Experience the Pyrenees’ ultimate hiking adventures with this comprehensive Cicerone guidebook to seven outstanding circular multi-day routes, each designed for a one- or two-week mountain escape. Stretching over 400km from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees form a spectacular natural border between France and Spain, a dramatic landscape of glaciated granite massifs, limestone peaks, wildflower meadows, and crystal-clear lakes. Ideal for those seeking a balance of adventure and comfort, each featured trek is divided into manageable stages (ranging from 4 to 12), with welcoming accommodation in mountain refuges or traditional villages along the way. Routes range in length from four to twelve days, allowing you to pack big mountain experiences into a single week or enjoy an extended journey through the heart of the Pyrenees. Seven circular treks: the rolling Basque Country (9 stages), the spectacular limestone peaks of Pic du Midi d’Ossau and the Western Pyrenees (8 stages), the high-altitude Tour de Vignemale and La Alta Ruta de Los Perdidos (11 stages), the lake-dotted Réserve Naturelle de Néouvielle (4 stages), the classic Carros de Foc circuit (7 stages), the wild landscapes of the Montagnes d’Ax and Les Pérics (8 stages), and the iconic Catalonian peaks of Puigmal and Canigou (12 stages).Hiking in the Pyrenees is best from July to September, when the high routes are clear of snow, and the meadows are alive with wildflowers, though lower-altitude routes can be tackled from late spring through October.Most stages follow mountain paths in the Pyrenees, with some easy scrambling and boulderfields on the higher traverses, and route descriptions are supported by clear 1:100,000 mapping.All routes are circular, minimising transport logistics and maximising your time amid the dramatic landscapes of the Pyrenees.Accommodation is available at every stage, with options including mountain refuges nestled in the high Pyrenees, charming village inns along the routes, and opportunities for wild camping for those seeking solitude.Each stage includes practical information on access, facilities, recommended maps, and route alternatives for exploring the diverse regions of the Pyrenees, with notes on optional peak-bagging detours for ambitious walkers.The guide features comprehensive advice on planning, preparation, and navigation to help you explore the Pyrenees with confidence. Plan your Pyrenean trekking adventure with this definitive guide to the region’s finest short treks, and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty, rich wildlife, and timeless mountain culture of one of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes.

Brian Johnson’s memoir from growing up in a small town to starting his own band to ultimately replacing Bon Scott, the lead singer of one of the world biggest rock acts, AC/DC. They would record their first album together, the iconic Back in Black, which would become the biggest selling rock album of all time. Brian Johnson was born to a steelworker and WWII veteran father and an Italian mother, growing up in New Castle Upon Tyne, England, a working-class town. He was musically inclined and sang with the church choir. By the early ’70s he performed with the glam rock band Geordie, and they had a couple hits, but it was tough going. So tough that by 1976, they disbanded and Brian turned to a blue-collar life. Then 1980 changed everything. Bon Scott, the lead singer and lyricist of the Australian rock band AC/DC died at 33. The band auditioned singers, among them Johnson, whom Scott himself had seen perform and raved about. Within days, Johnson was in a studio with the band, working with founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd, along with producer Mutt Lange. When the album, Back in Black, was released in July—a mere three months after Johnson had joined the band—it exploded, going on to sell 50 million copies worldwide, and triggering a years-long worldwide tour. It has been declared “the biggest selling hard rock album ever made” and “the best-selling heavy-metal album in history.” The band toured the world for a full year to support the album, changing the face of rock music—and Brian Johnson’s life—forever.

A modern, comprehensive introduction to DRAM for students and practicing chip designers Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technology has been one of the greatestdriving forces in the advancement of solid-state technology. With its ability to produce high product volumes and low pricing, it forces solid-state memory manufacturers to work aggressively to cut costs while maintaining, if not increasing, their market share. As a result, the state of the art continues to advance owing to the tremendous pressure to get more memory chips from each silicon wafer, primarily through process scaling and clever design. From a team of engineers working in memory circuit design, DRAM Circuit Design gives students and practicing chip designers an easy-to-follow, yet thorough, introductory treatment of the subject. Focusing on the chip designer rather than the end user, this volume offers expanded, up-to-date coverage of DRAM circuit design by presenting both standard and high-speed implementations. Additionally, it explores a range of topics: the DRAM array, peripheral circuitry, global circuitry and considerations, voltage converters, synchronization in DRAMs, data path design, and power delivery. Additionally, this up-to-date and comprehensive book features topics in high-speed design and architecture and the ever-increasing speed requirements of memory circuits. The only book that covers the breadth and scope of the subject under one cover, DRAM Circuit Design is an invaluable introduction for students in courses on memory circuit design or advanced digital courses in VLSI or CMOS circuit design. It also serves as an essential, one-stop resource for academics, researchers, and practicing engineers.

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois' 'reform' writings—with the intention of reforming immoral and unethical behavior—appeared in periodicals and were directed toward or written on behalf of the African American community. Du Bois, a Harvard-trained sociologist, offered a stark alternative to the anti-intellectual dogma contained in reform messages by black church leadership. Believing that African Americans needed a firm historical and sociological grasp of a distinct phenomenon that church leaders could not offer, Du Bois published in numerous Black, progressive, liberal, college, and religious periodicals, including The Atlantic Monthly, The Independent Weekly, Outlook, Voice of the Negro, The New York Post, and The Crisis. Now for the first time, Du Bois' reform writings—spanning over fifty years—have been gathered into one volume. Each section is edited and introduced by Brian Johnson and they demonstrate Du Bois' contribution to advancing the social and moral dimensions of the African American community.

The Cold War began almost immediately after the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nazis in Europe. As images of the Nazis’ atrocities became part of American culture’s common store, the evil of their old enemy, beyond the Nazis as a wartime opponent, became increasingly important. As America tried to describe the danger represented by the spread of Communism, it fell back on descriptions of Nazism to make the threat plain through comparison. At the heart of the tensions of that era lay the inconsistency of using one kind of evil to describe another. The book addresses this tension in regards to McCarthyism, campaigns to educate the public about Communism, attempts to raise support for wars in Asia, and the rhetoric of civil rights. Each of these political arenas is examined through their use of Nazi analogies in popular, political, and literary culture. The Nazi Card is an invaluable look at the way comparisons to Nazis are used in American culture, the history of those comparisons, and the repercussions of establishing a political definition of evil.

The Function of Evil Across Disciplinary Contexts explores answers to two important questions about the age-old theme of evil: is there any use in using the concept of evil in cultural, psychological, or other secular evaluations of the world and its productions? Most importantly, if there is, what might these functions be? By looking across several disciplines and analyzing evil as it is referenced across a broad spectrum of phenomena, this work demonstrates the varying ways that we interact with the ethical dilemma as academics, as citizens, and as people. The work draws from authors in different fields—including history, literary and film studies, philosophy, and psychology—and from around the world to provide an analysis of evil in such topics as deeply canonical as Beowulf and Shakespeare to subjects as culturally resonant as Stephen King, Captain America, or the War on Terror. By bringing together this otherwise disparate collection of scholarship, this collection reveals that discussions of evil across disciplines have always been questions of how cultures represent that which they find socially abhorrent. This work thus opens the conversation about evil outside of field-specific limitations, simultaneously demonstrating the assumptions that undergird the manner by which such a conversation proceeds.
