Nancy C. Andreasen, “Brave New Brain: Conquering Mental Illness in the Era of The Genome”
Oxford University Press | ISBN:0195167287 | 392 pages | PDF | 19 MB

After centuries of outsiders carping about scientific reductionism, the promised synthesis is finally on its way. Immunology, genetics, medicine, neurology, and other fields are starting to overlap more and more, and prominent neuropsychiatrist Nancy C. Andreasen explores one exciting intersection in Brave New Brain. The author’s broad understanding and straightforward writing offer readers a penetrating glimpse into new and future treatments for mental illness. Focusing on four devastating maladies (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and dementia), she shows what scientists have learned about them recently thanks to powerful imaging and biochemical tools. This knowledge, growing exponentially and integrated with data from diverse scientific research including the Human Genome Project, is used to propose mechanisms underlying diseases and potential cures–from genetic repair to bold new pharmacologic interventions.

Well-illustrated and lucidly explained, the book is an excellent lay primer on the brain and its disorders. Though Andreasen’s prose isn’t as elegant as some of her colleagues’, it is clear and always to the point; many readers will appreciate the lack of distraction from the book’s content. The hope she holds out to sufferers of mental illness, if not immediately promising, is certainly brighter than has been offered in recent years. Despite its moderately sinister title, Brave New Brain is an enlightening and even uplifting look at the convergence of several important scientific disciplines

James D. McCabe «Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, Third Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)»
Morgan Kaufmann | ISBN 0123704804 | 496 Pages | Edition: 3rd - June 15, 2007| PDF | 2.85 Mb

Traditionally, networking has had little or no basis in analysis or architectural development, with designers relying on technologies they are most familiar with or being influenced by vendors or consultants. However, the landscape of networking has changed so that network services have now become one of the most important factors to the success of many third generation networks. It has become an important feature of the designer?s job to define the problems that exist in his network, choose and analyze several optimization parameters during the analysis process, and then prioritize and evaluate these parameters in the architecture and design of the system.

Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, 3e, uses a systems methodology approach to teaching these concepts, which views the network (and the environment it impacts) as part of the larger system, looking at interactions and dependencies between the network and its users, applications, and devices. This approach matches the new business climate where customers drive the development of new services and the book discusses how networks can be architected and designed to provide many different types of services to customers. With a number of examples, analogies, instructor tips, and exercises, this book works through the processes of analysis, architecture, and design step by step, giving designers a solid resource for making good design decisions.

With examples, guidelines, and general principles McCabe illuminates how a network begins as a concept, is built with addressing protocol, routing, and management, and harmonizes with the interconnected technology around it. Other topics covered in the book are learning to recognize problems in initial design, analyzing optimization parameters, and then prioritizing these parameters and incorporating them into the architecture and design of the system. This is an essential book for any professional that will be designing or working with a network on a routine basis.

*Substantially updated design content includes ad hoc networks, GMPLS, IPv6, and mobile networking
*Written by an expert in the field that has designed several large-scale networks for government agencies, universities, and corporations
*Incorporates real-life ideas and experiences of many expert designers along with case studies and end-of-chapter exercises

Fundamentals of Robotic Mechanical Systems: Theory, Methods, and Algorithms
Jorge Angeles | Springer; 2nd. edition | ISBN: 0387294120 | PDF | 549 Pages | 6.1MB

Modern robotics dates from the late 1960s, when progress in the development of microprocessors made possible the computer control of a multiaxial manipulator. Since then, robotics has evolved to connect with many branches of science and engineering, and to encompass such diverse fields as computer vision, artificial intelligence, and speech recognition. This book deals with robots-such as remote manipulators, multifingered hands, walking machines, flight simulators, and machine tools-that rely on mechanical systems to perform their tasks. It aims to establish the foundations on which the design, control and implementation of the underlying mechanical systems are based. The treatment assumes familiarity with some calculus, linear algebra, and elementary mechanics; however, the elements of rigid-body mechanics and of linear transformations are reviewed in the first chapters, making the presentation self-contained. An extensive set of exercises is included. Topics covered include: kinematics and dynamics of serial manipulators with decoupled architectures; trajectory planning; determination of the angular velocity and angular acceleration of a rigid body from point data; inverse and direct kinematics manipulators; dynamics of general parallel manipulators of the platform type; and the kinematics and dynamics of rolling robots. Since the publication of the previous edition there have been numerous advances in both the applications of robotics (including in laprascopy, haptics, manufacturing, and most notably space exploration) as well as in the theoretical aspects (for example, the proof that Husty’s 40th-degree polynomial is indeed minimal - mentioned as an open question in the previous edition). This new edition has been revised and updated throughout to include these new

