Book Description

Over the last ten years, the ARM architecture has become one of the most pervasive architectures in the world, with more than 2 billion ARM-based processors embedded in products ranging from cell phones to automotive braking systems. A world-wide community of ARM developers in semiconductor and product design companies includes software developers, system designers and hardware engineers. To date no book has directly addressed their need to develop the system and software for an ARM-based system. This text fills that gap.

This book provides a comprehensive description of the operation of the ARM core from a developers perspective with a clear emphasis on software. It demonstrates not only how to write efficient ARM software in C and assembly but also how to optimize code. Example code throughout the book can be integrated into commercial products or used as templates to enable quick creation of productive software.

The book covers both the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, covers Intel's XScale Processors, outlines distinctions among the versions of the ARM architecture, demonstrates how to implement DSP algorithms, explains exception and interrupt handling, describes the cache technologies that surround the ARM cores as well as the most efficient memory management techniques. A final chapter looks forward to the future of the ARM architecture considering ARMv6, the latest change to the instruction set, which has been designed to improve the DSP and media processing capabilities of the architecture.

* No other book describes the ARM core from a system and software perspective.
* Author team combines extensive ARM software engineering experience with an in-depth knowledge of ARM developer needs.
* Practical, executable code is fully explained in the book and available on the publisher's Website.
* Includes a simple embedded operating system.

A System Software Engineer.......2007-04-10

This is the best book I've seen for the ARM series of processors. I have developed with many processors, on and off the Job and am now planning to develop for the ARM7 and ARM9 processors; particularly the AT91 and the AT91SAM7 series of processors by ATMEL. Base on the processors' hardware specs they are perfect for the small time developer. But, when looking the ARM's instruction set, it appears that programming them requires a steep learning curve.

This book will easily reduce my learning curve, at the very least, by more than half. It is clear, comprehensive, and to the point.

In a world that has strict requiresments on performance, power, as well as development time, a developer has to ARM himself. This book will show you how to do just that.

Excellent for a beginner.......2007-03-13

You know C, you know pointers, you know how to program. But what you need is something to teach you more about creating firmware applications. How to actually make something work! What actually goes on inside this black-box that we call the ARM core? How do you make it do some simple DSP?

There should be a course in every college that basically teaches the information contained in this book!

Very Satisfied.......2007-03-09

Product came in faster than expected and it was in new, excellent condition.

extremely useful.......2006-04-14

This book covers many aspects of programming the ARM familiy, including a surprisingly thorough discussion on fixed-point DSP computation.

Having come from another architecture, this book really got me going on ARM. It complements the documentation manufacturers usually provide for their ARM chips in that it covers the ARM core much more in-depth.

The book discusses everything from register usage to memory management units. If you want to become an expert programmer in C/Assembly on ARM systems, you must buy this book.

Also included is a nice comparison of the ARM and Gnu assembler directives, which came in handy when I converted an ARM assembly file to the Gnu syntax.

If your company will buy it for you, get it.......2005-03-15

In the ARM tradition of charging for everything, the firmware guide by Sloss is easy to read, and comprehensive up to ARM10/StrongARM XScale/926/940. That said, the book looks like the notes from a firmware lecture delivered by an Arm Apps engineer. The book is strongest in coverage of MMU and cache, but weak on ARM11 (1136 only and as a final chapter) and essentially non-existent in Jazelle coverage. Nice features are the toy RTOS which appears early at reappears with more features (memory protection, and MMU, for example). That this book is so quickly out of date brings the point that MDR bulleted last year, that the ARM family needs birth control but that is a topic for another discussion. Sloss' book has 'non-commercial license' for all the sourcecode. huh? Regarding this book, Freescale for example publishes equivalent information (old ESS manuals) in the 860/8260 training manuals for free, on their website. If your company pays for your books, by all means have them get the sloss book for you it makes a great read on the john, but if you are a student or independent developer, you would be as well served by studying the ARM ARM and applicable ARM source code for U-Boot, Redboot and the L4 microkernel, or even Ed Sutter's book, with the added benefit that you would have a license to use the code in your project.

