This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design, FMCAD 2000, held in Austin, Texas in November 2000. The 30 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. All current issues of research and development approaches based on formal methods for the design and analysis of systems are addressed. Among the topics covered are formal verification, formal specification, systems analysis, program analysis, model checking, automated modeling, program semantics, theorem proving, symbolic simulation, and transition systems.
Warren stumbled into a life of bird hunting. As a Westerner it took years for him to realize that shotguns and the birds one hunts with them were serious pursuits. Somewhere along the way he realized that he'd taken most of North America's native grouse. With the addition of Maggie, the Gordon setter, to his life, the pursuit of the Grouse Grand Slam seemed possible. The book includes the mutual training of each other and the graduation of a bird hunting puppy into a true bird dog along with Warren's realization that the dog, too, was as dedicated to the hunt as he was. These stories of man, and of dog and man, cover western North America from places as different as Fairbanks, Alaska is from Fort Riley, Kansas, as British Columbia is from Arizona. Laugh with the dog that won't tolerate the waste of time for the first cup of coffee in the morning and cry when two people shoot at the same bird. Consider the interplay of planning and sheer dumb luck in both the training of the dog and the happenings of the hunt. Whether you've been there yourself or haven't ever hunted beyond the outskirts of town, this book has something for you to enjoy.
The Hunter's Game reveals that early wildlife conservation was driven not by heroic idealism, but by the interests of recreational hunters and the tourist industry. As American wildlife populations declined at the end of the nineteenth century, elite, urban sportsmen began to lobby for game laws that would restrict the customary hunting practices of immigrants, Indians, and other local hunters.