S Programming
Springer| 2004-01-09 | ISBN: 0387989668 | 400 Pages | 2.23 MB | DJVU

S is a high-level language for manipulating, analysing and displaying data. It forms the basis of two highly acclaimed and widely used data analysis software systems, the commercial S-PLUS(R) and the Open Source R. This book provides an in-depth guide to writing software in the S language under either or both of those systems. It is intended for readers who have some acquaintance with S language and want to know how to use it more effectively, for example to build re-usable tools for streamlining routine data analysis or to implement new statistical methods. One ofhe most outstanding strengths of the S language is the ease with which it can be extended by users. S is a functional language, and functions written by users are first-class objects treated in the same way as functions provided by the system. S code is eminently readable and so a good way to document precisely what algorithms were used, and as much of the implementations are themselves written in S, they can be studied as models and to understand their subtleties. The current implementations also provide easy ways for S functions to call compiled code written in C, Fortran and similar languages; this is documented here in depth. Increasingly S is being used for statistical or graphical analysis within larger software systems or for whole vertical-market applications. The interface facilities are most developed on Windows(R) and these are covered with worked examples. The authors have written the widely adopted ‘Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS’, now in its third edition, and several software libraries that enhance S-PLUS and R; these and the examples used in both books are available on the Internet. Dr. W.N. Venables is a senior Statistician with the CSIRO/CMIS Environmentrics Project in Autralia, having been at the Department of Statistics, University of Adelaide for many years previously. Professor B.D. Ripley holds the Chair of Applied Statistics at the University of Oxford, and is the author of four other books on spatial statistics, simulation, pattern recognition and neural networks. Both authors are known and respected thorughout the international S and R communities, for their books, workshops, short courses, freely available software and through their extensive contributions to the S-news and R mailing lists.

In a typical organization, there’s always plenty that to do such as: pay vendors, invoice customers, answer customer inquiries, and fix bugs in hardware or software. You need to know who wants what and keep track of what is left to do.

This is where a ticketing system comes in. A ticketing system allows you to check the status of various tasks: when they were requested, who requested them and why, when they were completed, and more. RT is a high-level, open source ticketing system efficiently enabling a group of people to manage tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users.

RT Essentials, co-written by one of the RT’s original core developers, Jesse Vincent, starts off with a quick background lesson about ticketing systems and then shows you how to install and configure RT. This comprehensive guide explains how to perform day-to-day tasks to turn your RT server into a highly useful tracking tool. One way it does this is by examining how a company could use RT to manage its internal processes. Advanced chapters focus on developing add-on tools and utilities using Perl and Mason. There’s also chapter filled with suggested uses for RT inside your organization.

No matter what kind of data your organization tracks–from sales inquiries to security incidents or anything in between–RT Essentials helps you use RT to provide order when you need it most.

Virginia Smith, Clean: A History of Personal Hygiene and Purity
Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0199297797 | May 4, 2007 | 416 pages | PDF | 3.5 MB

The first television commercial was for soap, claims Virginia Smith in her thoroughly researched albeit occasionally sluggish new book. She doesn’t supply the dirty details about the commercial, but it’s easy to imagine that she is right. After all, such ads, along with hit tunes (”Splish Splash,” anyone?), nursery rhymes (”Rub a dub dub”) and Sesame Street ditties (”Rubber ducky, you’re the one, you make bath time lots of fun”) have helped soap and bathtub rituals leave a considerable ring around popular culture.

According to Smith, ads that pushed cleaning concoctions — not just for our bodies, but for our laundry and living spaces, too — blossomed along with the emergence of television during the 1950s. They were ubiquitous enough to inspire a durable nickname for serial daytime dramas, known henceforth as soap operas. Nowadays, Smith notes, soaps, shampoos, polishes and shower gels “are not quite the staple of TV advertising budgets that they were.” Still, ads featuring them continue to take hold of our imaginations. I remember, for example, an ’80s spot about a deodorant soap. The blue bar’s magical lather so invigorated the ad’s hero that he dressed eagerly, undeterred by the downpour outside his window. When his sleepy spouse asked him how he expected to get to work in such a deluge, he smiled confidently at the camera and declared, “backstroke.”

