Three powerful technologies— Remoting, Reflection, and Threading— are combined in a single book! And when these technologies come together, you are faced with a powerful range of tools that allow you to run code faster, more securely, and more flexibly. (And performance gains are critical in today’s industry!) So you’ll be able to code applications across the spectrum—from a single machine to an entire network. This book begins by discussing the most fundamental of the three techniques: . NET Remoting in VB. NET—which allows you to customize your application communication processes. The next portion of the book covers Reflection, which allows you to examine code at run time, regardless of prior knowledge of its structure. Finally, the book explores Threading, which helps break up your application into multiple, independent threads.

Ask Haida artist and hereditary chief 7IDANsuu James Hart how long it took him to master the art of carving, and he’ll tell you: “Around ten thousand years.” Hart has achieved national prominence and international acclaim for his towering poles, stately cedar sculptures, and massive bronzes—monumental works that extend the long continuum of Haida visual traditions into powerful new forms. Since his early days assisting Robert Davidson and Bill Reid, through his reproductions of historical Haida poles and his carving of original house front, story, and memorial poles for private commissions and clan-based contexts in Haida Gwaii and beyond, he has developed an innovative practice rooted in tradition, and widely celebrated: thousands of people gathered to witness the raising and activation of his Reconciliation Pole; his Three Watchmen bronzes overlook the Audain Art Museum, National Gallery of Canada and the Plains of Abraham; and The Dance Screen (The Scream Too) in Whistler is considered a once-in-a-generation sculptural masterpiece. This, the first publication devoted to Hart, is both a survey of his major career achievements and a document of an impossible-to-assemble exhibition. Alongside hundreds of photos of nineteen monumental works and associated smaller carvings and bronzes scattered across North America and Europe, and drawing on over two years of interviews with the artist, Curtis Collins illustrates how key animal and supernatural figures reappear across scales and mediums, from jewellery to sixty-foot poles (the “backbone” of his practice), and speaks to the associated activation ceremonies as integral to Haida monumental art. Wade Davis considers Hart’s expressions of Haida resilience within the people’s long history, from time immemorial to the nation’s present-day efforts towards national sovereignty; Gwaliga Hart offers a personal perspective on his father’s work; and in an autobiographical essay the artist himself reflects on his life, and his life’s work.

This insightful book examines the U. S. Supreme Court in a broad historical context, concentrating on the influence of political movements, military and economic developments, the arts and technology on the law and vice versa. Exploring major case law in each period from the Age of Enlightenment and the Civil War to the Watergate Scandal and the present day, James Hart illustrates the role of the Supreme Court in American society. Using historical research to construct a sense of time and place that moves beyond purely legal issues, Hart analyses major Justices, including John Jay, Robert Jackson and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, against the socio-legal backdrop of each era. Ultimately, the book creates a cohesive picture of how the personalities and perspectives of key Justices affected the Court’s jurisprudence and made it what it is today. This fascinating book is a vital resource for students and scholars of American law, constitutional and administrative law, law and society and legal history, and the general public as well. It is also highly beneficial for lawyers and policymakers interested in understanding the U. S. Supreme Court and society.
