This newly updated sixth edition of Welding: Principles and Applications features tight shots of actual welds to speed beginners to an understanding of a variety of different welding processes used today. Moving quickly from basic concepts to the study of today’s most complex welding technologies, each section begins by introducing readers to the materials, equipment, setup procedures, and critical safety information they need to know to successfully execute a specific process. Remaining chapters in the section zero in on individual welding tasks and must-know techniques. Comprehensive coverage spans from specific welding processes to discussion of related topics, including welding metallurgy, metal fabrication, weld testing and inspection, joint design, and job costing.

Neil Young’s biorhythms have led him to the brutal crucible of Crazy Horse every so often since his second solo album, giving him the opportunity to, um, weld chaos and familiarity into a precarious ritual that perhaps the Who, more than anyone, best understand. This concert video, compiled from snatches of performance shot during a long tour somewhere around 1990, is the visual accompaniment to a double-CD package (also called Weld) of live material released in 1991. If you were at one of the shows, you’ll instantly recognize the streak of surrealism surrounding this production, including enormous Marshall amplifiers on the stage (props, though the show is loud enough to make one believe they’re real) and an odd preface featuring a salt-of-the-earth farmer type dragging an oversized microphone (with stand) while Jimi Hendrix’s version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” blares through the arena.

Young and Crazy Horse instantly get down to business, however, with one of their searing takes on “Hey Hey My My (Into the Black),” followed by a muscular “Crime in the City” and a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.” The latter, a haunting, (mostly) solo performance by Young, sounds like the echo of a long-ago clarion call from the optimistic 1960s, and it goes a long way toward refining this show’s unspoken theme: building a temporary bridge to a ghostly past. Young and the band do just that, repeatedly and in different ways as the concert progresses from a strangely fragile but exuberant performance of Young’s early hit, “Cinnamon Girl,” to the mirage-like “Cortez the Killer” and its layered elegy for the Woodstock generation, to the shatteringly beautiful ode to a forgotten young man’s ultimate sacrifice in “Powderfinger.” By the time Young brings us back to the then-reality of the Bush years in “Rockin’ in the Free World,” one can’t help but feel robbed by the cruel vicissitudes of history. –Tom Keogh
