This comprehensive, practical tutorial helps programmers understand both C++ and object-oriented design methodologies, so they can write C++ that truly meets its potential. This text incorporates the newer language features, including templates and exception handling, and explains how to apply C++ language constructs, design guidelines, and object-oriented methodology to solve real world problems.

Forensic entomology is the study of insects associated with carrion in order to determine elapsed time since death in homicide investigations. Organisms (invertebrates) colonize the carrion in a predictable sequence in terrestrial and buried scenarios. This sequence is different if the body is submerged in a lake or stream habitat. This sequence of organisms colonizing the carrion, or corpse, can be used to determine time since submergence, which may aid in determining time since death. This research will be valuable in criminal investigations currently pending, as well as in the future.

"In Graphic Wit, the first book offering a comprehensive survey of humor in graphic design, Heller and Anderson focus on that special instinct for playfulness inherent in all design, and show the many forms it can take in a skilled graphic artist''s hands. Loaded with examples of successful design humor in such varied forms as book and record jackets, logos, posters, typography, and advertising, Graphic Wit examines the approaches designers can use for comic effect, including repetition, alteration of scale, and juxtaposition, as well as such specific mechanisms as visual puns, parody, nostalgia, wordplay, and typeplay. Case studies of successful ad campaigns reveal how humor can be used for maximum effectiveness and memorability, and in-depth interviews with 14 design luminaries, including Paul Rand, Paula Scher, and Stephen Doyle, provide insight into the play principle, making humor pay off financially, and the challenges involved in humorous design."--back cover.
