Excellent Inspirational Regency...definitely worth reading
The Lady and the Cad is a compelling story wonderfully reflected in its title. If there was ever a true mismatch, the Earl of Sutton and Eunice were it. The author does a masterful job at showing Eunice's innocence and her love for the Lord. That, combined with the Earl's lost state and desire for something better than what he'd always settled for, created a compelling story. This romance novel is truly inspirational and a real page turner. Better even than the regency novels written by Lori Wick (of which I've read all,) I highly recommend this Heartsong title. The author truly has a voice suited to the Regency period and I haven't read a more intriguing tale written by a Christian author reflecting that stuffy era. :) ... Read more

Too simple
The book is well illustrated but very simpistic and covers too much of old drafting methods rather than "Sketch-Up". The Sketch-Up instructions included in the software cover all that is presented in the book. I would suggest that the potential book buyer first see if the included methods and instructions in the Sketch-Up tutorials might cover thier needs better and less expensively.

A great start ....
I own most, if not all, of Bob Lang's books - so I am a fan. This book was very useful for me; over 50, a degreed engineer but no drafting skills, able to do emails, spreadsheets (even simple vlook-ups) and not afraid of computers but nothing like my kids can do. All my woodworking sketches at best use a ruler and graph paper to get anything close to a straight line and rough dimensions. Always wanted to learn Sketch-up this past year but the on-line tutorial was not getting the job done. Bought Bob's book - Reviewed the basic drafting background was pretty straightforward but the section on Sketch-up had me creating a table that looked 10 times better than my previous 5 or 6 attempts. I recommend it highly. Only thought is that I could have used more info on Sketch-up to take me further along.

Dan Clowes fans take note
This is hipster fare for the most part, with a few amusing bits. There's a good Russ Meyer interview and some retro stuff about martinis and such. But the best part for me was the Dan Clowes comic of one of the more bawdy versions of "Frankie and Johnnie". It's one of his better "early" pieces. The lyrics are a hoot and you can really see that Clowes had a blast drawing it.

Very Cool, Nostalgic Humor
CAD is humorous, entertaining, and sexy. It is a manual/zine for the swinging bachelor. If you aspire to become a swinging bachelor, this is a good resource by which to model your behavior and style. I personally like the book for its entertainment value, cool pictures, and interesting stories. Very nice coffee table literature!!! ... Read more

Product Description
Since their introduction in 1984, Field-Programmable GateArrays (FPGAs) have become one of the most popular implementationmedia for digital circuits and have grown into a $2 billion per yearindustry. As process geometries have shrunk into the deep-submicronregion, the logic capacity of FPGAs has greatly increased, makingFPGAs a viable implementation alternative for larger and largerdesigns. To make the best use of these new deep-submicron processes,one must re-design one's FPGAs and Computer- Aided Design (CAD) tools.Architecture and CAD for Deep-Submicron FPGAs addresses severalkey issues in the design of high-performance FPGA architectures andCAD tools, with particular emphasis on issues that are important forFPGAs implemented in deep-submicron processes. Three factors combine to determine the performance of an FPGA: thequality of the CAD tools used to map circuits into the FPGA, thequality of the FPGA architecture, and the electrical (i.e.transistor-level) design of the FPGA. Architecture and CAD forDeep-Submicron FPGAs examines all three of these issues inconcert. In order to investigate the quality of different FPGA architectures,one needs CAD tools capable of automatically implementing circuits ineach FPGA architecture of interest. Once a circuit has beenimplemented in an FPGA architecture, one next needs accurate area anddelay models to evaluate the quality (speed achieved, area required)of the circuit implementation in the FPGA architecture under test.This book therefore has three major foci: the development of ahigh-quality and highly flexible CAD infrastructure, thecreation of accurate area and delay models for FPGAs, and the study ofseveral important FPGA architectural issues. Architecture and CAD for Deep-Submicron FPGAs is an essentialreference for researchers, professionals and students interested inFPGAs. ... Read more

Start here for today's place-and-route
This book derives from Vaughn Betz's doctoral dissertation. Despite that, it provides a clear and readable introduction for researchers in at least two areas of FPGA tools and implementation: tools and fabric.

This work is best known for the tools that Betz developed, including the Versatile (or was it Vaughn's?) Place and Route - VPR. Nearly a decade old now, VPR has achieved such iconic status that it appears twice in the SPEC 2000 benchmarks. VPR also seems to be the de facto starting point for nearly all current academic research in P&R. Chapters 3-4 of this book, following some introductory material, present the essence of Betz's research. When I say that it all unfolds in a logical, even obvious way, I don't mean to denigrate this work. Quite the opposite. Only a very fine mind and writer can make the subtle appear obvious, and even that statement disregards the huge amount of experimentation and CPU-months that went into proving that it is obvious.

The second half of the book's thesis lies outside of my central interests. Given groundbreaking tools for exploiting an FPGA's structure, a new question arises. Within the range of possible structures, which can most readily be exploited? At this writing, 3.5 Moore generations after this book was published, the answers are very different. The questions remain valid, however, as do Betz's means of answering them. Parameterized tools explore the space of parameterized structures.

Perhaps the sticker shock on this title will put some readers off - it certainly lead me to some fancy talking in convincing my department to get a copy. Compare the price to tuition you'd pay (if you could find a course) to acquire the same knowledge. Despite its age, this book's content underlies today's commercial P&R tools. If you're starting in the field, you must start here.

Product Description
This book deals with the basic and advanced theories of curves and surfaces and their applications in CAD/CAM. Throughout the book, the description is intended to give readers not only a clear theoretical foundation but also a comprehensive understanding of geometrical properties of shapes and their processing methods. For this purpose, new and powerful methods of free-form surface synthesis and evaluation are introduced that do not rely on unnecessarily complicated mathematics. The book is written for practical engineers who need to know about theories of curves and surfaces and their processing methods for the design and manufacture of engineering objects of high quality. Accordingly, though the various methods are systematically formalized, they are also graphically interpreted so that one can analyze problems just using pencil and paper with the help of the drawings. Many of the theories and methods described have been successfully applied in leading Japanese companies, and real examples are given to illustrate their role in the construction and utilization of integrated CAD/CAM systems. ...

Product Description
CAD Principles for Architectural Design is aimed at design students and practitioners interested in understanding how CAD is used in architectural practice. This book makes connections between the basic operations that are common to most CAD systems, and their use in practice on actual architectural design projects.




The ways in which CAD is integrated into the design processes of several leading edge practices is illustrated. Arising from these case studies is the emergence of a contemporary phenomenon of integrated CAD, in which all aspects of design schemes are brought together within computational frameworks that support the analysis of design proposals.

Szalapaj's view of CAD is one in which computers constitute a medium in which designers can express design ideas, rather than viewing computers as problem solving machines. For creative designers to successfully exploit CAD technology, CAD systems should reflect designers' intuitions as described by designers themselves



*Learn how to express your design ideas in CAD

Product Description
This econometric study covers the world outlook for CAD/CAM/CAE software across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for CAD/CAM/CAE software. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Cads," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Cads in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Cads when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Cads, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
