From conception to birth is traditionally nine months. The first emails regarding the volume you now hold in your hands--or the bits you have downloaded onto your screen--are dated 11 June 2005. From conception to birth has taken over four years. Springer's LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming is dedicated, first and foremost, to promoting, promulgating, presenting, describing, critiquing, interrogating, and evaluating all aspects of the use of patterns in programming. In the 15 years or so since Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides's Design Patterns became widely available, software patterns have become a highly effective means of improving the quality of programming, software engineering, system design, and development. Patterns capture the best practices of software design, making them available to everyone participating in the production of software. A key goal of the Transactions Series is to present material that is validated. Every contributed paper that appears in this volume has been reviewed by both patterns experts and domain experts, by researchers and practitioners. This reviewing process begins long before the paper is even submitted to Transactions. Every paper in the Series is first presented and critiqued at one of the Pattern Languages of Programming (PLoP) conferences held annually around the world. Prior to the conference, each submitted paper is assigned a shepherd who works with the authors to improve the paper. Based on several rounds of feedback, a paper may proceed to a writers' workshop at the conference itself.
In 1868, William Standing, a man shadowed by his history, is forced into thievery, taking a majestic horse that is half mustang, half Arabian. He returns to an unspeakable tragedy: his sister's homestead ravaged by the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, a tribe notorious for their fearsome warfare, leaving only the children taken captive. Driven by desperation, Standing tracks the Cheyenne, witnessing the aftermath of their raids. In an unexpected confrontation, Standing proves his mettle, rescuing the children but surrendering the black horse to his adversaries. Just as hope dawns, the horse's original owners emerge, leading to Standing's harsh sentencing: twenty years in Georgia Penitentiary. His escape sparks a relentless search for the scattered children, now with distant kin. Joining Buffalo Bill's Wild West show offers Standing a guise to move from town to town, yet the Pinkertons' pursuit is unyielding. His quest is a tumultuous ride through the heart of a man's indomitable spirit and the wild tapestry of the American frontier.
A fond, irreverent, and bold look at the advertising world. James Noble's articles go for the jugular and take no prisoners. Noble recalls his early roots in the business walking the halls of Doyle Dane Bernbach as a child. The realities of battling mental health in an unforgiving business. And how the digital age has transformed the art of copywriting. Noble is a life long advertising creative who knew Bill Bernbach. His Dad John created some of the most memorable Volkswagen commercials of the sixties. Noble joined Chiat/Day in nineteen eighty-six and began a long career of award winning work. He has worked with Apple, Cisco Systems, American Airlines, and many celebrities including Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and George Lucas. He has won just about every bronze, silver, and gold award there is. As well as many Cannes lions. In his thirty year career Noble has also shot commercials from Africa, South America, Europe to Shanghai and Vietnam.His relevant, funny, and nostalgic views on the world of "hucksters" are beneficial to any creative working in marketing today.
The Orientalist Or Letters Of A Rabbi: With Notes (1831) is a book written by James Noble. The book is a collection of letters written by a fictional Rabbi named Jacob ben Reuben, who travels to the Middle East to study the history and culture of the region. The letters are addressed to an unnamed friend in England and provide detailed descriptions of the people, places, and customs he encounters on his journey. The book also includes notes by the author, providing additional context and commentary on the Rabbi's observations. The Orientalist Or Letters Of A Rabbi offers a unique perspective on the Middle East during the early 19th century, and sheds light on the cultural and religious differences between the East and the West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
