The Wailing Wind

ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR"Graphic, stunning and in many instances hilarious. . . .&#160;No punches are pulled, and no literary expense is spared."&mdash;BookReporter&ldquo;Widespread Panic is quintessential Ellroy, but with enough alliteration, Hollyweird flavor, booze, distressed damsels, communist conspiracies, and extortion to make this the most Ellroy novel he's ever written. . . . Wildly entertaining and memorable. . . . Otash's voice is unlike anything else in contemporary fiction. . . . A&#160;spiritual companion to L.A. Confidential.&rdquo;&mdash;NPR&ldquo;There is here, as in Ellroy&rsquo;s other novels, so fully researched and plausible an evocation of the world about which he writes, so deft an intermingling of the real and fictional characters that the novelist asks the reader to believe that these events could have happened, and that some of them (Jack Kennedy&rsquo;s exhaustive and exhausting philandering, for example) probably did. This commingling of fact and fiction is, of course, the basis upon which the myths of Hollywood, and hence, at this point, those of our broader American culture, rest.&rdquo;&mdash;Claire&#160;Messud, Harper's Magazine &#160;&ldquo;Widespread Panic unfolds in shimmering Ellroyvision. In recounting his sinful past, Freewheeling Freddy mainlines the repetitive rhumba of his scandal sheet until it&rsquo;s become the mother&rsquo;s milk of his speech and psyche, and he bops to alliteration&rsquo;s alluring algorithm.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal&#160;&ldquo;[Ellroy&#160;is] the dean of Los Angeles crime novelists. . . .&#160;You come [to&#160;Ellroy] to roll around in the blood and the mud, to ping along to the plot twists and betrayals.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times &ldquo;If you love Ellroy, you&rsquo;ll love this wild ride.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;The Washington Post (10 Books to read in June)  &ldquo;Devious and delicious. . . . Ellroy&rsquo;s total command of the jazzy, alliterative argot of the era never fails to astonish. This is a must for L.A. noir fans.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;Wildly&#160;flamboyant. . . . A spectacular explosion of language. For those with a taste for foul-mouthed fireworks and freeform jazz solos, both dazzling and exhausting, Ellroy is your man.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;A noirish romp through the sewage of 1950s Hollywood sleaze. . . .&#160;Entertainingly&#160;hop-headed. . . .&#160;The author [is] operating at&#160;maximum&#160;efficiency, mainlining a primo blend of over-the-top alliteration and down-in-the-gutter scandal. . . . A delirious thrill ride through the tabloid underbelly of Tinseltown.&#160;Relentlessly&#160;rabid, for those with a taste for the seamier.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

"This book offers an insight on all the aspects of heavy haul freight train technology and operations in a simple manner yet giving sufficient facts on engineering and design details involved. This will definitely be a popular hand book on this topic."— Shyamal Kanti Biswas, Central Railway ( Indian Railways), Mumbai, India
"A comprehensive text featuring virtually everything the reader might want to know about heavy haul railroads."— Thomas A. Philip, SEPTA, Pennsylvania, USA
"This book provides a comprehensive source of information on heavy haul locomotives and trains which will be a vital resource for designers and researchers working in this field."— Simon Iwnicki, Institute of Railway Research at the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom
"I particularly appreciated how the authors were able to put together a complex technical subject, with a narrative approach that help the reader to follow a journey departing from the historical evolution of freight railways and arriving to the latest simulation techniques applied to modern locomotives. 
This makes the book at the same time useful and friendly, helping students approach such a complex topic in a gradual and effective manner."— Nicola Bosso, Politecnico di Torino, Italy
