New Releases by Dave Stewart

SEGUI LA LUCE! Sta succedendo qualcosa di strano in un villaggio sul mare da qualche parte nel continente americano. Strane sfere luminose appaiono dal nulla e con loro portano strani fenomeni. Bambini diventano ciechi e possiedono poteri psichici, case vengono distrutte e persone scompaiono. Nemmeno scienziati e agenti governativi riescono a trovare una spiegazione al febbrile acuirsi di passioni e risentimenti. Ma l’apparizione di Ela, una bellissima donna misteriosa, potrebbe portare alla fine di tutto questo. E il villaggio potrebbe pagarne le conseguenze peggiori. Le leggende del fumetto Gilbert Hernandez (Love and Rockets) e Darwyn Cooke (The New Frontier) creano un’imperscrutabile storia di realismo magico che rimarrà a lungo nei vostri cuori. [VOLUME UNICO. CONTIENE: THE TWILIGHT CHILDREN (2015) 1-4]

Amour, Trahison, honneur et guerre sans merci dans les coulisses du néo-Tokyo de 2063. Tokyo, 2063. La ville a évolué en une gigantesque mégalopole techno-punk. Renjiro est le conseiller et stratège du plus grand criminel japonais : le seigneur de guerre yakuza Hideaki. Sous sa direction, le clan du Dragon Noir a pris le contrôle des quartiers malfamés de Honshu en éliminant avec force et cruauté tous leurs opposants. Mais Hideaki a d’autres ambitions que de régner sur la pègre, il projette de renverser le gouvernement lui-même. Sa soif de pouvoir est telle qu’il imagine pouvoir défaire la junte ultra-nationaliste et surarmée qui protège le pouvoir en place. Rien ne semble pouvoir l’arrêter. Pris entre deux feux, Renjiro va devenir le pion d’une guerre sans merci lorsque Hideaki lui demande de s’infiltrer chez l’ennemi. Entre son honneur de guerrier et la puissance du groupe d’élite militaire, il comprend que sa rédemption va dépendre de sa capacité à jouer double-jeu... Pourra-t-il mettre ses principes de côtés jusqu’au bout et faire émerger le statu quo ? Andy Diggle et Leinil Francis Yu, deux méga-stars de la planète « super-héros », nous plongent dans un univers futuriste riche et inattendu, évoquant le néo-Tokyo de Akira. Un cocktail explosif d’action, de thriller et de SF porté par des héros puissants et charismatiques.

This volume sets out the results of a detailed programme of non-intrusive geophysical survey conducted across hillforts of Dorset (UK), generating detailed subsurface maps of archaeological features, in the hope of better resolving the phasing, form and internal structure of these iconic sites.

A no-holds-barred look into the remarkable life and career of the prolific musician, songwriter, and producer behind Eurythmics and dozens of pop hits. Dave Stewart’s life has been a wild ride—one filled with music, constant reinvention, and the never-ending drive to create. Growing up in industrial northern England, he left home for the gritty London streets of the seventies, where he began collaborating and performing with various musicians, including a young waitress named Annie Lennox. The chemistry between Stewart and Lennox was undeniable, and an intense romance developed. While their passion proved too much offstage, they thrived musically and developed their own sound. They called themselves Eurythmics and launched into global stardom with the massively popular album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). For the first time, Stewart shares the incredible, high-octane stories of his life in music—the drug-fueled adventures, the A-list collaborations and relationships, and the creative process that brought us blockbusters from Eurythmics like “ Here Comes the Rain Again” and “Would I Lie to You” as well as Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” No Doubt’s “Underneath It All,” Golden Globe winner “Old Habits Die Hard” with Mick Jagger, and many more. From great friendships and creative partnerships including the group SuperHeavy along with Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and A. R. Rahman, to inspired performances and intimate moments in the studio—Stewart highlights the musicians he admires and calls friends, from Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Elton John, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr to Bono, Bon Jovi, and Katy Perry. With a behind-the-scenes look at Stewart’s innovative endeavors that keep him on the cutting-edge of the music business, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This is a one-of-a-kind portrait of the creative heart of one of its most gifted and enterprising contributors. With a Foreword by Mick Jagger!

Multicore software development is growing in importance and applicability in many areas of embedded systems from automotive to networking, to wireless base stations. This chapter is a summary of key sections of the recently released Multicore Programming Practices (MPP) from the Multicore Association (MCA). The MPP standardized “best practices” guide is written specifically for engineers and engineering managers of companies considering or implementing a development project involving multicore processors and favoring use of existing multicore technology. There is an important need to better understand how today’s C/C++ code may be written to be “multicore ready”, and this was accomplished under the influence of the MPP working group. The guide will enable you to (a) produce higher-performing software; (b) reduce the bug rate due to multicore software issues; (c) develop portable multicore code which can be targeted at multiple platforms; (d) reduce the multicore programming learning curve and speed up development time; and (e) tie into the current structure and roadmap of the Multicore Association’s API infrastructure.
