Accompanying one of the most anticipated exhibitions of the past few years, this catalogue captures the grand scale and vibrant color of Hockney's work of the twenty-first century. In the past decade, having returned to England after years on the California coast, David Hockney has focused his attention on both landscapes and portraits, all the while maintaining his fascination with digital technology. The resulting work is a fanfare of color and light, ranging in dimension from billboard- to letter-size, and is the basis for a thrilling new exhibition that promises to become one of the most popular in recent memory. This lush and impeccably produced catalogue features over 100 full-color works of art from museum collections and Hockney's private studio, including such major new works as The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate Wood, The Bigger Message, and Bigger Yosemite. It also includes multiple-image galleries (spread over gatefolds) of some of his iPad drawings and self-portraits, plus film stills from the artist's 'Cubist' movies. Hockney's own insight into this latest chapter of his career is found across the book's pages and is accompanied by thoughtful commentary by renowned critic Lawrence Weschler and art historian Sarah Howgate.

With the abundance of conflicting advice out there, it's easy to see why people struggle with dieting. Dieters want clarity, they want to be told what to do. Women's Health contributing editor and author of The O2 Diet and The Slim Calm Sexy Diet Keri Glassman gives readers the be-all-end-all: 8 simple rules to lose the weight for good.

While what we eat is very important (and The 8 Rules Diet includes a step-by-step, 8-week meal plan, full of real foods that are nutrient dense and antioxidant rich) —that's just one part of a successful weight-loss strategy. Keri walks readers through the other all-important rules to get stronger, calmer, healthier, more balanced and yes, thinner.

Each rule is connected to and supports the others. The more you sleep, the more energy you have at the gym, the more weight you lose. The more you choose nutrient-dense food, the more focused your workouts become, the deeper you sleep. Using common-sense wisdom and easy, practical application, The 8 Rules Diet shows you how to make connections between these rules to totally reset your body's compass. Including a cleanse to jumpstart the diet, detailed menus, recipes, and tons of simple tips to stay on track, Keri walks readers through the only 8 rules they'll ever need to know to find their best body ever.

8 year old Nancy Drew decides to build a model of a volcano for her science project. Best friends George (Georgia) Fayne and a gungho Bess Marvin arrive to help. But, the next day, their teacher Mrs. Ramirez opens the door to find all the volcanoes missing. Why are they missing? Is it an actual crime or a prank? And who did it? Nancy Drew, with the help of Bess and George, is on the case!

There is something terribly wrong with Fairy Godmother's magic wand and she needs help to make Cinderella's royal wedding perfect! Every little girl will enjoy following the prompts on each page to know when to wave their own magic wand to help the fairy godmother decorate the wedding cake, create Cinderella's dress, and so much more. With lights and music on the wand, girls will feel as though they are truly creating magic to make Cinderella's wedding a dream come true!

Digital Design and Computer Architecture

Second Edition

David Money Harris and Sarah L. Harris

'Harris and Harris have taken the popular pedagogy from Computer Organization and Design down to the next level of refinement, showing in detail how to build a MIPS microprocessor in both Verilog and VHDL. Given the exciting opportunity that students have to run large digital designs on modern FGPAs, the approach the authors take in this book is both informative and enlightening.'

-David A. Patterson, University of California at Berkeley, Co-author of Computer Organization and Design

Digital Design and Computer Architecture takes a unique and modern approach to digital design. Beginning with digital logic gates and progressing to the design of combinational and sequential circuits, Harris and Harris use these fundamental building blocks as the basis for what follows: the design of an actual MIPS processor. SystemVerilog and VHDL are integrated throughout the text in examples illustrating the methods and techniques for CAD-based circuit design. By the end of this book, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works. Harris and Harris have combined an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design.

This second edition has been updated with new content on I/O systems in the context of general purpose processors found in a PC as well as microcontrollers found almost everywhere. The new edition provides practical examples of how to interface with peripherals using RS232, SPI, motor control, interrupts, wireless, and analog-to-digital conversion. High-level descriptions of I/O interfaces found in PCs include USB, SDRAM, WiFi, PCI Express, and others. In addition to expanded and updated material throughout, SystemVerilog is now featured in the programming and code examples (replacing Verilog), alongside VHDL. This new edition also provides additional exercises and a new appendix on C programming to strengthen the connection between programming and processor architecture.

SECOND Edition Features

• Covers the fundamentals of digital logic design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of a MIPS microprocessor.

• Features side-by-side examples of the two most prominent Hardware Description Languages (HDLs)-SystemVerilog and VHDL-which illustrate and compare the ways each can be used in the design of digital systems.

• Includes examples throughout the text that enhance the reader's understanding and retention of key concepts and techniques.

• Companion Web site includes links to CAD tools for FPGA design from Altera and Mentor Graphics, lecture slides, laboratory projects, and solutions to exercises.

This collection of essays investigates the various connections between Willa Cather’s fiction and her aesthetic beliefs and practices.

Pooh has eight full pots of honey—plenty to share! But how does he end up with only one to bring to the Springtime Party? Find out in this adorable book that combines cute honeypots with a sharing story of pooh-tastic proportions! As each page is turned another pot disappears. Where do they all go?

Feeling rumbly in his tumbly but lacking even a smidgen of honey, a troubled Winnie the Pooh journeys through the Hundred Acre Wood looking for something sweet to eat, in a story that features touch-and-feel accents. Original. 75,000 first printing.

The Art Institute of Chicago, although renowned for its holdings of works by the French Impressionists, also houses a wealth of superb examples by American proponents of this distinctive style. The breadth of the museum's collection of American Impressionism is rich, with a substantial body of paintings and watercolors by Winslow Homer, who is seen today as a precursor to Impressionism, as well as impressive portfolios of work by Americans living in Europe, such as James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, and the only American who was officially part of the French group, Mary Cassatt. In addition, important paintings and watercolors by notable artists such as Cecilia Beaux, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, George Inness, Mauric Prendergast, and John Twachtman are included, along with handsomely reproduced images by lesser-known artists who worked in the Impressionist vein.

Clarence sets his sights on winning the county fair's annual pig scramble to prove to himself that he can do something his older brothers cannot.

Beloved Disney character, Winnie the Pooh, is now starring in his very own Take Along Tunes Storybook. Based on the brand-new movie, this book will engage kids as they read aboutPooh’s adventures in the Hundred-Acre Wood.  As they read the storybook, kids are prompted in the book to play a song using the included music player. Pooh fans can carry the player everywhere they go to hear music while on the move. The adorable Pooh-shaped player can be positioned in a sitting or a standing position.
