Type Rules!
"I've purchased and read just about every book on typography written over the last twenty-five years. Ilene Strizver's Type Rules! is one of the best. It's a book that will prove its value time and again." —Allan Haley, Director of Words and Letters, International Typeface Corporation "Type Rules! is a 'must-have' book for students and professionals alike. I highly recommend it." —Prof. Ed Benguiat, World-renowned type designer and educator, School of Visual Arts, NYC Type Rules!, Second Edition is an up-to-date, thorough introduction to the principles and practices of typography. From the fundamentals to cutting-edge applications, this Second Edition has everything today's serious designer needs. Dozens of exercises reinforce authoritative coverage on such topics as how to select the appropriate type for the job, how to set type like a pro, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to design a typeface, as well as how to fully harness the power of major design packages like Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. This new Second Edition also includes three new features: Tech Tips—Instructional sidebars that succinctly explain how to achieve the covered typographic principles and techniques Type Tips—Expert tips and helpful hints that offer insightful details on covered topics Educational Supplements—Exercises and assignments that reinforce material and show how to apply techniques in the real world
CJKV Information Processing
First published a decade ago, CJKV Information Processing quickly became the unsurpassed source of information on processing text in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. It has now been thoroughly updated to provide web and application developers with the latest techniques and tools for disseminating information directly to audiences in East Asia. This second edition reflects the considerable impact that Unicode, XML, OpenType, and newer operating systems such as Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, and Linux have had on East Asian text processing in recent years. Written by its original author, Ken Lunde, a Senior Computer Scientist in CJKV Type Development at Adobe Systems, this book will help you: Learn about CJKV writing systems and scripts, and their transliteration methods Explore trends and developments in character sets and encodings, particularly Unicode Examine the world of typography, specifically how CJKV text is laid out on a page Learn information-processing techniques, such as code conversion algorithms and how to apply them using different programming languages Process CJKV text using different platforms, text editors, and word processors Become more informed about CJKV dictionaries, dictionary software, and machine translation software and services Manage CJKV content and presentation when publishing in print or for the Web Internationalizing and localizing applications is paramount in today's global market -- especially for audiences in East Asia, the fastest-growing segment of the computing world. CJKV Information Processing will help you understand how to develop web and other applications effectively in a field that many find difficult to master.
XAFS for Everyone
XAFS for Everyone provides a practical, thorough guide to x-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) spectroscopy for both novices and seasoned practitioners from a range of disciplines. The text is enhanced with more than 200 figures as well as cartoon characters who offer informative commentary on the different approaches used in XAFS spectroscopy. The book covers sample preparation, data reduction, tips and tricks for data collection, fingerprinting, linear combination analysis, principal component analysis, and modeling using theoretical standards. It describes both near-edge (XANES) and extended (EXAFS) applications in detail. Examples throughout the text are drawn from diverse areas, including materials science, environmental science, structural biology, catalysis, nanoscience, chemistry, art, and archaeology. In addition, five case studies from the literature demonstrate the use of XAFS principles and analysis in practice. The text includes derivations and sample calculations to foster a deeper comprehension of the results. Whether you are encountering this technique for the first time or looking to hone your craft, this innovative and engaging book gives you insight on implementing XAFS spectroscopy and interpreting XAFS experiments and results. It helps you understand real-world trade-offs and the reasons behind common rules of thumb.
