This guidebook offers a selection of 38 routes from simple day
walks, high mountain scrambles to very demanding multi-day treks in
the striking Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in mainland
Spain. Easily accessible from Granada and Malaga, it is a world of
soaring, snow-clad peaks and deep valleys, far removed from the
crowded beaches of the Costa del Sol just two hours away. The
routes are spread across the national park, with attractive towns
and villages such as Trevelez, Lanjaron, Hoya de la Mora and
Cumbres Verdes serving as potential bases for a walking holiday.
From more leisurely outings in the Cumbres Verde area to ascents of
mainland Spain's highest summit, Mulhacen, there are routes to suit
a range of abilities, although most require a reasonable degree of
fitness, navigational skill and experience of high mountain
terrain. Whilst some of the routes are day or half-day walks,
others take advantage of the region's network of mountain shelters
or offer an opportunity to wild camp. Also included are three
longer traverses: 'Los Tres Picos' (the Spanish Three Peaks -
Veleta, Mulhacen and Alcazaba), 'Los Tres Miles' Integral (a
multi-day trek covering all the major 3000m peaks in the range) and
an overview of the 302km Sulayr GR240. The walks can be enjoyed
most of the year, however conditions may prove too hot at the peak
of summer and extra care and equipment will be required in snow or
ice: the descriptions assume summer conditions, but include
additional notes for winter walking. The guide also includes advice
on transport, bases and safety, a tick-list of the 3000m peaks and
a Spanish-English glossary.
Digital signal processing (DSP) is used in a wide range of
applications such as speech, telephone, mobile radio, video, radar
and sonar. The sample rate requirements of these applications range
from 10 KHz to 100 MHz. Real time implementation of these systems
requires design of hardware which can process signal samples as
these are received from the source, as opposed to storing them in
buffers and processing them in batch mode. Efficient implementation
of real time hardware for DSP applications requires study of
families of architectures and implementation styles out of which an
appropriate architecture can be selected for a specified
application. To this end, the digit-serial implementation style is
proposed as an appropriate design methodology for cases where
bit-serial systems cannot meet the sample rate requirements, and
bit-parallel systems require excessive hardware. The number of bits
processed in a clock cycle is referred to as the digit-size. The
hardware complexity and the achievable sample rate increase with
increase in the digit-size. As special cases, a digit serial system
is reduced to bit-serial or bit-parallel when the digit-size is
selected to equal one or the word-length, respectively. A family of
implementations can be obtained by changing the digit-size
parameter, thus permitting an optimal trade-off between throughput
and size. Because of their structured architecture, digit-serial
designs lend themselves to automatic compilation from algorithmic
descriptions. An implementation of this design methodology, the
Parsifal silicon compiler was developed at the General Electric
Corporate Research and Development laboratory."

Historical drama starring Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close. In 1183,
after the death of his eldest son, King Henry II (Stewart) must
decide which of his three remaining sons will succeed him. As the
time for him to announce his successor approaches, Henry frees his
imprisoned wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine (Close), who he held captive
after she plotted to overthrow him. It soon becomes clear, however,
that Eleanor favours first child Richard (Andrew Howard), while
Henry sees his youngest, John (Rafe Spall), as the next in line
but, in the weeks ahead, the King begins to have serious doubts if
any of his sons are capable of becoming the new ruler.
The fourth edition of this standard student text, Organizing
Knowledge, incorporates extensive revisions reflecting the
increasing shift towards a networked and digital information
environment, and its impact on documents, information, knowledge,
users and managers. Offering a broad-based overview of the
approaches and tools used in the structuring and dissemination of
knowledge, it is written in an accessible style and well
illustrated with figures and examples. The book has been structured
into three parts and twelve chapters and has been thoroughly
updated throughout. Part I discusses the nature, structuring and
description of knowledge. Part II, with its five chapters, lies at
the core of the book focusing as it does on access to information.
Part III explores different types of knowledge organization systems
and considers some of the management issues associated with such
systems. Each chapter includes learning objectives, a chapter
summary and a list of references for further reading. This is a key
introductory text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of
information management.

A comprehensive examination of the criminal court system and the
processing of defendants From the actors in the system, including
judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, through the sentencing
and appeals process, Criminal Courts provides comprehensive
coverage of the United States Criminal Court systems in a succinct,
readable approach. It examines issues confronting the system from
historical, philosophical, sociological, and psychological
perspectives, and throughout there are comparisons of court ideals
with what actually happens in the courts. Comprehensive coverage of
the processing of offenders from when they are arrested and charged
with crimes, to when they are convicted and sentenced is presented,
and throughout the text, practical, real-life applications of the
topics and issues give the material meaning. Included to enhance
learning are: evidence-based chapter openings that provide context
to the chapter's material, boxes that discuss relevant case law,
chapter summaries to reiterate the chapter learning objectives, and
policy-oriented critical thinking exercises based on current issues
facing the system.

A basic problem in computer vision is to understand the structure of a real world scene. This book covers relevant geometric principles and how to represent objects algebraically so they can be computed and applied. Recent major developments in the theory and practice of scene reconstruction are described in detail in a unified framework. Richard Hartley and Andrew Zisserman provide comprehensive background material and explain how to apply the methods and implement the algorithms. First Edition HB (2000): 0-521-62304-9
