A bestseller in its first two editions, "Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach, Third Edition" has been thoroughly revised and updated to highlight issues such as how Agile and XP development environments have radically changed the role of software testers by making testing integral to every phase of the development process. Coverage also includes model-based and test-driven...(展开全部)

A comprehensive introduction to vascular plant phylogeny, the third edition of "Plant Systematics" reflects changes in the circumscription of many orders and families to represent monophyletic groups, following the most recent classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. Molecular taxonomic methods are fully presented, as are the results of many recent studies, both molecu...(展开全部)

It's standard in epistemology to approach questions about knowledge and rational belief using idealized, simplified models. But while the practice of constructing idealized models in epistemology is old, metaepistemological reflection on that practice is not. Greco argues that the fact that epistemologists build idealized models isn't merely a metaepistemological observation th...(展开全部)

"This book isn't aimed at those looking for straightforward guidance on designing sound systems to suit a particular application, but it does ably equip the reader with an armoury of knowledge to be able to do so." Lighting and Sound, Sept 06 Review of the previous edition: 'This book is a good choice for music students - and ear surgeons. For anyone studying acoustics for t...(展开全部)

Hailed in its first edition as an 'outstanding work, as stimulating as it is intellectually distinguished' ("New York Times"), "Law and Literature" has handily lived up to the "Washington Post's" prediction that the book would 'remain essential reading for many years to come'. This third edition, extensively revised and enlarged, is the only comprehensive book-length treatment ...(展开全部)
