    Book Description

    Modelling is an activity that is found in every domain of research and science, and takes place even when we are not aware of it. The role of modelling and the quality of models are extremely important not only in engineering but for science in general.

    Modelling in Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics presents a model-centred approach focusing on distributed development and use of autonomous intelligent software models, particularly the efficiency of the models, and their interaction and integration into distributed autonomous intelligent systems. In order to systematise the available knowledge, a domain ontology is presented; a subset of which is used to create a modelling theory based on knowledge and experience in the areas of software engineering, mechanical engineering and mechatronics. This holistic view of modelling explains the purpose and the essence of modelling, as well as the benefits that are to be expected. It discusses the relations to other branches of engineering and science and as a result, it demonstrates strategies, methods and tools for unleashing the full power of modelling.

    Modelling in Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics considers the viewpoints of many different experts: the modeller, engineer, system architect, software developer, and users of the models and as such will be of interest to all these people. Moreover, it attempts to bridge the gaps between modelling, engineering, computer science, knowledge representation, software engineering, model integration, standardisation and production engineering. The aim is to instruct the reader how to efficiently simulate sophisticated products and processes in mechanical engineering in view of their continuously increasing complexity in a modern knowledge-based society.

              4 out of 5 stars Good book for the beginner and the experienced Whistler........2003-08-21

              I have read this book and have used it to teach people to whistle. I had the pleasure of receiving my copy from the author him self. David did a great job this is the book to learn how whistle. Unless you have a pro whistler handy to give private lessons. I am a two time Grand Champion Whistler this is the book to start with.

              2 out of 5 stars Out of Date.......2003-03-27

              This book comes with a RECORD! I haven't had a record player in a decade so the usefulness was limited. It could be terrific but without a record player I will never know.

              5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Excellent Book!.......1999-04-24

              Being a full time professional whistler, I was surprised at the excellent insight into the art shown by David Harp. He may not be a full time "pro" but you would never be able to tell it by reading this well done book.

              5 out of 5 stars Learn how to whistle, right here!.......1998-02-10

              For anyone that has even a passing interest in whistling, this book is a must-have. David Harp is an experienced teacher, and he covers everything: mouth physiology, music theory, techniques for improving your current whistling, and information on his favorite practitioners of this portable music. I consider myself an experienced whistler, and I learned a lot from this entertaining and enjoyable book.

              Rolling Stone has long been the "Gold Standard" for rock journalism. Any history of rock and roll that doesn't have Billy Joel or Bob Seger is all right by me. I need to update my copy right away! Great job, as usual, Rolling Stone!!!!!

              5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-01-04

              Bought this for my 16-year-old son, and he is studying it like I've never seen him study anything. It is a great way to educate our younger people on the beginnings of rock-n-roll, and every day, my son says "Mom, did you know that..." and shares some new thing he learned from the book. Very complete reference guide, also, and interesting to look through even for an old fogey like me. Worth every penny.

              4 out of 5 stars The must have for basic rock review.......2006-03-19

              While the "history" is mostly a series of editorial reviews combined with facts, you will learn about the basics and some interesting tidbits as well. It's also a great way to have comprehensive listing of all of an artist's released music.

              3 out of 5 stars We Didn't Start the Fire.......2006-02-06

              The reason Rolling Stone leaves out artists like Billy Joel, Three Dog Night and Bob Seagar is because they are nowhere near the top echelon of rock and roll artists. The reason they heap praise on the Rolling Stones is because the Rolling Stones are the greatest rock band in the history of the genre. And the reason the Beatles get two chapters is because no other artist has had as much impact on rock and roll music as the Beatles. Get real, people!

