"When you land on this book, if you do not yet have an appreciation
of butterflies or Chan's workmanship, after reading, it will leave
you in awe of both."-Beth Bernstein, Forbes "When I was a young
boy, butterflies were flying colours - I knew not their name. Then
butterflies became the Butterfly Lovers: a tragedy, a love story, a
symbol of eternal love. As I grew older, I found them to embody the
words of a great philosopher: life is but a dream; only we need to
decide whether we want it to be the dream of a man, or the dream of
a butterfly. I could not decide, and so I became The Butterfly
Man." - Wallace Chan Father of The Wallace Cut - an illusionary
three-dimensional gemstone carving technique - and The Wallace Chan
Porcelain - a ground-breaking material five times stronger than
steel - Wallace Chan is a guiding light in the world of jewellery
design. Always innovating, always testing boundaries with his
materials and technique, Chan's creations are as stunning as they
are intricate. Compiled by jewellery experts, this book explores
the cultural and personal significance of Wallace Chan's most
famous emblem: the butterfly. Winged Beauty: The Butterfly
Jewellery Art of Wallace Chan features approximately 30 of his
finest pieces. Enter a butterfly house of colourful gems, with
brooches and necklaces so delicate they might have flown down and
alighted on the page.
Asian American men represent a complex group with distinct
psychological and mental health concerns, yet the current
counseling literature is lacking in resources for clinicians
working with this population. The purpose of this text is to
provide practitioners with a comprehensive overview of the current
research and theory related to the important and unique issues that
Asian American men experience. It offers clinicians
culturally-responsive, practical counseling techniques and
strategies to help inform them on how to work effectively with this
group. Chapters are written by leading figures in the field and
explore such topics as intergenerational conflict, racism,
challenges associated with masculinity and fatherhood, sexual
orientation identity development, substance abuse, and career
counseling. Numerous clinical vignettes and case conceptualizations
are included to assist clinicians who work with Asian American men
and to demonstrate appropriate treatment responses.

This book offers a novel approach to data privacy by unifying
side-channel attacks within a general conceptual framework. This
book then applies the framework in three concrete domains. First,
the book examines privacy-preserving data publishing with
publicly-known algorithms, studying a generic strategy independent
of data utility measures and syntactic privacy properties before
discussing an extended approach to improve the efficiency. Next,
the book explores privacy-preserving traffic padding in Web
applications, first via a model to quantify privacy and cost and
then by introducing randomness to provide background
knowledge-resistant privacy guarantee. Finally, the book considers
privacy-preserving smart metering by proposing a light-weight
approach to simultaneously preserving users' privacy and ensuring
billing accuracy. Designed for researchers and professionals, this
book is also suitable for advanced-level students interested in
privacy, algorithms, or web applications.

and pi-calculi. This book is a valuable reference for researchers
and students interested in this rapidly developing area of
theoretical computer science.
This book provides a summary of the research conducted at UCLA,
Stanford University, and UCSD over the last ?ve years in the area
of nonlinear dyn- ics and chaos as applied to digital
communications. At ?rst blush, the term "chaotic communications"
seems like an oxymoron; how could something as precise and
deterministic as digital communications be chaotic? But as this
book will demonstrate, the application of chaos and nonlinear
dynamicstocommunicationsprovidesmanypromisingnewdirectionsinareas
of coding, nonlinear optical communications, and ultra-wideband
commu- cations. The eleven chapters of the book summarize many of
the promising new approaches that have been developed, and point
the way to new research directions in this ?eld. Digital
communications techniques have been continuously developed and
re?ned for the past ?fty years to the point where today they form
the heart of a multi-hundred billion dollar per year industry
employing hundreds of thousands of people on a worldwide basis.
There is a continuing need for transmission and reception of
digital signals at higher and higher data rates. There are a
variety of physical limits that place an upper limit on these data
rates, and so the question naturally arises: are there alternative
communi- tion techniques that can overcome some of these
limitations? Most digital communications today is carried out using
electronic devices that are essentially "linear," and linear system
theory has been used to c- tinually re?ne their performance. In
many cases, inherently nonlinear devices are linearized in order to
achieve a certain level of linear system performance.
