Markets and States in Tropical Africa: The Political Basis of Agricultural Policies (California Series on Social Choice and Political Economy)
Most Africans live in rural areas and derive their incomes from farming; but because African governments follow policies that are adverse to most farmers' interests, these countries fail to produce enough food to feed their populations. Markets and States in Tropical Africa analyzes these and other paradoxical features of development in modern Africa and explores how governments have intervened and diverted resources from farmers to other sectors of society. A classic of the field since its publication in 1981, this edition includes a new preface by the author..

Jitter, Noise, and Signal Integrity at High-Speed (Prentice Hall Modern Semiconductor Design Series' Sub Series: PH Signal Integrity Library)

State-of-the-art JNB and SI Problem-Solving: Theory, Analysis, Methods, and Applications

Jitter, noise, and bit error (JNB) and signal integrity (SI) have become today‘s greatest challenges in high-speed digital design. Now, there’s a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to overcoming these challenges, direct from Dr. Mike Peng Li, cochair of the PCI Express jitter standard committee.

One of the field’s most respected experts, Li has brought together the latest theory, analysis, methods, and practical applications, demonstrating how to solve difficult JNB and SI problems in both link components and complete systems. Li introduces the fundamental terminology, definitions, and concepts associated with JNB and SI, as well as their sources and root causes. He guides readers from basic math, statistics, circuit and system models all the way through final applications. Emphasizing clock and serial data communications applications, he covers JNB and SI simulation, modeling, diagnostics, debugging, compliance testing, and much more.

Coverage includes 

  • JNB component classification, interrelationships, measurement references, and transfer functions
  • Statistical techniques and signal processing theory for quantitatively understanding and modeling JNB and related components
  • Jitter, noise, and BER: physical/mathematical foundations and statistical signal processing views
  • Jitter separation methods in statistical distribution, time, and frequency domains
  • Clock jitter in detail: phase, period, and cycle-to-cycle jitter, and key interrelationships among them
  • PLL jitter in clock generation and clock recovery
  • Jitter, noise, and SI mechanisms in high-speed link systems
  • Quantitative modeling and analysis for jitter, noise, and SI
  • Testing requirements and methods for links and systems
  • Emerging trends in high-speed JNB and SI

As data rates continue to accelerate, engineers encounter increasingly complex JNB and SI problems. In Jitter, Noise, and Signal Integrity at High-Speed, Dr. Li provides powerful new tools for solving these problems–quickly, efficiently, and reliably.

Africa South of the Sahara, Second Edition: A Geographical Interpretation (Guilford Texts in Regional Geography Series, The)
Now in an extensively revised and expanded second edition, this authoritative text provides a broad introduction to the geography of this rapidly changing region. Exploring contemporary issues without losing sight of their historical roots, the volume analyzes the sociocultural, political, economic, and environmental processes that shape resource use and development in Africa south of the Sahara. Students gain a balanced view of the continent's trials and triumphs-from postcolonial political strife and the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS to current progress toward democratization and sustainable growth.

The Second Edition
Updated throughout and featuring extensive new material, the second edition includes expanded coverage of physical geography and new chapters on water resources, the social geography of African children, and Western perceptions of the continent. The latest available data is reflected in numerous maps, tables, and figures; new and revised case studies; and helpful resource listings, now with key websites.

Cause of Death
Patricia Cornwell's heroine Dr. Kay Scarpetta is back; this time to solve the mystery of the death of an Associated Press reporter who was killed while nosing about in a decommissioned navy yard. Scarpetta's involvement in the case leads her to be targeted for murder herself by a nasty little neo-fascist cult with delusions of grandeur that include a plan to "kill and maim, frighten, brainwash and torture" all who oppose their plan to rule the world. Helping Scarpetta is her niece Lucy, an F.B.I. agent whose computer expertise leads to a heart-stopping journey into cyberspace. .
