One killer is horrible, but two--words cannot even begin to describe the horror that two killers can bring. In fact, there's only one thing worse: two killers in love This book profiles 15 couples you'd never want to go on a double date with This is volume 2 of the popular series

Sports heroes are typically held up as role models, even though some of their behavior away from the game can be a bit unheroic. The athletes in this book did more than just party hard and sleep around...they became murderers.This book profiles 15 cases of athletes who brought the violence from the game into their homes. Some hired hitmen to kill off someone, while others did the job themselves. Some were at the top of their game while others were washed-out and struggling to get by. All fell victims to their own rage and lost everything. Some may think that OJ Simpson was an isolated case. This short book shows otherwise.

In the land of the rising sun, you have to look hard to find a person who is not kind and peaceful; even the most peaceful nations, there are dark alleys where the sun does not rise-where shadowy figures emerge full of rage and hatred...most with a thirst for revenge.In this book, you will read about 15 of Japan's most horrifying killers. Many of the people profiled in this book didn't just kill their victims-they tortured and mutilated them. Be warned: This is NOT a book for the faint at heart.

Cops swear to protect. Sometimes power gets the best of them-driven by greed, revenge, or simply insanity, the cops profiled here went evil.Police corruption is more than just a crime; it is a betrayal of trust. When somebody entrusted with enforcing the law and protecting the public turns on the people he or she is supposed to protect, society itself suffers. The real victims of police corruption are law-abiding citizens that learn to distrust or fear the police.Find out more in this book

This informative book guides you through the key decisions and requirements involved in designing and deploying a Weightless network. Includes a chapter on applications, explaining the relevance of the standard and its potential. Written by one of the lead designers of Weightless, this is an ideal guide for everyone involved with the standard, from those designing equipment to those making use of the technology.

Are you fully up-to-speed on today's modern spectrum management tools? As regulators move away from traditional spectrum management methods, introduce spectrum trading and consider opening up more spectrum to commons, do you understand the implications of these developments for your own networks? This 2007 book was the first to describe and evaluate modern spectrum management tools. Expert authors offer insights into the technical, economic and management issues involved. Auctions, administrative pricing, trading, property rights and spectrum commons are all explained. A series of real-world case studies from around the world is used to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches adopted by different regulators, and valuable lessons are drawn from these. This concise and authoritative resource is a must-have for telecom regulators, network planners, designers and technical managers at mobile and fixed operators and broadcasters, and academics involved in the technology and economics of radio spectrum.

Do you need to get up to speed quickly on the technologies and services that could transform the wireless world over the coming decade? Whether you work directly with wireless or in a sector where wireless solutions could be beneficial (e.g. healthcare, transport, sensor networks, location and smart metering), this concise guide provides a critical insight into future developments. For the first time, you will have a clear view of all the key technologies, including mesh networks, white space/cognitive devices, 4G/LTE and femtocells, and all the sectors or applications in which they could be used, with a comparison of the positives and negatives of each technology and sector area. You'll also see where the technologies required overlap and so could bring benefits across multiple areas, as well as how the key drivers of change in the past may impact on the future.

Since the first edition was published three years ago, there has been continued research into QAM systems. Now fully revised and updated, the second edition of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation presents the wide range of recent developments in the field and places particular emphasis on the family of coded modulation schemes such as OFDM and CDMA, both very hot areas of research. Specific areas covered include coded modulation performance in non-dispersive propagation environments, coded modulation assisted: channel equalized systems, CDMA, and space-time block coding. This second edition continues to provide an all-encompassing self-contained treatment of single and multicarrier QAM based communications.

This work forecasts the changes in mobile communications over the next 20 years to help the reader make informed decisions and develop successful strategies that address the future challenges of this industry. The author offers specific recommendations on which technological areas organizations should concentrate on, along with insightful discussions on technology and the limits of efficiency, standardization, radio spectrum, economics, industry structure, user requirements, and other constraints and drivers. From cellular and fixed wireless systems, to wireless local area and personal area networks, this reference provides an easy-to-understand overview of current and emerging wireless technologies and systems. The book predicts network structure in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020, and looks at a day in the life of users in 2010 and 2020. Contributions are included from leading industry experts Mark Birchler, Larry Marturano, Frank Yester, Michel Mouly, Tero Ojanpera, Malcolm Oliphant, Siegmund Redl, Mike Short and the UK Radiocommunications Agency.

Featuring developing technologies, updated market forecasts, and current regulatory initiatives, this text aims to keep the reader at the forefront of emerging products, services and issues affecting the field of wireless local loop (WLL) technology. The second edition includes new chapters on WLL deployment, the WLL market, and a substantial review of broadband technologies, as well as new sections on prediction of user requirements and the emerging UMTS standard.

The challenge of dividing an asset fairly, from cakes to more important properties, is of great practical importance in many situations. Since the famous Polish school of mathematicians (Steinhaus, Banach, and Knaster) introduced and described algorithms for the fair division problem in the 1940s, the concept has been widely popularized. This book gathers into one readable and inclusive source a comprehensive discussion of the state of the art in cake-cutting problems for both the novice and the professional. It offers a complete treatment of all cake-cutting algorithms under all the considered definitions of "fair" and presents them in a coherent, reader-friendly manner. Robertson and Webb have brought this elegant problem to life for both the bright high school student and the professional researcher.
