Suretta enjoyed experiencing the unique perspectives her children shared about the world around them, and often shared her stories with others. She was encouraged to record them for friends and family. Almost 10 years later, countless others have delighted in hearing similar stories, so she has decided to re-release the original version. This is a book that will make you smile. It will also show how the world is seen in the eyes of child(ren) ...
The Constitution of Literature examines Restoration and eighteenth-century literary criticism as a debate over theories of reading and argues that literary criticism emerged as a reaction against the role associated with print in the English Civil Wars of the 1640s.
William E Connolly's writings have pushed the leading edge of political theory, first in North America and then in Europe as well, for more than two decades. Drawn on his many books and articles, this book focuses on three key areas of his thinking: Democracy, Pluralism, and Terms of Political Theory.
Hunger and Health explores the multiple relationships between hunger and poor health, and how they affect the growth of individuals, physiologically and psychologically, constraining the development of nations both socially and economically. Examining the profound effect that hunger has on health, including disease prevention and treatment, it gives special attention to access to quality food and healthcare, in particular for the marginalized ...
Although surfaces are central to geographical analysis and geographical information systems, data is often not precise because of the uncertainty inherent in GIS and remote sensing data acquisition systems. This book presents methods to address such uncertainties within the framework of GIS. It defines the mathematics associated with each method, develops related algorithms, and illustrates various applications. The author has included the pse...
Discusses conditions of social class and the ways in which class is produced in educational institutions and families, while interrogating and challenging our understandings of social class as it is linked to race, gender, and nation.
Assesses sociological and cultural attempts to theorize the worlds of popular music production. This book offers and develops a theoretical matrix that illuminates these trends in a complex and instructive way.
Covers SiGe applications in the real world. This book presents an overview of the merits of SiGe for emerging wireless communication systems and techniques for improved LNA design. It covers topics including SiGe Millimeter-Wave ICs, wireless radio architecture, RF MEMS processing, and robust packaging techniques.
Highlights silicon-based heterostructure devices and divides them into four sections: SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), heterostructure FETs, other heterostructure devices, and optoelectronic components. This book covers topics including device physics, broadband noise, performance limits, reliability, and engineered substrates.
Focuses on the materials science aspects of silicon heterostructure. This book defines the various advances in the Si-SiGe strained-layer epitaxy for device applications. It covers modern SiGe epitaxial growth techniques, EPI defects and dopant diffusion in thin films, stability constraints, and electronic properties of SiGe and Si-C alloys.
Examines the promise and limitations for computer-assisted language learning of speech technologies: speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, and acoustic visualization. This text illustrates the uses of each technology for learning languages, problems entailed in their use, and solutions evolving in both technology and instructional design.
