The authoritative DEITELT LIVE-CODET introduction to Internet and World Wide Web programming
The Internet and World Wide Web have revolutionized software development with multimediaintensive, platform-independent code for conventional Internet-, Intranet- and Extranet-based applications. This college-level textbook carefully explains how to program multitiered, client/server, database-intensive, Web-based applications.
Dr. Harvey M. Deitel and Paul J. Deitel are the founders of Deitel and Associates, Inc., the internationally recognized corporate training and content-creation organization specializing in JavaT, C++, C, Visual C#T, Visual BasicR, Visual C++R, .NET, XML, Python, Perl, Internet, Web and object technologies. The Deitels are also the authors of the world's #1 Java and C++ textbooks-Java How to Program, 4/e and C++ How to Program, 3/e-and many other best sellers. In Internet and World Wide Web How to Program, 2/e, the Deitels and their colleague, Tem R. Nieto, discuss key topics, including:
* XHTMLT/CSST/Dynamic HTML
* Multitier Client/Server Applications
* Internet Explorer 5. Read more...
Kularatna's new book describes modern component families and how to design circuit blocks using them. While much of this information may be available elsewhere, in "Modern Component Families and Circuit Block Design", it is integrated with additional design hints that are unique. The discussion covers most components necessary in an embedded design or a DSP-based real time system design. The chapter on modern semi-conductor sensors allows system designers to use the latest sensor ICs for real-world physical parameter sensing. It covers the most recent low-power components. It is written by an authority on power electronics. It includes extensive illustrations and references.

Sir William Gerald Golding (19 September 1911 - 19 June 1993) was a British novelist, poet and Nobel Prize for Literature laureate best known for his novel Lord of the Flies. He was also awarded the Booker Prize for literature in 1980, for his novel Rites of Passage, the first book of the trilogy To the Ends of the Earth.
Lord of the Flies is an allegorical novel by Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding. It discusses how culture created by man fails, using as an example a group of British school-boys stuck on a deserted island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results. Its stances on the already controversial subjects of human nature and individual welfare versus the common good earned it position 70 on the American Library Association's list of the 100 most frequently challenged Books of 1990-2000. The novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.
Published in 1954, Lord of the Flies was Golding's first novel, and although it was not a great success at the time - selling fewer than three thousand copies in the United States during 1955 before going out of print - it soon went on to become a bestseller, and by the early 1960s was required reading in many schools and colleges. It was adapted to film in 1963 by Peter Brook, and again in 1990 by Harry Hook (see "Film adaptations").
The title is said to be a reference to the Hebrew name Beelzebub (Ba'al-zvuv, "god of the fly", "host of the fly" Read more... 
Mechatronics has emerged as its own discipline over the past decade, yet no reference has lived up to the demands of being a working guide for designing and implementing the new generation of mechatronic systems. Uniting an international team of leading experts, Mechatronic Systems: Devices, Design, Control, Operation and Monitoring rises to the challenge of providing a practical, comprehensive, and detailed guide to the theory and application of modern mechatronics. Weaving the Multi-Domain Tapestry This book treats all components of the mechatronic system as a unified whole, combining mechanics, electronics, intelligent control, sensors, actuators, and communication networks through integrated design. Extensive cross-referencing lends this work a coherence not found in other books on mechatronics, which amount to little more than collections of papers. Real-World Guidance from the Experts Extensive examples and case studies take you effortlessly from theory to analysis, design, and application. Convenient snapshots in the form of tables, graphs, illustrations, and summaries give you immediate access to the information you need. Mechatronic Systems: Devices, Design, Control, Operation and Monitoring is a critical compendium of need-to-know information covering mechatronic devices, communication and control technologies, mechatronic design and optimization, and techniques for monitoring and diagnosis.

The Most Practical Guide to Writing Linux Device Drivers
Linux now offers an exceptionally robust environment for driver development: with today's kernels, what once required years of development time can be accomplished in days. In this practical, example-driven book, one of the world's most experienced Linux driver developers systematically demonstrates how to develop reliable Linux drivers for virtually any device. Essential Linux Device Drivers is for any programmer with a working knowledge of operating systems and C, including programmers who have never written drivers before. Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran focuses on the essentials, bringing together all the concepts and techniques you need, while avoiding topics that only matter in highly specialized situations. Venkateswaran begins by reviewing the Linux 2.6 kernel capabilities that are most relevant to driver developers. He introduces simple device classes; then turns to serial buses such as I2C and SPI; external buses such as PCMCIA, PCI, and USB; video, audio, block, network, and wireless device drivers; user-space drivers; and drivers for embedded Linux-one of today's fastest growing areas of Linux development. For each, Venkateswaran explains the technology, inspects relevant kernel source files, and walks through developing a complete example.
* Addresses drivers discussed in no other book, including drivers for I2C, video, sound, PCMCIA, and different types of flash memory
* Demystifies essential kernel se Read more... 
This volume is designed as a textbook for an introductory course on wavelet analysis and time-frequency analysis aimed at graduate students or advanced undergraduates in science and engineering. It can also be used as a self-study or reference book by practicing researchers in signal analysis and related areas. Since the expected audience is not presumed to have a high level of mathematical background, much of the needed analytical machinery is developed from the beginning. The only prerequisites for the first eight chapters are matrix theory, Fourier series, and Fourier integral transforms. Each of these chapters ends with a set of straightforward exercises designed to drive home the concepts just covered, and the many graphics should further facilitate absorption.
Reviews
Summary: Very thorough treatment, but *not* a beginner's text.
Rating: 4
A classic text *but* look at the graph on the cover very carefully because it is the only one you'll get until you reach the last chapters of the book. In terms of the presentation of the basic theorems and equations, the text is excellent ... BUT ... there is precious little to guide a student to an intuitive and practical understanding of the theory. In practice, one looks at the graphical representations of wavelets quite often -- just like the ones used for Fourier analysis (can you imagine your first Fourier analysis class with no graphs of convolution, impulses, etc? Wavelets *are* Fourier analysis taken a step further Read more...

First published in 1881, this complete guide is a practical addition to any outdoor lover's library.
This book is a treasure chest of 19th century bushcraft, hunting, and trapping methods that can be and are still useful today. Some of the hunting and trapping techniques may be considered illegal today and one can make more money off of trapping today but then again in 1881 there were no income taxes and the dollar was still on the gold standard $10.00 for an otter pelt weren't bad but still if fur companies paid for furs back then what they pay today a lot of them old time trappers would have been living in the lap of luxery. This book is an excellent look back into a era where things were a little less complicated.
