Beginning with a basic description of the typical wireless link (e.g. RF propagation, link budget analysis, digital modulation), the text then progresses the reader through an understanding of how CDMA works (e.g. the use of Pseudo-Random Noise codes and orthogonal Walsh Codes, Direct Sequence Spreading gain, recovering energy previously lost via multipath reflections), and the significant advantages CDMA offers in a multi-user environment over existing 2G/3G wireless technologies. To provide something of a "real world" application of CDMA in action, the text also offers a basic "day-in-the-life" overview of a generic CDMA cell phone operating on a typical wireless network. This book is highly recommended for technicians and engineers with a basic background in wireless technologies, and who are looking to expand that knowledge to understand how Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum CDMA works, and the advantages it offers in improving the capacity of a wireless system in a multi-user environment.

Civilizations rise, and they fall, often by their own hand. Ours, is no different...And this is how it happened. Living near a small town in Iowa, a young farm boy named Josh Peterson finds his life rocked by a series of reoccurring dreams. Considering them to be little more than the product of an overactive imagination, Josh finds himself jolted from reality one day as two figures suddenly emerge from these dreams in an effort to save his life. As the years pass, this event comes to shape Josh's life, preparing him for a crisis far beyond anything he had ever thought possible. In a world growing more dysfunctional with each passing year, he watches as greed and political corruption push civilization to the lip of an abyss, drawing him into the heart of this sweeping crisis. As things devolve to the point of no return, Josh discovers the men from his dreams are but messengers for something far beyond us which had anticipated this culminating event in all its misery, eons before the advent of modern man.

Somewhere North of London, a clueless janitor tries his hand at breaking into the netherworld of the modern pulp fiction industry. Prone to perpetual daydreaming and lost in delusions of grandeur, this would-be author pounds out reams of melodramatic drivel, shaped by the formulaic style of his quintessential washed-up agent from hell. Yet despite his best efforts, the only organizations interested in his "gift", turn out to be a number of very..."clandestine" groups who aren't exactly focused on publishing manuscripts. Of these groups however, one is completely unlike any other organization on the planet. During a few "cat and mouse" games, this one unique team begins to attract some unwanted attention of its own. As it is about to be exposed however, it simply erases events from the memory of everyone - save one man...as things suddenly begin slipping sideways across tangents in time. Through it all, this lone odd-man-out finds the world is...not quite what he thought it was.

Introduction to Laser Physics is intended to be a "user-friendly" presentation on laser theory. The primary goal in developing this material was to make the mechanisms behind lasing accessible to as wide an audience as possible, ranging from those with no prior exposure to Quantum Physics, to those with some grasp of the subject. To that end, the material has been structured with the more basic concepts and analogous examples at the outset. These basics are then refined as the material progresses, which includes a brief overview of laser applications in fiber optics. More advanced theoretical material is also included in the appendices, for those seeking additional insights and a greater depth. Hopefully most readers will find this more "user friendly" approach helpful, allowing each individual to explore the various aspects of lasers to whatever depth suits them.

Somehow, somewhere along the line, most of us seem to have fallen victim to the notion that science and technology have all-but figured everything out. What with the advent of the smart phone, the smart watch, smart dog bowl, and now the smart refrigerator, what else is there? Compared to a refrigerator that texts me in the middle of my meetings with the Queen to announce to the world we are almost out of bratwurst, walking on the moon seems almost trite. In the midst of this panacea of smartness however, "Some Things They Forgot to Mention" offers a cold hard dose of reality, demonstrating for us the fact that not all smart things are as they seem. As it turns out, much of what we think we know about "science" and the world around us is, at the very least, incomplete. Examples underscoring this fact include many of the key details about how the universe operates, not the least of which are some of the most fundamental forces that govern nature and thereby directly affect life itself. Using a range of select curiosities in math, science, biochemistry, and current events, "Some Things They Forgot to Mention" takes us on a journey of discovery, even as it addresses some of these assumptions head-on. As this discussion works its way across our "spectrum of acquired knowledge", we eventually land hard at the "darker" end of this spectrum where we find the less logical and baser aspects of human nature festering in the realm of "Political Science". In this sea of gross dysfunction and corruption we see the seeds of our undoing -- an end largely fueled by our own hubris and ignorance. This, even as the animal side of our nature now threatens to undo much of what our ancestors struggled to achieve over the past 1000 years -- many paying the ultimate price for those gains with the blood of their own sons and daughters. Drawing from both ancient history and current events, "Some Things They Forgot to Mention" offers us some serious food for thought about what all of this is telling us. Foremost of these things, is the glint of an understanding that causality implies there are certain consequences for the choices we make. As we begin our downward slope of the whole "Rise and Fall" pattern in history, we are now beginning to see the effects of these consequences, and the hint of the certain immutable long-term repercussions they bring that could easily cripple civilization for the next 1000 years -- if not destroy it altogether.

Paddy McCrick wants to be the best young mountain-biker in the world but when he tries to break into a team of older teenagers he faces threats, injustice and rejection from his new team-mates.
