* Provides simple, conceptual descriptions of everyday technologies
* Includes clear examples and diagrams that demonstrate the
principles and techniques, not just a "how-to" punch list * Covers
advanced topics for readers who want to dive into the deep end of
the technology pool * Avoids jargon-where terminology does appear,

Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations: Balance-of-Plant
Systems serves as a ready reference to better analyze common
engineering challenges in the areas of turbine cycle analysis,
thermodynamics, and heat transfer. The scope of the book is broad
and comprehensive, encompassing the mechanical aspects of the
entire nuclear station balance of plant from the source of the
motive steam to the discharge and/or utilization of waste heat and
beyond. Written for engineers in the fields of nuclear plant and
thermal engineering, the book examines the daily, practical
problems encountered by mechanical design, system, and maintenance
engineers. It provides clear examples and solutions drawn from
numerous case studies in actual, operating nuclear stations.
This book provides a reference to analysis techniques of common
cooling water system problems and a historical perspective on
solutions to chronic cooling water system problems, such as
corrosion and biofouling. It covers best design practices for
cooling water systems that are required to support the operation of
all electric power plants. Plant engineers will gain better
understanding of the practical issues associated with their cooling
water systems and new designs or modifications of their systems
should consider the actual challenges to the systems. The book is
intended for graduate students and practicing engineers working in
both nuclear and fossil power plants and industrial facilities that
use large amounts of cooling water.

It's axiomatic to state that people fear what they do not
understand, and this is especially true when it comes to
technology. However, despite their prevalence, computers remain
shrouded in mystery, and many users feel apprehensive when
interacting with them. Smartphones have only exacerbated the issue.
Indeed, most users of these devices leverage only a small fraction
of the power they hold in their hands. How Things Work: The
Computer Science Edition is a roadmap for readers who want to
overcome their technophobia and harness the full power of everyday
technology. Beginning with the basics, the book demystifies the
mysterious world of computer science, explains its fundamental
concepts in simple terms, and answers the questions many users feel
too intimidated to ask. By the end of the book, readers will
understand how computers and smart devices function and, more
important, how they can make these devices work for them. To
complete the picture, the book also introduces readers to the
darker side of modern technology: security and privacy concerns,
identity theft, and threats from the Dark Web.

Historical information may be found in many of the Old Testament
books. In some instances more than one book may record the same
events. In others historical information is contained in books that
are not normally thought of as books of history. The purpose of the
Biblical History of the Old Testament is, to provide a narrative of
the historical events found in the Old Testament in which the
events recorded in the various books are combined into a single,
easy-to-read overview. Each chapter contains its own list of
references to passages in the Old Testament books, so that the
reader may access the source of the information and perhaps thereby
read of the events in more detail.
With numerous practical, real-world algorithms presented in the C
programming language, Bowman's Algorithms and Data Structures: An
Approach in C is the algorithms text for courses that take a modern
approach. For the one- or two-semester undergraduate course in data
structures, it instructs students on the science of developing and
analysing algorithms. Bowman focuses on both the theoretical and
practical aspects of algorithm development. He discusses
problem-solving techniques and introduces the concepts of data
abstraction and algorithm efficiency. More importantly, the text
does not present algorithms in a "shopping-list" format. Rather it
provides actual insight into the design process itself
