Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book presents the fundamentals of data structures from an object oriented perspective. The text uses C++, whose classes and object oriented constructs are specifically designed to efficiently implement data structures. The opening chapters introduce the ideas behind OOP and C++ and once the principles are explained, the book develops to deal with data structures and algorithms fom an OO point of view. All the standard data structures are described, including stacks, queues, sets, linked lists, trees and graphs. In addition to the algorithms dealing with these data structures, searching and sorting algorithms are also studied. A non-mathematical approach is adopted for the study of algorithm efficiency. Rather than derive analytic expressions for the number of steps taken by various alorithms, programs are written which count the number of steps and draw graphs of these numbers as functions of the size of the data sets being processed. The Graphs are then transformed to obtain the orders of the algorithms. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Biochemistry,Third Edition merges a classical organization and presentation with contemporary insight, information, and technology, to make modern biochemistry interesting and accessible to today's students. Thoroughly updated to include the latest information, perspectives, and experimental techniques, the text is now supported by integrated media resources designed by the co-author Kevin Ahern. Together, the text and media resources provide students and instructors with a doorway to the vast world of biochemistry that is continuously evolving and which greatly exceeds what could be covered in a conventional textbook alone. As in previous editions, the authors introduce nucleic acid structure early (to clarify presentations of protein structure and function), emphasize the experimental roots of biochemistry (past and present), continually emphasize the energy relationships in biochemistry, and take a stepwise approach to complex metabolic pathways. The result is a thorough grounding in biology at the atomic/molecular level. The explosive growth of biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology makes this approach particularly relevant for today's life science students.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Historically, all software projects have involved a certain degree of risk and pressure -- but many of the projects in today's chaotic business environment involve such intense pressure that they are referred to colloquially as "death-march" projects -- i.e., projects whose schedules are so compressed, and/or whose budgets, or resource (people) assignments are so constrained, that the only "obvious" way to succeed is for the entire team to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no vacations until the project is finished. While the corporate goal of such projects is to overcome impossible odds and achieve miracles, the personal goal of the project manager and team members often shrinks down to mere survival: keeping one's job, maintaining some semblance of a relationship with one's spouse and children, and avoiding a heart attack or ulcer.
