Assembly Language - The Ultimate...

Jonathan Rigdon

Assembly language is often considered a bridge between high-level programming languages and machine code. Unlike high-level languages such as Python or C, which use human-readable syntax and abstract away many details of the underlying hardware, assembly language provides a more direct representation of the CPU's operations. 
  
Each assembly language instruction corresponds to a specific operation that the CPU can perform, such as loading data from memory, performing arithmetic calculations, or branching based on conditions. These instructions are typically represented using mnemonic codes, which are easier for humans to understand compared to the binary machine code instructions that the CPU actually executes. 
  
One of the key benefits of programming in assembly language is the level of control it provides over hardware resources. Because assembly language instructions map closely to CPU operations, programmers can fine-tune their code to optimize performance or interact directly with hardware peripherals.

More Sherlock Holmes than James...

Roger Windsor

Roger Windsor’s stories of life as, first, a naive student at vet school, then as a junior vet in general practice, and finally as a senior member of the Veterinary Investigation Service runing a laboratory in Africa, certainly give James Herriot a run for his money. His vignettes of animal woe and human frailty have enduring appeal, and the story of setting up such a valuable service in Botswana, and helping to build that country’s agricultural and forensic veterinary resources, is truly fascinating. With his particular talent for veterinary detective work and more general eye for a character sketch and a tall tale, Windsor will keep even the most animal-averse readers turning the pages of this hilarious and touching autobiography.
