Balanis’ third edition of Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics - a global best-seller for over 30 years - covers the advanced knowledge engineers involved in electromagnetics need to know, particularly as the topic relates to the fast-moving, continuously evolving, and rapidly expanding field of wireless communications. The immense interest in wireless communications and the expected increase in wireless communications systems projects (antennas, microwaves and wireless communications) points to an increase in the number of engineers needed to specialize in this field. Highlights of the 3rd Edition include:A new chapter, on Artificial Impedance Surfaces (AIS), contains material on current and advanced EM technologies, including the exciting and fascinating topic of metasurfaces for:Control and broadband RCS reduction using checkerboard designs.Optimization of antenna fundamental parameters, such as: input impedance, directivity, realized gain, amplitude radiation pattern.Leaky-wa

Corporate Finance: Core was developed for the graduate (MBA) level as a concise, up-to-date, and to-the-point product, the majority of which can be realistically covered in a single term or course. To achieve the objective of reaching out to the many different types of students and the varying course settings, corporate finance is distilled down to its core, while maintaining a decidedly modern approach. Purely theoretical issues are downplayed, and the use of extensive and elaborate calculations is minimized to illustrate points that are either intuitively obvious or of limited practical use. The goal was to focus on what students really need to carry away from a principles course. A balance is struck by introducing and covering the essentials, while leaving more specialized topics to follow-up courses. Net present value is treated as the underlying and unifying concept in corporate finance. Every subject covered is firmly rooted in valuation, and care is taken throughout to explain h

How a professional understands “landscape” will determine the valuehe/she places on it and the actions he/she will take to intervene. Inother words, the view of landscape influences fundamentally how andin what way the landscape profession involves itself in a landscape. Theview of landscape gives direction to guide professional performance and also the impetus driving the use of knowledge and technical skills to provide solutions to landscape issues. Indeed, our limited knowledgeand understanding of a landscape can limit the creative solutions we can offer.This book aims to clarify the concept of landscape using the most recentunderstandings to offer diverse and profound new meanings which canpoint towards novel creative landscape interventions. In order to buildthe links between landscape theories and everyday life experience, thisbook interprets landscape according to five interlayered dimensions.It was written in two languages, and uses notes, stories, drawings, andphotos of the au
