Administration of Physical Education and Sports Programs
This text presents a good balance between theory and practice that is perfect for undergraduates. Topics are addressed with remarkable clarity, as the book encompasses all the timely issues of today while not forgetting the history of administration and management. From the management functions in sport and physical education to individual chapters dedicated to facilities planning, finances, risk management to the more humanistic topics of public relations, communication and law, this text covers the broad range of topics discussed most administration courses. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461110459

Perspectives on Hci Diverse Approaches
The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) has attracted researchers with interests as diverse as formal mathematics, ethnography, cognitive psychology and conversation analysis. Each approach comes with different assumptions and perspectives on the practical problem of designing more effective systems. Perspectives on HCI will be essential reading for students and researchers in computer science, psychology, human factors and sociology who want to know how other disciplines approach the practical problem of making computers into more effective tools for people to use. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461505990

Understanding Pictures
There are not one but many ways to picture the worldAustralian 'x-ray' pictures, cubist collages, Amerindian split-style figures, and pictures in two-point perspective every draw attention to different features of what they represent. The premise of Understanding Pictures is that this diversity is the central fact with which a theory of figurative pictures must reckon. Lopes argues that identifying pictures' subjects is akin to recognizing objects whose appearances have changed over the time. He develops a scheme for categorizing the different ways pictures represent - the different kinds of meaning they have - and he contends that depiction's epistemic value lies in its representational diversity. He also offers a novel account of the phenomenology of pictorial experience, comparing pictures to visual prostheses like mirrors and binoculars. The book concludes with a discussion of works of art which have made pictorial meaning their theme, demonstrating the importance of the issues this book raises for understanding the aesthetics of pictures. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461717929

An Introduction to Atmospheric Physics
This book is addressed to those who wish to understand the relationship between atmospheric phenomena and the nature of matter as expressed in the principles of physics. The interesting atmospheric phenomena are more than applications of gravitation, of thermodynamics, of hydrodynamics, or of electrodynamics; and mastery of the results of controlled experiment and of the related theory alone does not imply an understanding of atmospheric phenomena. This distinction arises because the extent and the complexity of the atmosphere permit effects and interactions that are entirely negligible in the laboratory or are deliberately excluded from it. the objective of laboratory physics is, by isolating the relevant variables, to reveal the fundamental properties of matter; whereas the objective of atmospheric physics, or of any observational science, is to understand those phenomena that are characteristic of the whole system. For these reasons the exposition of atmospheric physics requires substantial extensions of classical physics. It also requires that understanding - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461110942

Postharvest Handling
Postharvest Handling: A Systems Approach introduces a new concept in the handling of fresh fruits and vegetable. Traditional treatments have been either physiologically based with an emphasis on biological tissue or technologically based with an emphasis on storage and handling. This book integrates all processes from production practices through consumer consumption with an emphasis on understanding market forces and providing fresh product that meets consumer expectations. Postharvest physiologists and technologists across the disciplines of agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, food science and horticulture along with handlers of minially-processed products within the fresh produce fruit and vegetable processing industries will find this to be an invaluable source of information. * * Uses a systems approach that provides a unique perspective on the handling of fresh fruits and vegetables * Designed with the applied perspective to complement the more basic perspectives provided in other treatments * Provides the integrated, interdisciplinary perspective needed in research to improve the quality of fresh and minimally processed products * Emphasizes that the design of handling systems should be market-driven rather than concentrating on narrow specifics - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461111108

Quantum Semiconductor Structures
In its original form, this widely acclaimed primer on the fundamentals of quantized semiconductor structures was published as an introductory chapter in Raymond Dingle's edited volume (24) of Semiconductors and Semimetals. Having already been praised by reviewers for its excellent coverage, this material is now available in an updated and expanded 'student edition.' This work promises to become a standard reference in the field. It covers the basics of electronic states as well as the fundamentals of optical interactions and quantum transport in two-dimensional quantized systems. This revised student edition also includes entirely new sections discussing applications and one-dimensional and zero-dimensional systems. Key Features * Available for the first time in a new, expanded version * Provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals and fascinating applications of quantized semiconductor structures - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461111139

Optical Sources Detectors and Systems
This text will be of interest to students, researchers, and systems engineers. The fundamentals of blackbody radiation, lasers, and optical detectors are developed in a unified manner and used for a quantitative formulation of measurement precision, communication and radar error rates, and imaging system sensitivity. The treatment includes a thorough explanation of photon, Johnson, and amplifier noise, as well as noise in avalanche photodiodes and optical amplifiers. Detector properties from D(asterisk) to RA product are defined and explained. Optical system concepts such as focal length, f number, field-of-view, and aperture area are then utilized to establish performance capability for both direct and heterodyne systems. Numerous examples and problems cover such diverse topics as medical thermography and laser speed detectors. This book emphasizes the basics and provides ample references to more detailed treatments and specific applications. - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461716669
