Multiple-Valued Logic Design: An Introduction explains the theory
and applications of this increasingly important subject. Written in
a clear and understandable style, the author develops the material
in a skillful way. Without using a huge mathematical apparatus, he
introduces the subject in a general form that includes the
well-known binary logic as a special case. The book is further
enhanced by more 200 explanatory diagrams and circuits, hardware
and software applications with supporting PASCAL programming, and
comprehensive exercises with even-numbered answers for every
chapter.
Requiring introductory knowledge in Boolean algebra, 2-valued
logic, or 2-valued switching theory, Multiple-Valued Logic Design:
An Introduction is an ideal book for courses not only in logic
design, but also in switching theory, nonclassical logic, and
computer arithmetic. Computer scientists, mathematicians, and
electronic engineers can also use the book as a basis for research
into multiple-valued logic design.
This is a collection of invited papers from the 1975 International
Sym posium on Multiple-valued Logic. Also included is an extensive
bib liography of works in the field of multiple-valued logic prior
to 1975 - this supplements and extends an earlier bibliography of
works prior to 1965, by Nicholas Rescher in his book Many-Valued
Logic, McGraw-Hill, 1969. There are a number of possible reasons
for interest in the present volume. First, the range of various
uses covered in this collection of papers may be taken as
indicative of a breadth which occurs in the field of
multiple-valued logic as a whole - the papers here can do no more
than cover a small sample: question-answering systems, analysis of
computer hazards, algebraic structures relating to multiple-valued
logic, algebra of computer programs, fuzzy sets. Second, a large
part of the interest in such uses and applications has occurred in
the last twenty, even ten years. It would be too much to expect
this to be reflected in Rescher's 1969 book. Third, in the 1970's a
series of annual symposia have been held on multiple-valued logic,
which have brought much of this into a sharp focus. * The 1971 and
1972 symposia were held at the SUNY at Buffalo, the 1973 symposium
at the Uni versity of Toronto, and the 1974 symposium at West
Virginia Uni versity. Papers from these symposia are included in
the bibliography which may be found in an appendix of this book."

Together, the four co-authors have taught bankruptcy courses at
more than 20 very different law schools; one of them sat as a
bankruptcy judge for nine years; and all four have substantial
practice experience. Drawing on their diverse experience, they have
prepared original text, problems, and edited cases with three goals
in mind: (1) introduce students to one new bankruptcy concept at a
time, (2) show students the connection among the various concepts
and (3) give the students a sense of how these bankruptcy concepts
are utilized in both the smallest personal and largest business
bankruptcy cases.
This book makes the Business Associations or Corporations course
accessible to students whether or not they already know anything
about business. In a conversational tone, the original text and
problems emphasize the legal issues that 99% of lawyers will
encounter in their professional career. The book is organized
around the life-cycle of a business. And while it includes landmark
cases, the focus is on the legal issues encountered when starting a
business, growing a business, and ending a business. This is the
only current casebook for an introductory course in business
associations that is co-authored by a business school professor.
The book thus consistently and clearly provides students with the
business context for understanding the legal issues explored.
Offering an entryway into the distinctive worlds of sexual health
and a window onto their spillover effects, sociologist Steven
Epstein traces the development of the concept and parses the
debates that swirl around it. Since the 1970s, health
professionals, researchers, governments, advocacy groups, and
commercial interests have invested in the pursuit of something
called "sexual health." Under this expansive banner, a wide array
of programs have been launched, organizations founded, initiatives
funded, products sold-and yet, no book before this one asks: What
does it mean to be sexually healthy? When did people conceive of a
form of health called sexual health? And how did it become the
gateway to addressing a host of social harms and the reimagining of
private desires and public dreams? Conjoining "sexual" with
"health" changes both terms: it alters how we conceive of sexuality
and transforms what it means to be healthy, prompting new
expectations of what medicine can provide. Yet the ideal of
achieving sexual health remains elusive and open-ended, and the
benefits and costs of promoting it are unevenly distributed across
genders, races, and sexual identities. Rather than a thing apart,
sexual health is intertwined with nearly every conceivable topical
debate-from sexual dysfunction to sexual violence, from
reproductive freedom to the practicalities of sexual contact in a
pandemic. In this book Steven Epstein analyzes the rise,
proliferation, uptake, and sprawling consequences of sexual health
activities, offering critical tools to assess those consequences,
expand capacities for collective decision making, and identify
pathways that promote social justice.
This book combines UCC Articles 2 (sales) and 9 (secured
transaction) for either a three- or four-hour course focusing on
business sales (B2B) and commercial financing. Coverage is
transactionally arranged and integrated - back and forth between
Articles 2 and 9 - based on a recurring fact pattern of Our Bank
financing Our Store which buys goods from Our Supplier and resells
to Our Buyer[s]. The book mixes explanatory text, cases, and
problems to support a variety of teaching and learning styles. And
statutory provisions themselves are reprinted when and where they
are referenced so there is no need to hunt for them in or outside
the book. The problems include actual, recent bar examination
questions interspersed throughout the book for comprehensive
review. The book covers everything that is fundamentally important
in both sales and secured transactions in ways and means that allow
students to manage and benefit from the wide, integrated coverage.
Despite strong agreement on the importance of parent involvement,
most schools, districts, and states still need help in developing
comprehensive programs of school, family, and community
partnerships. This revised handbook translates lessons learned over
20 years of research and fieldwork into practical solutions for
program development. The book presents a research-based framework
and field-tested tools to help leaders understand six types of
family and community involvement; create an Action Team for
Partnerships; plan and implement family and community involvement
activities to reach school goals for student success; mobilize
community resources; encourage progress; evaluate resul'ts; and
continue to improve plans, practices, and programs over time.
Chapter 1 summarizes the theory and research on which the handbook
is based. Chapter 2 provides examples illustrating how the approach
works in various schools and communities. Chapter 3 provides
guidance in organizing an effective Action Team for Partnerships.
Chapter 4 supplies materials to help workshop leaders prepare
workshops for educators, parents, and community partners. Chapter 5
supplies charts and diagrams that can be used as transparencies and
handouts in presentations and workshops. Chapter 6 summarizes
research and practical approaches to family and community
involvement in secondary schools. Chapter 7 outlines state and
district leadership activities to increase expertise on school,
family, and community partnerships. Chapter 8 describes two
partnership approaches as part of the Teachers Involve Parents in
Schoolwork (TIPS) approach. Chapter 9 includes tools for developing
long-term goals, writing action plans, conducting evaluations, and
assessing partnership progress. Chapter 10 shows how to join other
schools, districts, and states in the National Network of
Partnership Schools at Johns Hopkins University to.

