Computational Mechanics of the Classical Guitar describes a new dynamic paradigm in instrument acoustics based on time-dependent transient analysis and simulation of complete musical instruments. It describes the current state of theoretical and experimental research into the guitar for engineers, instrument makers and musicians. This includes a summary of the basic equations for the mechanics of vibrating bodies and a presentation of the FDM (finite difference method) model with which the true vibrational behaviour of the instrument as an entire system can be understood for the first...

Now Colin is the only thing standing...

Being personal wizard to a multinational CEO isn't all fun and games. When Colin's not busy with assassins and his own inner demons, there's amnesia potions and odd jobs like hunting down a serial criminal or two.



To add to it, things between Colin and his demon-blooded girlfriend Veruca have been a little unstable since last winter's freak blizzard. It doesn't make the relationship any easier that his favorite FBI contact looks exactly like his missing, presumed dead, fiancé.



All of that would be enough to keep Colin busy. But when a...
