Description: Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, Second Edition is designed to be easy to read and understand although the topic itself is complicated. Algorithms are the procedures that software programs use to manipulate data structures. Besides clear and simple example programs, the author includes a workshop as a small demonstration program executable on a Web browser. The programs demonstrate in graphical form what data structures look like and how they operate. In the second edition, the program is rewritten to improve operation and clarify the algorithms, the example programs are revised to work with the latest version of the Java JDK, and questions and exercises will be added at the end of each chapter making the book even more useful.

Description: Ready-made SPICE power supply solutions

Now you can get solutions to the most difficult problems facing power supply designers: shrinking size and increased thermal constraints. Christophe Basso’s SMPS SPICE Cookbook is a complete designer’s toolkit with tested, ready-to-run SPICE models on an accompanying CD-ROM. The models come in all three SPICE flavors with demo versions. You can start from scratch, installing the software and simulating the examples in the book without any SPICE experience whatsoever. All the common SMPS topologies are covered: buck, boost, buck-boost, and SEPIC. Each is described in terms of relative strengths and weaknesses and then modeled. Just turn to the CD, pull out the model in the flavor of SPICE you use, plug in your own values – and out comes a design solution. All the models in the book have been carefully simulated and tested. A special website even lets you access new models that will be posted on a continuing basis

Description: Nace nurtured Peachpit Press from a home-based operation, writing and publishing computer guides, to a business worthy of acquisition by the Pearson conglomerate. The experience inspired him to study the nature of corporate power. He offers a breezy summary of the legal history surrounding the formation of corporations and the parameters of their power, putting an anti-corporate spin on the American Revolution and discussing how the early republic limited corporate power by enabling state governments to issue restrictive charters. But the tight controls didn't remain in place: after the Supreme Court's decision in an 1886 case involving the Santa Clara Railroad, corporations were assumed to be the legal equivalent of people entitled to equal protection under the law and, in subsequent cases, were guaranteed a growing range of constitutional rights. One of Nace's central arguments is that Santa Clara doesn't mean what everybody thinks it means: the original decision doesn't take any stand on whether corporations have constitutional rights; the question comes up in a subsequent version of the decision, but the Chief Justice acts as if it had been resolved in earlier decisions. Although Nace blames the Court's reporter for the shift in emphasis, he illustrates how another justice, Stephen Field, was already buttressing politicians' and financial titans' efforts to eliminate all restraints on corporate power, making their legal supremacy inevitable. Later chapters examine how corporations continue to wield their influence to prevent the government from regulating them too closely, but while the book offers plenty of details about the problem's existence and deftly introduces it, it offers little more than generalities about where to go from there.

Description: As an infrequent Excel user, I seem to find new problems every time I take the program out for a spin. I note all of the ways that the program wastes my time and look in vain for helpful information inside the program itself.

When F1 arrived, I quickly trotted out my list of things that I would like to be able to do faster, easier and with less stress using Excel. I was pleasantly surprised to see many helpful solutions related to selecting, copying and pasting, formatting and printing. It took me less than an hour to find dozens of methods that I will be using the next time I trot out Excel. That was a good payoff compared to the price of the book and the time I spent. I estimate I will save three hours in my next project where I spend at least eight hours with Excel.

Although I didn't need this feature, I was very impressed that Mr. Rubin had taken the time to differentiate between Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002 and Excel 2003. If you have an older version, this book will not only help you accomplish more with the version you have . . . it will also help you decide if it's worth it to upgrade to the latest version.

Description: This book considers how languages have traditionally been divided into families, and asks how they should classified in the future. It describes and applies computer programs from biology and evolutionary genetics to data about languages and shows how the power of the computer can be harnessed
to throw light on long-standing problems in historical linguistics. It tests current theories and hypotheses, shows how new ideas can be formulated, and offers a series of demonstrations that the new techniques applied to old data can produce convincing results that are sometimes startlingly at odds
with accepted wisdom. April and Robert McMahon combine the expertise and perspectives of an historical linguist and a geneticist. They analyse the links between linguistic and population genetics, and consider how far language can be used to discover and understand the histories and interrelations
of human populations. They explore the origins and formation of the Indo-European languages and examine less well studied languages in South America. Their book will be of great practical importance to students and researchers in historical and comparative linguistics and will interest all those
concerned with the classification and diffusion of languages in fields such as archaeology, genetics, and anthropology. Its approachable style will appeal to general readers seeking to know more about the relationship between linguistic and human history.
