Digital Platforms and Global Law focuses on digital platforms and identifies their relevant legal profiles in terms of transnational and international law. It qualifies digital platforms as private legal orders, which exercise the legislative, executive, and (para)jurisdictional power within them. Starting from this assumption, the author studies the relationship between these orders and state, transnational, and international orders and concludes that the power of states to impose rules on platforms is different in terms of their external (in relation to other platforms and states) and internal (in their own legal system) action.

For readers who feel there is something missing in their daily walk with God, Gloria Copeland explains that relationship-learning to talk with and listen to God in daily encounters-is what will change their lives. Knowing God requires a lifestyle of communion with Him. While religion creates numbing routine, relationship ignites the power to overcome sin and to prosper in every area of life. Regularly communicating with God strengthens believers, builds their faith, and makes way for them to lay hold of all God's blessings through Jesus Christ. Warm, personal, and inspiring, TO KNOW HIM is a friendly guide to discovering an exciting, promising relationship with God.
For Computer Systems, Computer Organization and Architecture courses in CS, EE, and ECE departments. Few students studying computer science or computer engineering will ever have the opportunity to build a computer system. On the other hand, most students will be required to use and program computers on a near daily basis. Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective introduces the important and enduring concepts that underlie computer systems by showing how these ideas affect the correctness, performance, and utility of application programs. The text's hands-on approach (including a comprehensive set of labs) helps students understand the under-the-hood operation of a modern computer system and prepares them for future courses in systems topics such as compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, and networking.
