This book is bursting with inspirational images, tips and ideas. Sixteen contemporary projects are covered in useful step-by-step tutorials. There is a detailed chapter dedicated solely to the different techniques you will need to know in order to make a fabric lampshade for yourself--techniques such as creating a soft-sided lampshade using just hand stitching, or hand stitching and glue, machine stitching, using laminated PVC to create a drum lampshade, pleating, and creating balloon linings. At the end of the book there is a hugely useful resources section and a visual feast for the eyes: several pages of nothing but beautiful lampshade. Read on, learn how, and let your imagination run wild.

Enjoy the wonder of Christmas with a thankful heart.

Bent Functions: Results and Applications to Cryptography offers a unique survey of the objects of discrete mathematics known as Boolean bent functions. These maximal, nonlinear Boolean functions and their generalizations have many theoretical and practical applications in combinatorics, coding theory, and cryptography. This book provides a detailed survey of their main results. It presents a systematic overview of their generalizations and applications, and considers open problems in classification and systematization of bent functions. Appropriate for novices as well as advanced researchers, this book discusses proofs of several results, such as automorphism group of bent functions, lower bound for the number of bent functions, and more.

• Systematic and detailed survey of hundreds of results in the area of highly nonlinear Boolean functions in cryptography
• Appropriate coverage for students new to the topic through advanced specialists in cryptography and mathematics and creators of ciphers

In the end, it will be okay because God is always with us.
