The Melody Man

Joe Davis and the New York Music Scene, 1916-1978

By: Bruce Bastin,Kip Lornell

Joe Davis, the focus of The Melody Man enjoyed a 50-year career in the music industry, which covered nearly every aspect of the business. He hustled sheet music in the 1920s, copyrighted compositions by artists as diverse as Fats Waller, Carson Robison, Otis Blackwell, and Rudy Vallee, oversaw hundreds of recording session, and operated several record companies beginning in the 1940s. Davis also worked fearlessly to help insure that black recording artists and song writers gained equal treatment for their work. Much more than a biography, this book is an investigation of the role played by music publishers during much of the twentieth century. Joe Davis was not a music "great" but he was one of those individuals who enabled "greats" to emerge. A musician, manager, and publisher, his long career reveals much about the nature of the music industry and offers insight into how the industry changed from the 1920s to the 1970s. By the summer of 1924, when Davis was handling the "Race talent" for Ajax records, he had already worked in the music business for most of a decade and there was more than five decades of musical career ahead of him. The fact that his fascinating life has gone so long under-appreciated is remedied by the publication of Never Sell A Copyright. Originally published in England, in 1990, Never Sell a Copyright: Joe Davis and His Role in the New York Music Scene, 1916-1978 was never released in the United States and available in a very limited print run in England. The author, noted blues scholar and folklorist Bruce Bastin, has worked with fellow music scholar Kip Lornell to completely update, condense, and improve the book for this first-ever American edition.

Richmond

By: Donald Bastin

Spanning from the shores of San Francisco Bay to the rolling hills of the San Pablo Ridge, Richmond is a city with a history as diverse as its citizens. From its beginnings as a part of Rancho San Pablo, Richmond has evolved through the years into a vibrant, modern city with many types of industries and communities. However, many people have never seen the Richmond of yesterday, with its massive shipbuilding operations that employed thousands of steelworkers, both men and women, during World War II. At one point in the 1940s the city's shipyards had nearly 100,000 workers turning out Liberty ships and other vessels by the score for the war effort. Richmond also boasted a Ford assembly plant, rail yards, and myriad small industries to support them.

El Sobrante

By: Donald Bastin

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

El Sobrante

By: Donald Bastin

El Sobrante is a semirural community in Contra Costa County situated between the towns of Richmond, Pinole, and Orinda. In Spanish, el sobrante means "the surplus," but is more commonly translated as "the leftovers." The name is derived from the Rancho El Sobrante, which was carved from land surrounded by Mexican land grants. Unlike many of its neighbors, El Sobrante never attracted any large company or business interest that would have determined its pattern of growth. As a result, the town was free to develop in a way that reflects the wishes and hopes of its residents. Its people take pride that their community is a quiet place with small businesses, unpretentious homes, and open space where people can walk, ride horses, or simply enjoy nature.

The Domain of Constant Excess

Plural Worship at the Munnesvaram Temples in Sri Lanka

By: Rohan Bastin

The Sri Lankan ethnic conflict that has occurred largely between Sinhala Buddhists and Tamil Hindus is marked by a degree of religious tolerance that sees both communities worshiping together. This study describes one important site of such worship, the ancient Hindu temple complex of Munnesvaram. Standing adjacent to one of Sri Lanka's historical western ports, the fortunes of the Munnesvaram temples have waxed and waned through the years of turbulence, violence and social change that have been the country's lot since the advent of European colonialism in the Indian Ocean. Bastin recounts the story of these temples and analyses how the Hindu temple is reproduced as a center of worship amidst conflict and competition.

The Origin Of Discrete Particles

By: Ted Bastin,Clive W Kilmister

This book is a unique summary of the results of a long research project undertaken by the authors on discreteness in modern physics. In contrast with the usual expectation that discreteness is the result of mathematical tools for insertion into a continuous theory, this more basic treatment builds up the world from the discrimination of discrete entities. This gives an algebraic structure in which certain fixed numbers arise. As such, one agrees with the measured value of the fine-structure constant to one part in 10,000,000 (107).

DIGITAL INDIA A Progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

By: Dr.V.BASTIN JEROME

In Today's world digital transaction is important in business, especially in dealing with merchants and clients.Focusing on digitalization can help our country grow tremendously. According to a report by economic analysts, the Digital India initiative could boost our GDP by around $1 trillion by 2025. Digital India was created with a vision of making inclusive growth in the areas of products, manufacturing, electronic services, and job opportunities. The main objective of the Digital India Mission is 'Power to Empower. A digitally connected India can result in the growth of the social and economic status of people. This can be achieved by the development of non-agricultural economic activities. As we know the vision of the Digital India Scheme is very vibrant in India. The goal of the Digital India scheme is to make India a digitally empowered society with a knowledge economy. The vision is divided into 3 parts. The digital infrastructure is a utility to every citizen, governance and services on demand and digital empowerment of citizens.We are very happy to come out with this book on “ Digital India: A Progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ” that need to be addressed and inculcated by today. The Digital India programme itself promises to transform India into a digitally empowered society by focusing on digital literacy, digital resources, and collaborative digital platforms. This book is aimed to focus on adopting digital technologies such as automation and robotics has helped increase manufacturing efficiency and productivity, enabling Indian manufacturers to compete more effectively in global markets.

Combinatorial Physics

Combinatorial Physics

By: Ted Bastin,Clive William Kilmister

The authors aim to reinstate a spirit of philosophical enquiry in physics. They abandon the intuitive continuum concepts and build up constructively a combinatorial mathematics of process. This radical change alone makes it possible to calculate the coupling constants of the fundamental fields which ? via high energy scattering ? are the bridge from the combinatorial world into dynamics. The untenable distinction between what is ?observed?, or measured, and what is not, upon which current quantum theory is based, is not needed. If we are to speak of mind, this has to be present ? albeit in primitive form ? at the most basic level, and not to be dragged in at one arbitrary point to avoid the difficulties about quantum observation. There is a growing literature on information-theoretic models for physics, but hitherto the two disciplines have gone in parallel. In this book they interact vitally.

On-line Estimation and Adaptive Control of Bioreactors

By: G. Bastin

This book deals with monitoring and control of biotechnological processes. Different methods are proposed which are based on the nonlinear structure of the process and do not require any a priori knowledge of the fermentation parameters. The theoretical stability and convergence properties of the proposed algorithms are analysed and their performances are illustrated by simulation results and, in many instances, by real life experiments. The concept of software sensors is introduced; these are algorithms based on the nonlinear model of the process and designed for on-line estimation of the biological variables and/or the fermentation parameters. In order to deal with process nonstationarities and parameter uncertainties, reference is made to adaptive estimation and control techniques.The book is the result of an intensive joint research effort by the authors during the last decade. It is intended as a graduate level text for students of bioengineering as well as a reference text for scientists and engineers involved in the design and optimization of bioprocesses.