Book Description

Is psychoanalysis a legitimate tool for helping us understand the past? Many traditional historians have answered with an emphatic no, greeting the introduction of Freud into historical study with responses ranging from condescending skepticism to outrage. Now Peter Gay, one of America's leading historians, builds an eloquent case for "history informed by psychoanalysis" and offers an impressive rebuttal to the charges of the profession's anti-Freudians. In this book, Gay takes on the opposition's arguments, defending psychoanalysis as a discipline that can enhance social, economic, and literary studies. No mere polemic, Freud for Historians is a thoughtful and detailed contribution to a major intellectual debate.

Customer Reviews:

For historians more than really radical thinkers.......2004-12-19

While FREUD FOR HISTORIANS by Peter Gay is primarily about historians and the interplay between professors in that field and psychoanalysis, my own interest in maintaining a polymorphously perverse view of my own history, including the intellectual interactions inspired by Nietzsche, Freud, and Walter Kaufmann, who had written a trilogy including books on Goethe, Nietzsche, and Freud at the time of his death in 1980 in a quest to apotheosize a few worthy thinkers, leads me to attempt to examine the six major arguments presented in FREUD FOR HISTORIANS (1985) as applying to my own fractured self. Nietzsche wrote like an author who was not as concerned about saying anything soothing to those who read to relax, as he chose instead to illustrate the danger of saying too much. Walter Kaufmann had been born in Germany in 1921 but aptly came to the United States and served in military intelligence during World War II, then translated many of Nietzsche's works and the poetic drama Faust (1961) by Goethe into English as a professor of philosophy in a country that was so un-German, it had hardly been paying attention.

Chapter One of FREUD FOR HISTORIANS is called Secret Needs of the Heart, and the strangest secret need which Nietzsche confessed was for music. Plato as anti-poet philosopher started a long line of professors who would consider popular songs a reflection of the most trivial ideas of their time, but few professors openly considered the possible emotional impact of rock 'n' roll in wartime. I myself felt like the American alter ego of Walter Kaufmann on that subject, eager to guess what his twenty favorite songs might be if he ever heard them. Freud might have liked more of those songs than Walter Kaufmann did, and the jokes which Freud discussed in `Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious' (S.E., VIII, 9n is quoted by Gay on p. 59) were no less ironic than lines in some great popular songs, once the ice on that subject had been shattered and plunged through. Peter Gay writes about "the guilt feelings of parricide" (p. 12) and answers sought "in politics, in day-to-day events." (p. 13). Professors who do not write about anything this weird are unlikely to confess that they have a lot to learn.

Chapter 2, The Claims of Freud, considers terms Freud used to illustrate mental aberrations, "regression and repression, projection and denial, ambivalence and transference and the rest of his professional vocabulary, as precise descriptions of very real mental acts." (p. 43). People who consider history the result of the interaction of grandiose fantasies, no matter what position intellectuals choose to expound or condemn, even if those who act in historical roles have a "growing suspicion that Freudians are not better than religious fanatics, a tribe of true believers" (pp. 43-44), will have little trouble agreeing with Nietzsche's explanation of How the True World Finally Became a Fable (THE PORTABLE NIETZSCHE, pp. 485-486). Gay explains Karl Popper's objections to Freud's theories. "Psychoanalysis, in short, violated the fundamental scientific principle of falsifiability." (p. 63). But Gay finds a standard in "the measure of the patient's motives, thoughts, and actions." (p. 73). Walter Kaufmann even seemed vulnerable because of the nature of the country that he came from, Germany, and where he ended up, in the United States. I also have ancestors from Germany, but a stronger association was with religion, which took in a large number of the motives and thoughts that seemed important to Walter Kaufmann. Falsifiability might have a different meaning if the true world consisted of attitudes that were capable of being evaluated as traps that might be set to catch young people to their own disadvantage. This is taking history a step further than an ordinary professor would push it.

