Here is a riveting first-person account of manic depressive illness, told by a trained psychologist with remarkable candor and insight. The newly revised edition includes new chapters on the latest therapies, including drugs such as Prozac, which are being deployed to battle this prevalent mental disorder. A best seller in its first edition, Breakdown remains a dramatic autobiographical drama, laced with tension and chilling impact, and including a critical appraisal of various therapeutic approaches. It makes absorbing reading for anyone who has suffered from depression or knows someone who has, including psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, students and general readers interested in mental illness, its causes, effects, and treatments.

This completely revised edition incorporates over a 1000 new terms that have come into usage since the first edition was published in 1987. In addition, the definitions of many of the original terms have been revised and many new usages added. The dictionary includes as many terms as possible from other related disciplines - including psychiatry, artificial intelligence, linguistics, statistics, neurology, neurophysiology, brain chemistry, genetics etc.

In its updated second edition, this book has been extensively revised on a chapter by chapter basis. The book accurately reflects the syntax and semantic changes to the SystemVerilog language standard, making it an essential reference for systems professionals who need the latest version information. In addition, the second edition features a new chapter explaining the SystemVerilog "packages", a new appendix that summarizes the synthesis guidelines presented throughout the book, and all of the code examples have been updated to the final syntax and rerun using the latest version of the Synopsys, Mentor, and Cadance tools.

This book will help engineers write better Verilog/SystemVerilog design and verification code as well as deliver digital designs to market more quickly. It shows over 100 common coding mistakes that can be made with the Verilog and SystemVerilog languages. Each example explains in detail the symptoms of the error, the languages rules that cover the error, and the correct coding style to avoid the error. The book helps digital design and verification engineers to recognize, and avoid, these common coding mistakes. Many of these errors are very subtle, and can potentially cost hours or days of lost engineering time trying to find and debug them.

Why do doctors, generals, civil servants and others consistently make  wrong decisions that cause enormous harm to others? Why do we sit  through a boring play just because the tickets were expensive?  Sutherland's witty dissection of muddled thinking explains irrationality  in an entertaining way, offering a valuable guide to straight thinking.

Verilog ― 2001: A Guide to the New Features of the Verilog® Hardware Description Language (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, 652)

by Phil Moorby The Verilog Hardware Description Language has had an amazing impact on the mod em electronics industry, considering that the essential composition of the language was developed in a surprisingly short period of time, early in 1984. Since its introduc tion, Verilog has changed very little. Over time, users have requested many improve ments to meet new methodology needs. But, it is a complex and time consuming process to add features to a language without ambiguity, and maintaining consistency. A group of Verilog enthusiasts, the IEEE 1364 Verilog committee, have broken the Verilog feature doldrums. These individuals should be applauded. They invested the time and energy, often their personal time, to understand and resolve an extensive wish-list of language enhancements. They took on the task of choosing a feature set that would stand up to the scrutiny of the standardization process. I would like to per sonally thank this group. They have shown that it is possible to evolve Verilog, rather than having to completely start over with some revolutionary new language. The Verilog 1364-2001 standard provides many of the advanced building blocks that users have requested. The enhancements include key components for verification, abstract design, and other new methodology capabilities. As designers tackle advanced issues such as automated verification, system partitioning, etc., the Verilog standard will rise to meet the continuing challenge of electronics design.

Computer Science

by Maq Mannan President and CEO, DSM Technologies Chairman of the IEEE 1364 Verilog Standards Group Past Chairman of Open Verilog International One of the major strengths of the Verilog language is the Programming Language Interface (PLI), which allows users and Verilog application developers to infinitely extend the capabilities of the Verilog language and the Verilog simulator. In fact, the overwhelming success of the Verilog language can be partly attributed to the exi- ence of its PLI. Using the PLI, add-on products, such as graphical waveform displays or pre and post simulation analysis tools, can be easily developed. These products can then be used with any Verilog simulator that supports the Verilog PLI. This ability to create thi- party add-on products for Verilog simulators has created new markets and provided the Verilog user base with multiple sources of software tools. Hardware design engineers can, and should, use the Verilog PLI to customize their Verilog simulation environment. A Company that designs graphics chips, for ex- ple, may wish to see the simulation results of a new design in some custom graphical display. The Verilog PLI makes it possible, and even trivial, to integrate custom so- ware, such as a graphical display program, into a Verilog simulator. The simulation results can then dynamically be displayed in the custom format during simulation. And, if the company uses Verilog simulators from multiple simulator vendors, this integrated graphical display will work with all the simulators.

The Verilog PLI Handbook: A User’s Guide and Comprehensive Reference on the Verilog Programming Language Interface (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, 666)

The Verilog PLI Handbook: A User's Guide and Comprehensive Reference on the Verilog Programming Language Interface is designed to serve two specific needs:
<ul>
<li>A tutorial on how to write PLI applications </li> <li>A reference book on the IEEE 1364-1998 Verilog PLI standard.</li> </ul>
 Towards this end, this book has two distinct parts. Part One is written for new users of the PLI. These chapters explain how the PLI works and how it is used to solve basic design verification tasks. A large number of small but useful examples illustrate the concepts presented in each chapter. Part Two provides a comprehensive reference of the IEEE 1364 PLI standard. The Verilog PLI Handbook: A User's Guide and Comprehensive Reference on the Verilog Programming Language Interface will be of interest to hardware design engineers who use or are familiar with the Verilog Hardware Description Language.
