Thomas Russ, ” Site Planning and Design Handbook”

Landscape Architecture : Reviewed by Deborah Dalton, ASLA
…the book aims to cover site analysis; environmental assessment; grading; design for traffic control; open space design; project management issues, including permitting and quality assurance; historic landscapes; preserving trees; stormwater management; and materials specifications and standards. Russ makes a heroic effort to cover these topics and to provide an overview of landscape restoration and site layout as well as a compressed discussion of landscape and culture — all in 12 chapters and 560 pages.
…The four chapters on site analysis, site grading, street and parking lot design, and infrastructure include some good discussion and some useful new information about sustainable design. One particularly nice inclusion is the identification of standards and specifications from the American Society for Testing and Materials as well as other sources. Chapter 4, “Designing for People,” has a helpful section on designing pedestrian walkways and paving-material standards and specifications.

Site Planning and Design Handbook
Austria, Hungary, and the Habsburgs: Central Europe c.1683-1867
R. J. W. Evans, “Austria, Hungary, and the Habsburgs: Central Europe c.1683-1867″
Oxford University Press | ISBN 0199281440 | 2006 | PDF | 2 MB | 358 pages
This book address a number of interrelated themes over two hundred years and more in the political, religious, cultural, and social history of a broad but often neglected swathe of the European continent. It seeks - against the grain of conventional presentations - to apprehend the era from the later seventeenth to the later nineteenth century as a whole, and to demonstrate continuities, as well as casting light on key aspects of the evolution towards modern statehood and national awareness in Central Europe, and the crises of ancien-regime strucutres there in the face of new challenges at home and abroad.
Each of the essays - some of which specially written for this volume, and others available for the first time in English - is intended to be free-standing and accessible on its own; but they are also designed to fit together and demonstrate an overall coherence. Much attention is devoted to the Austrian or Habsburg lands, especially the interplay of the main territories which comprised them. A central issue here is the evolution of the kingdom of Hungary, from its full acquisition by the Habsburgs at the beginning of the period to the emergence of the dual Austro-Hungarian Monarchy at the end. But the chapters also range more broadly, both territorially and chronologically. Though much of the scholarship underpinning this masterly exploration may be unfamiliar to many readers, this is a an elegantly written and stimulating collection, which reflects the exploratory and individual character of the essay as a genre

Test Driven: TDD and Acceptance TDD for Java Developers
Test Driven: TDD and Acceptance TDD for Java Developers
Paperback: 470 pages
Publisher: Manning Publications (October 15, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1932394850
ISBN-13: 978-1932394856
In test driven development, you first write an executable test of what your application code must do. Only then do you write the code itself and, with the test spurring you on, you improve your design. In acceptance test driven development (ATDD), you use the same technique to implement product features, benefiting from iterative development, rapid feedback cycles, and better-defined requirements. TDD and its supporting tools and techniques lead to better software faster.
Test Driven brings under one cover practical TDD techniques distilled from several years of community experience. With examples in Java and the Java EE environment, it explores both the techniques and the mindset of TDD and ATDD. It uses carefully chosen examples to illustrate TDD tools and design patterns, not in the abstract but concretely in the context of the technologies you face at work. It is accessible to TDD beginners, and it offers effective and less well known techniques to older TDD hands.
What’s Inside
Learn hands-on to test drive Java code
How to avoid common TDD adoption pitfalls
Acceptance test driven development and the Fit framework
How to test Java EE components-Servlets, JSPs, and Spring Controllers
Tough issues like multithreaded programs and data access code

See MIPS Run, Second Edition
Paperback: 512 pages
Publisher: Morgan Kauffman; 2 edition (October 17, 2006)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0120884216
ISBN-13: 978-0120884216
This second edition is not only a thorough update of the first edition, it is also a marriage of the best-known RISC architecture—MIPS—with the best-known open-source OS—Linux. The first part of the book begins with MIPS design principles and then describes the MIPS instruction set and programmers resources. It uses the MIPS32 standard as a baseline (the 1st edition used the R3000) from which to compare all other versions of the architecture and assumes that MIPS64 is the main option. The second part is a significant change from the first edition. It provides concrete examples of operating system low level code, by using Linux as the example operating system. It describes how Linux is built on the foundations the MIPS hardware provides and summarizes the Linux application environment, describing the libraries, kernel device-drivers and CPU-specific code. It then digs deep into application code and library support, protection and memory management, interrupts in the Linux kernel and multiprocessor Linux.
Sweetman has revised his best-selling MIPS bible for MIPS programmers, embedded systems designers, developers and programmers, who need an in-depth understanding of the MIPS architecture and specific guidance for writing software for MIPS-based systems, which are increasingly Linux-based.
* Completely new material offers the best explanation available on how Linux runs on real hardware.
* Provides a complete, updated and easy-to-use guide to the MIPS instruction set using the MIPS32 standard as the baseline architecture with the MIPS64 as the main option.
* Retains the same engaging writing style that made the first edition so readable, reflecting the authors 20+ years experience in designing systems based on the MIPS architecture.
