Mac OS X Leopard Portable Genius
Product Description
Mac OS X Portable Genius is always at the ready for you with facts,
tips, and secrets to give you the most from your favorite OS. This
genius teaches you to customize your computer and workspace,
troubleshoot and maintain Mac OS X, and just have fun. Browse and
manipulate images and multimedia, listen to music and Podcasts, copy
music to an iPod, add a printer, sync your Mac to other devices, and
take control of Leopard to make it work for you.
From the introduction:
Some of you may be rolling your eyes right now; all computers use the
file and folder concept and some sort of colorful user interface, so
there couldn't be that much difference between Mac OS X and its
competitors, right? Wrong. I don't just say this because of some blind
devotion to all things Apple; I've actually used different flavors of
Windows and Linux for more than 13 years, right alongside my trusty
Mac, so experience has been my teacher. If I have any devotion to
Apple, there are plenty of good reasons why, the subject of this book
being the first. Readers of this book who are already Mac users
understand exactly what I'm talking about. For those of you moving
from other computing platforms, it's my desire that by the end of this
book you will have a whole new perspective on computing and see what
it means to really have fun while working with your computer. In Mac
OS X Leopard Portable Genius you can learn not just the basics, but
the subtle nuances and little tips and tricks that make using your Mac
that much easier. I've covered the gamut, from printing files, surfing
the Internet and using e-mail, to partitioning your hard drive,
automating repetitive tasks, and using UNIX commands, with just a
little bit of geeky humor thrown in for good measure. I hope this book
will do justice to Mac OS X Leopard, which isn't just a computer
operating system; it's an art form.

so new, or industry-specific that they can't be found in conventional
dictionarie.
This unique resource delivers definitions as well as how-to
information via details and photos, going above and beyond the scope
of a typical professional dictionary. With straightforward definitions

iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind
Product Description
Their insights are extraordinary, their behaviors unusual. Their
brains—shaped by the era of microprocessors, access to limitless
information, and 24-hour news and communication—are remapping,
retooling, and evolving. Theyre not superhuman. Theyre your
twenty-something coworkers, your children, and your competition. Are
you keeping up?
In iBrain, Dr. Gary Small, one of Americas leading neuroscientists and
experts on brain function and behavior, explores how technologys
unstoppable march forward has altered the way young minds develop,
function, and interpret information. iBrain reveals a new evolution
catalyzed by technological advancement and its future implications:
Where do you fit in on the evolutionary chain? What are the
professional, social, and political impacts of this new brain
evolution? How must you adapt and at what price?
While high-tech immersion can accelerate learning and boost
creativity, it also has its glitches, among them the meteoric rise in
ADD diagnoses, increased social isolation, and Internet addiction. To
compete and thrive in the age of brain evolution, and to avoid these
potential drawbacks, we must adapt, and iBrain—with its Technology
Toolkit—equips all of us with the tools and strategies needed to close
the brain gap.

(IN)VISIBLE: Learning to Act in the Metaverse
Product Description
Now that humans seem to have arrived at the end of their campaigns of
discovery, conquest and exploitation, the virtual, infinite, digital
spaces are being conquered. It was only a matter of time before the
technical possibilities permitted people to construct parallel worlds
in the digital universe.
A Second Life as virtual existence (Avatar) in the virtual spaces of
data exerts a seductive pull on ever more people. By taking possession
of the internet as a creative medium, an entirely new, globally
networked culture of participation has come into being. Multiple
person-computer interfaces far exceed in their complexity and lack of
overview the discussion currently taking place about possible social,
aesthetic, legal and political effects on individuals and communities.
In(visible) engages with the cognitive, social, technological and
aesthetic dimensions of a dataculture which, in the highly charged
dichotomies of private/public, visibility/invisibility,
individual/community, autonomy/control, attempts to mark out new
routes to communicate the practices and strategies of artistic and
scientific engagement.

Asset Pricing

Asset Pricing
Description: Winner of the prestigious Paul A. Samuelson Award for
scholarly writing on lifelong financial security, John Cochrane's
Asset Pricing now appears in a revised edition that unifies and brings
the science of asset pricing up to date for advanced students and
professionals. Cochrane traces the pricing of all assets back to a
single idea–price equals expected discounted payoff–that captures the
macro-economic risks underlying each security's value. By using a
single, stochastic discount factor rather than a separate set of
tricks for each asset class, Cochrane builds a unified account of
modern asset pricing. He presents applications to stocks, bonds, and
options.
Each model–consumption based, CAPM, multifactor, term structure, and
option pricing–is derived as a different specification of the
discounted factor.
The discount factor framework also leads to a state-space geometry for
mean-variance frontiers and asset pricing models. It puts payoffs in
different states of nature on the axes rather than mean and variance
of return, leading to a new and conveniently linear geometrical
representation of asset pricing ideas.