This book for a Uniform Commercial Code survey course makes key
concepts from the UCC clear and understandable, and presents the
material in a format that encourages students to take the course
and teachers to teach it. The book is designed for coverage in a 2
or 3-hour survey course, and covers the most significant provisions
of Uniform Commercial Code Article 2 (Sales), Article 9 (Secured
Transactions), and Articles 3 and 4 (Payment Systems). The start of
each chapter highlights key learning objectives to allow students
to fully master the material. Salient provisions of the Code have
been selected and excerpted, along with cogent textual explanations
and examples that bring the provisions to life, and realistic
problems that test the students' understanding and provide the
starting point for class discussion. The text is designed to give a
high-level overview of critical concepts from the Uniform
Commercial Code, without requiring students to take several more
specialized courses.
This classic student text, used by tens of thousands of law
students for almost 50 years, has been revised to reflect changes
in the Bankruptcy Code, changes in case law, changes in bankruptcy
practices, and changes in bankruptcy casebooks. For example, there
is a Chapter on new Subdivision V which affects most small business
cases and a new separate Chapter on Section 363 Sales which affects
most large business cases. Today's bankruptcy courses are now much
more than just the avoiding powers, and discharge. As bankruptcy
classes have become more comprehensive, students have found this
short book even more helpful in comprehending reading assignments,
contributing to class discussions, and answering exam questions.
Short and Happy"? This book is indeed "short" - much shorter than
any other student guide. The reason is that other student guides
are written to help you understand your business
associations/organizations course, to get you through 42 or 56
class hours. This student guide is different. It is written to help
you understand your prof's final exam questions - to get you
through a 3 or 4 hour exam. Rather than teaching you how cases and
concepts are applied in the real world, this book teaches you how
cases and concepts need to be applied in the "unreal" world of law
school exams. This is the book to read after you have spent the
semester working on law review (Or was it clinic? Or client
counseling competitions? Or Kundalini yoga? Or shape note singing?)
instead of Business Associations.
This efficient and exceedingly effective guide to Contracts will
help you see the big picture. The authors focus on making the key
concepts of contract law, and the relationship among those
concepts, easier to understand and retain. The authors have also
infused the book with humor, believing there is nothing
inconsistent between a rigorous academic experience and having a
little fun. Each of the authors is nationally-renowned law teacher
who has taught Contracts for decades. Based on that experience, in
this book they have set forth understandable techniques for
mastering the law governing each critical aspect of the contract
relationship, including, contract formation (offer and acceptance),
enforcement (consideration and defenses), interpretation,
performance, breach, and remedies.

CasebookPlus Hardbound - New, hardbound print book includes
lifetime digital access to an eBook, with the ability to highlight
and take notes, and 12-month access to a digital Learning Library
that includes self-assessment quizzes tied to this book, leading
study aids, an outline starter, and Gilbert Law Dictionary.
This casebook comprehensively covers Article 9 with a fresh,
practical, rich mixture of explanatory text, cases, and problems
supporting a variety of teaching and learning styles. Obligingly,
statutes are reprinted at almost every place in the book when and
where they are referenced. There is no need to hunt in or outside
the book for the applicable UCC or other statutory provisions.
Problems include actual, recent bar examination questions that are
interspersed throughout the book for comprehensive review. All in
all, the book covers everything basically important in secured
transactions and does so in ways and means that can easily
accommodate most teachers' interests and styles.
