Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Distance protection provides the basis for network protection in transmission systems and meshed distribution systems. Initially this book covers the fundamentals of distance protection and the special features of numerical distance relays in distribution and transmission systems.

This book is aimed at students and engineers who wish to familiarise themselves with the subject of power system protection, as well as the experienced user, entering the area of numerical distance protection. Furthermore it serves as a reference guide for solving application problems.

For the third edition all contents, especially the product descriptions and the very useful appendix, have been revised and updated.

CHOICE Review

Edited by Richard Colwell (Boston University) and prepared under the auspices of the Music Educators National Conference, this valuable reference handbook is the first comprehensive guide to research on music teaching and learning. Consisting of 55 accessible essays that draw upon the expertise of American, British, and Canadian scholars, the volume is organized into eight sections: (1) "A Conceptual Framework for Music Education Research," (2) "Research Modes and Techniques," (3) "Evaluation," (4) "Perception and Cognition," (5) "Teaching and Learning Strategies," (6) "The Teaching of Specific Musical Skills and Knowledge in Different Instructional Settings," (7) "Schools/Curriculum," and (8) "Social and Institutional Contexts." The handbook is a welcome addition to the literature on music education because it serves to provide definition and unity to a broad and complex field. Although not intended as an exhaustive resource, it will be an important reference work for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in music education as well as for experienced teachers and arts administrators.
