Billy ha dodici anni, sua madre è morta, suo padre e suo fratello sono impegnati in un durissimo sciopero. Il papà di Billy vorrebbe che facesse pugilato, che imparasse a badare a se stesso, perché le cose vanno così per loro: devono tener duro e restare uniti. Ma Billy non si arrende. Vuole diventare un ballerino perché per lui danzare è come avere un fuoco dentro, perché è il suo destino.

"Monopole Antennas" provides an industry standard for the modeling, testing, and application of airborne and ground-based monopole antennas. This book, with more than double the content of the author's previous, sold-out book, "Monopole Elements on Circular Ground Planes", includes structures in proximity to flat Earth in addition to those in free space of the earlier book.

Like the ten-volume Encyclopedia of World Cultures, the four-volume Countries and Their Cultures is based on the collection of ethnographic information known as the Human Relations Area Files based at Yale University. Unlike World Cultures, which is organized by culture, the new work is organized by country. This work's strength is that readers who know very little about a country can quickly obtain a good orientation to the major issues, history, and social structure of a nation.
