Quantum Computing for Everyone (Mit Press)
An accessible introduction to an exciting new area in computation, explaining such topics as qubits, entanglement, and quantum teleportation for the general reader.Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics and computer science, incorporating some of the most stunning ideas from twentieth-century physics into an entirely new way of thinking about computation. In this book, Chris Bernhardt offers an introduction to quantum computing that is accessible to anyone who is comfortable with high school mathematics. He explains qubits, entanglement, quantum teleportation, quantum algorithms, and other quantum-related topics as clearly as possible for the general reader. Bernhardt, a mathematician himself, simplifies the mathematics as much as he can and provides elementary examples that illustrate both how the math works and what it means.
Bernhardt introduces the basic unit of quantum computing, the qubit, and explains how the qubit can be measured; discusses entanglement–which, he says, is easier to describe mathematically than verbally–and what it means when two qubits are entangled (citing Einstein’s characterization of what happens when the measurement of one entangled qubit affects the second as “spooky action at a distance”); and introduces quantum cryptography. He recaps standard topics in classical computing–bits, gates, and logic–and describes Edward Fredkin’s ingenious billiard ball computer. He defines quantum gates, considers the speed of quantum algorithms, and describes the building of quantum computers. By the end of the book, readers understand that quantum computing and classical computing are not two distinct disciplines, and that quantum computing is the fundamental form of computing. The basic unit of computation is the qubit, not the bit.

Southeast Asia in the Age of Commerce 1450–1680 – The Lands Below the Winds V 1 (Paper): Volume One: The Lands Below the Winds (Revised)
In The Lands below the Winds-the first volume of a two-volume set chronicling the rise of Southeast Asian culture during the years from 1450 to 1680-Anthony Reid vividly explores everyday life in the different societies of the region, from diet, housing, commerce, and law to sexual and family relations, patterns of warfare, and popular entertainment. In so doing he enables us to perceive the underlying coherence and splendid variety in the complex mosaic of Southeast Asia. “Anyone interested in Southeast Asian history should read, teach, and learn from this enthralling, fastidious book.”-David P. Chandler, Journal of Asian Studies “There is nothing that catches better the general look of things on the eve of European hegemony or evokes more effectively what Southeast Asia was like when Southeast Asians themselves bestrode it.”-Clifford Geertz, New York Review of Books “An outstandingly readable example of its genre, a superb unrhetorical portrayal of its society and period. One can scarcely wait for the sequel.”-E.L. Jones, Asian Studies Association of Australia Review “A model of ‘total history.’ The level of synthesis, judgment, and insight are so high as to entirely reconstruct our understanding of pre-colonial Southeast Asia.”-James C. Scott, Yale University “It is the most important study in the field for many years; it is likely to set the agenda for research in the field for many years to come.”-Norman Owen, All Asia Review of BooksRead more

Abstract Art: A Global History
Taking a radically new approach to the history of abstract painting, Pepe Karmel applies a scholarly yet fresh vision to reconsider the history of abstraction from a global perspective and to demonstrate that abstraction is embedded in the real world. Moving beyond the orthodox canonical terrain of abstract art, he surveys artists from across the globe, examining their work from the point of view of content rather than form. Previous writers have approached the history of abstraction as a series of movements solving a series of formal problems. In contrast, Karmel focuses on the subject matter of abstract art, showing how artists have used abstract imagery to express social, cultural and spiritual experience.An introductory discussion of the work of the early modern pioneers of abstraction opens up into a completely new approach to abstract art based around five inclusive themes – the body, the landscape, the cosmos, architecture, and the repertory of man-made signs and patterns – each of which has its own chapter. Starting from a figurative example, Karmel works outwards to develop a series of narratives that go far beyond the established figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art. Each narrative is complemented by a number of ‘featured’ abstract works, which provide an in-depth illustration of the breadth of Karmel’s distinctive vision.
A wide-ranging examination of topics – from embryos to the surface of skin, from vortexes to waves, planets to star charts, towers to windows – is interwoven with detailed analysis of works by established figures like Joan Miró and Jackson Pollock alongside pieces by lesser-known artists such as Wu Guanzhong, Hilma af Klint and Odili Donald Odita.

