A Little Piece Of Ground will help young readers understand more about one of the worst conflicts afflicting our world today. Written by Elizabeth Laird, one of Great Britain’s best-known young adult authors, A Little Piece Of Ground explores the human cost of the occupation of Palestinian lands through the eyes of a young boy. Twelve-year-old Karim Aboudi and his family are trapped in their Ramallah home by a strict curfew. In response to a Palestinian suicide bombing, the Israeli military subjects the West Bank town to a virtual siege. Meanwhile, Karim, trapped at home with his teenage brother and fearful parents, longs to play football with his friends. When the curfew ends, he and his friend discover an unused patch of ground that’s the perfect site for a football pitch. Nearby, an old car hidden intact under bulldozed building makes a brilliant den. But in this city there’s constant danger, even for schoolboys. And when Israeli soldiers find Karim outside during the next curfew, it seems impossible that he will survive. This powerful book fills a substantial gap in existing young adult literature on the Middle East. With 23,000 copies already sold in the United Kingdom and Canada, this book is sure to find a wide audience among young adult readers in the United States.

A woman digs up a buried treasure—and a buried body—in the Scottish Highlands: “There are few other crime writers in the same league.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post Six feet under in a Highland peat bog lies Alice Somerville’s inheritance, buried by her grandfather at the end of World War II. But when Alice finally uncovers it, she finds an unwanted surprise—a body with a bullet hole between the eyes. Meanwhile, DCI Karen Pirie is dealing not only with this cold case but with a domestic violence case, and as as she gets closer to the truth, it becomes clear that not everyone shares her desire for justice. Or even the idea of what justice is. An engrossing, twisty thriller, Broken Ground is an outstanding entry in this Diamond Dagger-winning author’s “superior series” (The New York Times Book Review). “As always, McDermid’s story lines are as richly layered as her protagonist.”—Publishers Weekly “One of the best things about this series is the details of Karen's working life, the obstacles as well as the satisfactions, and the small pleasures of her off hours.”—Kirkus Reviews

This book, now in its Second Edition, is primarily intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of electronics and communication, electronics and electrical and telecommunication engineering. It provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals and applications of the subject. The edition discusses the properties of several types of antennas such as dipoles, loop, Yagi-Uda, log-periodic, slot/DRA and microstrip antennas and also explains the phenomenon of wave propagation with emphasis on theory of operation and design procedures. It provides a comprehension of the principles of radiation and methods of excitation. The book also focuses on antenna measurements along with necessary requirements and different methods of measurement. Written in an easy-to-understand manner, the text includes several illustrative examples. A large number of solved examples and exercise problems with varying difficulty levels are included to reinforce the theoretical understanding of concepts. The book also contains several objective-type questions in each chapter along with a Question Bank at the end of the book. The Appendices provide a rich source of information and expressions as well as design data. NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION Separate new chapters are devoted to: • Reflector Antennas • Slot and Dielectric Resonator Antennas • Modern Antennas • Effect of Ground on Antenna Performances

Intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in electrical engineering and physics, this text presents a science-oriented, mathematically complete, and unified approach to the study of field theory and electromagnetics. To facilitate a detailed development of the theoretical material, the authors reject the traditional historical "case study" approach in favor of the theory's logical development, followed by examples that illuminate facets of the theory. The book may be divided into three parts: field analysis, basic electromagnetic theory, and applications. Basic laws and concepts — along with their implications — are thoroughly discussed before detailed mathematical analysis is undertaken. In addition to rigorous treatments of all relevant derivations and proofs, appropriate emphasis is placed upon the physical significance of mathematical operations.
