About Music: Critical Listening Skills explains the fascinating aspects of the fundamentals of sound, how musical instruments work, the mechanics of hearing, and how we neurologically process the musical sounds we make. Add to that the way music and sound is recorded, manipulated, and stored, and a whole new way to observe our craft has been revealed in this text. Often these fundamental aspects of music are overlooked or ignored in a curriculum of study of music and music teaching. It is a fascinating trip through the science of acoustics.

Every known language has words that are taboo, that speakers aren't supposed to say. Yet these very words are said; simply put, people swear.

In an engaging and often playful manner, this textbook investigates swear words from many directions:

This laboratory manual is designed to be paired with the General Chemistry component of a GOB course which annually enrolls about 1000 mostly pre-nursing and agricultural science students at Texas Tech University. Each experiment has six distinct components: Introduction, About the Experiment, Pre-laboratory Questions, Procedure, Data/Analysis, and Post-Laboratory Questions. General and specific safety considerations are collectively enumerated just prior to the procedure and re-emphasized within the procedure where they apply.

Linear Algebra is a powerful tool that allows scientists to model physical phenomena and efficiently solve the systems of equations that arise from them. It is essential to almost every field of mathematics, such as geometry, topology, number theory, and abstract algebra. As such, it is not only computationally useful, with applications in data science, quantum mechanics, statistics, computer science, and all branches of engineering, but it also a great opportunity for the student to explore the beauty and elegance of mathematics.