                Book Description

                Since the game Tomb Raider was first released in 1996, its protagonist Lara Croft has become an international celebrity. The virtual archaeologist-adventuress has been featured in various sequels to the original game, a line of action figures, two Hollywood films starring Angelina Jolie, forty comic books, a series of novels, and a variety of clothing, merchandise, and ephemera. She has appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek, spawned innumerable Internet fan sites and a library of adulatory fan fiction, become a pornographic sex symbol, and even inspired a look-alike beauty pageant. Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky's groundbreaking study examines Lara Croft as a cyber heroine - a female body ubiquitously inhabited by game players, an icon of both female strength and male objectification, and the virtual future of fame. Despite Croft's prominence there have been few critical inquiries into her bridging of the boundary between virtual and real worlds or the extent to which she reflects and influences the image of women in digital media. First published in German and revised for this English-language edition, this book is an innovative analysis of the multimedia heroine, tracing the top-down marketing strategies and bottom-up frenzy that precipitated the Lara Croft phenomenon. For girls and women, Croft is a symbol of empowerment, a tough and self-assured riot grrl who has opened up the overwhelmingly masculinized world of computer gaming to female participants. At the same time, she personifies both heterosexual male fantasies and the twinned processes of globalization and cultural imperialism. Drawing on feminist and cultural studies, Deuber-Mankowsky sees Croft as symptomatic of the new media environment and its tendency to erase all qualitative difference, even sexual difference.

                5 out of 5 stars Examining her image of female strength and tracking marketing strategies which have supported this image.......2005-11-08

                Actress Lara Croft has been a celebrity since the 1996 movie Tomb Raider, and has enjoyed a line of appearances in everything from film to comic books and novels, since. Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky's Lara Croft: Cyber Heroine takes a different approach from the usual biographical sketch, examining her image of female strength and tracking marketing strategies which have supported this image. Cultural and social analysis contribute to a study not just of Croft's achievement and image, but of the new media's representation of the powerful yet sexual woman figure as a whole.

                This book is a must have for any fan of Demon the Fallen. Rules for designing apocalyptic forms are fully written out as are the purpose that each of the apocalyptic forms played in creation. There are many other highly usefull things in this book...but I won't list them all. This book is very helpful for anyone who needs help, or wants rules for truely customizing their character. This book also has suprisingly few typos for a White Wolf book.

                I like his players guide just as I like all White Wolf products. The Players Guide puts out a lot of good information and gives a beter understanding of te "how" and more importantly the "why" of the game. If your into the White Wol universe ad are going to use "The Fallen" as antagoist (I love them for my HUNTER seesions, my players are puzzled as they haven't goten online with Demon yet) get this book!

                  The World Needs Heroes.... The DemonWars Saga is a grand tale of adventure and intrigue, one that takes place on the fantastic world of Corona. But Corona is not your typical fantasy world. Among the goblins and giants and demons that populate the evil armies are Bloody Cap Dwarves, cruel creatures that take pleasure in inflicting as much pain and suffering as they can. And the forces of good, led by the Abellican Church, struggle more to control the world than to destroy the armies of evil. Now, more than ever, Corona needs heroes. Heroes to take up the cause and heroes to face the darkness. The DemonWars Player's Guide includes three new Player Character races, a dozen new classes and prestige classes, and a host of new gems, magical items and creatures native to the world of Corona, giving players and game masters more options and more choices in their adventures across Corona. Additionally, a section dedicated to the DemonWars: Trial by Fire limited series comic gives everyone a new and different look at this unique world of adventure!

                  3 out of 5 stars Good for the easier difficulties, but could be better.......2006-04-11

                  I was rather disappointed by this book. I expected good advice, and helpful walkthroughs. The walkthroughs were ok, if you are playing on Easy. The maps of the single-player and multiplayer levels were good. The "helpful" tips section would only really be useful for someone who has never played a FPS before, with gems like "if you move around, you are a tougher target". It does have nice sections about the vehicles, weapons, multiplayer maps, and gametypes. The walkthrough itself is only useful on Easy or maybe Normal. If you are trying to beat Legendary, this is not the book for you. Go buy Halo 2 instead.

                  4 out of 5 stars Prima's "Halo" Strategy Guide.......2005-10-13

                  This guide is helpful for some stages in the game,(one must bare in mind that the guide is written for Xbox; control references are for Xbox), but I found that the pictures are a bit dark. All in all it is still useful for the novice RPG player.

                  I am a bad (as in unable to find my way out of a paper sack) gamer. I need books like this to help me get through even the simplest of levels. I need this book. I like this book. Need I say more.