The Art and Science of Technical Analysis: Market Structure, Price Action, and Trading Strategies: 544 (Wiley Trading)
A breakthrough trading book that provides powerful insights on profitable technical patterns and strategiesThe Art and Science of Technical Analysis is a groundbreaking work that bridges the gaps between the academic view of markets, technical analysis, and profitable trading. The book explores why randomness prevails in markets most, but not all, of the time and how technical analysis can be used to capture statistically validated patterns in certain types of market conditions.

The Art and Science of Technical Analysis is supported by extensive statistical analysis of the markets, which will debunk some tools and patterns such as Fibonacci analysis, and endorse other tools and trade setups. In addition, this reliable resource discusses trader psychology and trader learning curves based on the author’s extensive experience as a trader and trainer of traders.
- Offers serious traders a way to think about market problems, understand their own performance, and help find a more productive path forward
- Includes extensive research to validate specific money-making patterns and strategies
- Written by an experienced market practitioner who has trained and worked with many top traders
Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, The Art and Science of Technical Analysis will give you a realistic sense of how markets behave, when and how technical analysis works, and what it really takes to trade successfully.

Gambling Disorder: A Clinical Guide to Treatment, Second Edition
Gambling Disorder: A Clinical Guide to Treatment is a systematic, eloquent, and exhaustive examination of the etiology, psychopathology, neurobiology, and treatment of the disorder, which was reclassified for DSM-5. Building on its 2004 predecessor, Pathological Gambling, which was groundbreaking for its era, the second edition has been thoroughly restructured and is designed to prepare clinicians to diagnose, treat, and―most important of all―understand their patients with the disorder. More common than previously supposed, gambling disorder is associated with decreased self-esteem, comorbid substance use disorders, financial and legal difficulties, relationship and family stress, and suicidality. Yet, many clinicians are unaware of the personal and social consequences of this disorder, as well as its implications for public health. Accordingly, the book provides a detailed look at the effects of gambling on societal, familial, and individual health and well-being and prepares clinicians to accurately assess their patients and provide effective treatments. As befits a field that has been the recent focus of so much innovative and promising research, the new edition boasts a fresh roster of contributors, each of whom bring special insight to their areas of expertise. Noteworthy topics include: • Currently available screening and assessment instruments for diagnosing gambling disorder and monitoring symptom change are discussed in-depth, including psychometric properties, norms, administration methods, and scoring and interpretation of each instrument. • Online gambling and gambling-gaming convergence is considered in a new chapter, which explores the complex interplay between gambling and technology. Highlighted issues include the growth of interactive platforms, role of new player experiences and reward structures, tailoring of products to individuals, and integration into other online activities, such as gaming and social media.• Gender differences in epidemiology, phenomenology, psychiatric comorbidity, and biology have been identified among patients with gambling disorder, with important treatment implications. Similarly, older adults and young people can exhibit significant differences in behavior. These are explored in separate, clinically rich, chapters.• The always evolving field of gambling and criminal/legal issues is explored in a chapter on forensic issues in gambling, which examines the relationship of gambling disorder to antisocial personality disorder and domestic abuse, and looks at the interface between gambling and the legal system.• Tremendous advances in the treatment of gambling disorder have been made since the last edition, and these are reflected in comprehensive chapters on psychosocial and pharmacological treatments. Full of expert clinical knowledge and cutting-edge research, Gambling Disorder: A Clinical Guide to Treatment is the clinician’s comprehensive guide to helping patients with gambling disorder find relief from this disabling disorder.Read more

