This book is a failure
By James Kornek
I was forced to buy this book for my Architecture class. I really regret wasting my money on it. In
short, the book [stinks]. It assumes too many things. It does not do a very good job explaining some
important pieces of information. For the most part, the student will spend the whole time trying to
make sense out of what the author is saying. It is one of these "should've..could've" books!
If you are looking for an architecture book, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Understandable but complex - for a complex subject
By W. Hilger
I used this book for an undergrad Architecture course. I had a great teacher, and we only looked at
certain sections in the book. There is an awful lot to cover in a single semester.
The book is written for students with very little formal electronics knowledge, but you do need to
know some basic logic and hardware concepts. It is based on the i86 architecture, making
generalizations where possible. If you have a strong background, or want to learn very detailed
concepts - then there are better choices. Sometimes this book over-simplifies concepts to reach its
intended audience.
I later found the book useful as a reference tool in a graduate architecture class. Especially the
sections on memory - cache, virutal, pagefiles, etc.. Even though my grad class was on the MiPS
architecture, the concepts are the same.
Overall, this was a decent text for an undergraduate course.
As other reviewers, (good and bad) have noted - when you are learning, you should always use

additional references. Don't depend on this book alone to teach you.

Plan to spend a lot of time looking at other references.

a = b, c, and d.
e = f, g, and h.
b > e while a ac c can be diagrammed in this box if you use h.
g is shown in this truth table if you use a.
Part of what makes this text so difficult to understand is the author's inability to use consistent
terms while trying to explain material. In the first chapter, a simple And gate is referred to as
'AND', 'x^y', 'x.y', 'xy', '()()', and 'and'. All true, but used interchangeably while trying to explain
makes the concepts incredibly difficult to decipher, particularly when variations for representing
other boolean concepts are added to the fray.
The best part of the book, as far as I can tell, is that the key terms are in bold so I know what to
plug into Google to try and figure out what it is.

From the Back Cover
This book provides up-to-date coverage of fundamental concepts for the design of computers and
their subsystems. It presents material with a serious but easy-to-understand writing style that
makes it accessible to readers without sacrificing important topics. The book emphasizes a finite
state machine approach to CPU design, which provides a strong background for reader
understanding. It forms a solid basis for readers to draw upon as they study this material and in
later engineering and computer science practice. The book also examines the design of computer
systems, including such topics as memory hierarchies, input/output processing, interrupts, and
direct memory access, as well as advanced architectural aspects of parallel processing. To make the
material accessible to beginners, the author has included two running examples of increasing
complexity: the Very Simple CPU, which contains four instruction sets and shows very simple CPU
design; and the Relatively Simple CPU which contains 16 instruction sets and adds enough
complexity to illustrate more advanced concepts. Each chapter features a real-world machine on
which the discussed organization and architecture concepts are implemented. This book is designed
to teach computer organization/architecture to engineers and computer scientists.

is one of the tools of attachment parenting. Coined by pediatrician William Sears, it is a parenting
philosophy based on the principles of the attachment theory in developmental psychology.
According to attachment theory, a strong emotional bond with parents during childhood, also
known as a secure attachment, is a precursor of secure, empathic relationships in adulthood.
There's a lot of technical words there. Let's break down the paragraph neatly. This is what I see.
Attachment parenting is a parenting style based on creating a loving, trusting, emotional
relationship with our children. Dr. William Sears puts forth these eight ideals of attachment
parenting: • Preparation for Childbirth • Emotional Responsiveness • Breastfeed your Baby •
Babywearing • Nighttime Parenting and Safe Sleeping Guidelines • Avoid frequent and prolonged
separations from your baby • Positive Discipline • Maintain balance in your family life
Babywearing is the focus of this article, so that's what I would like to write about, in relationship to
attachment parenting. I like setting the scene: You have brought home your new baby, she's
beautiful, he's handsome. You want to be the best parents in the world. No matter what, as long as
you love and cherish your angel you will be. Your instincts tell you that this is the most important
thing you have ever done, in your whole life. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed. Where is that book
that teaches you how to be a parent, how to feed, bathe, hold, teach, discipline - ahhhhhhh! Stop, sit
back, you have one job right now. To create a bond between you and your baby that will last a life
time. The bond you create now lays the foundation for the rest of your child's life. How does it feel
to really trust someone? Your mom, spouse, sister, teacher. If you're like me that doesn't come
along too often, but when it does it feels soooo good. To know someone only wants the best for you,
really means it when they say "I'm here for you, no matter what." You go to bed at night with your
spouse. You roll over and kiss, maybe cuddle for a while and fall asleep. At 2 am you wake up,

alone in bed. It's dark, silent. You reach over and feel nothing. It's a little bit scary. Maybe you had
a bad dream or something. But after a few seconds you can rationalize; he's probably in the
bathroom or getting a midnight snack. Babies cannot rationalize. That ability comes with age,
experience, and trust. ch_client = "articlealley"; ch_width = 675; ch_height = 200; ch_sid = "Article

one week old. No concept of time or what that feeling in your diaper is, you don't even know what a
diaper is, or what in the world that thing hanging over your face in the crib is. All you do know and
recognize is her voice, her smell, the taste of her milk. When she is there you breathe easier, sleep
deeper, cry less, smile more. Now, back to you as an adult. Obviously infants don't grasp all of this
intellectually, but that doesn't make it any less real. Because it is scientifically proven. Babywearing
makes it possible for you to keep baby physically close to you where she and you will be most
content. When she falls asleep in the baby sling, close to your heart, your smell, your sound, and
wakes up in that same spot able to quench her thirst without so much as a whimper, that develops
trust. Now I'm not saying you have to wear your baby in a baby sling all day to be an attached
parent - if you want to go for it, it's actually really comfortable. What I am trying to imprint upon
you is that trust is built at a young age, and wearing your baby, giving him that close physical
connection even three hours a day is awesome. You will benefit so much too. You will learn baby's
cues quickly. And it feels so good to hold a sweet, content baby. And you can do it hands free with a
baby sling. As your child gets older babywearing remains an amazing attachment parenting tool.
My Iris is almost two and the baby sling is still a source of comfort for her. When she wants that
close contact with me she goes and finds a baby sling and brings it to me. I love it. Sometimes it's
just five minutes in the sling and then she's off again. But she knows she can come back anytime!
