Editorial Reviews Product Description Author, Bill Harris, takes you on a fascinating journey of discovery through the structure and workings of the human mind. He then presents irrefutable, hard scientific evidence of the powerful benefits of meditation and explains how and why the human brain reacts the way it does. Bill cites research from a host of highly acclaimed scientists (including two Nobel Laureates), from respected institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Princeton, MIT, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, University of California Medical School, UCLA, The Menninger Foundation, Marie Curie Cancer Memorial Foundation Research Department, and more. But, more importantly, he presents this valuable information in an easy to understand, easy to apply manner, which allows even the casual reader to benefit significantly from this important new book. Proving the scientific benefits of deep meditation is just the beginning. Harris then shows readers how they don't have to invest years or decades practicing traditional meditation before they reap any significant benefits. He goes on to describe how anyone can use Holosync , a proprietary audio technology developed by Centerpointe Research Institute (of which he is Director), to immediately achieve a deeper meditative state than is typically reached by masters of the traditional practice. This leads to a dramatic acceleration of mental, emotional, and spiritual change. In Thresholds of the Mind you will learn... The true science showing how and why meditation is the ultimate personal growth technique... Why traditional meditation is such a slow process, and how you can get the benefits of decades of deep meditation in a fraction of the time... The scientific principles governing mental, emotional, and spiritual change, and how you can use this information to greatly accelerate your growth... Nine Principles which, if mastered, can change your life forever, leading to increased success, lasting happiness, and inner peace... How to allow positive--without resistance and discomfort... About the Author Bill Harris has been involved in personal development for over twenty-five years as a seeker, teacher, public speaker, author, musician, composer, therapist, workshop leader, and business owner. A student of ancient and modern research into the nature of the mind, he has studied and practiced a variety of traditional and modern transformational techniques and approaches with a variety of teachers. A graduate of Portland State University, Bill also has done three years of graduate study in music, studying with world-renowned Czech composer Tomas Svoboda and also with Spanish composer Salvador Brotons. He is a Certified Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming and is also trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis. He is a long time student of contemporary psychology, quantum mechanical physics, the evolution of non-linear systems (chaos theory) and the effects of a wide range of neurotechnologies on human change, evolution and healing. He has participated in a wide range of ancient as well as contemporary methods of personal development and growth. He is known for his ability to explain difficult subjects in a way that makes them easy to understand. Bill is frequently invited to present at scientific forums and conferences across the U.S., and over the years has taught a wide range of workshops and seminars. He currently is president and Director of Centerpointe Research Institute. In the past he has conducted his own private therapy practice utilizing cognitive therapies and Neuro Linguistic Programming. After five years of personal experimentation and study, Bill started Centerpointe Research Institute in 1989 with borrowed recording equipment set up on his kitchen table. Since then, Centerpointe has grown to include over a hundred thousand participants in 172 countries on six continents. In his role as Director of Centerpointe Research Institute, Bill is the creator of The End Personal Growth Through Technology program. This on-going personal Paperback 8.9 x 6 x 0.6 inches

Joel Murach: Murach's C# 2008: Programming C/ C++/ C# Shroff Publishers & Distributors Pvt. Ltd.

New This is the latest edition of our best-selling C# book. The content continues to evolve with the language, of course, but one thing has stayed the same over the years: We still call this "the C# book you'll wish you'd bought first" because it gets you developing professional Windows Forms applications without any wasted time or effort. Why we say this is the C# book you'll wish you'd bought first #1: A FAST start, coupled with Visual Studio productivity This book starts you off using all the best features of Visual Studio 2008 so you can begin productive work almost immediately. In fact, it has you create a simple business application in chapters 2 and 3 so you can see right away how the core features of C# and of Visual Studio work. Download these chapters for free, and see for yourself. #2: Object-oriented programming made clear When it comes to object-oriented programming, too many C# books resort to whimsical but useless metaphors, like illustrating objects by creating animal classes such as mammals, cats, and dogs. Then they leave it up to you to figure out how to transfer these concepts to business applications. In contrast, we present business objects such as customers, invoices, and products so you can see how OOP is used to create multi-tiered applications in the real world. #3: Confidence in handling business requirements Learning to use C# classes and OOP techniques isn't enough. You also have to know how to code for the tasks that are required in most business applications. So this book builds on your skills in incremental steps to teach you how to validate data, handle numeric, date, and string data, work with loops, arrays, and collections, code methods and event handlers, handle exceptions, and work with text, binary, and XML data. #4: A solid grounding in database programming You can't create business applications without handling databases. So this book teaches you how to use C# 2008's tools for rapid application development, like the data sources feature and data handling controls. It also includes introductions to ADO.NET coding and to LINQ, a 2008 feature that lets you query almost any data source not just databases using the C# language. Powerful stuff that's glossed over in a chapter or two in most other C# books. #5: No side-stepping of business requirements This book presents complete, non-trivial applications that illustrate what you need to know on the job. Studying applications like these is the key to mastering C# development, but you won't find them in many other C# books. #6: Practice exercises solidify your skills The exercises at the end of each chapter let you apply what you've learned, giving you valuable, hands-on experience. And because we provide the starting points for these exercises here at our site, you get the maximum amount of practice in a minimum of time. #7: Paired pages make learning a breeze If you haven't ever used one of our books before, you may want to download a sample chapter before you buy. If you do, you'll discover why programmers are so impressed by our "paired pages" format and why college students ask their instructors for Murach books. Not only does this format make learning easier and faster, but it also makes this the ideal reference book when you're on the job. #8: 100% guarantee Like all our books, this one is backed by our 90-day trial period and 100% guarantee. It must teach you C# 2008 the way the best professionals use it, or send it back for a prompt refund. So please don't delay. Get your copy, and let this book turn you into a top C# developer starting today! ISBN - 9788184045161

Bernard P. Zeigler: Objects and Systems Principled Design with Implementations in C++ and Java, Springer New York,Mrz 1997 ISBN: 0387947817
The author's aim in this textbook is to provide students with a clear understanding of the relationship between the principles of object-oriented programming and software engineering. Professor Zeigler takes an approach based on state representation to formal specification. Consequently, this book is unique through its - emphasis on formulating primitives from which all other functionality can be built; - integral use of a semi-formal behaviour specification language based on state transition concepts; -differentiation between behaviour and implementation; -a reusable heterogeneous container class library; -ability to show the elegance and power of ensemble methods with non-trivial examples. As a result, students studying software engineering will find this a distinctive and valuable approach to programming and systems engineering.
