This book was first released in 1980 by Harmony Books and the quality of the illustrations here is superior to the later Random House Value Publishing release. Red cloth over boards with gold print in a sewn binding; issued with dustjacket. 192 pp, 2.5 pounds. 163 color plates. After the images there is a 42 page catalogue raisonne which is certainly not as detailed as a catalogue raisonne found from an academic publisher, but which offers much helpful information.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a fast and flexible interface for connecting devices to computers. Every new PC has at least a couple of USB ports. The interface is versatile enough to use with standard peripherals like keyboards and disk drives as well as more specialized devices, including one-of-a-kind designs. USB is designed from the ground up to be easy for end users, with no user configuring required in hardware or software.In short, USB is very different from the legacy interfaces it's replacing. A USB device may use any of four transfer types and three speeds. On attaching to a PC, a device must respond to a series of requests that enable the PC to learn about the device and establish communications with it. In the PC, every device must have a low-level driver to manage communications between applications and the system's USB drivers. Developing a USB device and the software that communicates with it requires knowing something about how USB works and how the PC's operating system implements the interface. In addition, the right choice of contrailer chip, device class, and tools and techniques can go a long way inavoiding snags and simplifying what needs to be done. This book is a guide for developers of USB devices. Its purpose is to introduce you to USB and to help get your project up and running and troublefree as quickly and easily as possible.

The information age has created unparalleled opportunities for graphic designers to showcase their work across a variety of media. However, digital technology has often denied access to the deep color expertise that has been developed by generations of artists and designers working with physical media. Color Management is a unique, one-stop resource for designers and graphic artists in every field of visual communication, whether they are working in print, interactive, environmental, or web-based design.

This book's introduction features a humorous story of a man with a line of people behind him, who explains to his boss, "I can't find an efficient algorithm, but neither can all these famous people." This man illustrates an important quality of a class of problems, namely, the NP-complete problems: if you can prove that a problem is in this class, then it has no known polynomial-time solution that is guaranteed to work in general. This quality implies that the problem is difficult to deal with in practice.

What can 'globalisation' teach us about law in the Western tradition? This important new work seeks to explore that question by analysing key ideas and events in the Western legal tradition, including the Papal Revolution, the Protestant Reformations and the Enlightenment. Addressing the role of law, morality and politics, it looks at the creation of orders which offer the possibility for global harmony, in particular the United Nations and the European Union. It also considers the unification of international commercial laws in the attempt to understand Western law in a time of accelerating cultural interconnections. The title will appeal to scholars of legal history and globalisation as well as students of jurisprudence and all those trying to understand globalisation and the Western dynamic of law and authority.
