Code

The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software

By: Charles Petzold

What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new means of communicating with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity and our very human compulsion to communicate have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries. Using everyday objects and familiar language systems such as Braille and Morse code, author Charles Petzold weaves an illuminating narrative for anyone who’s ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines. It’s a cleverly illustrated and eminently comprehensible story—and along the way, you’ll discover you’ve gained a real context for understanding today’s world of PCs, digital media, and the Internet. No matter what your level of technical savvy, CODE will charm you—and perhaps even awaken the technophile within.

Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms, Preview Edition

By: Charles Petzold

Written by programming legend Charles Petzold and created jointly by Microsoft Press and Xamarin Inc., this Preview Edition ebook is about writing applications for Xamarin.Forms, the new mobile development platform for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone unveiled by Xamarin in May 2014. Xamarin.Forms lets you write shared user-interface code in C# and XAML (the eXtensible Application Markup Language) that maps to native controls on these three platforms. (The final edition of this ebook will be published in the spring of 2015.) This ebook is for C# programmers who want to write applications for the three most popular mobile platforms—iOS, Android, and Windows Phone—with a single code base. Xamarin.Forms also has applicability for those programmers who want eventually to use C# and the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android libraries to target the native application programming interfaces (APIs) of these platforms. Xamarin.Forms can be a big help in getting started with these platforms or in constructing a prototype or proof-of-concept application. This ebook assumes that you know C# and have some familiarity with the use of the .NET Framework. However, when it describes some C# and .NET features that might be somewhat new to recent C# programmers, the ebook adopts a somewhat slower pace. In particular, the introduction of the async keyword and await operator in Chapter 3 follows a discussion that shows how to do asynchronous programming using traditional callback methods.

The Margin of Appreciation Doctrine in the Dynamics of European Human Rights Jurisprudence

By: Howard Charles Yourow

The Margin of Appreciation Doctrine in the Dynamics of European Human Rights Jurisprudence is the first full-length monograph to treat this subject, which is of central importance to the interpretation and application of the European Convention on Human Rights. It will enrich the understanding and appreciation of judges, advocates, civil servants, scholars, researchers, students, and indeed of anyone whose life and work is affected by national and international human rights adjudication. This thorough and learned analysis synthesizes the work of the Strasbourg judicial organs, proceeding in the light of the ongoing debates on the appropriate place of the margin doctrine in the Strasbourg jurisprudence. The author's rich conclusions add texture and perspective to the future judicial and scholarly dialogues which will no doubt continue to surround this subject matter. The text is eminently readable, written in a clear and precise style to be appreciated by the novice and specialist alike. The newcomer to human rights and to the Convention will find it an inviting introduction to complex material; the expert will gain new and expanded insights into the development of the case law rarely to be found in this breadth and depth.

The British Arboretum

Trees, Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century

By: Paul A. Elliott,Charles Watkins,Stephen Daniels

This study explores the science and culture of nineteenth-century British arboretums, or tree collections. The development of arboretums was fostered by a variety of factors, each of which is explored in detail: global trade and exploration, the popularity of collecting, the significance to the British economy and society, developments in Enlightenment science, changes in landscape gardening aesthetics and agricultural and horticultural improvement. Arboretums were idealized as microcosms of nature, miniature encapsulations of the globe and as living museums. This book critically examines different kinds of arboretum in order to understand the changing practical, scientific, aesthetic and pedagogical principles that underpinned their design, display and the way in which they were viewed. It is the first study of its kind and fills a gap in the literature on Victorian science and culture.

Heidegger, Dilthey, and the Crisis of Historicism

Heidegger, Dilthey, and the Crisis of Historicism

By: Charles R. Bambach

The collapse of historicism was not merely the demise of an academic tradition but signified a shift in the understanding of hermeneutics and metaphysics. Whereas earlier books have explored the rise and dominance of historicism within academic history, this is the first to trace its collapse and to show how it was shaped by larger philosophical and scientific concerns. Charles R. Bambach's lucid account of the demise of historicism within the context of German metaphysics provides a rich new perspective on the development of the young Heidegger's concept of "historicity" and on the origins of postmodern thought. Bambach reconstructs the methodological debates arising from a pervasive sense of crisis among German philosophers in the late nineteenth century. He details the divergent attempts by the Neo-Kantians, Nietzsche, and Dilthey to overcome the limitations of historical relativism. Heidegger's view of "historicity," Bambach shows, radically transforms the problematic of historicism into a discourse concerning the crisis of philosophical modernity.

