Método completo de técnicas para improvisação na guitarra, desenvolvido pelo renomado Musicians Institute da Califórnia, e traduzido para o português. Seus professores Daniel Gilbert e Beth Marlis desenvolveram diagramas, exercícios, técnicas, licks e uma “visão profissional” de como explorar a sonoridade do instrumento. O aluno encontrará, passo a passo, tonalidades maiores e menores, modo dórico e mixolídio, escalas completas e pentatônicas, arpejos, sweep picking (arpejo melódico), frases, acordes, cromatismo, centro tonal, modulação, blues e variações, e improviso sobre progressões e canções. Um CD com 36 faixas ilustra o conteúdo do método, e ajuda na criação de linhas melódicas como as da maioria das músicas pop ouvidas hoje em dia.

"A computer software package (AIRPROPS Version 5.0) for calculating the thermophysical properties of air is presented. Computer programs in this package are given in standard FORTRAN 77. The programs given here supersede all previous versions of AIRPROPS and provide for calculation of both equilibrium and transport properties of air for system design and analysis. Properties of mixtures of nitrogen, argon and oxygen for various compositions are also provided by programs included in this package. This report documents Version 5.0 of the software package. It provides information necessary to incorporate individual subprograms from the package into application programs. although the software package was originally developed on DOS-based microcomputers and the interactive utility program AIRPROPS is tailored to such an environment, the property calculation subprograms are written to facilitate portability between microcomputers and mainframes."--Page ii.

Daniel Gilbert er forfatter og professor i psykologi ved Harvard. I denne boken forsøker han å kartlegge lykkespørsmålet. Han ser blant annet på forholdet mellom rikdom, berømmelse og lykke. Hvorfor er for eksempel rockestjerner ofte dypt ulykkelige selv om de har oppnådd berømmelse og rikdom, mens mennesker som har opplevd mye traumatisk kan være lykkelige? Gilbert gir en rekke eksempler som viser hvordan mennesker stort sett alltid tar feil når de forsøker å forutse hva som vil gjøre dem lykkelige.
