..".A book that should be on the shelf of every digital or analog
electronic-system designer." - Frank Goodenough, Electronic Design
This Handbook offers design engineers and managers immediately
useful, meat-and-potatoes techniques for achieving design
validation by analysis in an easy-to-read style. The book contains
numerous useful and interesting
tips for electronics circuit designers. Examples of rectifier
circuits, power supplies, digital timing, thermal analysis,
grounding and layout, and EMI/noise control are examined in detail
with fully worked-out numerical examples.
If you need to create reliable, cost-effective, optimized designs,
The Design Analysis Handbook provides a practical framework for
integrating quality into the design process from start to finish.
The methodology used is called Worst Case Analysis Plus (WCA+), a
design-validation tool that demands thoroughness and analytical
thinking by the user.
A guide to assessing and validating circuit design, The Design
Analysis Handbook presents processes and mathematical tools in a
straightforward, real-world manner. Unique features of the approach
include chapters on safety, bad science, and surviving
high-pressure design projects.
N. Edward Walker is the president of Design/Analysis Consultants,
Inc., based in Tampa, Florida. The Handbook is based on DACI's
extensive experience in the design and analysis of highly-reliable
electronic systems.

The only woman to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for her
service during the Civil War, Dr. Mary E. Walker (1832-1919) was a
surgeon, a public lecturer, and an outspoken champion of women's
rights. One of the first women in the country to be awarded a
medical degree, she served as an assistant surgeon for the 52nd
Ohio Infantry and was cited for valor in going behind enemy lines
to attend to the sick. Though her early career was highly
distinguished, her subsequent life became controversial and, in
some respects, tragic. Always a woman of great independence, she
publicly expressed strong opinions about the need for women's
rights and harshly criticized prevailing patriarchal attitudes and
the enforced subservience of women. After the war she published
Hit, an enigmatically titled book in which she advanced her radical
ideas on topics from love and marriage and dress reform to woman's
suffrage and religion. With an insightful foreword by Walker
specialist Mercedes Graf (professor of psychology, Governors State
University, University Park, Illinois), this new edition of a
little-known work by a pioneering feminist will be of great
interest to anyone concerned about women's rights.

Illusive Identity is a transnational exploration of the evolution
of working-class consciousness within modern Western culture. The
work traces how the rise of popular culture blurred the definition
and dulled the influence of class identity in Europe and the United
States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chapters
tackling changing class consciousness in Britain, Germany, Italy,
and the United States offer rich insight into the movement from a
traditional community-based social identity to a modern
consumer-based culture; a mass culture influenced by
industrialization, new social institutions, and the powerful
imagery of new media. Illusive Identity vividly demonstrates the
transformative impact of modernity on the laboring classes, as
advertising, entertainment, and the rise of the popular press
replaced traditionally shared narratives about the nature of work
with a new and liberating cultural paradigm.
Today's law firm is an entity in flux. Economic and technological
disruption - along with a range of other factors - have contributed
to this change, meaning that firms are not what they used to be. It
is therefore a necessity that the way they are managed also needs
to change. This means, among many things, the need to corporatize
the running of the firm; a move away from the focus on the billable
hour towards more intangible activities such as business
development and marketing and - perhaps the most important factor -
the development of a new kind of leader within the legal landscape.
The new kind of leader now demanded by a transformed legal
profession is not readily forthcoming, however. Legal culture
stresses individualism and independence, which is reinforced by
firm governance, practice management, and performance management
systems that are ill-suited to foster supportive and collaborative
leadership practices; lawyers are trained and conditioned to be
combative, autonomous, and didactic. To position oneself as a
contender in a fast-moving and competitive market, the legal leader
of the future must push back against these trends by acting
strategically, engaging in people management, investing in their
employees, and creating a working environment that places emphasis
on communication, teamwork, and growth and development. Legal
leadership: a handbook for future success combines the latest and
most relevant intelligence from those on the frontline of law firm
leadership and management, to serve as the catalyst for change and
the foundation on which a strong leadership practice can be built.
Drawing on their expertise and experience, our authors - ranging
from behavioral psychologists to senior management figures and
pofessional coaches -present a wide range of competencies and
strategies to cultivate as part of a leader's personal and
professional development. Whether you are already a member of your
firm's senior management, or in a junior position with big
aspirations, Legal leadership: a handbook for future success
provides the essential tools to equip you to become a leader of the
future.
