Digital Design: Principles and Practices Package (4th Edition)

Excellent Book.......2006-03-15

I bought this book for my Intro to Digital Circuits course. So, far, I have found this book highly useful. Its contents are easy to understand and it has a lot of examples to explain any particular content in detail. This book is self-explanatory. Even if I miss my class one day, I don't have much trouble catching up as long as I have this book.

Review of Digital Design Principles and Practices by John F. Wakerly.......2006-02-03

The book came to me severly damaged before it was even packaged. The first 313 pages were severly gouged out of the bottom pages about 1/4" deep x 1/2" x 1/2" (inches), close to the spine. I did not have time to return it because my course started Jan. 10, 2006 and the Delivery estimate was: January 6, 2006 - January 10, 2006.

I am very disappointed with this product and purchase.

A Good Reference.......2005-09-21

First and foremost, this book is definitely not a good introductory course book. It is a reference book because of how it covers the conceptual material.

This book provides an extreme amount of detail in the many aspects of the field. If you have basic knowledge of circuitry, you should be fine in understanding this book. If you do not have any experience at all, however, this book will be difficult to manage.

On the positive side, as a reference, this book is superior. The book starts with introductory concepts such as working with number systems and how to perform arithmetic (simple and complex) in binary. I was confused by the placement of Chapter 3. Immediately following number systems, the author jumps to electrical behavior and layout of transistors to comprise CMOS logic. While a necessary topic, I felt that it could have been delayed to a future chapter.

Afterward, standard topics are covered amidst advanced topics. I felt it would have been easier for the reader to master the simple, ideal designs before having to worry about timing characteristics and other non-ideal concepts.

The book discusses simple logic gates all the way through sequential logic design, which is a nice touch. It is good to have all of the material in this book in one place and definitely recommend the book to anyone in logic design. While not the most advanced book, its wide array of topics and coverage will help to fill in the gaps that other books create.

A Book Where Brain, Knowledge and Sense of Humor Meet.......2005-03-19

This book was the reason i enjoyed my undergrad logic design class (which used another [bad] textbook): this is a strong book with strong explanations, thinking reasonings, nice examples, thorough VHDL and Verilog sections, lots of 'real-world' information. The author is precise, logical, goes deep but very straightforward, and funny (!). Where our textbook had gabs, where my professor's lectures were vague, where all other explanations seemed cheesy to me - Wakerly just filled me up.

Excellent.......2004-08-06

Reading through the reviews that are available as I'm composing this post, I note that all of the foreign readers give it 5 stars, and all the bad reviews come from America. Also, I note a whiney tone in most of the bad reviews. I found the book to be excellent.

Book Description

Fiscal problems have long been considered a central feature of financial--that is, currency, debt, and banking--crises. This paper addresses four questions: What are the fiscal causes of crises? Which fiscal vulnerability indicators help to predict crises? Can fiscal variables explain the severity of crises? And what are the fiscal consequences of crises? Its findings are based on statistical analysis of a large dataset of fiscal variables for 29 emerging market economies over 1970-2000 and detailed case studies of 11 emerging market crises during the 1990s that focus on structural and institutional dimensions of fiscal vulnerability.