Of course that ad is tame by more recent standards. Who, for instance, can forget a certain herbal shampoo that promises a “totally organic experience”? In one such ad, the bubbly balm inspired a woman to climb the walls of her shower stall, loudly exclaiming her bliss while her clueless husband listened with concern on the other side of the door. These Madison Avenue productions are meant to convince us that few experiences can be as transporting — “Calgon, take me away” — as a serene soak or a sudsy washing-up.

Smith suggests that we really don’t need much persuasion. Our belief in the transformative power of a good scrub goes back centuries, the roots of which are carefully detailed in Clean. “The long story of washing and bathing water began in the Neolithic at some indeterminate date,” Smith believes. She goes on to show that our almost instinctive devotion to cleanliness has a solid basis in neurology, chemistry and other hard sciences that help us to understand that being groomed not only does away with dirt but also “produces mildly narcotic effects; and the longer it carries on, the more swooning or relaxing effects it achieves.” Totally organic indeed.

Smith, an honorary fellow of the Centre for History in Public Health in London, eschews digging into the dirty side of her discipline, preferring instead to look at “standards of cleanliness and the reformers of cleanliness.” Consequently, her dutiful discussion of influential texts such as the 363-verse Regimen Sanitatus Salernitanum slows down the narrative and sometimes proves more distracting than informative. Fortunately, Smith knows that it is necessary to provide a little “gross” intelligence here and there to keep her chronicle from circling the drain. To wit: “We shed skin, hair, and toenail clippings, and generally dispose of quantities of waste matter minute by minute, day by day, year in year out — normally between 3 and 6 ounces a day, or 4 tons in the average lifetime. Between 75 and 80 percent of vacuum cleaner dirt consists of human skin cells.”

Those wet and wild ancient Greeks and Romans knew nothing of skin cells — not to mention uprights and carpet sweepers — but they believed in the power of the bath. For Greeks, “water was a primordial thing that flowed across all the social and semantic boundaries,” taking on a divine aspect when featured in purification ceremonies. The Romans adapted Greek bathing habits to their own imperial culture. Their bathhouses became “masterpieces of the art” in which “the customer could wander at will, sampling each cold, hot, tepid, or steam bath.” But those were pagan playhouses that lost their gleam when the Christian church rose to influence after the fall of Rome. “The ideology of cleanliness was turned upside down,” Smith writes. “Judaeo-Christian asceticism insisted that the cleansing of the inner soul was absolutely imperative, whereas the cleansing of the outer body was a worldly distraction, and its ornamentation a positive sin.” Christians eventually reconciled bathing with their spiritual striving, however, and by the medieval era, monasteries were the best places to find excellent baths and latrines.

In the 21st century, personal hygiene has “reached a stage of general consensus,” incorporating venerable associations of purity, sanitation and spiritual health. But Smith rightly notes that “for many people today there is one sole and sufficient reason for practising personal hygiene that eclipses all others: self-representation.” There had been earlier outbreaks of cleanliness as vanity, however, and perhaps never more so extreme as in the 1600s and 1700s. “Throughout both of these centuries,” Smith tells us, “flesh was privately pampered, and everywhere on display.” But hygiene often took the form of perfumes, powders and paints instead of soap and water, and “fleas, lice, smeared paintwork and powerful body odors” often lurked underneath the elaborate facades.

Not so for us modern folk, right? In the technologically advanced West, “decades of increased personal hygiene and cosmetic awareness have finally paid off. . . . There are, quite literally, many more beautiful and unblemished people around.” And we’re as concerned about germs as we are about appearance: Smith estimates that 700 new antibacterial cleansing products hit the market between 1992 and 1998. Does that mean we’re sanitized as well as shiny? Well . . .

In his book Better, Atul Gawande, a surgeon, discusses the difficulty of “getting clinicians . . . to do the one thing that consistently halts the spread of infections: wash our hands.” If doctors are remiss about basic hygiene, just imagine how sloppy the rest of us must be.

