Introduction to Programming with Java: A Problem Solving Approach
teaches the reader how to write programs using Java. It does so
with a unique approach that combines fundamentals first with
objects early. The book transitions smoothly through a carefully
selected set of procedural programming fundamentals to
object-oriented fundamentals. During this early transition and
beyond, the book emphasizes problem solving. For example, Chapter 2
is devoted to algorithm development, Chapter 8 is devoted to
program design, and problem-solving sections appear throughout the
book. The third edition introduces several new Java language
features, most of the end-of-chapter GUI sections and the final GUI
chapters use JavaFX, and almost all end-of-chapter exercises are
new.
Step away from the traditional highlights of the city of
innovators, great benefactors, artists, presidents and hucksters to
discover innumerable interesting and unknown sites, artefacts and
other treats in Washington, DC. Visit places hiding in plain sight,
that may go unnoticed or simply be unknown to long-time residents
and visitors alike. Play a round of miniature golf among the cherry
trees. Buy original art works out of a vintage cigarette machine.
Catch a show at one of the refurbished theatres where Louis
Armstrong and Duke Ellington used to gig. Commune with the
Godfather of Go-Go music in his memorial park. Get away from the
tourists and peace out by walking a labyrinth alongside the Potomac
River. Try a salad made of indigenous root vegetables at a Native
American cafe.
If you are studying forensic science, or a related course such as
forensic chemistry or biology, then this book will be an
indispensable companion throughout your entire degree programme.
This 'one-stop' text will guide you through the wide range of
practical, analytical and data handling skills that you will need
during your studies. It will also give you a solid grounding in the
wider transferable skills such as teamwork and study skills. This
third edition of Practical Skills in Forensic Science builds upon
the excellent foundation of its predecessors and provides an
easy-to-read guide to help you develop the skills you need to
succeed. It retains the key features of earlier editions, with a
layout that explains the essential elements of practical techniques
and procedures in a step-by-step manner to help you understand
their application in the context of forensic science. Features
include: * Coverage of a wide range of practical aspects from
fingerprint recovery, trace evidence examination, bodily fluid
examination and DNA analysis, as well as broader skills such as
tackling numerical problems and passing exams. * Case examples,
guidelines for documentation and reporting results, plus advice on
the legal aspects of forensic science provide you with an
understanding of the professional role of a forensic scientist. *
New material on personal development planning, learning styles,
e-learning and avoiding plagiarism. * Updated sections on software
for graphical and statistical analysis. * Worked examples and 'How
To' boxes provide practical guidance and support. * Key points
highlight critical features of methodology. * Use of margin tips,
definitions and illustrations throughout. * Additional sources of
further study identified for every chapter. * Safety notes
highlight specific hazards and appropriate practical steps to
minimise risk. * Study exercises (and answers) in each chapter help
to reinforce learning. ALAN LANGFORD is Senior Lecturer and

Practical skills form the cornerstone of chemistry. However, the
diversity of skills required in the laboratory means that a
student's experience may be limited. While some techniques do
require specific skills, many of them are transferable generic
skills that are required throughout the subject area. Limited time
constraints of the modern curriculum often preclude or minimise
laboratory time. Practical Skills in Chemistry 3rd edition provides
a general guidance for use in and out of practical sessions,
covering a range of techniques from the basic to the more advanced.
This 'one-stop' text will guide you through the wide range of
practical, analytical and data handling skills that you will need
during your studies. It will also give you a solid grounding in
wider transferable skills such as teamwork, using information
technology, communicating information and study skills. This
edition has been enhanced and updated throughout to provide a
complete and easy-to-read guide to the developing skills required
from your first day through to graduation, further strengthening
its reputation as the practical resource for students of chemistry
and related discipline areas.
Death came knocking...
In the heart of Indianapolis in the mid 1960's, through a twist
of fate and fortune, a pretty young girl came to live with a
thirty-seven-year-old mother and her seven children. What began as
a temporary childcare arrangement between Sylvia Likens's parents
and Gertrude Baniszewski turned into a crime that would haunt cops,
prosecutors, and a community for decades to come...
Behind closed doors...
When police found Sylvia's emaciated body, with a chilling
message carved into her flesh, they knew that she had suffered
tremendously before her death. Soon they would learn how many
others--including some of Baniszewski's own children--participated
in Sylvia's murder, and just how much torture had been inflicted in
one "HOUSE OF EVIL"
*With 8 pages of startling photos! *
