Theory of Literature

We must first make a distinction between literature and literary study. The two are distinct activities: one is creative, an art j the other, if not precisely a science, is a species of knowledge or of learning. There have been attempts, of course, to obliterate this distinction. For instance, it has been argued that one cannot understand literature unless one writes it, that one cannot and …

Core Animation for Mac OS X and the iPhone

Animation has been an important part of the Mac OS X user interface since the beginning. You’ve probably seen the Genie effect so many times that you hardly notice it anymore. But I still remember the first time I saw a QuickTime movie being minimized via Genie. The movie kept playing as the window shrank and distorted onto the Dock. That knocked my socks off. Or how about the first time yo…

Wireless LAN

Over the last 10 years, the impact of wireless communications on the way we live and do business has been surpassed only by the impact of the Internet. Cellular phones, pagers, and wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs) have become so com- monplace in our lives that it is easy to forget that 10 years ago, they were a rarity. But wireless communications technology is still in its infancy, a…

Confessions of an IT Manager

The true incidents I describe in the chapters that lie ahead are those that are intended to illustrate a point about working in IT. There are many such incidents that I cannot talk about because, in doing so, I would reveal my true identity. Many cannot be used because they are unrelated to the themes of …

Since the creation of MySpace and LinkedIn in 2003 and Facebook in 2004, online social networking has quickly become a pervasive way for people to connect and interact all over the world. A trend that largely began with students is now featured on the cover of AARP. Yet schools are one of the last holdouts, where many of the most popular social networking sites are often banned for students, a…

Concepts in Spin Electronics

Nowadays information technology is based on semiconductor and ferromagnetic materials. Information processing and computation are performed using electron charge by semiconductor transistors and integrated circuits, but on the other hand the information is stored on magnetic high-density hard disks by electron spins. Recently, a new branch of physics and nanotechnology, called magneto- electron…

MONETARY POLICY IN THE UK

We argue in this contribution that the institutional dimension of the Bank of England (BoE) monetary policy and the role the UK HM Treasury assumes in this framework are both firmly based on the New Consensus in Macroeconomics (NCM), a theoretical framework upon which also the Inflation Targeting policy element is firmly based. This paper discusses these aspects of the UK monetary policy, a…

Computers, Phones, and the Internet: Domesticating Information Technology

In the 20th century, new information technology has the potential to influence the lives of ordinary citizens as much as it has influenced business, edu- cation, and government. In many of the countries in Europe, North America, and Asia, the majority of individuals and households are using personal computers, the Internet, and mobile telephones. In the United States, this equipment is often re…

The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 is now seen as one of the most significant economic events in recent world history. The crisis began in early July 1997, when the Thai baht was floated, and spread into a virulent contagion—leaping from Thailand to South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. It led to severe currency depreciations and an economic recession that threatened to er…

Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age

Computer systems are coming of age. As computer systems become more prevalent, sophisticated, embedded in physical processes, and interconnected, society becomes more vulnerable to poor system design, accidents that disable systems, and attacks on computer systems. Without more responsible design and use, system disruptions will increase, with harmful consequences for society. They will also re…

THE A-Z OF MEDICAL WRITING

This book has not been written to be read – at least in the usual sense of starting at the beginning, ploughing on to the end, and then remembering (at best) one or two points. I have written it for a completely different purpose, which has come from my experiences over the past 10 years working with doctors and other health professionals to sort out a wide range of writing problems
