Ale Beer and Brewsters in England Women's Work in a Changing World 1300-1600
Women brewed and sold most of the ale drunk in medieval England, but after 1350, men slowly took over the trade. By 1600, most brewers in London -- as well as in many towns and villages -- were male, not female. This award-winning book investigates this transition, asking how, when, and why brewing ceased to be a women's trade and became a trade of men. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 460843828

The New Oxford Book of Sixteenth-Century Verse
The sixteenth century has long been acknowledged the 'Golden Age' of English verse--with such names as Shakespeare, Donne, and Spenser to its credit it could hardly be otherwise. Yet this anthology, which includes both undisputed masterpieces and achievements in hitherto neglected fields, is the first to reveal the full range and diversity of the century's poetic riches. What emerges is the most complete picture available of the poetic vitality of the sixteenth century. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461123998

Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands
No autobiography by an Afro-American woman of the nineteenth century defies classification more than Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857). A free-born Jamaican, evidently well protected from the tentacles of slavery, Mary Jane Grant Seacole did not write her narrative expressly to advance the cause of antislavery, as so many Afro-American women autobiographers did during her era. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461124208

Design by Contract by Example
Design by contract is an underused--but powerful--aspect of the object-oriented software development environment. With roots in the Eiffel programming language, it has withstood the test of time, and found utility with other programming languages. Here, by using both the Eiffel and Java languages as guidance, Design by Contract, by Example paves the way to learning this powerful concept. Through the following six teverying principles, the authors demonstrate how to write effective contracts and supporting guidelines. Readers will learn how to: Separate queries from commands Separate basic queries from derived queries Write a postcondition for every derived query that specifies what result can be returned Write a postcondition for every command that specifies the value of every basic query Decide on a suitable precondition for every query and command Write invariants to define unchanging properties of objects Contracts are built of assertions, which are used to express preconditions, postconditions and invariants. Using the above principles, the authors provide a frank discussion of the benefits, as well as the potential drawbacks, of this programming concept. Insightful examples from both the Eiffel and Java programming languages are included, and the book concludes with a summary of design by contract principles and a cost-benefit analysis of their applications. Design by Contract, by Example is the first book of its kind to offer an example-based approach to learning this important paradigm. If you are a developer seeking a way to improve your craft, this book will give you the necessary understanding of the concepts of contracts in software design. 0201634600B08142001 - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461631519
