Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies

$170.4

In the deep sub-micron regime, the power consumption has become one of the most important issues for competitive design of digital circuits. Due to dramatically increasing leakage currents, the power consumption does not take advantage of technology scaling as before. State-of-art power reduction techniques like the use of multiple supply and threshold voltages, transistor stack forcing and power gating are discussed with respect to implementation and power saving capability. Focus is given especially on technology dependencies, process variations and technology scaling. Design and implementation issues are discussed with respect to the trade-off between power reduction, performance degradation, and system level constraints. A complete top-down design flow is demonstrated for power gating techniques introducing new design methodologies for the switch sizing task and circuit blocks for data-retention and block activation. The leakage reduction ratio and the minimum power-down time are introduced as figures of merit to describe the power gating technique on system level and give a relation to physical circuit parameters. Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies mainly deals with circuit design but also addresses the interface between circuit and system level design on the one side and between circuit and physical design on the other side.

11.11.11

$67.47

Daxton Riley, a stop-at-nothing fearless CIA agent, has been called in to fight the United States’ most deadly attack by terrorists. It is just ten days until Veteran’s Day on November 11, 2011, and Washington is honoring the men and women who have fought in all wars in the history of the United States. Despite all the buzz going on, Daxton Riley senses the trouble the nation is about to face if he doesn’t stop it. All the CIA intelligence has pointed to a rip-roaring terrorist attack on our homeland, and it’s up to Riley to stop them. Daxton leaves immediately for the Middle East, where he leads a Special Forces crew on a raid in a small town. Their main target is al Qaeda, as that is where most of the intelligence chatter is coming from. They discover maps, notes, computers, files, passports and airline tickets. Some of the most disturbing were eleven bills of lading for eleven different cities that point to a major nuke attack on the United States. Daxton quickly relays the information he has discovered back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear team scurries to the scene. By the end of the next day, all the bombs had been located and disarmed, stopping the immediate danger. Or had they?

1989 the Berlin Wall

$41.12

Capturing the zeitgeist of the Soviet era, journalist Peter Millar recounts his experiences reporting on the collapse of the Berlin Wall, when he was trapped in Checkpoint Charlie between bemused East German border guards and drunk Western revelers prematurely celebrating the end of an era. Having lived in East Berlin and even Moscow, Millar took a wild journey into the heart of cold war Europe and chronicled the fall not only of the Soviet Union but of Communism as well. From the hitchhiking trip that helped him discover a secret path into a career in journalism and the carousing bars of Fleet Street in the 1970s to the East Berlin corner pub with its eclectic cast of customers who taught him the truth about living on the wrong side of the Wall, this autobiography provides detailed insight into the domino effect that swept through Eastern Europe and how the author felt as he opened his Stasi files to discover which of his friends had actually been spying on him.

42 Up

$13.44

Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man. Starting in 1964 with Seven Up, director Michael Apted (Coal Miner’s Daughter, Nell, Gorillas In The Mist) has explored this Jesuit maxim. The original concept was to interview 14 children from diverse backgrounds from all over England, asking them about their lives and their dreams for the future. Every seven years, Apted has been back to talk to the same subjects, examining the progression of their lives. From cab driver Tony to East End schoolmates Jackie, Lynn and Susan and the heart-breaking Neil, we see, halfway through their lives, how close these subjects are to realizing their ambitions. An extraordinary look at the structure of life in the 20th century, the Up series is, according to Roger Ebert, an inspired, almost noble use of the film medium. Apted penetrates to the central mystery of life.

A Dove Of The East

$14

The twenty stories here, many of which first appeared in The New Yorker and have since been anthologized throughout the world, are strikingly beautiful essays on enduring and universal questions: In Rome, in the hour of his death, and American priest must choose between his Church and his God. An Israeli scout risks the safety and respect of his comrades in an act of transfiguring gentleness and charity. In a hot, dirty typewriter ribbon factory in the Bronx, a young man finds love. A Dutch child in a Canadian orphanage carries in her heart, her love for her parents and the pain of war. A soldier is overpowered by his days of burying the dead. A Sicilian widow meditates on the end of her family line. These twenty stories are strikingly beautiful pieces on enduring, universal questions by a writer the San Francisco Review of Books calls a master crafter of the short story.

A Great Civil War

$7.11

A Great Civil War is a substantial new interpretation of the events which continue to dominate the American imagination and identity nearly 150 years after the war’s end. In personal as well as historical terms, even more than the war for independence, the Civil War has been the defining experience of American democracy. A lifelong student of military strategy and tactics, Russell F. Weigley brings to his account a deep understanding of the importance of individuals from generals to captains to privates. He puts the reader, as well as anyone who has written about war, on the battlefield. All the important engagements are covered: Fort Sumter, the early clashes in the West and border states, the naval encounters in the East, and the great and horrible battles whose names resound in American history — Shiloh, Corinth, Bull Run, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Antietam, Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Petersburg Appomattox. A brilliant narrator of battle action and historical events, Weigley is never content merely to tell a good story. Every student of war will find new insights and interpretations at the strategic and the tactical level. A Great Civil War also analyzes the politics of each side in relationship to battlefield situations and makes firm judgments about the leaders on both sides of the conflict. Weigley is unique in his ability to put all the pieces on the board at once; the reader understands as never before how war and politics (and individuals) interacted in this infinitely complex story.

Writer/photographer Paul Sullivan gives the inside scoop on what to see and what to avoid, and each venue is accompanied by a color photograph.

