expanded considerably, arranged in an easily accessible outline format.
Furthermore, while the number of radiologic and other photographs has been
reduced, the number of tables, charts, and drawings has increased substantially.
Since the first edition 9 years ago, major changes in urologic practice have
occurred, and the new material reflects this “mini-revolution.” For example, the
chapter on genitourinary radiology is a thoroughly modern treatment of this
subject, emphasizing ultrasound and cross-sectional imaging. Updated chapters
detail the new endoscopic instruments developed in the last decade, as well as
innovative techniques in detecting urinary calculi. The diagnosis and treatment
of bladder outlet obstruction, urinary incontinence, male erectile dysfunction,
male infertility, and neurogenic bladder dysfunction have become varied and
sophisticated, and this is reflected in the new chapters on these areas. The
chapter on radiation therapy has been entirely rewritten to emphasize the many
new treatment modalities that now exist, and the discussion of infectious
diseases includes data regarding newer antibiotic agents.
At the same time, the purpose and orientation of the first edition have been
maintained by presenting problems and therapeutic principles. The purpose also
remains one of serving as a companion to the house officer and medical student
responsible for urology patients, and to provide up-to-date, detailed and handy
information, instruction, and advice. Open operative procedures are not depicted
in great detail, but endoscopic, medical, and diagnostic procedures are well
described. Most chapters were written by current and past residents and trainees
associated with the Boston University training program in urology, with input
from the faculty.
The first edition was well received in this country and was translated into
Japanese as well. We hope that medical students, residents, and fellows find
this manual useful in the day-to-day care of urologic patients. Of course, we
are grateful for the efforts of our contributing authors. We also wish to thank
everyone associated with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins for their support during
the long process of producing this work, in particular R. Craig Percy and
Michelle M. LaPlante.

Clifford J. Berg, "High-Assurance Design: Architecting Secure and Reliable
Enterprise Applications"
Addison-Wesley Professional | ISBN 0321375777 | 2005 Year | CHM | 3,83 Mb | 696
Pages
“ Many enterprises unfortunately depend on software that is insecure,
unreliable, and fragile. They compensate by investing heavily in workarounds and
maintenance, and by employing hordes of "gurus" to manage their systems' flaws.
This must change. And it can. In this book, respected software architect
Clifford J. Berg shows how to design high-assurance applications—applications
with proven, built-in reliability, security, manageability, and maintainability.
High-Assurance Design presents basic design principles and patterns that can be
used in any contemporary development environment and satisfy the business demand
for agility, responsiveness, and low cost. Berg draws on real-world experience,
focusing heavily on the activities and relationships associated with building
superior software in a mainstream business environment. Practicing architects,
lead designers, and technical managers will benefit from the coverage of the
entire software lifecycle, showing how to:
Understand and avoid the problems that lead to unreliable, insecure software
Refocus design and development resources to improve software
Identify project risks and plan for assurable designs
Obtain the requirements needed to deliver high assurance
Design application systems that meet the identified requirements
Verify that the design satisfies these requirements
Plan and design tests for reliability and security
Integrate security design, reliability design, and application design into one
coherent set of processes
Incorporate these concerns into any software development methodology

Carl Sifakis, "The Mafia Encyclopedia" (2nd edition)
Checkmark Books | ISBN 0816038570 | 1999 Year | CHM | 2,74 Mb | 414 Pages
“ They're all there, starting with Anthony Joseph Accardo (1906-1992), the
Chicago mob leader known as Tony to crime pals, Mr. Accardo to underlings, Joe
Batters to his subordinates, and as "having more brains before breakfast than Al
Capone had all day" to syndicate supporters, and working through the alphabet to
Abner "Longy" Zwillman (1899-1959), a crime-syndicate founder and New Jersey
boss, one of the most feared of the Jewish Mafia, known as the "Al Capone of new
Jersey," and much revered for his love affair with Jean Harlow.
Between Accardo and Zwillman, Carl Sifakis explores the lives, reputations,
exploits, and subcultures of more than 450 Mafia perpetrators and personalities.
Sifakis describes the individuals, codes of behavior, misdeeds, legal scrapes,
rivalries, and flamboyant lifestyles associated with the world of organized
crime--an entity whose existence J. Edgar Hoover denied for 30 years. Sifakis's
research is thorough, and his subjects are nefarious and riveting. It's his feel
for storytelling, however, that makes his encyclopedia so enjoyable. He writes
about infamous characters such as Al Capone (who felt his bootlegging was merely
a public service) and John Gotti (a.k.a. the Teflon Don, who's now serving a
life sentence) as well as the Mafia Social Clubs, Donnie Brasco (the FBI agent
who infiltrated the mob and sent more than 100 mobsters to prison), and the
importance of slot machines to the post-Prohibition welfare of organized crime.
With nearly 100 pictures and illustrations, Sifakis's mob opus is required
reading for Mafia buffs, and a remarkably engaging guide for anyone interested
in a factual report on organized crime.

David Chappell, "Enterprise Service Bus"
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596006756 | 2004 Year | CHM | 2,55 Mb | 352 Pages
“ Large IT organizations increasingly face the challenge of integrating various
web services, applications, and other technologies into a single network. The
solution to finding a meaningful large-scale architecture that is capable of
spanning a global enterprise appears to have been met in ESB, or Enterprise
Service Bus. Rather than conform to the hub-and-spoke architecture of
traditional enterprise application integration products, ESB provides a highly
distributed approach to integration, with unique capabilities that allow
individual departments or business units to build out their integration projects
in incremental, digestible chunks, maintaining their own local control and
autonomy, while still being able to connect together each integration project
into a larger, more global integration fabric, or grid. Enterprise Service Bus
offers a thorough introduction and overview for systems architects, system
integrators, technical project leads, and CTO/CIO level managers who need to
understand, assess, and evaluate this new approach. Written by Dave Chappell,
one of the best known and authoritative voices in the field of enterprise
middleware and standards-based integration, the book drills down into the
technical details of the major components of ESB, showing how it can utilize an
event-driven SOA to bring a variety of enterprise applications and services
built on J2EE, .NET, C/C++, and other legacy environments into the reach of the
everyday IT professional. With Enterprise Service Bus, readers become well
versed in the problems faced by IT organizations today, gaining an understanding
of how current technology deficiencies impact business issues. Through the study
of real-world use cases and integration patterns drawn from several industries
using ESB--including Telcos, financial services, retail, B2B exchanges, energy,
manufacturing, and more--the book clearly and coherently outlines the benefits
of moving toward this integration strategy. The book also compares ESB to other
integration architectures, contrasting their inherent strengths and limitations.
If you are charged with understanding, assessing, or implementing an integration
architecture, Enterprise Service Bus will provide the straightforward
information you need to draw your conclusions about this important disruptive
technology.
