Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, is known to professors, students, and developers worldwide as the "Dragon Book," . Every chapter has been revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published. The authors, recognising that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software devel...

The first four editions of the Dutch edition of Sales Management have been received with great enthusiasm both in higher education and in industry. There seems to be a great need for a complete and practical textbook, tailored to the sales practice. The international edition of this popular book is now available, edited with a European perspective.

The stories have been transcribed and...

The politics of food is changing fast. In rich countries, obesity is now a more serious problem than hunger. Consumers once satisfied with cheap and convenient food now want food that is also safe, nutritious, fresh, and grown by local farmers using fewer chemicals.

Heavily subsidized and underregulated commercial farmers are facing stronger push back from environmentalists and consumer activists, and food companies are under the microscope. Meanwhile, agriculturalsuccess in Asia has spurred ...

A qualitative research book for the 'doers', this text provides really practical coverage for those that are undertaking research in real-world contexts.

The contributions in this volume cover the period between roughly 1850 and 1950, focusing for the most part on Dutch science. We find out why the world-famous Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory lost its leading position in the 1930s, how research on hormones and vitamins was established in the Netherlands, and how the discipline of modern experimental physics was strongly influenced by practices in astronomy.

By the first half of the twentieth century, fundamental research had acquired an almost invi...

The C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly, simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, thoroughly covers the details of this language and its use in his definitive reference, The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition. In A Tour of C++, Stroustrup excerpts the overview chapters from that complete reference, expanding and enhancing them to give an experienced programmer-in just a fe...
