William Howard Taft

A Conservative's Conception of the Presidency

By: Donald F. Anderson

How a dedicated conservative perceived and used the powers of the presidency is here treated with authority, objectivity, and a dash of wit. The personal papers of William Howard Taft cast important new light on his aims and performance as chief executive. Making full use of the papers, Professor Anderson corrects previous studies of Taft that are either uncritical or unduly harsh, and offers instead a balanced and fair assessment. Taking a topical rather than a chronological approach to the Taft years, the author analyzes his accomplishments as party leader, administrator, legislator, leader of public opinion, and diplomat. The history of Taft's presidency, he concludes, illustrates many of the inherent strengths and weaknesses of a system of government that is reliant upon the will of the people for action and ultimate success. Comparing Taft with his eloquent and dynamic predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, Anderson contrasts both their views of presidential power and their political styles. Finally, he places Taft in a larger historical context—as an apostle of constitutional democracy who valued the rule of law more than majority rule.

Practical Handbook of Nutrition in Clinical Practice

By: Donald F. Kirby,Stanley J. Dudrick

The Practical Handbook of Nutrition in Clinical Practice is an excellent supplement to standard textbooks in nutrition support and a must-have reference for those with an interest in this area. The text reviews nutrition assessment techniques from the very basic to the latest research methods. The areas of malnutrition and refeeding are explored as are overnutrition and obesity. Enteral access techniques and enteral nutrition are expertly covered. The history and current practice of total parenteral nutrition are discussed by one of the modern-day developers of this lifesaving technique. The role of managed care in nutrition is a timely chapter with current health care reform in mind. Nutritional immunology, nutrition in renal disease, nutrition fraud and ethical issues in nutrition support, along with nutrition support in short bowel syndrome and the surgical patient, are all discussed in detail.

Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs

By: Donald G. Bailey

Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs Bridge the gap between software and hardware with this foundational design reference Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits designed so that configuration can take place. Circuits of this kind play an integral role in processing images, with FPGAs increasingly embedded in digital cameras and other devices that produce visual data outputs for subsequent realization and compression. These uses of FPGAs require specific design processes designed to mediate smoothly between hardware and processing algorithm. Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs provides a comprehensive overview of these processes and their applications in embedded image processing. Beginning with an overview of image processing and its core principles, this book discusses specific design and computation techniques, with a smooth progression from the foundations of the field to its advanced principles. Readers of the second edition of Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs will also find: Detailed discussion of image processing techniques including point operations, histogram operations, linear transformations, and more New chapters covering Deep Learning algorithms and Image and Video Coding Example applications throughout to ground principles and demonstrate techniques Design for Embedded Image Processing on FPGAs is ideal for engineers and academics working in the field of Image Processing, as well as graduate students studying Embedded Systems Engineering, Image Processing, Digital Design, and related fields.

Social Studies and Social Sciences

A Fifty-year Perspective

By: Stanley P. Wronski,Donald H. Bragaw

This publication documents the development of the social studies during the past 50 years. This collection of essays updates major trends in history, political science, sociology, economics, psychology, anthropology, and geography. Unlike two earlier collections, this book has an emphasis on the continuing problems, trends, and issues in both the social sciences and social studies and also contains a series of complementing essays describing developments in the teaching of the discipline areas at the elementary and secondary levels. Following an introduction by Donald H. Bragaw, 15 essays by different authors are presented: "Trials of Clio" (David D. Van Tassel); "From Monopoly to Dominance" (Paul Robinson and Joseph M. Kirman); "The Evolving Nature of Geography" (Salvatore J. Natoli); "Teaching and Learning in Geography" (Barbara J. Winston); "Political Science: Promise and Practice" (John G. Gunnell); "Civics and Government in Citizenship Education (James P. Shaver and Richard S. Knight); "In Search of Economic Ideals and Policies" (David D. VanHoose and William E. Becker, Jr.); "Promoting Economic Literacy" (Beverly J. Armento); "Sociology: From Theory to Social Action" (J. Ross Eshleman); "Teaching Sociology in K-12 Classrooms" (Thomas J. Switzer); "Coming of Age in Anthropology" (Roger C. Owen); "Trends in Precollegiate Anthropology" (Thomas L. Dynneson); "Psychology: Social Science, Natural Science, and Profession" (Michael Wertheimer and Others); "Teaching Psychology in High Schools" (John K. Bare); and "Looking Backward: 2035-1985" (Stanley P. Wronski). (KC)
