Herbert George Wells (September 21, 1866 - August 13, 1946), better known as H. G. Wells, was an English writer best known for such science fiction novels as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The First Men in the Moon and The Island of Doctor Moreau. He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many different genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. He was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science fiction novels are widely read today. Both Wells and Jules Verne are sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".

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.