Hidden Fields, Book 4

Selected and Collected Poems from 1981-2007

By: Dr. Charles Ford

In Hidden Fields, Book 4, author Charles gets a chance to share his feelings and thoughts in a personal way. He presents themes of Friends, Friendships, Romance, and Love with respects to choices. Charles writes in the spirit of poetry from his heart revealing his experiences one after another in great detail. He was inspired by his everyday experiences from lessons he had learned and lived, too. Many of these experiences, their lessons, were not always clear and evidential, some were after the fact; nonetheless, he gained a wealth of knowledge about others and himself. In hindsight, he believes that human beings are all evolving and unfolding in their own uniqueness, genetic make-up, from experience to experience, lesson to lesson, and realization to realization. All human beings are gifted, and blessed to have volition to make better choices in their lives. Charles believed that soon like himself, that human beings will reach for more insightfulness in their choices; thus, to grasp some sense of wisdom within the best of their choices. For Charles, choices continue to have a profound effect on his life as he faces himself in the light of the unknown and progressive future.

Unraveling Cancer

Cancer Prevention Even After Diagnosis

By: Charles Lewis, MD MPH

Unraveling Cancer describes the forces that cause cancer development and outlines a framework for understanding how, in health, the body is able to eliminate cells that have cancer-causing mutations. This book describes how lifestyle habits can interfere with these protective mechanisms, and explains how we can most effectively modify our habits and greatly lower the risk of developing cancer. The same forces that cause cancer also promote its growth and transition into an aggressive, metastatic disease. Making lifestyle and dietary changes even after a cancer diagnosis can reduce cancer growth, enhance treatment, and help prevent recurrence.Unraveling Cancer focuses on modifiable risk factors that can promote or help prevent cancer, even for persons with a high genetic risk of disease, such as women with BRCA mutations. These modifiable risk factors include foods and their preparation methods which impact cancer risk. This book describes better ways of preparing foods that provide for better health and lower cancer risk. The book explains which types of exercise are effective and those that do not lower cancer risk. It provides strategies to lower cancer risk, even if one is unable to exercise. Some cancer risk factors have their greatest impact during growth, and Unraveling Cancer explains how we can protect our children and grandchildren now from developing cancer as adults.Unraveling Cancer instructs not only how to prevent cancer, but to slow its advancement and make chemo and other treatments more effective. The book describes how to prepare for chemo to make it more effective in killing cancer cells, less toxic, and have fewer and less intense side effects. The book provides hope for cancer patients and their loved ones by giving them ways to enhance treatment and empowering them to participate in improving their health.

The Hitler Filmography

Worldwide Feature Film and Television Miniseries Portrayals, 1940 through 2000

By: Charles P. Mitchell

From the time his Nazi regime launched World War II to the present, Adolf Hitler has frequently been depicted on film. He was largely ridiculed at first, since laughter was a powerful weapon and morale booster for nations at war. Later representations were more somber and realistic, yet Hitler's image never escaped the undertone of scorn. This book concentrates exclusively on portrayals of Hitler in feature films and television miniseries. The filmography covers films with a factual historical storyline, fictional stories, alternate histories, parodies and films where actors playing Hitler have a cameo. Each entry provides production credits, an annotated cast list, an analysis and synopsis of the film, an evaluation of the actor playing Hitler in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of his portrayal, and representative quotations from the film.

A Companion to Giles of Rome

By: Charles Briggs,Peter Eardley

In A Companion to Giles of Rome, Charles Briggs, Peter Eardley, and seven other leading specialists provide the first synoptic treatment of the thought, works, life, and legacy of Giles of Rome (c. 1243/7–1316), one of medieval Europe’s most important and influential scholastic philosophers and theologians. The Giles that emerges from this volume was a subtle and independent thinker, who more than refining and modifying the positions of his teacher Aquinas, also made strikingly original contributions to theology, physics, metaphysics, psychology, ethics, logic, rhetoric, and political thought. He was also the founding intellectual of the Augustinian friars and a key participant in controversies at the University of Paris, and between Church and State. Contributors are: Charles F. Briggs, Richard Cross, Silvia Donati, Peter S. Eardley, Roberto Lambertini, Costantino Marmo, Martin Pickavé, Giorgio Pini, and Cecilia Trifogli.

Art Nouveau

By: Victoria Charles

Ever since its triumph at the Paris Universal Exposition, Art Nouveau has continued to inspire artists. The movement offered an artistic response to the industrial revolution and the creative vacuum left in its wake, exerting a huge impact on the decorative arts. Art Nouveau spans all forms of expression – including design, painting and architecture – and covers artists such as Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Antoni Gaudí, Jan Toorop, and William Morris.

Alphonse Mucha

By: Patrick Bade,Victoria Charles

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Alphonse Mucha

By: Patrick Bade,Victoria Charles

Born in 1860 in a small Czech town, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau, the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s, marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms, and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact, Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the “Mucha style” for the legions of imitators who adapted the master’s celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between. Patrick Bade and Victoria Charles offer readers an inspiring survey of Mucha’s career, illustrated with over one hundred lustrous images, from early Parisian advertisements and posters for Sandra Bernhardt, to the famous historical murals painted just before his death, at the age of 78, in 1939.
