The Voice of Hope
Aung San Suu Kyi has suffered constant harassment and abuse from the Burmese authorities, long separation from her family and six years of house arrest. In these 12 interviews, she talks about her passion for justice and the sacrifices she has had to make. One of the very few people she has trusted enough to take her message to the wider world is Alan Clements.The Voice of Hope is the result of the secret and dangerous meetings they had over several years, and offers unquestionably the most wide-ranging collection of her views on the political situation inside Burma, her non-violent approach to democracy and human rights, her Buddhist beliefs, her family, and how she keeps a sense of meaning and purpose under the most appalling conditions. Brand new material includes an inspiring discussion with U-Gambira, the leader of the All-Burma Monks Alliance, conducted after the 2007 uprising (he has since 'disappeared'). There is also an updated Chronology of Events of recent Burmese history, a new introduction and a new list of Burma-related websites.

Rogue Nation
The year is 2014. The Republicans have re-conquered the White House, the Conservatives have just won a second term at Westminster and hardliners dominate Russia. In a small corner of north-western Europe, the Scots have just narrowly voted for independence, a decision they immediately regret. Following the referendum, George Wallace, friend and Senior Special Adviser to Scotland's First Minister, is desperately struggling to stem financial meltdown and political turmoil when help appears from an unlikely source. He can save Scotland, but at what price for his family and his nation? As the 100-day countdown to independence accelerates to a shattering climax and the body count mounts, the action switches from the White House to the Kremlin and from Westminster to Holyrood. George is forced to choose between love and belief, loyalty and morality. He must also decide who he can trust - and which nation is really the rogue.

The Biology of Mosquitoes, Volume 3 Transmission of Viruses and Interactions with Bacteria
The great importance of mosquitoes lies in their role as transmitters of pathogens and parasites, and in their use as experimental animals well suited to laboratory investigations into aspects of biochemistry, physiology and behaviour. The largest part of this latest volume of The Biology of Mosquitoes concerns interactions between mosquitoes and viruses and the transmission of arboviruses to their vertebrate hosts, while the remainder concerns symbiotic interactions between mosquitoes and bacteria. The introduction provides a timely review of the first major development in mosquito taxonomy for several decades. Further chapters describe the interactions between mosquitoes and the viruses that infect them, the transmission and epidemiology of seven very important arboviruses, and the biology of bacteria that are important control agents or of great biological interest. Like the earlier volumes, Volume 3 combines recent information with earlier important findings from field and laboratory to provide the broadest coverage available on the subject.
The Principles of Computer Hardware
Principles of Computer Hardware, now in its third edition, provides a first course in computer architecture or computer organization for undergraduates. The book covers the core topics of such a course, including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU;assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then goes on to cover the related topics of computer peripherals such as printers; the hardware aspects of the operating system; and data communications, and hence provides a broader overview of the subject. Its readable,tutorial-based approach makes it an accessible introduction to the subject. The book has extensive in-depth coverage of two microprocessors, one of which (the 68000) is widely used in education. All chapters in the new edition have been updated. Major updates include: * powerful softwaresimulations of digital systems to accompany the chapters on digital design; * a tutorial-based introduction to assembly language, including many examples; * a completely rewritten chapter on RISC, which now covers the ARM computer.
Extinction X-rated
A deep, psychedelic inner exploration incited by the looming threats of mass extinction, climate change, and global totalitarianism. "Extinction X-rated" takes place as author, activist, and spiritual maverick, Alan Clements, weighs up his reasons to live or die on the eve of his ritualized potential suicide. With a lethal syringe of morphine in one hand and a high dose of acid in the other, Clements invites his readers into a darkly satirical, erotic autofiction that blends a plausible yet unauthorized 50-year history of rebel dharma in the West with all the dystopian elements of 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Blue Velvet, and the Manchurian Candidate. Woven within the arising metaphysical lands...
Microprocessor Systems Design
* Emphasis is on timing diagrams and analysis of microprocessor read/write cycles so students get a clear understanding of the timing requirements of a microprocessor..* In-depth presentation of both microprocessor architecture and microprocessor organization gives students the most complete of 68000 microprocessor hardware..* Thorough introduction to 68000 assembly language programming (four chapters on this topic)..
68000 Family Assembly Language
Clements has a gift for conveying highly complex, technical information in an exceptionally clear and readable manner. Clements writing style is very student oriented, and stresses the basics of 68000 ASL while also covering the latest information on ASL later generation chips.
