A friendly introduction to the most useful algorithms written in
simple, intuitive English The revised and updated second edition of
Essential Algorithms, offers an accessible introduction to computer
algorithms. The book contains a description of important classical
algorithms and explains when each is appropriate. The author shows
how to analyze algorithms in order to understand their behavior and
teaches techniques that the can be used to create new algorithms to
meet future needs. The text includes useful algorithms such as:
methods for manipulating common data structures, advanced data
structures, network algorithms, and numerical algorithms. It also
offers a variety of general problem-solving techniques. In addition
to describing algorithms and approaches, the author offers details
on how to analyze the performance of algorithms. The book is filled
with exercises that can be used to explore ways to modify the
algorithms in order to apply them to new situations. This updated
edition of Essential Algorithms Contains explanations of algorithms
in simple terms, rather than complicated math Steps through
powerful algorithms that can be used to solve difficult programming
problems Helps prepare for programming job interviews that
typically include algorithmic questions Offers methods can be
applied to any programming language Includes exercises and
solutions useful to both professionals and students Provides code
examples updated and written in Python and C# Essential Algorithms
has been updated and revised and offers professionals and students
a hands-on guide to analyzing algorithms as well as the techniques
and applications. The book also includes a collection of questions
that may appear in a job interview. The book's website will include
reference implementations in Python and C# (which can be easily
applied to Java and C++).
By presenting current psychological theories alongside individual
case studies, this book will guide you to understand the theory as
it applies to specific instances of each crime. Covering a wide
range of cases, from economic crimes, to terrorism and sexual and
violent crimes, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging

Leadership Potential in Gifted Students offers insight into
developing leadership skills in gifted students and provides
definitions and theories of leadership, looks at trends and
changing paradigms, and suggests screening and identification tools
for leadership as well as instructional programs and materials to
incorporate into the regular curriculum. This is one of the books
in Prufrock Press' popular Practical Strategies Series in Gifted
Education. The series offers 25 timesaving books on critical topics

series, the authors have kept the busy classroom teacher in mind.
The result is a timesaving introduction to the most important
issues in gifted education.
It is not possible to teach someone to be creative. It is not
possible to teach someone to be intelligent. It is, however,
possible to teach students to use the creativity and intelligence
they already have. Students can be taught to think more creatively
or intelligently and also can learn strategies for thinking more
rationally or imaginatively.
Encouraging creative thinking in the classroom is an exciting
component of any effective gifted education program. This guide
offers basic foundations required for supporting creativity. From
establishing the right classroom environment, to using creative
teaching strategies, to assessing student outcomes, this book is
filled with practical information. The book also includes a listing
of competitive contests and programs and an extensive list of
resources.
This is one of the books in Prufrock Press' popular "Practical
Strategies Series in Gifted Education." This series offers a unique
collection of tightly focused books that provide a concise,
practical introduction to important topics concerning the education
of gifted children. The guides offer a perfect beginner's
introduction to key information about gifted and talented
education.
Discover the foundations of software engineering with this easy and
intuitive guide In the newly updated second edition of Beginning
Software Engineering, expert programmer and tech educator Rod
Stephens delivers an instructive and intuitive introduction to the
fundamentals of software engineering. In the book, you'll learn to
create well-constructed software applications that meet the needs

build robust, efficient, and reliable software. The author skips
the unnecessary jargon and sticks to simple and straightforward
English to help you understand the concepts and ideas discussed
within. He also offers you real-world tested methods you can apply
to any programming language. You'll also get: Practical tips for
preparing for programming job interviews, which often include
questions about software engineering practices A no-nonsense guide
to requirements gathering, system modeling, design, implementation,
testing, and debugging Brand-new coverage of user interface design,
algorithms, and programming language choices Beginning Software
Engineering doesn't assume any experience with programming,
development, or management. It's plentiful figures and graphics
help to explain the foundational concepts and every chapter offers
several case examples, Try It Out, and How It Works explanatory
sections. For anyone interested in a new career in software
development, or simply curious about the software engineering
process, Beginning Software Engineering, Second Edition is the

Written for the millions of science teachers, students and the
public who want evidence of their views. Society must make
important choices in health and medicine, the environment, energy
sources, the courts and in risk and safety. These issues and many
other problems facing us require knowledge of science for their
solution. Polls show that nearly half of the US population believes
the myths, superstition and paranormal delivered by TV and the
press. Despite the great advances of science in the 20th century,
pseudo-science and anti-science are still around, even growing in
some of the greatest universities and institutions in the land.
The DNA of all organisms is constantly being damaged by endogenous
and exogenous sources. Oxygen metabolism generates reactive species
that can damage DNA, proteins and other organic compounds in living
cells. Exogenous sources include ionizing and ultraviolet
radiations, carcinogenic compounds and environmental toxins among
others. The discovery of multiple DNA lesions and DNA repair
mechanisms showed the involvement of DNA damage and DNA repair in
the pathogenesis of many human diseases, most notably cancer. These
books provide a comprehensive overview of the interdisciplinary
area of DNA damage and DNA repair, and their relevance to disease
pathology. Edited by recognised leaders in the field, this
two-volume set is an appealing resource to a variety of readers
including chemists, chemical biologists, geneticists, cancer
researchers and drug discovery scientists.