A Military History of Britain: From 1775 to the Present

$11.91

Black begins by setting the background to British military history, in particular the anti-(large) army ideology, the maritime tradition, and the growing geo-political rivalry with France. After the defeat of the French in North America, Britain would become the world’s leading maritime power. The 19th Century would see tension between Britain and the new United States, France, Germany, and an increasing emphasis on imperial conquests. Organized in three parts: Britain as Imperial Parent; Britain as Imperial Rival; and Britain as Imperial Partner. A primary focus of this account will be the 20th century, examining Britain and World War I (including Britain as a world power and issues of imperial overstretch) and World War II (and the subsequent wars of Imperial Retention in Malaya, Kenya, and Cyprus). As in all of his writing, Black seeks to challenge conventional assumptions, and offer illuminating new perspectives. Black details the involvement of Britain in global affairs up to the present. Recent issues of continuing importance include Britain as a nuclear power, the end of the East of Suez policy, NATO membership; out-of-area conflict (from the Falklands to Iraq), and the adjustment to new global roles. This wide-ranging and broadly-based account is designed for students and for the general reader.

A Sephardi Life in Southeastern Europe

$28.55

Autobiographical texts are rare in the Sephardi world. Gabriel Arie’s writings provide a special perspective on the political, economic, and cultural changes undergone by the Eastern Sephardi community in the decades before its dissolution, in regions where it had been constituted since the expulsion from Spain in 1492. His history is a fascinating memoir of the Sephardi and Levantine bourgeoisie of the time. For his entire life, Arie – teacher, historian, community leader and businessman – was caught between East and West. Born in a small provincial town in Ottoman Bulgaria in 1863, he witnessed the disappearance of a social and political order that had lasted for centuries and its replacement by new ideas and new ways of life, which would irreversibly transform Jewish existence. A Sephardi Life in Southeastern Europe publishes in full the autobiography (covering the years 1863-1906) and journal (1906-39) of Gabriel Arie, along with selections from his letters to the Alliance Israelite Universelle. An introduction by Esther Benbassa and Aron Rodrigue analyzes his life and examines the general and the Jewish contexts of the Levant at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries.

Alexander and the East: The Tragedy of Triumph

$104.49

In this study Brian Bosworth looks at the critical period between 329 and 325 BC, when Alexander the Great was active in Central Asia and what is now Pakistan. He documents Alexander’s relations with the peoples he conquered, and addresses the question of what it meant to be on the receiving end of the conquest, drawing a bleak picture of massacre and repression. At the same time Alexander’s views of empire are investigated, his attitude to his subjects, and the development of his concepts of personal divinity and universal monarchy. Analogies are thus drawn with the Spanish conquest of Mexico, which has a comparable historiographical tradition and parallels many of Alexander’s dealings with his subjects. Although of concern to the specialist, this book is equally directed at the general reader interested in the history of Alexander and the morality of empire.

Alias Jack the Ripper: Beyond the Usual Whitechapel Suspects

$89.91

Over a century ago, a depraved killer skillfully moved through the dark and filthy slums of London’s East End. Despite the increasingly watchful eyes of investigators, the serial murderer–known as Jack the Ripper from a signature on a piece of correspondence that has been attributed to him–was never certainly identified. R. Michael Gordon provides a comprehensive look at the crimes and the case evidence, and then discusses the life of the man he believes was the actual killer, detailing the reasons why this person may have been driven to kill. Beginning with an overview of the terror created in the East End of 1888, the book describes the five major periods of the Ripper’s deadly career: early life and schooling; a step-by-step view of the murders, including the Thames Torso Murders that authorities attempted to cover up; the Ripper’s American connection; a return to London where his final victims were su

Amagansett

$11.99

Amagansett is a novel as sweeping and haunting as the landscape of sky and sea it evokes. Beautifully and powerfully told, it announces the arrival of a gifted writer who skillfully weaves together a delicate love story, a brutal murder, an unforgettable evocation of a place and time, and characters shaped by the epic forces of nature, class, war, and memory. Conrad Labarde is a first-generation Basque fisherman who casts his nets in the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Living alone among the high dunes on the east end of Long Island, he is kept company only by the ghosts of war. He is a working-class man in a region sharply divided between those who farm and fish this isolated finger of land year-round, and the wealthy, who claim it every summer for seaside escape. But in postwar America, the landscape is changing quickly. And lives, too, will change dramatically when Conrad’s nets pull in the body of a beautiful young woman, seaweed twined in her hair. Deputy Chief of Police Tom Hollis must traverse the shoals of class and community in order to determine if a crime has been committed and, if so, by whom. From the privileged family whose dead daughter was hiding a torturous secret, to the determined cop who seeks the truth, to the fisherman who is always one step ahead of him–they, and everyone else in Amagansett–will be touched by that the waves cast up that day.

Aphrodite

$2.54

It looked for all the world like a terrible, tragic accident. Susanna Morgan had gotten up in the middle of the night, tripped, fallen, and broken her neck. Yet when detective Justin Westwood inspects the victim’s apartment, he can’t help noticing that the details don’t quite add up. The glass on the bedside table is knocked over but there are no cuts on her body. The scrape on her knee looks suspiciously fresh. And then a terrified witness comes forward, confirming his worst fear. This is no accident. This is murder. Justin Westwood moved to East End Harbor to escape a dark, disturbing past, and to lead a quiet life. He had retreated from reality by taking a menial post with a small-town Long Island police department, drowning his troubles in mindless traffic duty and lots of booze. Now his dormant professionalism is awakened after Susanna’s brutal murder. This is just the kind of reality check that Justin needs, and he will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this madness – to find the meaning of the mysterious Aphrodite – and maybe save himself in the process.
