John Lane Boeken

When John Lane was a young poet, a magazine editor asked him to leave the comfortable eddy of verse and contemplate in paragraphs why he was a kayaker. The resulting essay, Why I Love Falling Water, began what would become a thirty-five-year stream of published poetry and prose about rivers and river people. Gathered here after decades, scattered individually throughout a dozen published books and many magazines, newspapers, and journals, are essays and poems about paddling and floating rivers all over the Southeast and beyond. Settings range from the Nantahala in North Carolina to the Tiburon in Mexico. This collection encompasses all John Lane's river writing outside his two book-length narratives CHATTOOGA: DESCENDING INTO THE DELIVERANCE RIVER and MY PADDLE TO THE SEA: ELEVEN DAYS IN THE RIVER OF THE CAROLINAS. Put in anywhere among this wealth of literary reflection and insight and you won't be disappointed.

This is a book about simplicity, not destitution, not parsimoniousness, not self-denial, but the restoration of wealth in the midst of an affluence in which we are starving the spirit. schovat popis

The poems explore the complex relationship between humanity and the environment in the Anthropocene era, highlighting themes of arrogance and dominion over nature. Through the voice of a travelling geologist, the collection reflects on the consequences of human actions, portraying a world where people see themselves as the ultimate authority over the planet. The work captures a sense of impending change and the blues of a new epoch, blending geological insight with a critical perspective on modern existence.

Digital filters and real-time processing of digital signals have traditionally been beyond the reach of most because of hardware cost and complexity of design. In recent years, low-cost digital signal processor (DSP) development boards have become available. This book breaks down the design complexity barrier with simplified tutorials, step-by-step instructions, and a collection of audio projects.
