Hur kan mer tid i skogen hjälpa dig till god hälsa och lycka? SHINRIN-YOKU är den japanska termen för trädens hälsobringande effekter. Genom att tillbringa mer tid i skogen kan du finna en väg till inre frid. I Japan har shinrin-yoku varit etablerat sedan länge och metodens positiva inverkan på hälsan vare sig det handlar om en stilla skogspromenad, en kortare stund i parken eller om att försiktigt tassa barfota över gräset har blivit erkänd världen över. I den här boken visar Dr Qing Li hur du genom att tillbringa mer tid i naturen och bland träd kan sänka blodtryck och stressnivåer, och även förbättra ditt immunförsvar och öka din livslust. Shinrin-yoku: Bli friskare och lyckligare med natur- och skogsterapi erbjuder såväl fascinerande fakta om trädens läkande egenskaper som konkreta övningar för dig som känner att livet rusar för snabbt. En karta till den ostörda plats som allt för många av oss förlorat vägen till. DR QING LI är docent vid Nippon Medical School i Tokyo och en av världens ledande experter på natur- och skogsterapi. Han är även generalsekreterare för The International Society of Nature & Forest Medicine, samt en av ledarna för Japanska natur- och skogsterapi-sällskapet.

IPv6 Advanced Protocols Implementation is the second installment of a two-volume series on IPv6 and the KAME implementation. This book discusses those protocols that are found in more capable IPv6 devices, are commonly deployed in more complex IPv6 network environments, or are not specific to IPv6 but are extended to support IPv6. Specifically, this book engages the readers in advanced topics such as routing, multicasting, DNS, DHCPv6, mobility, and security.This two-volume series covers a wide spectrum of the IPv6 technology, help the readers establish solid and empirical understanding on IPv6 and the KAME reference implementation paralleled by none.Key Features:- Extensive code listings with meticulous line-by-line explanation of rationale and use for KAME snapshot implementations on advanced IPv6 related protocols, including:- Unicast and multicast routing and DNS client based on KAME snapshot dated April 2003, which are a base of more recent versions of BSD variants- Mobile IPv6 based on KAME snapshot dated July 2004, a predecessor version of the "SHISA" implementation- DHCPv6 based on KAME snapshot dated May 2005, a base of the WIDE-DHCPv6 implementation available at SourceForge today- Numerous diagrams and illustrations help in visualizing the implementation- In-depth discussion of the standards provides intrinsic understanding of the specifications- An introduction to the IP security protocols along with the use of the racoon key exchange daemon- Two CD-ROMs filled with the complete KAME IPv6 protocol stack and FreeBSD software- The only authoritative reference "cookbook" for anyone interested in advanced IPv6 topics and protocols- Line-by-line walk through of real code helps the reader master IPv6 implementation- Comprehensive in scope, based on a working standard, and thoroughly illustrated to bring the protocols alive

IPv6 was introduced in 1994 and has been in development at the IETF for over 10 years. It has now reached the deployment stage. KAME, the de-facto open-source reference implementation of the IPv6 standards, played a significant role in the acceptance and the adoption of the IPv6 technology. The adoption of KAME by key companies in a wide spectrum of commercial products is a testimonial to the success of the KAME project, which concluded not long ago.This book is the first and the only one of its kind, which reveals all of the details of the KAME IPv6 protocol stack, explaining exactly what every line of code does and why it was designed that way. Through the dissection of both the code and its design, the authors illustrate how IPv6 and its related protocols have been interpreted and implemented from the specifications. This reference will demystify those ambiguous areas in the standards, which are open to interpretation and problematic in deployment, and presents solutions offered by KAME in dealing with these implementation challenges.- Covering a snapshot version of KAME dated April 2003 based on FreeBSD 4.8- Extensive line-by-line code listings with meticulous explanation of their rationale and use for the KAME snapshot implementation, which is generally applicable to most recent versions of the KAME IPv6 stack including those in recent releases of BSD variants- Numerous diagrams and illustrations help in visualizing the implementation- In-depth discussion of the standards provides intrinsic understanding of the specifications

Master the fundamental concepts of real-time embedded system programming and jumpstart your embedded projects with effective design and implementation practices. This book bridges the gap between higherA- level abstract modeling concepts and the lower-level programming aspects of embedded systems development. You gain a solid understanding of real-time embedded systems with detailed practical examples and industry wisdom on key concepts, design processes, and the available tools and methods.Delve into the details of real-time programming so you can develop a working knowledge of the common design patterns and program structures of real-time operating systems {RTOS). The objects and services that are a part of most RTOS kernels are described and real-time system design is explored in detail. You learn how to decompose an application into units and how to combine these units with other objects and services to create standard building blocks. A rich set of ready-to-use, embedded design "e;building blocks"e; is also supplied to accelerate your development efforts and increase your productivity.Experienced developers new to embedded systems and engineering or computer science students will both appreciate the careful balance between theory, illustrations, and practical discussions. Hard-won insights and experiences shed new light on application development, common design problems, and solutions in the embedded space. Technical managers active in software design reviews of real-time embedded systems will find this a valuable reference to the design and implementation phases.
