Don Tillman sa chce oženiť. Ešte však nevie s kým. Má tridsaťdeväť rokov, je slobodný a inteligentný, má vysoké spoločenské postavenie a nadpriemerný príjem. Logicky by mal priťahovať širokú škálu žien, no ťažko nadväzuje kontakty. Trpí totiž Aspergerovým syndrómom a vedie systematizovaný život, v ktorom panuje rutina, tabuľky a harmonogramy. Jeho problém by mal vyriešiť Projekt ideálna manželka – podrobný dotazník, pomocou ktorého chce nájsť svoju partnerku. Rozhodne by ňou nemala byť fajčiarka, barmanka, žena, čo priveľa pije a chodí vždy neskoro. Rosie Jarmanová má všetky tieto nežiaduce vlastnosti. Okrem toho je temperamentná, inteligentná a krásna a túži spoznať svojho biologického otca. Pri tomto hľadaní by jej Don, profesor genetiky, mohol byť veľmi nápomocný.

OSLAVA NAJLEPŠÍCH VLASTNOSTÍ, KTORÉ MOŽNO NÁJSŤ V PRIATEĽOVI, MANŽELOVI ALEBO OTCOVI Humorný román o Donovi, mužovi s Aspergerovým syndrómom, a jeho manželke Rosie a o tom, ako sa Don vyrovná so správou, že čakajú dieťa. Je to voľné pokračovanie prvej knihy Projekt ideálna manželka. V manželstve musí rozum často ustúpiť harmónii. Volám sa Don Tillman, mám štyridsaťjeden rokov a s Rosie Jarmanovou, najdokonalejšou ženou na svete, som ženatý už desať mesiacov a desať dní. Manželstvo výrazne obohatilo môj život. Keď sme sa presťahovali do New Yorku, Rosie priniesla tri obrovské kufre. Zrušili sme štandardizovaný systém jedál a dohodli sme sa, že sex nebudeme plánovať. Potom mi Rosie oznámila, že „musíme niečo osláviť“ a musel som čeliť ešte väčšej výzve ako nájdenie ideálnej manželky. Pokúsil som sa riadiť tradičnými postupmi a čerpal som rady od všetkých svojich šiestich priateľov, od terapeutky aj z internetu. Výsledkom bola pavučina klamstiev. Teraz mi hrozí trestné stíhanie, vypovedanie z krajiny a profesionálna hanba. A to, že navždy stratím Rosie.

This book is generally considered to be one of the best practical guides to data modeling and is commonly praised for its clarity and usefulness. Although it is a practitioner's guide, it garnered healthy classroom adoptions in the US and Australia. For the 3rd ed the authors have added a substantial online component including UML versions of all the diagrams, extra examples, course notes, questions, and solutions. Also, Graeme Simsion is a highly regarded member of the data management community, both in academia and industry. He won the 2002 DAMA Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2003 International Achievement Award. (Midwest).

DATA MODELING THEORY AND PRACTICE is for practitioners and academics who have learned the conventions and rules of data modeling and are looking for a deeper understanding of the discipline. The coverage of theory includes a detailed review of the extensive literature on data modeling and logical database design, referencing nearly 500 publications, with a strong focus on their relevance to practice. The practice component incorporates the largest-ever study of data modeling practitioners, involving over 450 participants in interviews, surveys and data modeling tasks. The results challenge many longstanding held assumptions about data modeling and will be of interest to academics and practitioners alike.Graeme Simsion brings to the book the practical perspective and intellectual clarity that have made his Data Modeling Essentials a classic in the field. He begins with a question about the nature of data modeling (design or description), and uses it to illuminate such issues as the definition of data modeling, its philosophical underpinnings, inputs and deliverables, the necessary behaviors and skills, the role of creativity, product diversity, quality measures, personal styles, and the differences between experts and novices.Data Modeling Theory and Practice is essential reading for anyone involved in data modeling practice, research, or teaching.

Internationally bestselling husband-and-wife writing team, Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist return with another smart, romantic adventure set on another of Europe's incredible pilgrimages. TWO STEPS ONWARD is the wise and witty follow-up to TWO STEPS FORWARD. It's about helping the people you love, and knowing when to let go. Figuring out what you really want in life. And seizing your chances, before it's too late. Three years after life got in the way of their long-distance relationship, Californian artist Zoe and English engineer Martin have an unexpected opportunity to reunite: a second chance to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims in Europe. This time, they won't be walking the famous Camino de Santiago to north-west Spain but the less-travelled Chemin d'Assise and Via Francigena to Rome, along the mountainous paths from rural France. And rather than each setting off solo, they will accompany Zoe's old friend Camille--who, despite her life-threatening illness, insists she will walk the whole 1000 miles to seek an audience with the Pope--and her not-so-ex-husband, Gilbert, who sees the trip as a gourmet tour. Then Bernhard, Martin's young nemesis from the previous trek, shows up, along with Martin's daughter, Sarah, who is having a quarter-life crisis and doesn't exactly hit it off with Zoe...
