Book SynopsisTechnical Drawing 101 covers topics ranging from the most basic, such as making freehand, multiview sketches of machine parts, to the advancedâcreating an AutoCAD dimension style containing the style settings defined by the ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. But unlike the massive technical drawing reference texts on the market, Technical Drawing 101 aims to present just the right mix of information and projects that can be reasonably covered by faculty, and assimilated by students, in one semester. Both mechanical and architectural projects are introduced to capture the interest of more students and to offer a broader appeal.The authors have also created extensive video training (178 videos, 26 hours total) that is included with every copy of the book. In these videos the authors start off by getting students comfortable with the user interface and demonstrating how to use many of AutoCAD's commands and features. The videos progress to more advanced topics where the authors walk students through completing several of the projects in the book.The CAD portion of the text incorporates drafting theory whenever possible and covers the basics of drawing setup (units, limits, and layers), the tools of the Draw, Modify, and Dimension toolbars, and the fundamentals of 3D modeling. By focusing on the fundamental building blocks of CAD, Technical Drawing 101 provides a solid foundation for students going on to learn advanced CAD concepts and techniques (paper space, viewports, xrefs, annotative scaling, etc.) in intermediate CAD courses.In recognition of the diverse career interests of our students, Technical Drawing 101 includes projects in which students create working drawings for a mechanical assembly as well as for an architectural project. We include architectural drawing because our experience has shown that many (if not most) first-semester drafting students are interested in careers in the architectural design field, and that a traditional technical drawing text, which focuses solely on mechanical drawing projects, holds little interest for these students. The multidisciplinary approach of this text and its supporting materials are intended to broaden the appeal of the curriculum and increase student interest and, it is hoped, future enrollments.

Book SynopsisA material history of haptics technology that raises new questions about the relationship between touch and media Since the rise of radio and television, we have lived in an era defined increasingly by the electronic circulation of images and sounds. But the flood of new computing technologies known as haptic interfaces—which use electricity, vibration, and force feedback to stimulate the sense of touch—offering an alternative way of mediating and experiencing reality. In Archaeologies of Touch, David Parisi offers the first full history of these increasingly vital technologies, showing how the efforts of scientists and engineers over the past three hundred years have gradually remade and redefined our sense of touch. Through lively analyses of electrical machines, videogames, sex toys, sensory substitution systems, robotics, and human–computer interfaces, Parisi shows how the materiality of touch technologies has been shaped by attempts to transform humans into more efficient processors of information. With haptics becoming ever more central to emerging virtual-reality platforms (immersive bodysuits loaded with touch-stimulating actuators), wearable computers (haptic messaging systems like the Apple Watch’s Taptic Engine), and smartphones (vibrations that emulate the feel of buttons and onscreen objects), Archaeologies of Touch offers a timely and provocative engagement with the long history of touch technology that helps us confront and question the power relations underpinning the project of giving touch its own set of technical media.Trade Review"Archaeologies of Touch weaves a careful history of haptic technology with a provocative analysis on the changing nature of how we recognize and measure touching. This allows David Parisi to provide the remarkable: a history of that which has always appeared just beyond our reach."—Phillip Thurtle, University of Washington"Archaeologies of Touch convincingly contextualizes recent forms of digital touch within an overarching history of psychophysiological and technological experimentation with the senses and sensory communication. David Parisi pulls together an impressive wealth of resources for scholars to understand how we ‘haptic subjects’ became haptic in the first place."—Mark Paterson, author of The Senses of Touch: Haptics, Affects and Technologies"Parisi provides an engaging history of how humans have interacted with a range of electric and electronic technologies to understand and explore how the sensation of touch actually works, and how it can be simulated. The book effectively highlights the need for more critical analysis of haptic technology and its future. The book is exhaustively researched and includes useful explanatory notes and images."—CHOICE"Archaeologies of Touch is a fascinating reading about spectacular experiments, forgotten appliances and scientists who have partially come to the fore."—Svenska Dagbladet"Archaeologies of Touch is a significant achievement in media research. It is lucid, scrupulous, rigorously grounded, and exceedingly informed without ever getting mired in high theory or inconsequential historical asides."—Lateral: Journal of the Cultural Studies Association"Archaeologies of Touch is a work of deep erudition and study, carefully plotted, and written with penetrating insight, establishing Parisi at the vanguard of the developing field of haptic media studies."—Media Theory"This is a remarkable book, solidly documented and will potentially enlighten a vast number of people working with cultural and social technologies."—Neural"Filled with archival illustrations, schematics, and images of the various lesser known technologies and experimental research that demonstrate the long history of research of touch, Parisi’s Archaeologies of Touch is vital read for scholars concerned with all things haptic."—New Media and Society"In thoroughly tracing the connections between touch and technoscience, Parisi offers a powerful and timely argument that encourages a serious reconsideration of touch's technogenesis."—Configurations"Archaeologies of Touch is an ambitious book chock-full of fascinating experiments and anecdotes."—Technology and Culture Table of ContentsContentsPreface.