Chapter 3, Human Nature in History, seeks to escape "quintessentially Viennese" (p. 79) considerations. Intellectual freedom always needs a "platform for a new departure in an old discipline. It was a necessary act of intellectual parricide," (p. 83) which might be a harsh definition of my relationship with Walter Kaufmann, at least since he checked the line on the postcard he returned to me in June or July, 1980, that said, "Give it your best shot." Gay includes some lines by Mephistopheles from `Faust' with a prose translation on pages 86-87 complaining that in traveling `Von Harz bis Hellas immer Vettern!' he has found "nothing but cousins." Readers can see what all makes "a family of desire. Historicists were inclined to make light of such fundamental resemblances." (p. 87). Speak of the devil!

Chapter 4, Reason, Reality, Psychoanalysis and the Historian, quickly redefines reality to include fantasies and delusions that are acted on. In Freud's world, "Worse than being merely unattractive, this reality is a Walpurgisnacht, gloomy, obscene, and mendacious, where nothing is what it appears to be." (p. 124). I should apologize for thinking about Walter Kaufmann every time I read something about German thought, because I always seem to be making it sound worse than he would want to admit, and I was trying to be more American than German to him. What was worse than German was my polymorphously perverse refusal to consider growing up a solution. Even for Peter Gay, an analyst "is aware that external reality, more and more of it, lies along the path of maturation." (p. 126). Everything depends on progress. "As its motor skills and mental capacities develop, the child steps, in Freud's terse formulation, from the pleasure principle to the reality principle." (p. 130). Except in a comic society, where entertainment values rule, as Gay does not say.

Chapter 5, From Couch to Culture, might be about intimacy, affective impulses, and Freud concluding that unsatisfied wishes might create "the idea of a cultural superego." (p. 145).

Chapter 6, The Program in Practice, considers "Freud's essay on Leonardo da Vinci." (p. 182). Erik Erikson's pace-setting psychobiography of Luther" (p. 183). You can check the index for the rest.

A clever book.......1999-11-16

This study is of major importance in psychohistory. With an elegant style and in very clever and intelligible words, Gay is summarizing a century of psychology since Freud, and its influence on history-writing. Though this study is a summary, this book never loses his wit and ridicule, and because this book carries a thesis (you can use psychology when you're an historian), which is already suggested in the title, 'Freud for Historians' is written in a defensive and coherent style, which is pleasant to read. Because much of all this is still in debate, this book is sure worth reading.

Destroying the myth that women in the American West were merely the worried wives or saucy saloon singers portrayed in the movies, the 29 essays in this collection show that females played a vital role on the American frontier. The essays often have a critical aspect, making specific arguments about the role women played in the settling of the West, but what is perhaps most enlightening about the book are biographical sketches demonstrating that the some of the most remarkable people taming the frontier were women.

Book Description

Beisenherz and Dantonio propose a very different approach to teaching scienceone that not only makes science more exciting to learn, but also helps students construct and apply basic concepts and develop thinking skills. Students come to appreciate science for what it really is: a process of inquiry, not just a body of knowledge.

Using a learning cycle strategy, the book enables students to construct discrete science concepts on their own. This occurs in three phases: an exploration phase, in which students are exposed to hands on activities and other experiences related to a particular concept; an introduction phase, in which the concept is formally introduced; and an application phase, in which the concept is reinforced and expanded through additional experiences. All phases of the learning cycle use teacher questions to guide the learning experience.

Beisenherz and Dantonio begin by discussing important questions to consider when presenting new concepts, then they introduce six basic physical science concepts with activities. The activities identify a problem's focus, list the materials needed, suggest procedures, highlight key questions to prompt the appropriate thinking processes, and include important background information. By the final section of the book, you are ready to develop your own learning cycle sequence.
