Modern Thermodynamics: From Heat Engines to Dissipative Structures by Dilip Kondepudi, ISBN 0471973947
Thermodynamics is a comprehensive introduction to this important subject, presenting a unified view of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Introducing the subject in a modern and exciting way, the relationship between irreversible processes that occur naturally and the rate of increase of entropy is introduced early on, enabling the reader to benefit from seeing this relationship in such processes as heat conduction and chemical reactions. The importance played by historical developments is also recognized, and topics are often presented in their historical context, leading to a fuller appreciation of the subject. Recognising the importance of computers in this field, readers are encouraged to solve problems using computers and access thermodynamic data and information on the World Wide Web. Modern Thermodynamics: Presents thermodynamics as a science of irreversible processes.Takes a unified view of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics.Contains many applications drawn from science and engineering, along with real world examples and problems.Encourages the reader to access real data and information on the Web through the provision of WWW addresses.Shows the reader how to solve problems using computer packages such as Mathematica.
Computer Programming by Peggy J. Parks, ISBN 0737714832
Computers do many different things, and they do more all the time. However, computers do not know how to think. Computer program-mers write instructions for computers to tell them what to do. This book discusses the education and training people go through to become programmers, the different types of programmers, and what programmers do every day in their jobs.

Trouble with Computers: Usefulness, Usability, and Productivity by Thomas K. Landauer, ISBN 0262621088
Cutting through a raft of technical data, Thomas Landauer explains and illustrates why computers are in trouble and why massive outlays for computing since 1973 have not resulted in comparable productivity payoffs. He marshals overwhelming evidence that computers rarely improve the efficiency of the information work they are designed for because they are too hard to use and do too little that is sufficiently useful. Landauer proposes that emerging techniques for user-centered development can turn the situation around - through task analysis, iterative design, trial use, and evaluation, computer systems can be made into powerful tools for the service economy.

Grid Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide
Casting new technology in an operational business framework, this is the first accessible guide to grid computing that describes current and future implementations of this evolving technology. Grid computing is a way of networking computers, databases, and applications together in such a way that computing projects can be automatically parceled out to several small computers at once.
