This book shows designers how to ensure signal integrity and control noise in high-speed digital systems - particularly important in a Pentium-paced environment where functional logic design is no longer separable from electrical and mechanical design. Highlighting TTL, CMOS, and BiCMOS logic applications in a single source, Signal and Power Integrity in Digital Systems provides a practical solutions-oriented approach to a wide variety of relevant interconnection and timing issues. Special features include noise tolerant logic architectures; power distribution techniques that reduce noise;...

Public-goods theory constituted a major element in James M Buchanan's research agenda throughout the 1960s. This title is a major part of that work.

Utilises the theory of opportunity cost to demonstrate basic methodological distinctions that are often overlooked and to show that a consistent usage of this theory clarifies important areas of disagreement on policy issues.

In his foreword, Robert D. Tollison identifies the main objective of Geoffrey Brennan and James M. Buchanan s "The Reason of Rules: " . . . a book-length attempt to focus the energies of economists and other social analysts on the nature and function of the rules under which ordinary political life and market life function.
In persuasive style, Brennan and Buchanan argue that too often economists become mired in explaining the obvious or constructing elaborate mathematical models to shed light on trivial phenomena. Their solution: economics as a discipline would be better focused on...

Contains twenty-six essays grouped into these categories: the analytics of federalism; federalism and freedom; liberty, man, and the state; the constitution of markets; economists, efficiency, and the law; and law, money, and crime. The central issue that unites the pieces in this volume is monopoly power and its control.

Presents a representative sampling of the author's philosophical views as he deals with fundamental problems of moral science and moral order.

Commenting on his collaboration with Geoffrey Brennan on "The Power to Tax," James M. Buchanan says that the book is demonstrable proof of the value of genuine research collaboration across national-cultural boundaries. Buchanan goes on to say that "The Power to Tax" is informed by a single ideathe implications of a revenue-maximizing government.
Originally published in 1980, "The Power to Tax" was a much-needed answer to the tax revolts sweeping across the United States. It was a much-needed answer as well in the academic circles of tax theory, where orthodox public finance models were...

"James Buchanan belonged to the bright galaxy of theologians who graced the early days of the Free Church of Scotland. His brilliant and uniquely conceived treatment of the Holy Spirit expounds his Ministry first biblically and theologically, then in a series of biographical studies, and finally systematically in the life of the Christian. Buchanan superbly combines the reliable with the readable, the doctrinal with the practical, the theological with the devotional. 'The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit' is a classic work on the Holy Spirit and a master class in theology." - Sinclair...
