Shaw - Böcker

The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt is the only up-to-date, single-volume history of ancient Egypt available in English. The accessible essays and attractive illustrations portray the emergence and development of the distinctive civilization of the ancient Egyptians, from their prehistoric origins to their incorporation into the Roman Empire, covering the period from c. 700,000 BC to AD 311. The authors - all experts working at the cutting edge of their particular fields - outline the principal sequence of political events, including detailed examinations of the three so-called 'intermediate periods' which were previously regarded as 'dark ages' and are only now beginning to be better understood. Against the backdrop of the rise and fall of ruling dynasties, this Oxford History also examines cultural and social patterns, including stylistic developments in art and literature. The pace of change in such aspects of Egyptian culture as monumental architecture, funerary beliefs, and ethnicity was not necessarily tied to the rate of political change. Each of the authors of this history has therefore set out to elucidate, in both words and pictures, the underlying patterns of social and political change and to describe the changing face of ancient Egypt, from the biographical details of individuals to the social and economic factors that shaped the lives of the population as a whole.

With Shaw's conversational writing style, sophomore engineering and computer science majors will find this text's coverage of combinational and sequential logic design easy to understand and a pleasure to read. The text is remarkably clear and provides extensive examples. Shaw maintains an ongoing relationship with industry, which is reflected in the text's primary goal of preparing students for entry into the workplace--ready to design. The text's design-firstorganization allows students to master a simple systematic design process, then move to design and analysis of more complex circuits. The use of polarized notation offers students an easy-to-learnnotation that clarifies the thought process in design, allows a simplification of the sign process, and improves documentation. Software simulation is stressed in all designed circuits, allowing students to test circuits before committing them to hardware. An early introduction to programmable logic devices reflects their importance in design.

Telling the time is a complex skill that many children struggle to grasp. Schofield & Sims Telling the Time breaks this difficult topic down into a sequence of manageable ideas that young learners can approach at their own pace. Beginning with child-friendly explanations of times of day and units of time, it moves on to introduce telling the time on an analogue clock, before progressing to cover a wide range of related concepts, including different ways of measuring and representing time, time expressions and everyday time problems. Each activity book provides large, clear clock faces for easy counting and colour-coded hands to aid recognition of hours and minutes. 'Learn' panels help to explain time-telling in simple steps, while regular 'Did you know?' boxes provide fun general-knowledge facts to enrich learning. Answers to all the practice questions are included at the back of the book for easy marking.Telling the Time Book 2 supports the National Curriculum requirements for Year 2 and covers the following topic areas: counting in fives; telling the time to five minutes; units of time (minutes, hours, days); ordering and comparing intervals of time; digital time; comparing analogue and digital clocks; and problem-solving using time.
