Originally published in 1977, this book looks at medical sociology from the inside. Each chapter has been written by sociologists who themselves were patients – participant observers. Each experienced problems and sought solutions in the health services, at the same time bringing their training in social science to the analysis of experience. This is a unique contribution to medical sociology, bringing a directness to the recorded experiences.

As the costs of power and timing become increasingly difficult to manage in traditional synchronous systems, designers are being forced to look at asynchronous alternatives. Based on reworked and expanded papers from the 7th Banff Higher Order Workshop, this volume examines asynchronous methods which have been used in large circuit design, ranging from initial formal specification to more standard finite state machine based control models. Written by leading practitioners in the area, the papers cover many aspects of current practice including practical design, silicon compilation, and applications of formal specification. It also includes a state-of-the-art survey of asynchronous hardware design. The resulting volume will be beneficial to anyone interested in designing correct asynchronous circuits which exhibit high performance or low power operation.
