Respected for its accuracy, its smooth and logical flow of ideas,
and its clear presentation, Field and Wave Electromagnetics has
become an established textbook in the field of electromagnetics.
This book builds the electromagnetic model using an axiomatic
approach in steps: first for static electric fields, then for
static magnetic fields, and finally for time-varying fields leading
to Maxwell's equations. This approach results in an organised and
systematic development of the subject matter. Applications of
derived relations to fundamental phenomena and electromagnetic
technologies are explained.
Fundamental of Engineering Electromagnetics not only presents the
fundamentals of electromagnetism in a concise and logical manner,
but also includes a variety of interesting and important
applications. While adapted from his popular and more extensive
work, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, this text incorporates a
number of innovative pedagogical features. Each chapter begins with
an overview which serves to offer qualitative guidance to the
subject matter and motivate the student. Review questions and
worked examples throughout each chapter reinforce the student's
understanding of the material. Remarks boxes following the review
questions and margin notes throughout the book serve as additional
pedagogical aids.
As a foundation, the book recalls the origination of Jeet Kune Do -
the philosophy, history, and different styles of the martial art.
This gives readers an important reference point on how the practice
evolved. From there, the book explains how to choose a school,
taking readers through their first class including the etiquette
and dress requirements. The basic elements of the style - stances,
footwork, upper body and lower body techniques, and grappling are
all well represented and defined. Building upon this solid
groundwork, the book informs readers of the five ways of attack,
including the single direct attack, the attack by combination, the
progressive indirect attack, the attack by drawing, and the hand
immobilization attack. Fighting instructions include the tactical
considerations of Jeet Kune Do practice such as defenses,
counterattacks, and sparring. The book concludes with a
comprehensive list of resources to help students further develop
their knowledge of and training in Jeet Kune Do. Thorough compact
and easy-to-read, this book gives readers everything they'll need
to start their practice of this important fighting art.
The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days, but
armistice talks occupied more than two of those years, as more than
14,000 Chinese prisoners of war refused to return to Communist
China and demanded to go to Nationalist Taiwan, effectively
hijacking the negotiations and thwarting the designs of world
leaders at a pivotal moment in Cold War history. In The Hijacked
War, David Cheng Chang vividly portrays the experiences of Chinese
prisoners in the dark, cold, and damp tents of Koje and Cheju
Islands in Korea and how their decisions derailed the high politics
being conducted in the corridors of power in Washington, Moscow,
and Beijing. Chang demonstrates how the Truman-Acheson
administration's policies of voluntary repatriation and prisoner
reindoctrination for psychological warfare purposes—the first
overt and the second covert—had unintended consequences. The
"success" of the reindoctrination program backfired when
anti-Communist Chinese prisoners persuaded and coerced fellow POWs
to renounce their homeland. Drawing on newly declassified archival
materials from China, Taiwan, and the United States, and interviews
with more than 80 surviving Chinese and North Korean prisoners of
war, Chang depicts the struggle over prisoner repatriation that
dominated the second half of the Korean War, from early 1952 to
July 1953, in the prisoners' own words.
