The World of Indigenous North America

The World of Indigenous North America is a comprehensive look at issues that concern indigenous people in North America. Though no single volume can cover every tribe and every issue around this fertile area of inquiry this book takes on the fields of law archaeology literature socio-linguistics geography sciences and gender studies among others in order to make sense of the Indigenous experience. Covering both Canada's First Nations and the Native American tribes of the United States and alluding to the work being done in indigenous studies through the rest of the world the volume reflects the critical mass of scholarship that has developed in Indigenous Studies over the past decade and highlights the best new work that is emerging in the field. The World of Indigenous North America is a book for every scholar in the field to own and refer to often.

Demand and Supply

First published in 1971 Demand and Supply is an introduction to the economics of resource allocation often known as micro-economics. Ralph Turvey examines how the economy really works and does not just give the economists’ textbook version which oversimplifies technology and exaggerates the importance of prices in adjusting supply and demand. Instead of offering theoretical diagrams and imaginary examples he refrains from expounding those ideas that cannot be simply demonstrated or applied. But he includes sections on retail margins urban land values and the value of time – topics rarely dealt with in beginner’s books. Some examples of the examples are: university teachers’ pay; cotton spinning costs; pricing of tin cans; demand for farm tractors; newspaper economics; competition in the bus industry. This is the kind of economics used in practice and rests on down to earth fact finding. This book will be useful for both general readers and A- level and first year university students.

Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Data communication standards are comprised of two components: The “protocol” and “Signal/data/port specifications for the devices involved”. The protocol describes the format of the message and the meaning of each part of the message. To connect any device to the bus an external device must be used as an interface which will put the message in a form which fulfills all the electrical specifications of the port. These specifications are called the “Standard”. The most famous such serial communication standard is the RS-232. In IT technology Communication can be serial or parallel. Serial communication is used for transmitting data over long distances. It is much cheaper to run the single core cable needed for serial communication over a long distance than the multicore cables that would be needed for parallel communication. It is the same in wireless communication: Serial communication needs one channel while parallel needs multichannel. Serial Communication can also be classified in many other ways for example synchronous and asynchronous; it can also be classified as simplex duplex and half duplex. Because of the wide spread of serial communication from home automation to sensor and controller networks there is a need for a very large number of serial communication standards and protocols. These have been developed over recent decades and range from the simple to the highly complicated. This large number of protocols was necessary to guarantee the optimum performance for the targeted applications. It is important for communication engineers to have enough knowledge to match the right protocol and standard with the right application. The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with that knowledgeThe book also provides the reader with detailed information about:- Serial Communication- Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)- Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - eSPI- Universal Serial Bus (USB)- Wi-Fi- WiMax- InsteonThe details of each technology including specification operation security related matters and many other topics are covered. The book allocates three chapters to the main communication standards. These chapters cover everything related to the most famous standard RS-232 and all its variants. Other protocols such as: I2C CAN ZigBee Z-Wave Bluetooth and others are the subject of the authors separate book “Microcontroller and Smart Home Networks”. | Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Communication Theory

Communication is the most complex and elevating achievement of human beings. Most people spend up to 70 percent of our waking hours engaged in some form of communication. Listening and responding to the messages of others occupies much of this time; the rest is taken up by talking reading and writing. An additional consideration is the rich assortment of nonverbal cues humans share which also constitute a form of communication. All together the stream of verbal and nonverbal information that bombards our senses is composed of as many as 2 000 distinguishable units of interaction in a single day. The kinds of interaction change constantly: morning greetings cereal labels bus signs charts traffic lights hate stares graffiti coffee shop chat gestures laughter and head nods: The themes are endless. All of this constitutes subject matter for the study of communication. The book seeks to acquaint students with a basic understanding of the process of human communication. The breadth and scope of subject matter is adaptable to a number of approaches to the first course in communication whether theoretical practical contemporary or traditional in orientation. The framework of this book introduces five topics of central interest to the field of communication theory. Part I describes the process of communication as it unfolds in face-to-face environments. Part II considers the symbolic significance of interpersonal behavior. Part III examines the organization of communicative acts and shows why human interactions tend to become more synchronous over time. Part IV explores the complex problem of understanding other people demonstrating the tendency of understanding to become intersubjective. Part V accounts for the communicative significance of several basic human environments-communities organizations media institutions and culture.

Investigating Human Error Incidents Accidents and Complex Systems Second Edition

In this book the author applies contemporary error theory to the needs of investigators and of anyone attempting to understand why someone made a critical error how that error led to an incident or accident and how to prevent such errors in the future. Students and investigators of human error will gain an appreciation of the literature on error with numerous references to both scientific research and investigative reports in a wide variety of applications from airplane accidents to bus accidents to bonfire disasters. Based on the author's extensive experience as an accident investigator and instructor of both aircraft accident investigation techniques and human factors psychology it reviews recent human factors literature summarizes major transportation accidents and shows how to investigate the types of errors that typically occur in high risk industries. It presents a model of human error causation influenced largely by James Reason and Neville Moray and relates it to error investigations with step-by-step guidelines for data collection and analysis that investigators can readily apply as needed. This second edition of Investigating Human Error has been brought up to date throughout with pertinent recent accidents and safety literature integrated. It features new material on fatigue distraction (eg mobile phone and texting) and medication use. It also now explores the topics of corporate culture safety culture and safety management systems. Additionally the second edition considers the effects of the reduction in the number of major accidents on investigation quality the consequences of social changes on transportation safety (such as drinking and driving cell phone use etc) the contemporary role of accident investigation and the effects of the prosecution of those involved in accidents. | Investigating Human Error Incidents Accidents and Complex Systems Second Edition
