Mastering ArcGIS (Seventh Edition)
by Maribeth PriceMastering ArcGIS is a detailed primer on learning the ArcGIS software. This book is designed to offer everything you need to master the basic elements of GIS. This seventh edition includes strengthening the data management content and places more emphasis on managing and compiling GIS data, as well as writing metadata. Students these days know less about basic computer file system concepts and they need more background and instruction to work effectively with GIS data. The author has added a new chapter on GIS data management to cover these concepts, and reorganized the chapters to cover data management first, which appears to be the way most instructors like to structure their courses. Metadata is more strongly emphasized throughout, first as the simple Item Description and later as standards-based metadata.

Fundamentals Of Digital Logic With Verilog Design
by Stephen Brown Zvonko VranesicFundamentals of Digital Logic With Verilog Designteaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples. Use of CAD software is well integrated into the book. The CAD software provides automatic mapping of a design written in Verilog into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs). Students will be able to try, firsthand, the book's Verilog examples (over 140) and homework problems. Engineers use Quartus CAD for designing, simulating, testing and implementing logic circuits. The version included with this text supports all major features of the commercial product and comes with a compiler for the IEEE standard Verilog language. Students will be able to: enter a design into the CAD system compile the design into a selected device simulate the functionality and timing of the resulting circuit implement the designs in actual devices (using the school's laboratory facilities) Verilog is a complex language, so it is introduced gradually in the book. Each Verilog feature is presented as it becomes pertinent for the circuits being discussed. To teach the student to use the Quartus CAD, the book includes three tutorials.

One Simple Idea: Turn Your Dreams into a Licensing Goldmine While Letting Others Do the Work
by Stephen KeyFor as long as you can remember, you've had a dream. You've longed to see your product idea come to fruition so you never have to work for anyone else again. Stephen Key has been living this dream for 30 years. The developer of such lucrative products as Michael Jordan's WallBall®, the Spinformation® rotating label, and HotPicks® guitar picks, he knows better than anyone how to make a great living as an entrepreneur. Key develops ideas for new products, licenses them out, collects royalty checks, and doesn't look back. You can do it, too. All you need is One Simple Idea. In this book, Key reveals the secrets that helped him and thousands of his students--including bestselling author Tim Ferriss--turn their creativity into a passive income generator by "renting" an idea to a company, which takes care of R&D, production, marketing, sales, accounting, distribution, and everything else you don't want to do. You'll be amazed at how simple the process of licensing an idea for profit actually is. Key explains how to: * Keep your ideas safe--without spending time and money on a patent * Be your own boss--without formally opening a business * See your product go to market--without footing a dime in expenses * Make potentially big money--without quitting your day job The age-old business assumption that ideas must come from within organizations has been shattered. From global corporations to small businesses, companies have become so confident in outside entrepreneurs that licensing is now a $500 billion industry. Businesses need "freelancers" like Key--and you--to provide creative, marketable ideas for new offerings. With One Simple Idea, there's no prototyping, no patents, and, best of all, no risk. You can make the system work for you--rather than the other way around. Stephen Key has successfully licensed more than 20 simple ideas that have generated billions of dollars of revenue.
