After graduating from the University of Edinburgh in the summer of 1996, Alexandra Tolstoy began working for an investment banking firm in New York and London, only to quit within a year. Like many twentysomethings, she longed to travel, to find adventure - and soon those longings found their outlet, when she learned that an acquaintance dreamed of riding the ancient Silk Road on horses and camels. Before long, a plan took shape: to journey nearly five thousand miles through the desert, steppes, mountains, and forests of Central Asia and China. In The Last Secrets of the Silk Road, Alexandra Tolstoy recounts the incredible sojourn she made with three companions in 1999 through some of the least-explored countries and areas of the world: Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgzstan, the Taklamakan Desert, and China. In lands associated with Genghis Khan, Marco Polo, Alexander the Great, Peter Fleming, and "The Great Game," Alexandra and Sophia ("Mouse") Cunningham, Victoria ("Wic") Westmacott, and Lucy Kelaart encountered extremes of climate and landscape, braved dangers, and found camaraderie and friendship, on an eight-month-long journey of a lifetime.

This monograph is intended for use by professional scientists and engineers who are either attempting to familiarize themselves with the relatively new signal processing technique known as "Matched Field Processing" (MFP) or who would like further detailed information about some aspect of MFP. MFP has reached a point where there has been a great deal of material published but it is widespread and scattered with most in the form of journal articles. To date, there has not been a single book published which deals with this subject in any length, and very few review-like articles. It can be a very inefficient and frustrating introduction particularly since there is currently no uniform notation and danger warnings are not well posted. This book seeks to address this deficiency by: providing a comprehensive guide to the history and development of MFP including derivations of the most popular processors in use; discussing situations under which MFP has difficulties (either computationally or in practice); including extensive examples showing how various processors behave under typical conditions; increasing the reader's awareness of the wide range of applications currently being explored; and exposing the reader to important associated publications available in the literature with accompanying remarks suggesting their key conclusions or contributions.
