Overview: Are the secular foundations of international relations sustainable at present? This comprehensive study shows how the global resurgence of religion confronts international relations theory with a theoretical challenge comparable to that raised by the end of the Cold War or the emergence of globalization. The volume tries to shake the secular foundational myths of the discipline and outline the need for an expansion into religiously inspired spheres of thought. It also challenges the most condemning accusation against religion: the view that the politicization of religion is always a

Overview: Silicon technology now allows us to build chips consisting oftens of millions of transistors. This technology not only promises newlevels of system integration onto a single chip, but also presentssignificant challenges to the chip designer. As a result, many ASICdevelopers and silicon vendors are re-examining their designmethodologies, searching for ways to make effective use of the hugenumbers of gates now available. .These designers see current design tools and methodologies asinadequate for developing million-gate ASICs from scratch. There isconsiderable pressure to keep design t
