Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Plural predication is a pervasive part of ordinary language. We can say that some people are fifty in number, are surrounding a building, come from many countries, and are classmates. These predicates can be true of some people without being true of any one of them; they are non-distributive predications. Yet the apparatus of predication and quantification in standard modern logic does not allow a place for such non-distributive predicates. Thomas McKay's book explores the enrichment of modern logic with plural predication and quantification. We can have genuinely non-distributive predication without relying on singularizing procedures from set theory and mereology. The fundamental 'among' relation can be understood in a way that does not generate any hierarchy of plurals analogous to a hierarchy of types or a hierarchy of higher-order logics. Singular quantification can be understood as a special case, with the general type being quantifiers that allow both singular and plural quantification. The 'among' relation is formally similar to a 'part of' relation, but the relations are distinct, so that mass quantification and plural quantification cannot be united in the same way that plural and singular are united. Analysis of singular and plural definite descriptions follows, with a defense of a fundamentally Russellian analysis, but coupled with some new ideas about how to be sensitive to the role of context. This facilitates an analysis of some central features of the use of pronouns, both singular and plural.

Industry Standard FDSOI Compact Model BSIM-IMG for IC Design helps readers develop an understanding of a FDSOI device and its simulation model. It covers the physics and operation of the FDSOI device, explaining not only how FDSOI enables further scaling, but also how it offers unique possibilities in circuits. Following chapters cover the industry standard compact model BSIM-IMG for FDSOI devices. The book addresses core surface-potential calculations and the plethora of real devices and potential effects. Written by the original developers of the industrial standard model, this book is an excellent reference for the new BSIM-IMG compact model for emerging FDSOI technology. The authors include chapters on step-by-step parameters extraction procedure for BSIM-IMG model and rigorous industry grade tests that the BSIM-IMG model has undergone. There is also a chapter on analog and RF circuit design in FDSOI technology using the BSIM-IMG model.

"In a half-century of reviewing, I have never encountered a more sobering book than A Plea for Liberty."-- John Chamberlain, "Reason"This collection of essays was originally published in 1891, at a time when the modern welfare state was first taking shape. The theoretical and empirical contributions are fine examples of the classical liberal tradition in British thought.
