Digital Circuit Projects - An Overview of Digital Circuits Through Implementing Integrated Circuits
Charles W. Kann III · Gettysburg College
Digital circuits, often called Integrated Circuits or ICs, are the central building blocks of a Central Processing Unit (CPU). To understand how a computer works, it is essential to understand the digital circuits which make up the CPU. This text introduces the most important of these digital circuits; adders, decoders, multiplexers, D flip-flops, and simple state machines.

Business Calculus with Excel
Mike May, S.J. & Anneke Bart · Saint Louis University
This text is intended for a one semester calculus course for business students with the equivalent of a college algebra prerequisite. Rather than being a three-semester engineering calculus course that has been watered down to fit into one semester it is designed for the business students.

EQ: The Competitive Edge in Project Management
Ravi Ravikumar · De Anza College
The book introduces emotional intelligence at a practical level to project managers. People-related issues are the most unpredictable factor in any project, and the better equipped the project manager is, the better the chances of success. Students learn the value of emotional intelligence by reviewing over a dozen real-life case studies from inter- and intra-company projects. In a classroom setting, the case studies help create a collaborative learning experience through in-class interactions.

Building Information - Representation and Management
Alexander Koutamanis · Delft University of Technology
The book presents a coherent theory of building information, focusing on its representation and management in the digital era. It addresses issues such as the information explosion and the structure of analog building representations to propose a parsimonious approach to the deployment and utilization of symbolic digital technologies like BIM.

Irrigation Systems Management (AET 021)
Dean E. Eisenhauer, Derrel L. Martin, Derek M. Heeren, Glenn J. Hoffman · University of Nebraska Lincoln
Our goal is for the reader to understand the complexities of irrigation systems and how they are to be managed to meet the water needs of the crop production system. This is not an irrigation engineering design book; we have purposely minimized the presentation of design steps and the supporting equations. The intended audience of the book is upper-level undergraduate students and graduate in agricultural or natural resource sciences.
