By Andrew Koenig , Barbara E. Moo Why is Accelerated C++ so effective? Because it *Starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones: You can begin writing programs immediately. *Describes real problems and solutions, not just language features: You see not only what each feature is, but also how to use it. *Covers the language and standard library together: You can use the library right from the start. The authors proved this approach in their professional-education course at Stanford University, where students learned how to write substantial programs on their first day in the classroom. Topics covered: * Introduction to C++ * Console I/O with stream classes * Basic string handling * Loop and flow-control statements * Arrays * Using functions and methods * Using Standard Template Library (STL) containers (vectors, linked lists, and maps) * Iterators * Sorting and generic functions * Basic class design * Pointers and arrays * File I/O * Memory-management techniques, including statically and dynamically allocated memory * Adding stream support to custom classes * Conversion operators * Operator overloading * Friend functions * Inheritance * Polymorphism and virtual functions * Handle idioms for classes, including reference counting * Quick reference to the C++ language

Description: Wolfgang Pauli was not only one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century: His huge correspondence and unpublished manuscripts also demonstrate his deep interest in questions beyond physics.

This volume explores the relevance of Pauli's visionary ideas with respect to several topics in science and philosophy that are of great contemporary interest: the role of symmetries in theoretical science; dual-aspect approaches to the mind-brain problem; the tension between psychological and physical time; the nature of creative activity and the origin of mathematical insight; and adaptive mutations and epigenetics in biology. Today we are in a position to appreciate how relevant Pauli's work and speculations have turned out to be. This book, authored by a team of internationally renowned experts, provides material and suggests directions for future studies of a variety of deep-seated and open problems, in particular concerning the relation between mind and matter.

Description: The book presents the current state of studies of point defects, both intrinsic and extrinsic (impurities, radiation centers, etc.) in LiNbO3. The contribution of intrinsic defects to photoinduced charge transport, i.e. to the photorefraction, is explained. The photorefractive and optical properties of LiNbO3 crystals with different stoichiometry and of those doped with so-called "optical-damage resistant" impurities controlling the intrinsic defect structure are described in detail. Applications are the problem of non-erasable recording of photorefractive holograms in LiNbO3 and the current situation of studies in the ferroelectric switching and domain structure of LiNbO3 as well as the creation of periodically-poled structures for the optical frequency conversion.

Description: The Ancestor's Tale is a pilgrimage back through time; a journey on which we meet up with fellow pilgrims as we and they converge on our common ancestors. Chimpanzees join us at about 6 million years in the past, orang utans at 14 million years, as we stride on together, a growing band. The journey provides the setting for a collection of some 40 tales. Each explores an aspect of evolutionary biology through the stories of characters met along the way. The tales are interspersed with prologues detailing the journey, route maps showing joining lineages, and life-like reconstructions of our common ancestors. The Ancestor's Tale represents a pilgrimage on an unimaginable scale: our goal is four billion years away, and the number of pilgrims joining us grows vast - ultimately encompassing all living creatures. At the end of the journey lies something remarkable in its simplicity and transformative power: the first, humble, replicating molecules.

Description: This volume describes simplified dynamic analyses that bridge the gap between the rather limited provisions of design codes and the rather eclectic methods used in sophisticated analyses. Graphs and spreadsheets are included for the ease and speed of use of simplified analyses of:

soil slope (in)stability and displacements caused by earthquakes,
sand liquefaction and flow caused by earthquakes,
dynamic soil-foundation interaction,
bearing capacity and additional settlement of shallow foundations,
earthquake motion effects on tunnels and shafts,
frequent liquefaction potential mitigation measures.

A number of comments on the assumptions used in different methods, limitation and factors affecting the results are given. Several case histories are also included in the appendices in order to assess the accuracy and usefulness of the simplified methods.

...This latest edition has been expanded by more than 60%. ...The new book contains 22 chapters…

If you are a mushroom enthusiast, you must have this complex book. It would also serve admirably as part of a graduate level mycology course.
- Matthew W. Bernart, Rogue Community College, Oregon in the Journal of Natural Products, 2005, Volume 68

Since the publication of the first edition of this book, important developments in biotechnology and mushroom production made a new, revised version necessary. … [This book] forms a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information for all interested in edible and medicinal mushrooms and their cultivation.
- Peroonia, 2004

The name 'S.-T. Chang' is almost synonymous with the cultivation and use of mushrooms…the personal practical experience, depth of knowledge, and enthusiasms of the authors shine in these chapters, which are to me the heart of the book…this new edition of the essential reference work mycologists involved in mushroom cultivation turn to will surely also play a role in helping promote mushroom cultivation and use.

Description: Despite their long tradition spices are subject to international modern scientific research. This has made it necessary to disseminate knowledge to a large audience of interest. The book addresses this need by informing the reader about the complex worldwide use of spice plants.

The many spice and aromatic plants are arranged in alphabetical order of their botanical relevance. It includes all species which have been cultivated for the above purposes. It also covers species whose usage has long ceased or which are used only rarely or have become wild. In this respect the author has aimed at comprehensiveness. In total over 1400 plants have been collated.

The very extensive register of literature has been designed to facilitate intensive study of a specific plant or spice. Works both on botany and agriculture, and on chemistry, pharmacodynamics and usage have been considered.

The book is aimed principally at spice and aroma experts, pharmacists, botanists and interested lay persons. But the author also had in mind food chemists, dieticians and agricultural scientists, for whom botany, chemistry and pharmacological aspects may be of interest. It is hoped that those occupied in the spice and aroma industry involved in creating spice blends and the like will also take inspiration from the book.
