Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The advent of new technology and the importation of 'professional communicators' has transformed the nature of British election campaigning. In this book, Dennis Kavanagh explores this so-called process of 'Americanization', characterized by the increasing importance of the media in elections and the rise of advertising agencies, pollsters, public relations advisers and speechwriters. He examines how the 'professional communicators' function within British politics, and assesses the reaction of the politicians themselves to the changing environment of election campaigns.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bioenergetics is the study of the way biological systems, usually at the molecular level, utilize and convert energy in order to drive the biochemical reactions that constitute life. However, because of its often quantitative basis and the amount of technical jargon, the subject tends to alienate and intimidate students. This beautifully illustrated text has a lucid and logical approach to the subject. The text uses the modern perspective throughout so that the student is given an easily assimilable, logical introduction to the important concepts of the subject, particulary the core concept, the chemiosmotic theory . It has been specifically designed to make information easily accessible by devoting each double-page spread to one topic. Within the spread, a variety of carefully constructed diagrams present information in a concise and innovative manner. The text is further enhanced by a comprehensive guide to additional reading.Original, easily understood combination of visual and written information.43 double-page speads give a clear and concise introduction to this traditionally difficult subject.The most up to date text available, covering all modern molecular genetic techniques.Competitively priced.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some Things Just Fit Together! Combin the strength of both C and UNIX to create powerful, more efficient computer programs! Five principles guide you through a complete course in programming: Emphasis on software design via program and data structure design, the design of tables, data encapsulation, and the use of abstract data types solidifies all aspects of the design process. The development of C and UNIX simultaneously, yet independently of one another, allows you to develop skills in both languages, or focus on them individually. Chapter summaries, review problems, and numerous practical programming problems enable you to tie several different concepts together in a coherent scheme. Extensive examples covering scientific problems, applied mathematics, and floating point arithmetic broaden the spectrum of computer science and programming. Problems feature the ideal gas law, the accuracy of summations, root finding, the future value of an annuity, simulation, time series smoothing, image processing, integrals, descriptive statistics, fuzzy sets, and sparse arrays. A focus on basic principles gives you the groundwork for understanding data structures, analysis of algorithms, numerical analysis, computer graphics, and compiler design.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Autism is a lifelong condition that requires special care and consideration right into adulthood, and has an impact on many lives. This book is aimed at those concerned with the education and welfare of children with autism; particularly at teachers in Special Education and the psychologists and care professionals who work with teachers and parents of children with autism. Although there is no miracle cure for autism, this book brings a message of hope: that early intervention is advantageous and that, by a better understanding of autism and the different ways it is experienced by individual children, more effective ways can be found to meet educational needs and improve quality of life. Understanding the development processes and problems of children with autism, and the implications of these problems for social and educational learning, is the purpose of this book. The authors provide an accessible account of psychological concepts and research in social and emotional development, communication, cognition and behaviour, as related to individuals with autism. The fundamental problems of autism relationships, communication and flexibility of thought and behaviour are addressed, and practical guidance is offered on how these might be overcome or circumvented, in both home and school. This book specifically addresses the needs of children, but much of it will remain relevant to those working with adults who will appreciate the book s exploration of the roles played by emotion and cognition in the autistic condition, and the way in which these affect teaching and learning.
