Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics Book

EBook Description: Publisher: Berg Publishers 2008-05-15 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1845201000 | PDF | 1.7 MB<br>The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, but many human rights activists support a boycott. They liken the circumstances to previous governments that used the games to glorify their regimes--most notoriously the Nazis in 1936. What has led to this perception and is it fair?<br>Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics is a cultural history of sport in China that challenges many such ingrained Western assumptions. The authors unpick the relationship of sport to imperialism and revolution and examine its significance in both China and Taiwan at governmental and everyday levels. In the process they successfully debunk harmful myths, such as the prevalence of drugs in Chinese sport among women athletes, and present a balanced view that is a much-needed corrective to popular understanding.

This fascinating look at combinatorial games, that is, games not involving chance or hidden information, offers updates on standard games such as Go and Hex, on impartial games such as Chomp and Wythoff's Nim, and on aspects of games with infinitesimal values, plus analyses of the complexity of some games and puzzles and surveys on algorithmic game theory, on playing to lose, and on coping with cycles. The volume is rounded out with an up-to-date bibliography by Fraenkel and, for readers eager to get their hands dirty, a list of unsolved problems by Guy and Nowakowski. Highlights include some of Siegel's groundbreaking work on loopy games, the unveiling by Friedman and Landsberg of the use of renormalization to give very intriguing results about Chomp, and Nakamura's "Counting Liberties in Capturing Races of Go." Like its predecessors, this book should be on the shelf of all serious games enthusiasts.

Games on Symbian OS A Handbook for Mobile Development Book

This book divides into four parts. The first part introduces the world of mobile games. It aims to explain what mobile games are, who plays them, who writes and sells them, how they sell them and what the major issues are in the marketplace. We�ll look at some statistics for the sales of mobile games and mobile phones, and make comparisons with game consoles, handheld systems and PC games. The first chapter is not technical and is suitable for anyone interested in finding out more about the mobile games industry. However, there is an excursion into the differences between BREW, Java ME and native C++ games, a brief foray into issues of compatibility and portability, and a short introduction to some of the aspects of game development that characterize any mobile platform. So there�s something for developers too: topics are introduced gradually, with signposts directing readers where to go for more information within the rest of the book � and beyond.
