Database Management Systems provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the fundamentals of database systems. Coherent explanations and practical examples have made this one of the leading texts in the field. The third edition continues in this tradition, enhancing it with more practical material. The new edition has been reorganized to allow more flexibility in the way the course is taught. Now, instructors can easily choose whether they would like to teach a course which emphasizes database application development or a course that emphasizes database systems issues. New overview chapters at the beginning of parts make it possible to skip other chapters in the part if you don't want the detail. More applications and examples have been added throughout the book, including SQL and Oracle examples. The applied flavor is further enhanced by the two new database applications chapters.

This book examines the ways that writing is taught in this age of technology. The book begins with writing about "tools" (technical writing), considers writing itself as a tool, and concludes with tools that aid writing. The aim is to study the interpenetration of writing and technology in order to determine how technology has affected writing. The book is allied with a tradition of opposition to technology and to the main thrust of composition research over the last 10 years. Writing, it is concluded, is not reducible to technology because it is an activity rooted in meaning and human relations. Chapter topics cover: (1) the technology of writing; (2) common sense in communications; (3) technical writing; (4) information transfer; (5) objectivity of technical writing; (6) audience awareness; (7) use and purpose of outlines; (8) paragraph structure; and (9) computers and the techniques of writing. A summary chart of the discussion, notes, and reference list are appended. (RS)
