Death with Dignity
In this book the author makes a case for legalized physician-assisted dying. Using the latest data from Oregon and the Netherlands, he puts a new slant on perennial debate topics such as "slippery slopes," "the integrity of medicine," and "sanctity of life." This book provides an in-depth look at how we die in America today. It examines the shortcomings of our end-of-life system. You will learn about terminal torture in hospital ICUs and about the alternatives: hospice and palliative care. The author scrutinizes the good, the bad, and the ugly. He provides a critique of the practice of palliative sedation. The book makes a strong case that assisted dying complements hospice. By providing both, Oregon now has the best palliative-care system in America. This book, above all, may help you or someone you care about navigate this strange landscape we call "end of life." It can be an informed guide to "a good death" in the age of hospice and high-tech medical intervention.

Instant CORBA
Distributed CORBA Objects have found their killer app. It's the Object Web-or the marriage of distributed objects and the Internet. The major computing companies-including Sun, JavaSoft, IBM, Netscape, Apple, Oracle, BEA, and HP-have chosen CORBA IIOP as their common way to connect distributed objects across the Internet and intranets. Consequently, CORBA is about to become as ubiquitous as TCP/IP. Instant CORBA is your quick guide to understanding this revolutionary new technology. If you're in a real hurry, this book even provides a condensed tour that will make you CORBA literate in four hours or less. Written in a friendly and witty style, this comprehensive book covers: * The Object Web...

Grieving a Soulmate
The book every lover should read. "Orfali writes in a straightforward, often bullet-pointed style, but infuses it with intellectual seriousness and emotional depth. The result is both a useful guide to end-of-life issues and a profound reflection on their meaning. A heartening testament to the ability of love to transcend loss." --Kirkus Discoveries
CLIENT/SERVER PROGRAMMING WITH JAVA AND CORBA, 2ND ED (With CD )
Market_Desc: · Programmers· Developers· Students in Graduate level Object or Java Courses Special Features: · Authors--Proven track record on this topic, they established themselves as the leaders in this area.· A lot of new technology about Java and CORBA is hitting at the end of 1997--perfect timing for an update of the book. About The Book: The hot topic at this year's JavaOne conference was Java/CORBA programming and JavaBeans. The first edition of this book was the bestseller at the conference. Most of the new tools and products surrounding Java development will be CORBA-based. These tools are expected to ship by year's end. Tools for JavaBeans are also expected to ship by year's e...
Distributed Network Systems
Both authors have taught the course of “Distributed Systems” for many years in the respective schools. During the teaching, we feel strongly that “Distributed systems” have evolved from traditional “LAN” based distributed systems towards “Internet based” systems. Although there exist many excellent textbooks on this topic, because of the fast development of distributed systems and network programming/protocols, we have difficulty in finding an appropriate textbook for the course of “distributed systems” with orientation to the requirement of the undergraduate level study for today’s distributed technology. Specifically, from - to-date concepts, algorithms, and models to...
Mobile Agents
Recent years have witnessed the appearance of new paradigms for designing distributed applications where the application components can be relocated - namically across the hosts of the network. This form of code mobility lays the foundation for a new generation of technologies, architectures, models, and - plications in which the location at which the code is executed comes under the control of the designer, rather than simply being a con?guration accident. Among the various ?avors of mobile code, the mobile agent paradigm has become particularly popular. Mobile agents are programs able to determine - tonomously their own migration to a di?erent host, and still retain their code and state (o...
