Why do people say one thing and do another? Why do people behave inconsistently from one situation to another? How do people translate their beliefs and feelings into actions? This thoroughly revised and updated edition describes why and how beliefs, attitudes and personality traits influence human behaviour. Building on the strengths of the previous edition, it covers recent developments in existing theories and details new theoretical approaches to the attitude-behaviour relationships. These novel developments provide insight into the predictability – and unpredictability – of human behaviour.

The book examines: Recent innovations in the assessment of attitudes and personality The implications for prediction of behaviour of these innovations Differences between spontaneous and reasoned processes The most recent research on the relations between intentions and behaviour While the book is written primarily for students and researchers in social, personality, and organizational psychology, it also has wide-reaching appeal to students, researchers and professionals in the fields of health and social welfare, marketing and consumer behaviour.

Successful software depends not only on technical excellence but on how members of the software team work together. Written in easy to understand language by a leading expert in the field, this ground-breaking volume provides an overview of the team culture required to develop quality software. Reflecting the different views on the nature of software quality, the book helps groups in a software team to communicate more effectively and to overcome the conflict created by their different perceptions of quality. You learn the roles and activities of team members (including customers) throughout the life of a software product, from before the software development starts and during the software development lifecycle, to after the software has been deployed and is in use.

Featured Except from Signals and Systems using MATLAB

Although it is hardly possible to keep up with advances in technology, it is reassuring to know that in science and engineering, development and innovation are possible through a solid understanding of basic principles. The theory of signals and systems is one of those fundamentals, and it will be the foundation of much research and development in engineering for years to come. Not only engineers will need to know about signals and systems—to some degree everybody will. The pervasiveness of computers, cell phones, digital recording, and digital communications will require it.

Learning as well as teaching signals and systems is complicated by the combination of mathematical abstraction and concrete engineering applications. Mathematical sophistication and maturity in engineering are needed. Thus, a course in signals and systems needs to be designed to nurture the students’ interest in applications, but also to make them appreciate the significance of the mathematical tools. In writing this textbook, as in teaching this material for many years, the author has found it practical to follow Einstein’s recommendation that “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler,” and Melzak’s [47] dictum that “It is downright sinful to teach the abstract before the concrete.” The aim of this textbook is to serve the students’ needs in learning signals and systems theory as well as to facilitate the teaching of the material for faculty by proposing an approach that the author has found effective in his own teaching.

We consider the use of MATLAB, an essential tool in the practice of engineering, of great significance in the learning process. It not only helps to illustrate the theoretical results but makes students aware of the computational issues that engineers face in implementing them. Some familiarity with MATLAB is beneficial but not required.

From the Back Cover

Signals and Systems Using MATLAB provides a pedagogically-rich and friendly approach to the subject. It nurtures the readers' interest by balancing fundamentals with applications in controls, communications, and signal processing. The use of MATLAB, an essential tool in the practice of engineering, is integrated throughout to enhance the learning process. It not only helps illustrate the theoretical results but makes students aware of the computational issues that engineers face in implementing them.

Key Features:

Separate treatment of continuous- and discrete-time signals and systems allow for better understanding and flexibility in the teaching of the material.

Includes current applications in controls, communications, and signal processing.

Presentation emphasizes connections and relevance of transformations used in the analysis of signals and systems so they are seen as a progression rather than as disconnected methods.

Student friendly features throughout the text include highlighted summaries and well-thought out remarks, quotations and footnotes presenting interesting ideas or historical comments, and sidebars that provide additional historical or technical information. Plenty of worked out examples illustrate the theory.

MATLAB examples in each chapter illustrate topics presented in the text. The MATLAB code is provided so that students can learn by example.

End-of-chapter problems provide different levels of complexity for students to exercise basic problem-solving skills and to achieve a level of proficiency and mathematical sophistication.

Available online testing and assessment component helps students assess their knowledge of the topics. Email textbooks@elsevier.com for details.

Wheels and Deals in the Yadkin Valley highlights development of roads and transportation system in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. The book delves into the arrival of the automobile in town and the springing up of auto dealerships, which were founded by entrepreneurial businessmen who built their struggling car dealerships into sound businesses by the beginning of World War II and survived the war despite having no new cars to sell. In addition, Wheels and Deals tells the story of the oldest Ford dealership in North Carolina, founded in 1915, in North Wilkesboro. The dealership is still in existence under the leadership of the founding family.