Book SynopsisIn the more than seven years since the Object Management Group (OMG) adopted the Unified Modeling Language (UML), UML has established itself as the de facto industry standard for modeling software systemsIn 2001 OMG put together a task force to revise UML Version 1.0. In March of 2003, UML Version 2.0 was finalized and rolled out to the 35 major companies participating in the adoption effort and made available to the public. This book provides a step-by-step guide to the notation and use of UML, one of the most widely used, object-oriented notation systems/programming languages in existence. The outline demonstrates the use of the techniques and notation of UML through case studies in systems analysis, showing the student clearly how UML is used in all kinds of practical situations. This revised edition will discuss the new infrastructure of the latest UML Version 2.0, and will include new examples, review questions, and notations.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Basic Concepts Chapter 2: Mathematical Concepts in Chemistry Chapter 3: Atoms and Atomic Masses Chapter 4: Electronic Configuration of the Atom Chapter 5: Chemical Bonding Chapter 6: Inorganic Nomenclature Chapter 7: Formula Calculations Chapter 8: Chemical Equations Chapter 9: Net Ionic Equations Chapter 10: Stoichiometry Chapter 11: Molarity Chapter 12: Gases Chapter 13: Kinetic Molecular Theory Chapter 14: Oxidation and Reduction Chapter 15: Solutions Chapter 16: Equilibrium Chapter 17: Acid-Base Theory Chapter 18: Organic Chemistry Chapter 19: Nuclear Reactions Appendix: Scientific Calculations, Glossary, Index, Table of the Elements, Conversions, Periodic Table

Book SynopsisThis book is a refreshingly practical yet theoretically sound roadmap to leveraging data analytics and data science. The vast amount of data generated about us and our world is useless without plans and strategies that are designed to cope with its size and complexity, and which enable organizations to leverage the information to create value in marketing.Creating Value with Data Analytics in Marketing provides a nuanced view of big data developments and data science, arguing that big data is not a revolution but an evolution of the increasing availability of data that has been observed in recent times. Building on the authors' extensive academic and practical knowledge, this book aims to provide managers and analysts with strategic directions and practical analytical solutions on how to create value from existing and new big data. The second edition of this bestselling text has been fully updated in line with developments in the field and includes a selection of new, Trade Review"More than ever before, managers are held accountable for the return on their marketing investments. Data science has thus become a centerpiece in the skills arsenal of today’s manager. This comprehensive, yet eminently readable book is a must read for anyone seriously interested in using data science to create firm value."Jan-Benedict Steenkamp, C. Knox Massey Distinguished Professor of Marketing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA"Data science and big data analytics are in vogue these days but none of the current books on these subjects combine an understanding of them along with how they interface with marketing metrics. This is precisely what Peter Verhoef, Edwin Kooge, Natasha Walk and Jaap Wieringa have accomplished! The book is literally a treasure trove for marketing practitioners, academics and students, to not only understand the specifics of the data science techniques and methodologies but also to develop an appreciation of how they can all be put together to inform managers and drive decision making!"P.K. Kannan, Associate Dean of Strategic Initiatives at University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business, USA"In the age of big data, understanding data analytic in marketing is crucial. This edition highlights how data can bring value to the organization and brand while addressing the need for customer privacy and data security. This book helps the reader understand the what story the data is saying as well as create a data-driven culture. A must read for anyone wanting a better understanding of how data can bring value in marketing."Joyce Costello, Marketing Management, Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK"This superb book brilliantly synthesizes knowledge that every researcher and professional working with marketing analytics should have. The new edition of this much-valued book is even better!"Polymeros Chrysochou, Professor at Department of Management & MAPP Centre, Aarhus University, Denmark"This book offers an amazing overview of what data analytics entails, and how any marketer can create value through (big) data. It offers many great examples and is written in a no nonsense manner combining the best of academic and practitioner knowledge. If you are serious about data analytics, this book is a must-read."Arne De Keyser, Associate Professor of Marketing, EDHEC Business School, France"This revised edition is a practical book introducing readers to big data analytics in marketing in details. It is packed with great examples and engaging case studies. The book is well structured and is easy to understand. A great book for students, scholars and practitioners to start their journey in exploring big data analytics in marketing."Mingming Cheng, Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing, School of Management and Marketing, Curtin University, AustraliaTable of Contents1 Data science and big data; 2 Creating value with data science; 3 Value objectives and metrics; 4 Data assets; 5 Data storing and integration; 6 Customer privacy and data security; 7 Data analytics; 8 Data exploration; 9 Data modeling; 10 Creating impact with storytelling and visualization; 11 Creating value with data science; 12 Building successful data analytics capabilities
