Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Perspective
0-471-32208-3; (C) 2001
This text has been written to communicate the complexity of software engineering, a field that is on the rise. Braude has combined practical industrial experience with up-to-date academic experience to give students a feel for the complexity and important issues of real-world development. A longitudinal case study using IEEE standards is implemented throughout the text, along with many other examples, which enable students to
understand the implications of quality factors, proper requirements documents, appropriate design and appropriate project management techniques. Suitable for a one semester, senior level course, or first year graduate course in Software Engineering.

The Sciences: An Integrated Approach, Third Edition
0-471-37088-6; (C) 2001
The Sciences: An Integrated Approach has been used by over 100,000 students nationwide since it was published! The Sciences: An Integrated Approach, Third Edition, is the only text on the market for the integrated science course. It integrates physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth sciences and biology for student swith little or no science background. The new edition builds on the successful previous edition by incorporating
changes that meet reform curriculum guidelines. Given the dynamic nature of the science disciplines covered in Trefil's text, updated content is criticial. The new, third edition has thoroughly updated content throughout bringing the most up-to-date discoveries to the students in all five disciplines. it's broad approach that covers such a variety of the science disciplines, updated content is crucial. This revision has several significant
changes: URL's are included at the ends of each chapter, many of the Science News boxes are updated to show "hot topics."
