'Lie Still' is a murder mystery and a character study and a well-crafted family drama, all wrapped up into one beautiful little package. It's suspenseful and solidly written, in an elegant, no-nonsense style. It's funny and tragic and harrowing - as Emily tries to figure what's going on, if a spectre from her past has come back to haunt her new life or if this is some unknown threat hovering over her, I was compelled to follow all the way to the end.
The definitive textbook for Power Systems students, providing a grounding in essential power system theory while also focusing on practical power engineering applications. Electric Power Systems has been an essential book in power systems engineering for over thirty years.

This wide-ranging text still covers all of the fundamental power systems subjects but is now expanded to cover increasingly important topics like climate change and renewable power generation.
