The ultimate reference book for bird enthusiasts - now in its third
edition. With expanded text and additional colour illustrations,
the third edition of the hugely successful Collins Bird Guide is a
must for every birdwatcher. The new edition has an extra 32 pages
allowing several groups more space and completely or partly new
plates with more detailed text: grouse, loons, several groups of
raptors, terns, owls, swifts, woodpeckers, swallows, redstarts and
some other relatives to the flycatchers (formerly often called
'small thrushes'), tits and a few finches and buntings are some of
these. More than 50 plates are either new or have been repainted,
completely or partly. Apart from this, a few new vignettes have
been added. The section with vagrants has been expanded to
accommodate more images and longer texts for several species. The
entire text and all maps have of course also been revised. The book
provides all the information needed to identify any species at any
time of the year, covering size, habitat, range, identification and
voice. Accompanying every species entry is a distribution map and
illustrations showing the species in all the major plumages (male,
female, immature, in flight, at rest, feeding: whatever is
important). In addition, each group of birds includes an
introduction which covers the major problems involved in
identifying or observing them: how to organise a sea watching trip,
how to separate birds of prey in flight, which duck hybrids can be
confused with which main species. These and many other common
birdwatching questions are answered. The combination of definitive
text, up-to-date distribution maps and superb illustrations, all in
a single volume, makes this book the ultimate field guide,
essential on every bookshelf and birdwatching trip.

THE BRITISH BIRDS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018 This unique and spectacular
handbook is the most complete and comprehensive photographic guide
to the passerines of the Western Palearctic. Written by two of the
world's most respected ornithologists, Hadoram Shirihai and Lars
Svensson, it contains the most up-to-date information available on
bird identification covering all aspects of plumage, moult, ageing
and sexing, with sections on voice and other identification
criteria, and detailed taxonomic notes. The passerines are divided
into two volumes, with the first covering larks, hirundines, pipits
and wagtails, bulbuls, accentors, robins, chats, wheatears,
thrushes, prinias and cisticolas, and warblers, and the second
covering flycatchers, reedlings, tits, nuthatches, orioles and
sunbirds, shrikes, corvids, finches and buntings, along with
extreme vagrants. The exceptional text is backed up by a remarkable
collection of more than 5,000 photographs, featuring a
comprehensive range of plumages that illustrate every race and
morph of each species in the region. This stunning handbook will be
the definitive reference for the region for years to come - no
birder's shelf will be complete without it.

Welcome to the proceedings of PATMOS 2008, the 18th in a series of
int- national workshops. PATMOS 2008 was organized by INESC-ID /
IST - TU Lisbon, Portugal, with sponsorship by Cadence, IBM,
Chipidea, and Tecmic, and technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE.
Over the years, PATMOS has evolved into an important European
event, where researchers from both industry and academia discuss
and investigate the emerging challenges in future and contemporary
applications, design meth- ologies, and tools required for the
development of the upcoming generations of integrated circuits and
systems. The technical program of PATMOS 2008 c- tained
state-of-the-art technical contributions, three invited talks, and
a special session on recon?gurable architectures. The technical
program focused on t- ing, performance and power consumption, as
well as architectural aspects with particular emphasis on modeling,
design, characterization, analysis and op- mization in the
nanometer era. The Technical Program Committee, with the assistance
of additional expert reviewers, selected the 41 papers presented at
PATMOS. The papers were - ganized into 7 oral sessions (with a
total of 31 papers) and 2 poster sessions (with a total of 10
papers). As is customary for the PATMOS workshops, full papers were
required for review, and a minimum of three reviews were received
per manuscript.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th
International Workshop on Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization
and Simulation, PATMOS 2007, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in
September 2007.
The 36 revised full papers and 19 revised poster papers
presented together with the abstracts of 3 key notes and 2
industrial papers were carefully reviewed and selected from
numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections
on high-level design, low power design techniques, low power analog
circuits, statistical static timing analysis, power modeling and
optimization, low power routing optimization, security and
asynchronous design, low power applications, modeling and
optimization, low power techniques and applications, as well as
design challenges in real-life projects.
