Hardback. Etat : Fair. This text presents a comprehensive treatment of signal processing and linear systems suitable for juniors and seniors in electrical engineering. It is based on Lathi's widely used book, Linear Systems and Signals, with additional applications to communications, controls, and filtering as well as new chapters on analog and digital filters and digital signal processing. This volume's organization is different from the earlier book. Here, the Laplace transform follows Fourier, rather than the reverse; continuous-time and discrete-time systems are treated sequentially, rather than interwoven. Additionally, the text contains enough material in discrete-time systems to be used not only for a traditional course in signals and systems but also for an introductory course in digital signal processing. In Signal Processing and Linear Systems, as in all his books, Lathi emphasizes the physical appreciation of concepts rather than the mere mathematical manipulation of symbols. Avoiding the tendency to treat engineering as a branch of applied mathematics, he uses mathematics not so much to prove an axiomatic theory as to enhance physical and intuitive understanding of concepts. Wherever possible, theoretical results are supported by carefully chosen examples and analogies, allowing students to intuitively discover meaning for themselves. An accompanying solutions manual is available on CD-ROM.…

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. xxix, 506 pages. 215 x 138 mm. "A Literary History of the Arabs" prepared especially for the students of Arabic, occupies an eminent place in the literary field. The author strictly revised and presented it without alteration. In this book the chief aim of the author is to sketch in broad outlines what the Arabs thought, and to indicate as far as possible the influence which molded their thought. As the work especially devoted to the literature, almost all poetic conditions relating to the pre-Islamic time and after the Islamic period explained in detail. Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, or R. A.

After a relatively short time the subjugation of the British was complete and England a patchwork of warring domains and isolated settlements. Yet within the space of two centuries the English (as the tribes may collectively be called) had achieved a sense of themselves that may fairly be described as nationhood. It is the evolution of this sense and of the distinctive characteristics of England and the English that gave it form and substance which Geoffrey Elton traces through twelve centuries. The result is the first one~volume history of the English nation from its origins to the present for over twenty years: it is a tour de force. That the basic features of English society endured for more than a thousand years through vicissitudes that included a succession of foreign occupants of the royal power, an invasion, and two destructive civil wars may be, the author argues, traced to two key factors. The first was the early emergence of an idea of kingship and an institutional monarchy that created power, order and control. The second, made possible by the first, was a system of law that both preserved rights and liberties and encouraged a respect for the autonomy of individual thought and action that was and remains the essential aspect of the English constitution. With the establishment of a world empire, industrialization and urbanization, the English submerged into the larger national entity called the British. Though the author shows that they preserved something like their separate identity, the great transformations that took place in the nineteenth century effectively brought to a close the story of the English as a nation. At the encl of the second millennium the life of this new entity is itself precarious, at once facing the renewed nationalism of the Scottish ancl Welsh kingdoms ancl the loss of sovereignty presaged by a united Europe. From these forces, Professor Elton suggests, the English identity may paradoxically reemerge.…
