Compact but comprehensive, this textbook presents the essential
concepts of electronic circuit theory. As well as covering
classical linear theory involving resistance, capacitance and
inductance it treats practical nonlinear circuits containing
components such as operational amplifiers, Zener diodes and
exponential diodes. The book's straightforward approach highlights
the similarity between the equations describing direct current
(DC), alternating current (AC) and small-signal nonlinear
behaviour, thus making the analysis of these circuits easier to
comprehend.
Introductory Circuits explains:
the laws and analysis of DC circuits including those containing
controlled sources;
AC circuits, focusing on complex currents and voltages, and with
extension to frequency domain performance;
opamp circuits, including their use in amplifiers and
switches;
change behaviour within circuits, whether intentional
(small-signal performance) or caused by unwanted changes in
components.
In addition to worked examples within the text a number of
problems for student solution are provided at the end of each
chapter, ranging in difficulty from the simple to the more
challenging. Most solutions for these problems are provided in the
book, while others can be found on the accompanying website.
Introductory Circuits is designed for first year undergraduate
mechanical, biomedical, materials, chemical and civil engineering
students who are taking short electrical engineering courses and
find other texts on the subject too content-heavy for their needs.
With its clear structure and consistent treatment of resistive,
reactive and small-signal operation, this volume is also a
greatsupporting text for mainstream electrical engineering
students.

WHY DO BUILDINGS COLLAPSE IN EARTHQUAKES? Learn from the personal
experience and insights of leading earthquake engineering
specialists as they examine the lessons from disasters of the last
30 years and propose a path to earthquake safety worldwide Why Do
Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes?: Building for Safety in Seismic
Areas delivers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the key
lessons taught by building failures during earthquakes around the
world. The book uses empirical evidence to describe the successes
of earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness, as well as the
failures that may have had tragic consequences. Readers will learn
what makes buildings in earthquake zones vulnerable, what can be
done to design, build and maintain those buildings to reduce or
eliminate that vulnerability, and what can be done to protect
building occupants. Those who are responsible for the lives and
safety of building occupants and visitors--architects, designers,
engineers, and building owners or managers--will learn how to
provide adequate safety in earthquake zones. The text offers useful
and accessible answers to anyone interested in natural disasters
generally and those who have specific concerns about the impact of
earthquakes on the built environment. Readers will benefit from the
inclusion of: A thorough introduction to how buildings have behaved
in earthquakes, including a description of the world's most lethal
earthquakes and the fatality trend over time An exploration of how
buildings are constructed around the world, including
considerations of the impact of climate and seismicity on home
design A discussion of what happens during an earthquake, including
the types and levels of ground motion, landslides, tsunamis, and
sequential effects, and how different types of buildings tend to
behave in response to those phenomena What different stakeholders
can do to improve the earthquake safety of their buildings The
owners and managers of buildings in earthquake zones and those
responsible for the safety of people who occupy or visit them will
find Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes? Building for Safety
in Seismic Areas essential reading, as will all architects,
designers and engineers who design or refurbish buildings in
earthquake zones.

When I needed God to show up in my life and let me know that He was
listening and knew what was going on in my frazzled mind and heart,
He did. I can say that it was in the most unusual way. I saw a
beautiful flock of geese fly over the freeway in front of my car. I
had seen geese flying many times before in my life but never like
this. It was at that moment that God "spoke up" and told me just
what I needed to hear. We read in His Word of some very interesting
and unique ways that He chose to speak to men and women. But does
He still speak to His children today in this high-tech world of our
push-button society? Yes, He does Warning: after you read this book
you will never look at a flock of geese in the same way again

1853. In its modern development; translated from Singhalese
manuscripts. In the preparation of this volume, Hardy kept one
object steadily in view. It was his simple aim to answer the
question, "What is Buddhism, as it is now professed by its myriads
of votaries?" Contents: system of the universe; various orders of
sentient existence; primitive inhabitants of the Earth; Buddhas who
preceded Gotama; Gotama Bodhisat; ancestors of Gotama Buddha;
legendary life of Gotama Buddha; dignity, virtues and powers of
Buddha; ontology of Buddhism; ethics of Buddhism.
1866. With introductory notices of the life and system of Gotama
Buddha. Hardy writes in the Preface: The system attributed to
Gotama Buddha is one of the oldest beliefs in the world. It
demands, therefore, a place among the records of religious opinion,
if for its antiquity alone. His aim is to make the name of Gotama
Buddha more widely recognized, given that no uninspired man has
exercised a greater influence than he upon the social and religious
interests of the world.
