In Exploratory Software Testing, leading software testing expert James A. Whittaker reveals the real causes of today's most serious, well-hidden software bugs - and introduces powerful new "exploratory" techniques for uncovering them. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working at the cutting edge of testing with Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Florida Tech, Whittaker introduces powerful new processes for manual testing that are repeatable, prescriptive, teachable, and effective. Whittaker identifies various types of exploratory testing, then shows when to use each, how to use them all successfully, and how to integrate them with existing automated testing methods. Concise, entertaining, and actionable, this book guides software professionals on the tactical and strategic decisions that can make or break their testing processes. Whittaker shows how to make manual testing more effective and less boring; offers specific guidance on choosing test cases; and shows how to reflect feedback from the development process. Above all, Exploratory Software Testing shows how to uncover the hidden "show-stopper" bugs that so often evade conventional testing.

Harmonic Trading is today's most powerful, well-proven new approach to technical analysis. Now, in the second volume of an indispensable two volume set, Harmonic Trading creator Scott Carney presents even more new and advanced techniques for unlocking valid market signals as if they were the combination to a safe. Harmonic Trading of the Financial Markets, Volume 2 begins with a brand-new review of today's markets from a harmonic trading perspective. Next, it introduces a series of new and advanced concepts presented in no other book, including the 5-0 pattern and Alternate Bat pattern. Carney also introduces the RSI BAMM Advanced Execution Model, a breakthrough approach to applying Harmonic Trading in real trades. The natural harmonic patterns in this book are designed to consistently identify critical price levels and market turning points: patterns analogous to the predictable behavior of natural systems. Carney supports them with examples from widely diverse markets, including 2008's extraordinarily bearish environment. As in Volume 1, Carney guides traders gently up the learning curve, sharing personal experiences and presenting many clear illustrations. These books don't just introduce valuable new technical analysis techniques: they provide the tools and help traders need to succeed with them.

Structural Mechanics, first published in 1958, has become established as a classic text on the theory of structures and design methods of structural members. The book clearly and logically presents the subject's basic principles, keeping the mathematical content to its essential minimum. The seventh edition has been revised to provide up-to-date design guidance, principles in line with the current British Standards and Eurocodes. The original simplicity of the mathematical treatment has been maintained, while more emphasis on the relevance of structural mechanics to the process of structural design, analysis, materials, loads on building and structures according to the current British Standard and European Code of Practice. The initial chapters of the book deal with the concept of loads and their effects on structural materials and elements in terms of stress and strain. The significance of the shape of the cross-section of structural elements is then considered before the book finishes with the design of simple structural elements such as beams, columns, rafters, portal frames, dome frames and gravity retaining walls.
