Comprised of two volumes, Electronic Design Automation for
Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition addresses all major
areas of EDA for integrated circuits (ICs). Chapters contributed by
leading experts authoritatively discuss an array of topics ranging
from system design to physical implementation. New to This Edition:
Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the design flow,
where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more
functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs
Significant revisions reflected in the final phases of the design
flow, where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is
compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithography
New coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized
in the decade since publication of the previous edition-these are
illustrated by new chapters on high-level synthesis, system-on-chip
(SoC) block-based design, back-annotating system-level models, 3D
circuit integration, and clock design Offering improved depth and
modernity, Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits
Handbook, Second Edition - Two-Volume Set provides a valuable,
state-of-the-art reference for EDA students, researchers, and
professionals.

Red Inc. takes issue with the view that economic development will
eventually promote democracy. It outlines in detail the enormous
social costs of the rapid rise of China's economy. Although many
observers argue that Deng Xiaoping introduced capitalism to China
in the late 1970s, Schaeffer believes that capitalist development
really began during the 1950s under Mao Zedong. But although Mao
made relentless efforts to generate the capital needed to finance
economic development, his regime failed to promote any real growth.
Schaeffer shows that the remarkable rise of its economy in recent
years has provided China with new and often corrupt sources of
wealth and power that have enabled it to resist democracy. He
brings into sharp focus the consequence of the regime's
uncompromising approach to capital accumulation.
Activists are embedding feminism in many movements for global
change, igniting the transnational power of feminism. The editors
of this analytic anthology argue that egalitarian, democratic,
gender/sexuality, work and trade, environmental, and peace
movements interconnect and exhibit strong a feminist core. Diverse
feminist movements now initiate structural reforms and invent
alternative social relations. As they build foundations that may
lead to new societies, intertwined movements and practical projects
enhance the possibilities for sustained change. This book's
synthetic approach and its practical cases show readers--students,
activists, scholars, and general readers alike--that feminist
knowledge and participatory action have become key elements in
local to global change. Within the contemporary, global-historical
context, the editors redefine and integrate theories. They explore
knowledge that relates to feminist, intersectional, world-system
and other frameworks. Each chapter provides the editors' original
analysis of a feminist-driven movement, literature reviews (with
examples in side-bars), and related anthology selections that have
been written by noted multicultural scholars and activists who work
in diverse urban and rural areas of the world.

"Red Inc." provides a sweeping, critical account of the political
and economic changes that have transformed China since 1949.
Although many observers argue that Deng Xiaoping introduced
capitalism to China in the late 1970s, "Red Inc." demonstrates that
capitalist development really began during the 1950s under Mao
Zedong. But while Mao made relentless efforts to generate the
capital needed to finance economic development his regime failed to
promote any real growth. By contrast, Deng successfully used
reforms to promote rapid growth. Importantly, China s remarkable
success was assisted by U.S. officials and by foreign investors who
were persuaded by crises in democratizing countries across Asia and
Latin America to migrate to China in search of low-wage labor and
to bankroll China s industrialization during the 1990s. Rapid
growth has provided the regime with new and often corrupt sources
of wealth and power that have enabled it to stifle dissent and
deter democracy. "Red Inc." challenges conventional accounts of
political and economic change in China, takes issue with the view
that economic development will eventually promote democracy in
China, punctures the regime s self-serving rationalizations about
costly and problematic economic and social policies, and provides a
detailed account of the enormous social costs imposed on rural and
urban workers, in particular on women and girls, by the regime s
uncompromising approach to capital accumulation."

Understanding Globalization introduces students to the concept of
globalization, providing an essential history, overview of key
themes and theories, and a wealth of engaging examples. The fifth
edition has been completely revised to connect with students today,
opening with a discussion of the far-reaching causes and effects of
the recent financial crisis and including new material on global
migration patterns, ISIS, and more, while maintaining the book's
accessible and student-friendly style. The book begins by examining
the roots of the recent global financial crisis, looking at the
roles of inflation, the housing crisis, Wall Street, policy makers,
and more. It also explores the varying impact of globalization-from
democratization and equality in some countries to destabilization
and inequality in others. The fifth edition of Understanding
Globalization is a compelling and current introduction to the
myriad influences of globalization in our lives.

Social Movements and Global Social Change teaches students not only
about how social change occurs but also how social movements can
contribute to this change. The book links two concepts in sociology
that are often related in real life, but that can seem disconnected
in traditional approaches to teaching these courses. The book
examines different types of social movements, including those often
ignored in social change textbooks, such as riots, migration, and
disorganized protest. It also looks at citizens' rights and
inequality in connection to social movements and change. The book
features global perspectives and examples throughout.

As we approach the millennium the world is experiencing civil wars
exclusively-half of which are being waged over the issue of
secession. This book offers a comparative view of nine historic
separatist movements, some of which have achieved the break-up of
an empire or a state, and others that to date have not. Separatist
struggles occur in waves that tend to coincide with upsurges of
democratization. Several chapters explore this connection, making
comparisons with economic and geopolitical causes. The authors
analyze the long term effects of secession: after partition, ethnic
strife typically continues for generations; minorities decline in
status; and democracy and human rights are derogated. The break-up
of one state often leads to further fragmentation, as in the
disintegration of the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian
empires, where years later separatism unfolded in the successor
states of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Palestine, Chechnya and
Tatarstan. The authors attribute much of today's separatism to the
demagoguery of politicians losing legitimacy in post-communist
states, for whom nationalism is a convenient populist ideology. A
broader explanation, however, points to the failure of modern
democracies to develop constitutional mechanisms reconciling the
expression of particularistic identities with the universalism of
citizenship. The book reviews proposals toward that end.
