Birds of Africa South of the Sahara: A Comprehensive Illustrated Field Guide
Birds of Africa South of the Sahara provides unrivalled coverage of African birds in a single volume, and is the first book to describe and illustrate all of the birds found in Africa south of the Sahara Desert (the Afrotropic Region), including Socotra, Pemba and islands in the Gulf of Guinea. * Some 2,105 species are covered, with an additional 70 vagrants briefly described, and more than 2,000 images assembled on 359 plates. * Illustrations portray most distinctive plumages, as well as diagnostic flight patterns and major geographic variants. * Species descriptions give precise identification features, highlighting differences between similar species, as well as briefly reporting habitat, status and calls. * Distribution maps for each species are based on the latest atlas surveys. * The most up-to-date taxonomy is used, with many new species described and illustrated for the first time. Despite its exceptional coverage, this guide is compact enough to use in the field, and follows the standard field guide format, with texts and range maps appearing opposite the color plates..

Sub 4:00: Alan Webb and the Quest for the Fastest Mile
For more than three decades, not one American schoolboy had run a sub-4:00 mile. Then, in January 2001, Alan Webb clocked a 3:59.86 mile, the fastest indoor U.S. high school mile ever. Just a few months later, the young track star achieved legendary status: he ran a 3:53.46 mile-a full 2 seconds faster than former record holder Jim Ryun. Everywhere Webb was hailed as "America's Next Great Miler." In Sub 4:00, noted track writer Chris Lear follows Webb to college at the University of Michigan. As we witness Webb's freshman track season-watching him struggle with injuries, interpersonal conflicts, the politics of the collegiate track world, and his own aspirations to become the best miler ever-we get an unprecedented behind-the-scenes view of the life of one of the nation's most promising track athletes with a new chapter describing the latest developments in Webb's fascinating career. .

FPGA-Based System Design (Prentice Hall Modern Semiconductor Design Series' Sub Series: PH Signal Integrity Library)
This book describes all aspects of digital system design using FPGAs. FPGA Based System Design describes techniques for combinational and sequential logic design and how classical logic design techniques relate to FPGA-based logic design. It also describes the design of complex FPGA-based system such as platform FPGA-based design and multi-FPGA systems. IEEE fellow Wayne Wolf also demonstrates how VLSI characteristics affect the properties of FPGAs and FPGA-based logic design. This book also provides a thorough introduction to FPGAs for those interested in the VLSI aspects of FPGA systems..