From the Dutch paintings and Moroccan upholstery of Tommy Hilfiger’s home in Connecticut, to the leather chairs of Kylie Jenner’s dining room custom-dyed in shades of pink that match the tones of her lipsticks, Bullard emerges as something of a paradox: a self-effacing star designer.’ – The Evening Standard
Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s broad–ranging, sophisticated yet eclectic style is sought the world over and has won him unrivalled acclaim among a huge range of A-list clients, including Cher, the Kardashians, Tommy and Dee Hilfiger, Winnie Harlow and Ellen Pompeo. This stunning new book showcases Bullard’s trademark ‘star style’, from Hollywood glamour and unabashed Pop Art to Moroccan-inspired exoticism and sumptuously cool serenity. First turning the lens on Bullard’s own properties in Los Angeles, Star Style goes on to peek inside the homes of an array of glitterati from the worlds of music, fashion, stage, and screen, as well as some of Bullard’s most luxurious commissions for private homes and boutique hotels. Step inside Kylie Jenner’s kaleidoscopic Hidden Hills hideaway, Cher’s Malibu mansion, the modernist Mexican aerie Casa El Faro – and more. Featuring Bullard’s own range of textile designs and homewares, this dazzling volume pays homage to his inimitable signature style.

David Netto
The first monograph of a distinctive voice in American design whose work, a blend of sophisticated finishes, textiles, antiques, and contemporary furniture, has won him a dedicated following from tastemakers.‘[David Netto] may be the most beautifully conceived, elegantly designed, and eloquently written monograph on interior design ever published.’ – Paul Goldberger
For more than a decade, David Netto has been profiling the leading lights of the design world in lively, illuminating articles for numerous publications. Now, at long last, he turns his erudite eye and rapier wit to his own work as an interior designer and architect. Featuring some 20 projects, from city apartments to country houses to seaside and mountain getaways, David Netto reveals an eclectic aesthetic that brings to modernism a touch of warmth and personality and to traditionalism a jolt of energy and a dash of the exotic. Extensively photographed and with delightful watercolor illustrations by interiors artist Mita Bland, the book is as enlightening to read as it is inspiring to look at.
‘In this first monograph, the celebrated designer and T&C contributor David Netto shares 20 of his projects―from the city to the seashore―along with illustrations by Mita Bland to showcase the warmth and wit that have become his calling card, both in houses and on the page. Until you can get the man himself inside your own abode, pouring over this must read just might be the next thing’. – Town & Country
‘This monograph by the New York-born and Los Angeles-based designer and writer David Netto is an interesting work. It is in the familiar structure of town/country/escape projects. But there, any similarity to what you might be used to seeing in a book about interior design ends. This is one to return to again and again. Why? First, the photographs leap off the page. They are dichotomous: both intimate and expansive as they set each scene. Secondly – and equally significantly – the narratives that accompany the projects soar’. – House & Garden
‘A Harvard architecture school dropout turned celebrated interior designer, David Netto has also earned a reputation as a sharp design writer and historian. Now, he turns his keen eye (and pen) toward his own work with a compilation of 20 projects ranging from sleek city abodes to spacious country homes’. – Cultured

The Art of Making a Harpsichord
For around three hundred years, the harpsichord was the leading domestic musical instrument and often a highly fashionable piece of furniture as well. Usurped by the piano at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was taken up again with the first revival of early music at the beginning of the twentieth century. Over the past forty years, makers have been getting closer to reproducing examples from the historical past. Now, The Art of Making a Harpsichord gives its readers the chance to discover this challenging and rewarding pursuit in a way that is rarely possible without working with an established builder. Beginning with an overview of the instrument, its schools and workshop traditions, the author – himself an experienced maker and researcher – explores the various models and types before leading the reader through the manufacture of an Italian-style instrument, while describing historically-based working methods which are applicable to all traditions. Just as in the seventeenth or eighteenth century, there is no need to rely on large power-tools. This book has been designed to provide assistance to all harpsichord makers, whatever model they choose to make. It is lavishly illustrated with line drawings and photographs, the latter taken – wherever possible – from antique examples that give the reader as full an understanding as possible of the quality of these beautiful instruments.Read more
