Book Description
"There's a rising star on the romantic comedy scene, and her name is Lisa Plumley! She delivers great characters, plenty of laughs and a delicious love story. I give Perfect Switch a Perfect 10!" --New York Times Best-seller Vicki Lewis Thompson Are you ready for the fantasy of a lifetime? So asks the invitation Meredith Madison finds while house-sitting for her TV-star twin sister, Marley. Admittedly, her life could use a little —okay, a lot —more excitement. Glamorous, talented Marley has always owned the spotlight, leaving Meredith to fill the role of jeans-and-tee-shirt brainiac/wallflower. Weary of living in her sister's shadow, Meredith decides to grab the chance to step into Marley's Jimmy Choos. And when a limo arrives to carry her away to her "fantasy," the guy in the back seat is dream-come-true number one... Entrepreneur Tony Valentine has spent his adult life avoiding Hollywood —yet here he is, trying to rescue his family's floundering movie studio. His idea for an actor fantasy camp is the perfect plan...but something isn't right about his headlining celebrity instructor, Marley Madison. Sure, stars sometimes dress down, but she looks a tad too familiar with the softer side of Sears. The woman's klutzy, awkward, and adorable. This can't really be Marley...can it? Whoever she is, she's going to have to charm the wealthy "campers" into believing her act. If they're anything like Tony, they'll find her irresistible... "Romantic, hilarious, and satisfying! Picking up where Perfect Together left off, Plumley's latest sexy romp puts a fresh spin on the Hollywood scene, ties up a few loose ends, and provides a heartwarming romance for two people who are just made to be together." --Library Journal "Perfect Switch by Lisa Plumley is another example of the author's knack for blending wacky humor with touching romance, complete with a dramatic happily-ever-after ending." --The State newspaper "Plumley does everything right and gives this story an entertaining zest. The bantering between Meredith and Tony is funny and light, while a supporting cast of characters are zany and endearing. Plumley writes a funny, sexy, heart-warming romance. Add it to your summer reading list--it's one of the season's best." --The Oakland Press "Plumley writes with her usual comic panache in this hilarious sequel to Perfect Together." --Booklist "Lisa Plumley delivers colorful characters with quick wit. A must-have for anyone looking for a witty and lighthearted romance." -- Romance and Friends "Peopled with marvelous secondary characters, this delightful romance is a funny, engaging read." -- Romantic Times BOOKclub "Perfect Switch is lighthearted and heartwarming. Make this your first selection for enjoyment during vacation!" -- Romance Reviews Today "Perfect Switch is witty, original, tender and sizzles with chemistry. A romantic comedy you do NOT want to miss. Brava!" -- Old Book Barn Gazette

Pages : 322
Book Description
Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, in our communities, and in our own lives? The primary obstacle is a conflict that's built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller Made to Stick. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind—that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something at work; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the existing routine. This tension can doom a change effort - but if it is overcome, change can come quickly. In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results: • The lowly medical interns who managed to defeat an entrenched, decades-old medical practice that was endangering patients • The home-organizing guru who developed a simple technique for overcoming the dread of housekeeping • The manager who transformed a lackadaisical customer-support team into service zealots by removing a standard tool of customer service In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.

VLSI Design
Author: A. ALBERT RAJ
Publisher: PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.
ISBN: 8120334310
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
This text is intended for the undergraduate engineering students in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, and those pursuing postgraduate courses in Applied Electronics and VLSI Design. With the electronic devices and chips becoming smaller and smaller, the sizes of circuits and transistors on the microchips are approaching atomic levels. And so, Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) Design refers to the process of placing hundreds of thousands of electronic components on a single chip which nearly all modern computer architectures employ, and this technology has assumed a significant role in today’s tech savvy world. This well-organized, up-to-date and compact text explains the basic concepts of MOS technology including the fabrication methods, MOS characteristic behaviour, and design processes for layouts, etc. in a crisp and easy-to-learn style. The latest and most advanced techniques for maximising performance, minimising power consumption, and achieving rapid design turnarounds are discussed with great skill by the authors. Key Features Gives an in-depth analysis of MOS structure, device characteristics, modelling and MOS device fabrication techniques. Provides detailed description of CMOS design of combinatorial, sequential and arithmetic circuits with emphasis on practical applications. Offers an insight into the CMOS testing techniques for the design of VLSI circuits. Gives a number of solved problems in VHDL and Verilog languages. Provides a number of short answer questions to help the students during examinations.

Two rival coworkers with two very big secrets . . . What could possibly go wrong? Cozy up with this charming holiday romance by USA Today bestselling author Tif Marcelo. Lila Santos is ready for her last winter break of high school.
