Loving the Gringo: A Bicultural Life

&#8220;In this whirlwind tour of her life, Harry, one of the most photographed faces in music, deploys an irreverent style well suited to her story. Her tales of life before, during, after, and beyond her time with Blondie are intermixed with interludes that capture the eclectic and electric passion she has for the creative process. In a narrative that feels simultaneously heartfelt and spontaneous, Harry recounts close encounters with violence and harassment with the same immediacy as the moments that catapulted Blondie to worldwide fame. Harry doesn&#8217;t focus on the challenges of being a woman in the music industry but rather on the collaborations that fueled her creativity. Though her sound and style influenced rock, and especially women in rock, there&#8217;s refreshingly little self-congratulation in these pages. Instead, readers will find reflection on life with a budding band and an uncensored view of what it took to succeed...A wild ride of fame, friendships, music, and drugs sure to appeal to Blondie fans and 1970s rock in general.&#8221;

“All in all, the book under review presents a rigorous measure-theoretic development of the theory of bounded and unbounded WCOs in L2-measure spaces. … The book can serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers in operator theory, in particular WCO/CO researchers, and those interested in measure theory, dynamical systems, graph theory, as well as multidisciplinary researchers working in these areas and their applications.” (Abebaw Tadesse, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2019)​

“The aim of this book is to bring out various features through speech processing, and use them in an acoustic model to recognize the emotion conveyed by the person. … the monogram looks concise and interesting and should be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in speech processing.” (Soubhik Chakraborty, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)

Much of the fun of these books comes from the construction of a far, far-future space-opera... the mapping of Age of Sail tropes onto space travel is just the start... Nevertheless, at the centre of this baroque masquerade party resides a sober consideration of what it might mean to go off adventuring, what it might cost.

“Best known as the man who coined the phrase ‘near-death experience’ . . . Moody is candid and upfront about his life working with near-death experiences, past-life regression, and mirror gazing . . . an interesting addition to any library.”

From the reviews:“This is a comprehensive book about the role of ions and anions in neurotransmission, cerebral ischemia, subarachnoid hemorrhage, trauma etc. Each chapter is devoted to the indication of mediators related to channel and mitochondrial pathophysiology. … I recommend this book to neurologists, neurosurgeons, biochemists, and neurophysiologists. Students will be greatly helped by this book, showing that cofactors can be toxic, but at micromolar ranges be beneficial to the stroked brain in small vessel disease.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, May, 2014)