                  1 out of 5 stars No Reason To Get It.......2005-04-17

                  Wow. Who'd be dumb enough to buy this when you could go to bungie.net and look at the walkthrough there? Even on Legendary Halo's not that hard.

                  5 out of 5 stars KICK ASS.......2004-11-21

                  rocked me to my core. this game has kept me glued to the tv screen for a year and i don't plan on leaving. highly recommended!!!

                  4 out of 5 stars HALO 3 vs HALO 2 piggyback guide book.......2007-10-03

                  This guide is well written and put together in a fairly logical order. But allot of the higher end details that made the HALO 2 guide great are not included this time around. Bungie (I.E. Microsoft) told/gave prima only the material they wanted exposed. So for the whole story you may need to look else wheres. But for great maps and detailed level layouts that will keep you up to speed until the downloadable content comes out, then look no further.

                  5 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars: A Good Guide Overall.......2007-09-25

                  There isn't so much complexity, nor are there really a handful of secrets in Halo 3 which require you to actually use a guide. That shouldn't suggest a guide is bad, though. It's a great guide, just not one you'll find yourself in dire need of. However, for what you get you'll more than likely be pleased. It's a very well designed guide and is very well organized. There's a lot of content to swallow but at least the guide is organized and easy to use. Just don't be surprised if you spend a bit more time reading it instead of playing the game.

                  This guide actually begins with a foreward that explains what you'll find in the guide. Noting that it won't spend a lot of time on the basics and that they really did want to design a good guide. They succeed... almost too well because this is certainly an exhaustive guide. Don't let the size fool you, this is far more detailed than any guide I've ever seen.

                  Halo 3 doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel. In fact, it plays almost exactly like Halo 2 did. For that the basics section of this guide spends a little too much time reiterating what Halo fans already know. At least it doesn't spend too much time here and if you are new to Halo it'll get you acquainted with the game. In the basics it'll go over basic controls and how to control vehicles and such. Again, nothing veterans will need, but it is good for beginners to take a look here.

                  The Campaign is where this guide gets interesting. Many strategy guides out there simply focus on one difficulty level: Normal. That's not the case with Piggyback Interactive's guide. This walkthrough has been designed for all difficulty levels. The way they organized it is how it succeeds in doing this. Each section begins with a map. These maps are basically from a birds eye view of the level. They point out weapons, enemy packs etc. for you.

                  However, the layout is what's interesting. On the map they point out what you should do at each spot. It's brief and to the point. These call outs on the maps are for those going through Easy and Normal. On the facing page is where they give you a ton of detail for what to do on Legendary. Things to do on Legendary are also called out on the map but in the A, B, C format established in other guides. So if you see "A" on the map, look on the facing page at what to do. The walkthrough is designed to help with all the difficulty levels but written with the assumption that you'll be playing through Legendary. Needless to say you can easily use the Legendary tips for the lower difficult levels.

                  For the gamer who fears spoilers, the walkthrough in all its detailed glory is spoiler free. There's a lot of reading, but it makes sure not to tell you about the story. It also will debrief you after each chapter of the campaign.

                  The extras chapter is a different story. It doesn't spoil anything, but it is meant to be read only after you've completed the campaign. Here it'll tell you more about Legendary Mode and give you tips. It also talks about the skulls. However, Bungie would not let the authors of the guide reveal the location of the skulls. You know which mission it can be found in but not where in the mission. That doesn't stop them from revealing the effects of the skulls.

                  There's also a bestiary, info on vehicles and most useful of all, talking about the Score System and the list of achievements. For the score system they also provide great tips to reach the score needed to net yourself achievements.

                  There is then a huge section of the guide dedicated to multiplayer. Most of this is just showing you maps of the area and providing tips, but they talk briefly about co-op here and they also talk about all the different modes and all the weapons you can get as well. The last thing they mention here is about Forging. It's another section that is generally brief, only helping you to get the basic feel of it.

                  It's an exhaustive guide, but a good one. You might find yourself a little exhausted with information at times, but at least you know its all there.
