Nothing Good Was Supposed to Come Out of Me
A Memoir of Becoming Against All Odds
From childhood hardship in northern Nigeria to international academic and professional achievement, this book is a deeply personal and powerful memoir of resilience, faith, and transformation.Through vivid storytelling and reflective insight, David Etor traces a journey marked by hardship, uncertainty, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of purpose, revealing the defining moments that forged a life determined to rise beyond visible limitation and expectation.Exploring themes of identity, family, education, faith, discipline, and becoming, this memoir speaks to anyone who has faced adversity and dared to imagine a different future. It is both a record of lived experience and a testament to the enduring power of hope, resilience, and purposeful perseverance.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR MODERN ROTATING ELECTROMECHANICAL MACHINES
This textbook provides a comprehensive and contemporary treatment of the design of rotating electrical machines, which remain central to global power generation and industrial energy consumption.Recognising the critical role these machines play in modern energy systems and their significant environmental impact, the book presents a unified approach to the design of alternating-current and direct-current rotating electromechanical machines, with particular emphasis on thermal and heat removal analysis, magnetic circuit design, electric circuit design, mechanical considerations, winding configurations, and permanent magnet machine design.Through detailed explanations, practical design methodologies, real-world worked examples, and structured exercises, the text equips undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and practising electrical engineers with the analytical tools and technical insight required to design efficient, reliable, and environmentally conscious electromechanical machines for modern engineering applications.
