year revival in 2022. Porcupine Tree are the subject of Nick Holmes' first book in this series. Wilson became known as the 'King of Prog' when some of his solo albums featured long-form songs, virtuosic musicians and complex concepts. But he has always enjoyed surprising his fans, and his solo work also includes jazz, indie rock, pop and electronic music. Whatever the genre, his music shares strong melodies, profound lyrics, thoughtful concepts and high production values. Including Wilson's latest album The Harmony Codex, this book is a forensic and illuminating analysis of Wilson's solo albums, EPs and bonus tracks.

Spotlight on First is a fully comprehensive course that has been revised to be in line with the new Cambridge English exam specifications for January 2015. It prepares adults and younger learners to excel in the revised exam. An exciting new feature of this revised edition is the Ideas Generator. Test takers need to generate ideas to pass the Speaking and Writing papers of the exam. The Ideas Generator uses National Geographic videos to stimulate students' interest in common exam topics, help them build ideas about these topics and gather the language they need to effectively write or speak about them. After each video lesson students will have a bank of ideas, functional language and vocabulary tied to eight topics that commonly appear in the exam. One of the most difficult parts of the exam for students is the Speaking Test. The Speaking Test videos and worksheets prepare students to deal with this challenge by getting them to engage with simulations of all four parts of the Speaking test.
More than 25 years ago I found the inert material, silicon, for my therapy exercise. In my voice therapy I used with all patients the palpable inert tube, that was named LAX VOX. Thanks to the multi-sensory feed-back they quickly understood and felt relief. They eagerly started the daily training and did not wish long therapy. Basing on the patient's remarks I composed explanations in colloquial language and illustrations. - The oral pressure rises due to the water, and prevents excessive laryngeal tensions and improves the control of breathing. The conscious motor model serves as the bridge to habitual ergonomic speech. - I wanted to test this exercise truly, asking the patients' own opinions. The efficacy of the LAX VOX®-tube aided short voice therapy, 3-5 sessions, was tested five times during one year from two points of view, the Voice Activation and Participation Profiles, and the severity of dysphonic symptoms. The results show statistically significant improvements.

A powerful collection of new and recently completed poems by Ben Okri covering topics of the day, such as the refugee crisis, racism, Obama, the Grenfell Tower fire, and the Corona outbreak. In our times of crisis The mind has its powers This book brings together many of Ben Okri's most acclaimed and politically charged poems. Some of them, like 'Grenfell Tower, June 2017', are already familiar. Published in the Financial Times less than ten days after the fire, it was played more than 6 million times on Channel 4's Facebook page, and was retweeted by thousands on Twitter. 'Notre-Dame is Telling Us Something' was first read on BBC Radio 4, in the aftermath of the cathedral's near destruction. It spoke eloquently of the despair that was felt around the world. In 'shaved head poem', Ben Okri wrote of the confusion and anxiety felt as the world grappled with a health crisis unprecedented in our times. 'Breathing the Light' was his response to the events of summer 2020, when a black man died beneath the knee of a white policeman, a tragedy sparking a movement for change. These poems, and others including poems for Ken Saro-Wiwa, Barack Obama, Amnesty and more, make this a uniquely powerful collection that blends anger and tenderness with Ben Okri's inimitable vision.

David Poole's innovative LINEAR ALGEBRA: A MODERN INTRODUCTION, 4e emphasizes a vectors approach and better prepares students to make the transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and applications, the book is written in a conversational style and combines a traditional presentation with a focus on student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational, and applied topics are presented in a flexible yet integrated way. Stressing geometric understanding before computational techniques, vectors and vector geometry are introduced early to help students visualize concepts and develop mathematical maturity for abstract thinking. Additionally, the book includes ample applications drawn from a variety of disciplines, which reinforce the fact that linear algebra is a valuable tool for modeling real-life problems.
