出版社：Routledge

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The visual arts such as photography and most other systems of signs through which people make meaning can best be understood and interpreted through three distinct but related dimensions, argues O'Toole (emeritus communications studies, Murdoch U., Perth, Australia). They are representational meaning, modal meaning, and compositional meaning--functions he borrowed from the systemic-functional linguistics of M. A. K. Halliday and his colleagues. He writes for people who, like him, have no formal training in the visual arts, but enjoy visiting galleries, and admiring sculptures in parks or squares. Looking first at perceptions then conceptions, he discusses such topics as Sandro Botticeli's 1478 Primavera, a semiotics of architecture, modes of comparison, the social semiotic and the viewing subject, and mono-functional tendencies. Among the features of the accompanying disk is a virtual gallery. The first edition was published in 1994 by Leicester University Press.

简介：　　The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs describes not only everything you need to know to start designing FPGAs, but also how the art came to be in its current state...Unlike many in the EDA industry, Maxfield doesn't forget that chips go on boards: One chapter looks at PCB considerations of FPGA Design...I must admit that when I first saw the book, I imagined reading it would be something of a slog as so many technical books are. Upon opening the book, I was delighted to discover that Maxfield's writing style actually makes reading the book more of a romp in the part. There are portions of the book that I intended to just scan but found myself sucked into reading in full...The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs will be a great source of knowledge to the FPGA newcomer. It will also provide new insights and broaden the veteran designer's knowledge of the field. But most of all it is a fun and engaging read for anyone for whom electronics design is more than a 9-to-5 job. It is a good buy at the $49.95 list price - PRINTED CIRCUIT DESIGN & MANUFACTURE JULY 2004 　　 　　If you've never read any books written by Clive "Max" Maxfield, then you're in for a treat. True to form, his latest book on FPGAs is enjoyable to read. Yet it's also rich in the technical details that any modern designer would need...He covers all of the issues that anyone working with FPGAs or thinking about moving to them would need to know...As with most of Max's work, this book's appendix is a treasure trove of background tutorials...While this book is well suited for young engineers - anyone with less than the prerequisite five years in FPGA or ASIC design - it also offers many topics that will interest the experienced designer - Wireless Systems Design, August 2004 　　 　　...a must-read book for those designers who either want an introduction to designing with FPGAs or need to broaden their understanding of the EDA tools available for such applications. Maxfield writes in a easy-to-read style, and provides insightful and diverse information for designers and curious readers alike. The author has never forgotten his designer roots, and the book is full of examples and chapters dedicated to such applications as gigabit transceivers, linear-feedback-shift registers, and integration of third-party cores. -- EDN, 5/21/2004

简介：The title "writings" is slightly misleading; this is not a reader but a survey of jazz and jazz musicians from its inception through the rising stars of the 1990s. Davis (U. of Pittsburgh) writes in the personal tone of someone who has long been active in the jazz scene (the preface is by Donald Byrd, one of many musicians Davis has played with), offering many frank opinions that seek to correct historic misconceptions about jazz and jazz musicians. The audio CD features classic works from Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Coleman Hawkins, among others. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Uusipaikka (mathematics, U. of Turku) writes primarily about profile likelihood-based confidence intervals and generalized regression models with a nod to generalized linear models. Uusipaikka begins as with likelihood-based statistical inference, including likelihood ratio tests and maximum likelihood estimates, then moves to generalized regression models (giving definitions and special cases), the general linear model, including confidence the region's and intervals, nonlinear regression models, generalized linear models, binomial and logistic regression models, Poisson regression models, multinomial regression models, and other generalized regression models, including those which are linear. Extremely well illustrated and containing a wealth of real-life examples, this is intended for senior undergraduate and first level graduate students in generalized regression and can also be suitable in the study of applied statistics.
