This is John T. Ratzlaff's amazing book Tesla Said (1984) which is the most comprehensive single volume of Nikola Tesla's writings presently available. A period of over a quarter of a century has elapsed in gathering this material from every known source, in addition to searching archival material from the decades around the turn of the century. Mr. Tesla speaks for himself and the reader is enabled to make first hand judgments rather than relying on the opinions of others. The subject matter is arranged in chronological order and includes a wide range of interesting and important information not previously published in book form. 300 pages, many pictures. A must read for everyone. Amazon.com A definitive collection of 100 articles and papers either by or about Nikola Tesla. It is the most comprehensive single collection of periodical articles on the subject of Nikola Tesla available. Years were spent in gathering the material from every known source, including a search of archival material from around the turn of the century. This volume is indispensible to those seriously interested in Tesla Research. Read more...

Create network communications software with a thorough understanding of the essential system-level design and implementation choices and how they affect the performance and maintainability of your embedded system. An examination of the OSI 7-layer model serves as a starting point for a logical partitioning of software functionality in a communications system. With this foundation, you explore a development model that addresses the complete range of issues in the design of embedded communications software, including real-time operating systems, hardware and software partitioning, layering, and protocol stacks. Delve into the design techniques (state tables, upper- and lower-level interfaces, configuration techniques, buffer and timer management) that enable clean, understandable implementations of even complex protocols. Explore specialized design issues, including task and table management, as well as implementation issues that include: - how device and network management capabilities should interact with the stack - how to handle system startup and configuration - what special requirements multi-board designs impose Combine the recommended design and development processes-complete with a list of appropriate equipment and tools-with your newfound perspective to tackle your next project.

C# is the premier language for .NET development, and is currently the fastestgrowing programming language. It is already being used by 29% of professionalprogrammers, with that percentage expected to continue increasing rapidly. It isstill a relatively new language, however, and developers are still looking forresources to enable them to use it better. Effective C# covers C# from apractical perspective, and provides insight into using the language moreefficiently. The reader will get information based on years of practical C#experience in real world settings. The format of the book is the same that hasproven immensely popular in other books in Scott Meyers' series. The authorhas a devoted following from his regular C# columns in Visual StudioMagazine. Every serious C# developer will keep this book close at hand, toreturn to again and again for advice. C#'s resemblances to C++, Java, and C make it easier to learn, but there's a downside: C# programmers often continue to use older techniques when far better alternatives are available. In Effective C#, respected .NET expert Bill Wagner identifies fifty ways you can start leveraging the full power of C# in order to write faster, more efficient, and more reliable software. Effective C# follows the format that made Effective C++ (Addison-Wesley, 1998) and Effective Java (Addison-Wesley, 2001) indispensable to hundreds of thousands of developers: clear, practical explanations, expert tips, and plenty of realistic code examples Read more...

Milton Erickson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Closely related to his therapy was his use of "teaching tales." Calling upon shock, surprise, confusion-with generous use of questions, puns, and playful humor-he seeded suggestions indirectly and positively with these tales, here gathered together by Dr. Rosen. These stories are case studies, people with all sorts of problems, and very interesting solutions, and great stories. Think of Milton Erickson as someone who was a master of effecting life altering personal change by being able to communicate on a deeper level. Applied to yourself you can most likely imagine the effect you can have on yourself and others and how you can win friends and influence people by learning this skill. Ground-breaking and revolutionary describe the work of Milton Erickson. With no direct method available to comprehend Erickson's complex therapy style Teaching Tales allows insight into his work. The understanding one develops from reading the highly engaging text comes about as each tale represents a piece of the puzzle of what it is to be a human learning our way through this world. Always focused on the fundamental experience of people, Erickson through the exposition of Sidney Rosen, elucidates his basic and profound vision of what makes all of us play, work, and especially learn to be better.

Algorithms in Java, Third Edition, Part 5: Graph Algorithms, contains six chapters that cover graph properties and types, graph search, directed graphs, minimal spanning trees, shortest paths, and networks. The descriptions here are intended to give students an understanding of the basic properties of as broad a range of fundamental graph algorithms as possible. In the third edition, many new algorithms are presented, and the explanations of each algorithm are much more detailed than in previous editions. Unlike any other book on algorithms, not only will students get practical information on using algorithms in their work, they can also be assured that these algorithms rest on the most solid scientific foundations. And a new emphasis on abstract data types throughout the books makes the programs more broadly useful and relevant in modern object-oriented programming environments. This book is useful as a text early in the computer science curriculum, after students have acquired basic programming skills and familiarity with computer systems, but before they have taken specialized courses in advanced areas of computer science or computer applications.

Assuming readers have a basic familiarity with C or C++, Frantisek Franek describes the techniques, methods and tools available to develop effective memory usage. The overwhelming majority of "bugs" and crashes in computer programming stem from problems of memory access, allocation, or deallocation. Such memory related errors are notoriously difficult to resolve. Moreover, the role that memory plays in C and C++ programming is a subject often overlooked in courses and in books. Most professional programmers learn about it entirely through actual experience of the problems it causes.

In the second edition of this bestseller, the author continues to demystify the techniques associated with the field of artificial intelligence. It covers a wide variety of techniques currently defined as "AI" and shows how they can be useful in practical, everyday applications. AI Application Programming covers both the theory and the practical applications to teach developers how to apply AI techniques in their own designs. Each chapter covers both the theory of the algorithm or the technique under discussion followed by a practical application of the technique with a detailed discussion of the source code. About the Author M. Tim Jones has been developing software since 1986. He has designed prototype AI systems using genetic algorithms for satellite attitude determination and mobile agents for distributed asset tracking. He has also published articles on embedded systems, network protocols, and AI for Dr. Dobb's Journal, Embedded Systems Programming, and Embedded Linux Journal. He currently works as a Senior Principal Software Engineer. Read more...
