Meet Henry Modicum: single, poor driver, existentially confused twenty-something, unwitting psychiatrist to sexually adventurous friends. In one summer he works at a fast-food restaurant, a warehouse and a parks & recreation department where he finds most of the world’s mysteries under active investigation. Modicum’s raucous and hilarious experiences are ends in themselves. At the climax, Modicum witnesses a near death experience, leading him to question his own fate.

Examining work by novelists, filmmakers, TV producers and songwriters, this book uncovers the manner in which the radio – and the act of listening – has been written about for the past 100 years. Ever since the first public wireless broadcasts, people have been writing about the radio: often negatively, sometimes full of praise, but always with an eye and an ear to explain and offer an opinion about what they think they have heard. Novelists including Graham Greene, Agatha Christie, Evelyn Waugh, and James Joyce wrote about characters listening to this new medium with mixtures of delight, frustration, and despair. Clint Eastwood frightened moviegoers half to death in Play Misty for Me, but Lou Reed's 'Rock & Roll' said listening to a New York station had saved Jenny's life. Frasier showed the urbane side of broadcasting, whilst Good Morning, Vietnam exploded from the cinema screen with a raw energy all of its own. Queen thought that all the audience heard was 'ga ga', even as The Buggles said video had killed the radio star and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers lamented 'The Last DJ'. This book explores the cultural fascination with radio; the act of listening as a cultural expression – focusing on fiction, films and songs about radio. Martin Cooper, a broadcaster and academic, uses these movies, TV shows, songs, novels and more to tell a story of listening to the radio – as created by these contemporary writers, filmmakers, and musicians.

One of Time Magazine’s Top 100 Inventors in History shares an insider’s story of the cellphone, how it changed the world—and a view of where it’s headed.
While at Motorola in the 1970s, wireless communications pioneer Martin Cooper invented the first handheld mobile phone. But the cellphone as we know it today almost didn’t happen. Now, in Cutting the Cord, Cooper takes listeners inside the stunning breakthroughs, devastating failures, and political battles in the quest to revolutionize—and control—how people communicate. It’s a dramatic tale involving brilliant engineers, government regulators, lobbyists, police, quartz crystals, and a horse.
Industry skirmishes sparked a political war in Washington to prevent a monopolistic company from dominating telecommunications. The drama culminated in the first-ever public call made on a handheld, portable telephone—by Cooper himself.
The story of the cell phone has much to teach about innovation, strategy, and management. But the story of wireless communications is far from finished. This book also relates Cooper’s vision of the future. From the way we work and the way children learn to the ways we approach medicine and healthcare, advances in the cellphone will continue to reshape our world for the better.

The computer interpretation of line drawings is a classic problem in arti?cial intelligence (AI) which has inspired the development of some fundamental AI tools, including constraint propagation, probabilistic relaxation, the characte- zation of tractable constraint classes and, most recently, the propagationof soft constraintsin?nite-domainoptimizationproblems. Line drawinginterpretation has many distinct applications on the borderline of computer vision and c- puter graphics, including sketch interpretation, the input of 3D object models 1 and the creation of 2 D illustrations in electronic documents. 2 I hope I have made this fascinating topic accessible not only to computer scientistsbutalsotomathematicians,psychologistsandcognitivescientistsand, indeed, to anyone who is intrigued by optical illusions and impossible or - biguous ?gures. This book could not have been written without the support of the CNRS, theFrenchCentreNational deRecherche Scienti?que,who?nancedmyone-year break from teaching at the University of Toulouse III. The UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council also ?nanced several extended visits to the Oxford University Computing Laboratory. Section 9.1 is just a brief summary of the results on tractable constraints that have come out of this very productive joint research programme with David Cohen, Peter Jeavons and Andrei Krokhin.The various soft arc consistency techniques described in Chapter 8 were developed in collaboration with Thomas Schiex and Simon de Givry at INRA, Toulouse. I am also grateful to Ralph Martin and Peter Varley for their comments on the line-labelling constraints presented in Chapter 3.

"e;Martin Cooper's new book tells the fascinating story of how the San Fernando Valley became the hub of the motion picture industry. It is a story of creative excellence, economic development, and individual achievement. This is a book of important historical achievement. Martin Cooper's book reads like fiction, but it's all fact."e;- Bob BlumenfieldLos Angeles City Councilmember, District 3 (San Fernando Valley), Former Member, California Film Commission"e;Martin Cooper has a researcher's instinct for finding great stories and the scribe's talent for sharing them with gusto and delight. If you're old enough, The 'Reel' Hollywood: The San Fernando Valley will take you back to the many images of the Valley in film and TV; and if you're too young to be old enough, it will give you a chance to look at this wonderful part of Los Angeles in a fresh and exciting way."e;- Bob BeitcherPresident and CEO, Motion Picture Country Home"e;The Valley finally gets its due with Cooper's engaging book! Largely because of a real estate sign, Hollywood has falsely overshadowed the San Fernando Valley's embrace of film production and talent from its earliest days. Alongside those orange groves were Egyptian columns, Western bars and cattle rustlers."e;- John PtakFilm producer and former talent agent"e;No one knows the San Fernando Valley and the movie industry better than Martin Cooper. Put those two strengths together and even the knowledgeable cinephile or local history buff will find many hidden historical gems. His encyclopedic knowledge and research uncovers little-known facts found nowhere else. You won't put it down!"e;- Bob RawitchFormer Executive Editor, Los Angeles Times Valley Edition and 75-year resident of the San Fernando Valley "e;Martin Cooper's latest book tells how the San Fernando Valley wasn't Hollywood's backyard – it was its center stage, the fascinating arena where countless movies and television shows were filmed simultaneously. Familiar names like Casablanca, Walt Disney, Warner Brothers and Roy Rogers populate the pages, and their stories unspool naturally in Martin's witty and readable linear fashion. It is astounding that the Valley's central role in filmdom has never really been told, but in this book the Valley finally gets its close-up."e;- Charles CrumpleyJournalist and former Editor and Publisher, San Fernando Valley Business Journal
