Product Description

Lathi's trademark user-friendly and highly readable text presents a complete and modern treatment of communication systems. It begins by introducing students to the basics of communication systems without using probabilistic theory. Only after a solid knowledge base--an understanding of how communication systems work--has been built are concepts requiring probability theory covered. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to include expanded coverage of digital communications. New topics discussed include spread-spectrum systems, cellular communication systems, global positioning systems (GPS), and an entire chapter on emerging digital technologies (such as SONET, ISDN, BISDN, ATM, and video compression).

Have you ever wondered what Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart would look like with a Fender Stratocaster hanging from his neck? JS Bach surrounded by banks of keyboards?.

Warhammer is a band from Santiago, Chile. They are in the metal scene from around 1998 and got good critics with a 2001 Demo titled "Time of War". Since then they were mostly playing live in several places in Chile. After some gaps in their career when the bassman leaved the band, they got new impulse for their music.
After a succesful comeback in 2008, 2009 was the year with most presentations of the band ever, and even when they are known in the scene, the lack of a proper recording of their material was the main focus now.

This is their first recording ever of the material of Warhammer, not completely studio, not 100% professional recording but at least the first real work that gives their music a proper context.

A veteran of the St. Louis blues scene, Henry Townsend is a true marvel, having recorded in each of the last eight decades, a truly astounding achievement. Blessed with an easy, natural blues voice, a string-snapping acoustic guitar style he learned from old running mate Henry Spaulding, and a down to earth piano approach, Townsend is a living, breathing national treasure…..