Apparently, filthy habits are as common as that fragrant slab of sodium tallowate, hydrogenated tallow acid, glycerine and assorted chemicals sitting in your soap dish. Think about that at the next office party, when your grimy-fingered colleague grabs a generous handful of the communal cheese curls. Then leave a copy of Clean on his desk.

Future Interaction Design by A. Pirhonen
Springer | 224 pages | 2005 | ISBN: 9781852337919 | PDF | 1.4 Mb

The perspectives and techniques used in human-computer interaction design, practice and research are broadening. This book looks at emerging approaches which are likely to contribute to the discipline in near future. The emphasis is on the social, cognitive, emotional, creative and active dimensions of the human actor. The underlying idea is that human character rather than technology should determine the nature of interaction. The concept of "interaction design" covers this broader range of concerns relevant to enabling quality design. Each chapter emphasizes alternative perspectives on interaction and new concepts to help researchers and practitioners relate to alternative design approaches and opportunities. Many of these new elements can be found to be successful and established in other fields, such as information systems development and industrial design. This volume will be of considerable value to those seeking innovative and developing perspectives upon both designing and ensuring effective interaction between humans and technology.

Andrew Glyn, “Capitalism Unleashed: Finance, Globalization, and Welfare”
Oxford University Press | ISBN / ASIN:0199291993 | 2006 | 256 pages | PDF

Free enterprise is off the leash and chasing new opportunities for profit making across the globe. After a turbulent century of unprecedented social and technological change, Capitalism has emerged as the dominant ideology and model for economic growth in the richest, most developed countries. But only thirty years ago economic growth was faltering, inflation rising and the Left were arguing for greater state intervention in industry. How did this remarkable transformation happen? And what price have we paid in the process? This accessible and persuasive book challenges the notion of our capitalist destiny. It provides a clear and concise history of the problems facing the economies of Europe, Japan and the US during the latter half of the twentieth century and questions whether capitalism has really brought the levels of economic growth and prosperity that were hoped for.
Andrew Glyn then looks at the impact the rapidly developing economies of China and the South are likely to have on the older economies of the North. As the race is on to maintain growth and protect competitive advantage, Glyn asks: is the ‘race-to-the bottom’ inevitable as the anti-globalisers predict, with welfare states being dismantled to meet competitive demands? Or is there an alternative model which sees a strong commitment to welfare provision as essential to economic growth? Can we afford not to tackle inequality at home as well as abroad?

The Greek State
W. W. Norton & Company | ISBN 0416701108 | 1960 Edition | PDF | 457 pages | 2 MB

The Greek word, polis, “city” has become an integral part of our culture and appears in words such as polity and political. Scholars never tire of tracing the development of the first polities among the Greeks. From there one usually goes on to talk about the ideal, heavenly, or imaginary state. Ehrenberg’s work, however, is another masterpiece of scholarship, detailing exactly how the individual states arose, began to confederate and then to unite, and what, because of it, our cultural expectations came to be regarding some such institution called “a polity.”

Geraldine A. Johnson, Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction
Oxford University Press | ISBN 0192803549 | 2005 | PDF | 3 MB | 177 pages

Clearly, it can be very difficult to really 'see' the artists as well as the art of 15th- and 16th-century Europe as Renaissance beholders would have done. However, by trying to reconstruct the original 'period eye' that would have gazed not only on a relatively small number of works by the great Michelangelo, but also on many more images and objects produced by much less well-known or even anonymous artists and craftsmen, we can begin to move beyond considering only who produced a particular work of art, and instead start to understand why and how such works were made, used, and understood by their original Renaissance beholders.

Nearly a decade into their run, it’s clear that The Simpsons is one of the best-loved and most influential television shows to come down the pike in a long while. If the show’s attitude was a little less pervasive, this encyclopedic book would be aimed solely at Simpsons addicts. But that’s not entirely true–Matt Groening and Ray Richmond have created a book that is essential for anyone interested in where TV is today. That’s not to suggest that the book is serious, though–it’s not. The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family (that’s debatable, but who cares?) is a collection of everything related to the show, from all the “couch gags” during the end of the opening credits, to the complete words to the theme song from The Itchy and Scratchy Show. There are broadcast dates, credits, and hidden jokes for every episode. You’ll even find a list of things that make Homer go “Mmm…”
