Widely accepted as the authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, this book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by circuit designers -- a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a large bag of tricks. The result is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit intuition, brainstorming, and simplified calculations of circuit values and performance. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the first edition so successful and popular. It is an ideal first textbook on electronics for scientists and engineers and an indispensable reference for anyone, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits.

    

    

    

    

    Now in its fourth edition, the work has been extensively revised, with entirely new artwork, updated examples and new pedagogical features. An interactive CD-ROM with worked examples is included. Alternatively, the material on from the CD-ROM can be down-loaded from a website (see supplements section). Twentieth-century developments such as quantum mechanics are introduced early on, so that students can appreciate their importance and see how they fit into the bigger picture.

    With a new introduction, three new chapters, modernized language and methods throughout, and an appendix of challenging and enjoyable practice problems, Calculus Made Easy has been thoroughly updated for the modern reader.

    The goal of this book is to bring together quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of solids, semiconductor material physics, and semiconductor device physics in a clear and understandable way.

    This book covers all the important aspects of plant tissue culture viz. nutrition media, micropropagation, organ culture, cell suspension culture, haploid culture, protoplast isolation and fusion, secondary metabolite production, somaclonal variation and cryopreservation. For good understanding of recombinant DNA technology, chapters on genetic material, organization of DNA in the genome and basic techniques involved in recombinant DNA technology have been added. Different aspects on rDNA technology covered gene cloning, isolation of plant genes, transposons and gene tagging, in vitro mutagenesis, PCR, molecular markers and marker assisted selection, gene transfer methods, chloroplast and mitochondrion DNA transformation, genomics and bioinformatics. Genomics covers functional and structural genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, sequencing status of different organisms and DNA chip technology. Application of biotechnology has been discussed as transgenics in crop improvement and impact of recombinant DNA technology mainly in relation to biotech crops.

    One Murder, Two Cops A dead body in the prayer hall of a mosque isn’t the best start to the day for anyone. But for Detective Inspector Harold Porter it’s all in a day’s work – he’s a Murder Detective with the Metropolitan Police’s Homicide and Serious Crimes Command. The problem is that DI Porter has been given a new partner – a young Muslim detective by the name of Mohammed Salim Nasri. Nasri and Porter are both British and they are both cops, but they look at the world – and the case – from completely different viewpoints. And when that case includes Islamic terrorists, acid-throwing fundamentalists and knife-wielding fanatics that can only mean problems. As Porter and Nasri work to solve the murder case, MI5 is watching over their shoulders and one wrong move could mean a major terrorist incident exploding in the capital.

    Created through a "student-tested, faculty-approved" review process with over 150 students and faculty, PSYCH 2 is an engaging and accessible solution to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of today's learners.

    It comprehensively presents the material necessary for understanding the internal architecture as well as system design aspects of Intel’s legendary 8085 and 8086 microprocessors and Intel’s 8051 and 8096 microcontrollers.The book throughout maintains an appropriate balance between the basic concepts and the skill sets needed for system design. Besides, the book lucidly explains the hardware architecture, the instruction set and programming, support chips, peripheral interfacing, and cites several relevant examples to help the readers develop a complete understanding of industrial application projects. Several system design case studies are included to reinforce the concepts discussed.With exhaustive coverage and practical approach, the book would be indispensable to undergraduate students of Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, and Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. It can be used for a variety of courses in Microprocessors, Microcontrollers, and Embedded System Design.The second edition of the book introduces additional topics like I/O interfacing and programming, serial interface programming, delay programming using 8086 and 8051. Besides, many more examples and case studies have been added.Contents:Preface • Preface to the First EditionAcknowledgements1. System Design Using Microprocessor2. What a Microprocessor Is3.

    This edition retains the scope and emphasis that have made the book very successful while adding over twenty new numerical examples and over 550 new end-of-chapter problems.

    The House of Illuminati, known around the world as “The Illuminati,” has broken years of silence with this publication. The Illuminati has made known its “Laws” which they indicate are the secrets of success for anyone who embarks upon the path of Light. Organized in six chapters, the book begins with “Chapter 1: The 66 Laws.” Chapter 1 details the sixty-six rules of life suggested by the Illuminati as a guaranteed guide to success. The Laws are age-old, proverbial wisdom which typically sheds light on a principle of good character. Each of the Laws is followed by a Lesson that gives further clarity; insight, meaning, and commentary to help the reader better understand how to apply the Law. Chapter 2, “A Letter to the Youth of the Present Age,” is a letter written by the Illuminati to the youth of the 21st century. It is a passionate epistle in response to comments made by rap artist Jay-Z and negative, inaccurate rumors which were circulating at the time. Chapter 3, “The House of Illuminati,” shares the ancient and modern history of Illuminati. Chapter 4, “The Rituals,” is a behind-the-scenes look at what happens inside the secret House including admission criteria and ceremonies. Chapter 5, “The Creed,” and Chapter 6, “The Prayer,” publish the Illuminati’s creed and prayer which shape the essence of what the Illuminati believes. For the first time in centuries, this book is the only known source of written documents which define The Illuminati. A detailed account of our purpose and our commitment to the “path of Light” is provided for the public. The Illuminati hopes that all readers around the world will unite in a common cause to pursue the Light and travel down a road of success. Success is guaranteed to any person who follows the Laws and learns from the Lessons. On the path of the Light,The Illuminati
