Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion

Addison Wesley, 2008

Every day, billions of photographs, news stories, songs, X-rays, TV shows, phone calls, and emails are being scattered around the world as sequences of zeroes and ones: bits. We can’t escape this explosion of digital information and few of us want to–the benefits are too seductive. The technology has enabled unprecedented innovation,...

SQL and Relational Theory: How to Write Accurate SQL Code

O'Reilly, 2009

Understanding SQL's underlying theory is the best way to guarantee that your SQL code is correct and your database schema is robust and maintainable. On the other hand, if you're not well versed in the theory, you can fall into several traps. In SQL and Relational Theory, author C.J. Date demonstrates how you can apply relational theory...

Data Preparation for Data Mining (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Morgan Kaufmann, 1999

Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your...

Discrete Mathematics DeMYSTiFied

McGraw-Hill, 2008

In today’s world, analytical thinking is a critical part of any solid education. An important segment of this kind of reasoning—one that cuts across many disciplines—is discrete mathematics. Discrete math concerns counting, probability, (sophisticated forms of) addition, and limit processes over discrete sets. Combinatorics, graph...

Artificial Vision: Image Description, Recognition, and Communication (Signal Processing and its Applications)

Academic Press, 1996

Artificial vision is a rapidly growing discipline, aiming to build computational models of the visual capabilites in humans, as well as the machines that emulate them. Recent research work suggests that vision is a complex functionality, involving active sensing and attentional mechanisms, and is strictly related to cognitive processes like...

The Concept of Probability in Statistical Physics (Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction and Decision Theory)

Cambridge University Press, 1999

Probabilities have a puzzling character within the context of classical physics. Here, unlike in quantum mechanics, the use of probabilistic reasoning is not based on the existence of indeterminacy or objective lawlessness. Indeed, indeterminacy, in general, has no place in classical physics. In the very foundation of classical physics we find the...

On Law and Reason (Law and Philosophy Library)

Springer, 2008

This is an outline of a coherence theory of law. Its basic ideas are: reasonable support and weighing of reasons. All the rest is commentary.

These words at the beginning of the preface of this book perfectly indicate what On Law and Reason is about. It is a theory about the nature of the law which emphasises the role of reason in the law and...
