Ralph Kimball's The Data Warehouse Toolkit translates the author's extensive real-world design experience into a truly useful guide to building data warehouses for today's corporations. Written in a no-nonsense prose style, the author gives developers and managers the basics of designing, building, and running data warehouses that are effective and useful to upper management.

This book begins with the fundamentals of what data warehouses are and how they differ from traditional databases used in online transaction processing (OLTP). (Basically, data warehouses look at trends in millions of database records drawn from across organizations.) Once the author establishes this foundation, he solidly introduces the issues of data-warehouse design, using samples drawn from a wide variety of industries, including grocery stores, inventory warehouses, shipping, financial services, cable TV subscriptions, insurance, and travel. The author succinctly describes the relevant "dimensions" of each industry. (These are the values or features that management will most likely want to track for each industry. The data warehouse must be prepared to answer these "questions.")

The last section of the book covers the process of actually designing a data warehouse, from conducting user interviews to planning for the hardware needed to run a data warehouse (where databases easily run in gigabytes and include millions of records). This text also includes a discussion of how to create effective front ends for users (which will report the results of data-warehouse queries).

For its scope and intelligence, The Data Warehouse Toolkit is required reading for any developer or manager who wants to get a perspective on data warehouses before building one. --Richard Dragan.

A comprehensive introduction to the principles, issues, and uses of two-dimensional design

In Introduction to Two-Dimensional Design, respected designer and educator John Bowers provides a solid foundation in timeless design principles that are immune to fads and trends. With the help of more than 160 revealing illustrations, he explores both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of 2D design, interweaving historical accounts with penetrating analyses of visual principles and issues found in important contemporary examples. He demonstrates how competing approaches to 2D design--including those based on intuition, play, chance, and empirical research--can be used successfully, either alone or in combination.

An excellent book for foundation design courses and a valuable working resource for artists and design professionals, Introduction to Two-Dimensional Design:
* Integrates applications from fine art, graphic design, architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as from nature and the vernacular landscape
* Covers the latest design technology, including video, Web design, and interactive media
* Features examples in context that provide the basis for methodical explanations of processes and outcomes.

This classic textbook for all users of NMR spectroscopy shows the basics of this technique and how to interpret the spectra. Covering the material taught in graduate courses, this text provides both students and professionals with a lucid introduction, thoroughly explaining the underlying theory but with a minimum of mathematics. Written by an NMR expert with long-standing teaching experience, this thoroughly enlarged and updated fourth edition includes
- polymer solid state NMR
- analysis of biopolymers
- applications of magnetic resonance tomography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
With its layout and illustrations designed for maximum clarity, this is a must for students and lecturers in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, as well as spectroscopists.

From reviews of previous editions:

This book deserves much praise... The book forms an excellent bridge between the very simple texts on spectral interpreataion and more specialist works with an emphasis on mathematical theory... The many diagrams are clear and of high quality, and the examples of NMR spectra throughout the book are well chosen. This book is highly educational and will be of benefit to those who have to teach NMr and to students and scientists in academic and industrial laboratories who use NMR spectroscopy.
NMR in Biomedicine

'This is an excellent book ... we have been using the first edition of the book in our graduate course in NMR for three years and have been very pleased with it. My opinion is that someone who began knowing nothing about NMR could become quite proficient at structure determination by simply mastering the contents of this book. I highly recommend it.'
Journal of the American Chemical Society.

'Almost every course in chemistry and biochemistry nowadays has some NMR component, and the student's interest depends on how the material is delivered. This book is a pleasure to read and if it does not arouse the student's interest, then it is difficult to see what could. It is clearly written and illustrated, with a near perfect balance of mathematics and text.'
