In recent years, much work has been put into creating programming
languages that embody a blend of many of the most admired
characteristics of their predecessors. One such language is D,
which provides developers with the speed of languages such as C and
C++ combined with the power and flexibility of languages such as
Ruby and Python.
Learn to Tango with D introduces you to the powerful D language,
with special attention given to the Tango software library. A
concise yet thorough overview of the language's syntax and features
is presented, followed by an introduction to Tango, the popular
general-purpose library you'll find invaluable when building your D
applications.
Authored by prominent D developers Kris Bell, Lars Ivar Igesund,
Sean Kelly, and Michael Parker, this book supplies not only the
knowledge required to begin building your own D applications, but
also the insight these authors have acquired due to their extensive
experience working with and participating in the development of the
D language. What you'll learn Gain a solid understanding of the D
programming language and the companion Tango library. How to
leverage the open source Tango library to build robust
cross-platform applications. Why the combination of D and Tango can
be the best option for your next application. Who is this book
for?
Programmers wishing to learn more about the D language and the
Tango library.
Superbly photographed, this beautifully crafted volume presents
Cortina s most recent interior projects and unique furniture
pieces. Cortina s design inspirations range from Mayan artifacts to
cubism, twentieth-century modernist art and architecture, Mexico s
unique arts and crafts heritage, and natural and archaeological
environments. Her unique approach to design, shaped by the visions
of Mexican masters such as Diego Rivera and Luis Barragan, seeks to
consolidate European and modernist influences with Mexico s own
arts and crafts heritage in pieces characterized by luxurious
materials like tropical wood, stone, textured metal, and rich
textiles sourced both locally and worldwide. Her designs are known
for mixing Mexican antiquities, bespoke artisan-made pieces, and
contemporary artworks and for her exquisitely rendered and
sculptural pieces in bronze, obsidian, and quartz. This volume will
present Cortina s blend of Old World sophistication and Mexican
flair, which has affirmed her position as an arbiter of taste among
the country s elite; her aesthetic reflects the cosmopolitan nature
of contemporary life in Mexico. Cortina s recent projects range
from Cabo San Lucas vacation homes for tech and finance giants to a
new penthouse suite at the Sebastian resort in Vail, Colorado,
luxury apartments in New York, and monumental homes in Mexico City.

In a practice spanning nearly two decades, Jose Dávila has created
an expressive body of work that explores the visual tropes and
iconic symbols of art, architecture, and urban design. Initially
trained as an architect and self-educated as a visual artist,
Dávila creates sculptures, installations and photographic works
that simultaneously emulate, critique, and pay homage to
20th-century avant-garde art and architecture, referencing artists
and architects from Luis Barragán to Josef Albers and Donald Judd.
Humor and melancholy co-mingle in works that often explore the
tension between industrial and organic materials and the forces of
compression and balance. This monograph assesses the full scope of
Dávila’s practice in all media for the first time, and includes
texts attesting to the historical and social dimensions of
Dávila’s art. Essays address the artist’s early pieces, his
exercises on balance, sculpture, graphics and paintings, and his
works in public space.
A musical genre as tough and hard as the Canadian Shield. Canada
has produced many successful proponents of the genre known as heavy
metal, which grew out of the hard rock of the 1970s, exploded
commercially in the 1980s, and then petered out in the 1990s as
grunge took over, only to rise to prominence once again in the new
millennium. The road to Canadian musical glory is not lined with
the palm trees and top-down convertibles of the Sunset Strip. It is
a road slick with black ice, obscured by blizzards, and littered
with moose and deer that could cause peril for a cube van
thundering down a Canadian highway. Drawing on interviews with
original artists such as Helix, Anvil, Coney Hatch, Killer Dwarfs,
Harem Scarem, and Honeymoon Suite, as well as prominent
journalists, VJs, and industry insiders, we relive their
experiences, motivations, and lifestyles as they strove for that
most alluring of brass rings – the coveted record deal. It’s a
new perspective on the dreams of musicians shooting for an American
ideal of success and discovering a uniquely Canadian voice in the
process.

Anxiety sufferers, as well as the health professionals and loved
ones who support them, are often unaware of the extent of their
struggles. Family and friends misunderstand anxious people,
believing they are lazy or lack initiative. Patients seek treatment
for the symptoms of anxiety again and again, never addressing the
underlying reasons for their disorder. This book covers the
complexity of anxiety in everyday life, as well as its effect on
happiness and achievement, told through the experiences of anxiety
sufferers across life stages, from childhood through retirement
years. The author uses scientific literature and over forty years
of clinical experience to describe the major anxiety disorders and
to illuminate the scope of the condition's form and effects. For
anxiety sufferers, as well as their family members and medical
professionals, this book provides solutions for dealing with
anxiety before it becomes too overwhelming.
Recent educational reforms have promoted accountability systems
which attempt to identify teacher effects on student outcomes and
hold teachers accountable for producing learning gains. But in the
complex world of classrooms, it may be difficult to attribute
''success'' or ''failure'' to teachers. In this timely collection,
leading education scholars challenge market-based models of school
improvement and argue that merely holding teachers accountable for
scores on end-of-the-year exams will not lead to educational
improvement. The authors show why, in addition to test performance,
a close examination of instructional processes and school context
are needed in order to truly understand teacher effects and improve
learning in our nation's classrooms.
Imagine Yourself Well: Better Health through Self-Hypnosis is a
remarkable view of hypnotherapy as a scientifically recognized
treatment art. Based upon their extensive practice and clinical
research in therapeutic hypnotic techniques, the authors have
constructed an effective handbook articulating the therapeutic use
of hypnosis by depicting word-for-word what transpires during a
session. The fascinating series of carefully worded transcripts of
hypnotic exercises will enable the reader to correct specific
self-destructive habits (e.g., overeating and smoking), common
psychological problems (insomnia and various phobias), chronic
physical conditions (arthritis, back pain, high blood pressure, and
migraine headaches), and performance anxieties (athletics and
public speaking). The theory underlying clinical practice,
including the key point that all hypnosis involves self-hypnosis,
is explained in lay terms, and each exercise is grounded in sound
cognitive, behavioural, or psychodynamic principles.

When heroin-addicted call girl Elizabeth Lucy dies in a fall from a
swanky penthouse terrace, homicide detective Henderson is assigned
to the case. Was it murder? Suicide? Through his investigation,
Henderson uncovers a frightening underworld that is far more dark
and dangerous than those of prostitution and the drug trade. But
more than anything, this is Elizabeth’s story. Told through
flashbacks and those who knew her, a life unfolds that ends with a
struggle unlike any other. A masterful debut, The Pyx has earned
considerable praise in Canada and abroad. It served as the basis of
the feature film of the same name starring Karen Black and
Christopher Plummer. The Pyx was first published by in 1959 and for
three decades has enjoyed numerous translations and editions before
going out of print in the early ‘90s. This Ricochet Books edition
marks the first in a quarter-century.
