A CD-ROM with demos, code, compiler, executables, and MATLAB examples has been added to the book. Simplicity and an easy narration style are the hallmarks of the book, which have made its previous seven editions immensely successful. Today s C programmer (still the language of choice in science, engineering, game programming and for handheld devices) has to master the complexities of the language and contend with its usage in environments like Windows, Linux, and for the Internet. This book covers these three aspects of C programming and doesn t assume any programming background. It begins with the basics and steadily builds the pace, so the reader finds it easy to handle more complicated topics later. This popular author has crafted hundreds of excellent programming examples and exercises for every aspect of C programming. ++++Features +Self-study format provides hundreds of step by step examples and exercises + Assumes no programming knowledge; starts with the basics and progresses to more difficult topics +Includes a CD-ROM with demos, code, compiler, executables, and MATLAB examples +Covers the latest programming techniques for Windows, Linux, and the Internet ++++++Selected Topics Traditional C Programming; Pointers; Complete Build Process; Low-level File I/O; Structures, Unions, Bit-fields; Bitwise Operators.

    I needed money. I should have run, but he promised me it was going to be so easy. But nothing is easy when it comes to notorious billionaire cowboy Duke Fallon – unless you count easy on the eyes, which he definitely is. With his dark eyes, ripped abs, and broad shoulders, he has the body (and the attitude) of someone who knows exactly what to do with his hands. Soon he’s sneaking into my room at night, trailing searing kisses over my body, pushing his fingers inside of me, his hands and lips working to bring me to heights of pleasure I never knew possible. In the morning, he’s always cold and shut down, barely acknowledging me, acting like I’m some kind of afterthought. I know this thing between us is all for show, a pretend romance that’s just as fake as the ad I answered to get here. I know I should take my money, cut my losses, and run. I know he’s incapable of loving me. But if there’s one thing Duke Fallon excels at, it’s blurring the lines between what’s real and what’s not….

    In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800- horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky reveals how and why drivers trust the engineering and science their teams literally build around them not only to get them across the finish line in first place, but also to keep them alive. Professor Leslie-Pelecky is a physicist in love with the sport’s beauty and power and is uniquely qualified to explain exactly how physics translates into winning races. Based on the author’s extensive access to race shops, pit crews, crew chiefs and mechanics, this book traces the life cycle of a race car from behind the scenes at top race shops to the track. The Physics of NASCAR takes readers right into the ultra competitive world of NASCAR, from the champion driver’s hot seat behind the detachable steering wheel to the New Zealander nicknamed Kiwi in charge of shocks for the No. 19 car. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car--and maybe occasionally looks under the hood--can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest. Readers, start your engines.

    Demons & Deadly Encounters. A Journey into the ultimate Heart of Darkness. Excerpts; ‘It’s the middle of the night and he thinks he’s been asleep for a while but he’s wide awake now. Something is pushing down on his chest, hard. He’s fighting to breathe and he tries to move, to get it off him, but his body won’t move. He’s paralysed and filled with panic. He tries to scream but nothing comes out...’ ‘They told her they were going to kill her and she didn't have a chance; they were too many...’ ‘Stood in the hall was a dark figure. The presence was finally showing itself to me...’ ‘The children’s eyes were rolling in their heads, blood pouring from their ears and mouths, talking in strange languages, and being thrown involuntarily across rooms...’ ‘Marks appeared on the neck of our three year old son. They were purple. They looked like strangulation marks.’ ‘Her eyes, which had moments before looked lacklustre and vacant, suddenly blazed with inhuman light.' ‘As the Doctor looked down at the blood in the bowl, he saw it swirling around in a most unnatural way, before rearing up in a solid column and leaping out of the bowl on to the floor. At this point the bowl shattered into a hundred pieces. The doctor fled in terror.’ ‘There are practitioners who have attempted to summon demons, and have been found with every bone in their body broken the next day.’ “I wake to see a tall, dark, hooded figure, standing still, right by my bed; his face covered by his hood, but watching me. I know he was real; I could hear his breathing...” “Her eyes rolled in the back of her head, her face contorted and she would tell him ‘they’ were going to kill her, that she belonged to Satan. It was a deep man’s voice that came out of her. The voice said, “We can kill her at any time we want...” “I’d lie in bed and feel someone’s arms around me. It wasn’t a safe feeling but a menacing one, as if someone was showing me that I belonged to them.” ‘According to the police report, one of the women had killed herself after she’d told friends she’d been hearing a voice that kept telling her to kill herself.’ “A creature appeared in the room, its eyes were glowing red. This creature was physical; at least after it had entered into our reality. It was naked, no hair, extremely muscular. I estimate his height about six foot five but his bone structure was bigger than in a human. His mouth was huge. There was no way to describe it other than as a demon.” "It was just supposed to be fun; we were asking it questions, and then it asked if it could visit us, so I said yes, thinking it was one of the children doing it; but it wasn’t one of the kids. And that’s when the horror started...” ‘Suddenly it was like a stake pierced my chest and gradually, I felt the sensation of it pulling open my ribs. I thought I would die...’ “I saw a boy sat at a table. He called me over to him and started talking to me. He spoke as if he knew all my thoughts. He finished my sentences for me. He promised me everything I always wanted. But there was one condition; I give my soul over to Satan.” “As I lay there I would see demons appearing in different forms; the most hideous faces, covered with blood, with sharp teeth and claws." “When I opened my eyes there was a black shadowed figure. It loomed over me, then took hold of me. I tried to get out of its grip but its strength was overpowering.

    But that was about to change. Getting dumped at the start of my much overdue vacation was not how I planned to spend my time off. Neither was running into someone from my past. It was the last thing I expected.... but just what I needed.My brother’s best friend was headed home when our paths collided at the airport during a massive storm. Twenty years of chemistry crackles around us like lightning, and we give in to what’s been a long time coming. From stranded old friends to insatiable lovers, spending a week together at his lake house, I'm reminded what it’s like to live in the moment. When I realize I didn’t really know him at all, I can’t help but think... I might have been his to hold, but could I be his to keep? Bryce I guess there are worse things than being forced into taking a vacation. I can think of a few. But being fresh out of a bad relationship, and in the middle of a huge merger, is not the ideal time to be jetting off for two weeks. One week in, I decide to cut my trip short, only to end up stranded at the airport. Just my luck. Everything changes when I run into my best friend’s little sister. Twenty years later, she’s all grown up and very much available. One thing leads to another, and we find ourselves back at my place riding out the storm and reconnecting in ways I never imagined. Feelings that had been delayed are finally able to take flight. The girl who held my attention all those years ago is now the woman holding my heart. I’m falling fast, but when we end up face to face in the boardroom, will our vacation romance go from pleasure to business?
