intriguing ideas made plain
For those of us who cannot grasp the mathematical, technical version of Wiener's theory of messages in _Cybernetics_, this book is a wonderful stand-in. Wiener wrote this entirely equationless text as a populariztion of his ideas about humans and machines. this book is a fascinating piece of philosophy and sociology also, as Wiener expands his theories and brings them to bear on history, ...

Perfect for AFAST
I purchased this book to study for the AFAST exam. All the sections in this book mirror the fomrat of the AFAST. However, their were some slight differences: 1) The pictures in the Instrument Comprehension portion of the practice exam are extremely dated in comparison to the actual test. 2) The actual AFAST helicopter knowledge questions seemed too easy in comparison to the ARCO study ...

Conspiracy in the Streets: The Extraordinary Trial of the Chicago Eight

3 reviews

New Press, 2006

There is humor, there is tragedy
I wasn't expecting to laugh when I started reading, but I laughed at so many points. Not only the defendants' humor is hilarious at times, the prosecution almost never ceases to be ridiculous making a funny scene at times, and truly disturbing at others. Drawings are beautiful, and the cover itself sells the book I bet. Where each of the eight defendents ended up later in their lives was ...

A fundamental law that is applicable to almost everything
Two books, both written in the late 1940s stand out as contributing much to our understanding of the world around us. One of these is "Cybernetics" by Weiner and the other is "The mathematical theory of communication" by Shannon. Both require some study by contain many sections that are easily readable by anyone which get the main points across in an understandable manner. Weiner's book ...

Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, Brian Wilkerson, ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 1990

All-timer
When the book is more than 10 years old and still a required literature in the area, that really tells you a lot. Especially if the area is software engineering where things tend to change quickly. After more than 10 years this book is still a fundamental reading from OO design. Even IBM recommends this book for it's Object Oriented Programming exam. First several chapters are really classic - ...

This book saved my @ss!
If you are reading this, you are probably preparing for an ABIM internal medicine exam in addition to all your other duties. There is never enough time, is there? Well, I was preparing for the ABIM recertification exam, and it had been 10 years since I'd finished residency. I had slogged through the Mayo review book over the course of five months, dutifully going over every page. Tres painful. ...

Multithreading Applications in Win32: The Complete Guide to Threads (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology ...

22 reviews
Jim Beveridge, Robert Wiener

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1996

This material is still relevent, even when using .NET
This material is still relevent, even when using .NET. The discussion of Win32 multithreading transcends any particular development environment used with a Windows 32 bit environment. The key idea behind this book is getting correct, reproducible results with windows multithreaded applications. Multithreaded applications are very hard to get right and even harder to properly test. The author ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Wonderful addition to the home library...
As a homeschooling mother, this book has been a great addition to our home library. It's not one of those books that I spent money on just to have it sit on my bookshelf taking up precious space. The simple exercises and helpful ideas have become the backbone of our home writing program. This book is much less expensive than investing big money in a complete writing curriculum. The ideas in ...

It's the first step towards understanding the human impact in airline operations, be that pilots, cabin crew or ground crews. Far from being an expert in the field I think this work provides great background material, probably to ...
