Tento autor sa s neuveriteľnou vášňou a vytrvalosťou ponoril do sveta tučniakov. Jeho celoživotná láska k fotografii a zvieratám ho viedla k tomu, aby strávil dve letá na južných oceánoch a dokumentoval sedemnásť druhov tučniakov v ich prirodzenom prostredí. Táto expedícia nebola len o zachytení obrazov, ale aj o hlbokom bádaní, ktoré spojilo najnovší výskum s jeho pôsobivými fotografiami. Výsledkom je dielo, ktoré ponúka bezprecedentný pohľad do života týchto fascinujúcich vtákov a predstavuje ich deťom prostredníctvom pútavých príbehov doplnených o vlastné fotografie autora.

"This new edition of Data Compression provides a comprehensive reference for the many different types and methods of compression. Included are a detailed and helpful taxonomy, a description of most common methods, and discussions on the use and comparative benefits of methods and descriptions of "how to" use them. The presentation is organized into the main branches of the field of data compression: run length encoding, statistical methods, dictionary-based methods, image compression, audio compression, and video compression." "The book provides an invaluable reference and guide for all computer scientists, computer engineers, electrical engineers, signal/image processing engineers, and other scientists needing a comprehensive compilation for a broad range of compression methods."--BOOK JACKET.
