Book Description
The publication of Herrnstein and Murray's The Bell Curve enraged readers with its contention that certain groups of children are genetically unable to learn because of their race and, therefore, unworthy of the educational attention and financial resources that flow from governments. In Measured Lies, the first thoughtful and reasoned reading of The Bell Curve, Joe Kincheloe, Shirley Steinberg and Aaron Gresson have assembled a group of the most well-respected educators and social theorists writing today to provide responses to Herrnstein and Murray's racial and intellectual agenda: Henry Giroux, Michael Apple, Theresa Perry, Houston Baker, Christine Sleeter, Sander Gilman, William F. Pinar, Deborah Britzman, Donaldo Macedo, Stephen Haymes, Ronald Rochon, Peter McLaren, Ladi Semali, Cameron McCarthy, Yvonna S. Lincoln, Molefi Asante, Joyce King, Sonja Nieto, Warren Crichlow, Linda Meyers and Francine Hultgren. In addition to these original essays, Measured Lies contains interviews with Paolo Freires, Ellen Willis, and Stanley Aronowitz.

Book Description
Providing an introduction to good engineering practice for electrical and electronic engineers, this book is intended for first- and second-year undergraduate courses. It deals with engineering practice in relation to important topics such as reliability and maintainability, heat management and parasitic electrical effects, environmental influences, testing and safety. The coverage encompasses the properties, behaviour, fabrication and use of materials and components used in the fields of computing, digital systems, instrumentation, and control. The second edition has been revised extensively to reflect advances in technology, with new material on insulation-displacement jointing and electrical-safety testing.

Book Description
This book presents a mathematical programming approach to the analysis of production frontiers and efficiency measurement. The authors construct a variety of production frontiers, and by measuring distances to them are able to develop a model of efficient producer behaviour and a taxonomy of possible types of departure from efficiency in various environments. Linear programming is used as an analytical and computational technique in order to accomplish this. The approach developed is then applied to modelling producer behaviour. By focusing on the empirical relevance of production frontiers and distances to them, and applying linear programming techniques to artificial data to illustrate the type of information they can generate, this book provides a unique study in applied production analysis. It will be of interest to scholars and students of economics and operations research, and analysts in business and government.

Book Description
Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of 'great originality and power', this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now legendary doctrine of 'falsificationism' electrified the scientific community, influencing even working scientists, as well as post-war philosophy. This astonishing work ranks alongside The Open Society and Its Enemies as one of Popper's most enduring books and contains insights and arguments that demand to be read to this day.
