Exotic Smoothness And Physics: Differential Topology And Spacetime Models артикул 8869b.

The recent revolution in differential topology related to the discovery of non-standard ("exotic") smoothness structures on topologically trivial manifolds such as R4 suggests many exciting opportunities for applications of potentially deep importance for the spacetime models of theoretical physics, especially general relativity оддьь This rich panoply of new differentiable structures lies in the previously unexplored region between topology and geometry Just as physical geometry was thought to be trivial before Einstein, physicists have continued to work under the tacit - but now shown to be incorrect - assumption that differentiability is uniquely determined by topology for simple four-manifolds Since diffeomorphisms are the mathematical models for physical coordinate transformations, Einstein's relativity principle requires that these models be physically inequivalent This book provides an introductory survey of some of the relevant mathematics and presents preliminary results and suggestions for further applications to spacetime models Авторы Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga Carl H Brans.  Издательство: World Scientific Publishing Company, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 336 стр ISBN 981024195X Язык: Английский.

Participatory Research Methodologies артикул 8873b.

Participatory research methodologies have been used since the 1970s as a tool to garner accurate information about communities in which development practitioners operate Their usefulness as a collection of research techniques has been evident in academic disciplines such as politics, sociology, anthropology and economics, among others оддэи This informative text assesses the use of participatory methods as a research tool in the contexts of development and reconstruction after conflict and disasters by identifying cross-cutting themes and establishing a comparative lessons-learned framework that can help inform future uses of them, both for practitioners and researchers More importantly, rather than adopting a prescriptive perspective, this book provides a critical analysis of such methodologies Specifically, the reader will benefit from the collation of the experiences of those who utilize participatory research methods in different countries and contexts, and from different academic and practitioner perspectives.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 298 стр ISBN 0754677354.

The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences артикул 8883b.

Preface to Second Edition It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book Much progress has been made, but some controversies remain The original idea of Sloss and of Vail (building on the early work of Blackwelder, Grabau, Ulrich, Levorsen and others) that the stratigraphic record could be subdivided into sequences оддюи and that these sequences store essential information about basin-forming and subsidence processes remains as powerful an idea as when it was first formulated The definition and mapping of sequences has become a standard part of the basin analysis process Subsurface methods make use of advanced seismic-reflection analysis methods, with three-dimensional seismic methods, and seismic geomorphology adding important new dimensions to the analysis Several advanced textbooks have now appeared that deal with the recognition and definition of sequences and their interpretation in terms of the evolution of depositional systems, the recognition and correlation of bounding surfaces, and the interpretation of sequences in terms of changing accommodation and supply This is not one of these books The main purpose of this book remains the same as it was for the first edition, that is, to situate sequences within the broader context of geological processes so that geoscientists might be better equipped to extract the maximum information from the record of sequences in a given basin or region The following are the main themes of the book: Central to the concept of the sequence is the deductive model that sequences carry messages about the "pulse of the earth" In the early modern period of sequence stratigraphy (the late 1970s and 1980s) the model of global eustasy was predominant, and it was to offer a critique of that model that provided the impetus for developing the first edition of this book Model-building has been central to the science of geology from the beginninga??it was certainly a preoccupation of such early masters of the science as Lyell, Chamberlin, Barrell and Ulrich A historical evaluation of the contrasting deductive and inductive approaches to geology has been added to this edition of the book, in order to provide a background in methodology and a historical context Standard sequence models have become very well described and understood for most depositional settings, and are the subject of several recent texts Two chapters are provided in this edition in order to outline modern ideas, and to provide a framework of terminology and illustration for the remainder of the book A major component of the first edition was devoted to a documentation and illustration of the main types of sequence in the geological record, ranging from those representing hundreds of millions of years of geological evolution to the high-frequency sequences formed by rapid cyclic processes lasting a few tens of thousands of years Such documentation remains a major component of the book, and has been updated with new examples The central core of the first edition was composed of a detailed description and evaluation of the major processes by which sequences are formed This remains the central focus of the book and has been updated Perhaps partly in response to this book, many geoscientists have recognized the complexity of the geological record, have adopted a rigorous inductive approach to their analyses and remain committed to a multi-process interpretation of their rocks Such an approach can provide a rich array of ideas regarding regional tectonics and basin analysis However, the original Vail model of global eustasy remains convincing to many, and a powerful guide to interpretation This writer finds that much of the work in this area retains a flavour of "working backwards from the answer" that was already troubling twenty years ago The practical, theoretical and methodological issues surrounding this still controversial area comprise a concluding section of the book The philosophy and methodology that are the basis for the ongoing work to construct the geological time scale constitute an essential background to this discussion.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 480 стр ISBN 3642050263.

A Concrete Approach to Abstract Algebra: From the Integers to the Insolvability of the Quintic артикул 8901b.

A Concrete Approach to Abstract Algebra begins with a concrete and thorough examination of familiar objects like integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, complex conjugation and polynomials, in this unique approach, the author builds upon these familar objects and then uses them to introduce and motivate advanced concepts одеас in algebra in a manner that is easier to understand for most students The text will be of particular interest to teachers and future teachers as it links abstract algebra to many topics wich arise in courses in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus and calculus The final four chapters present the more theoretical material needed for graduate study Presents a more natural 'rings first' approach to effectively leading the student into the the abstract material of the course by the use of motivating concepts from previous math courses to guide the discussion of abstract algebraBridges the gap for students by showing how most of the concepts within an abstract algebra course are actually tools used to solve difficult, but well-known problems Builds on relatively familiar material (Integers, polynomials) and moves onto more abstract topics, while providing a historical approach of introducing groups first as automorphisms Exercises provide a balanced blend of difficulty levels, while the quantity allows the instructor a latitude of choices.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 720 стр ISBN 0123749417.

Semantic Labeling of Places with Mobile Robots (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics) артикул 8907b.

During the last years there has been an increasing interest in the area of service robots Under this category we find robots working in tasks such as elderly care, guiding, office and domestic assistance, inspection, and many more Service robots usually work in indoor environments designed for humans, with offices and houses being some of the most одебе typical examples These environments are typically divided into places with different functionalities like corridors, rooms or doorways The ability to learn such semantic categories from sensor data enables a mobile robot to extend its representation of the environment, and to improve its capabilities As an example, natural language terms like corridor or room can be used to indicate the position of the robot in a more intuitive way when communicating with humans This book presents several approaches to enable a mobile robot to categorize places in indoor environments The categories are indicated by terms which represent the different regions in these environments The objective of this work is to enable mobile robots to perceive the spatial divisions in indoor environments in a similar way as people do This is an interesting step forward to the problem of moving the perception of robots closer to the perception of humans Many approaches introduced in this book come from the area of pattern recognition and classification The applied methods have been adapted to solve the specific problem of place recognition In this regard, this work is a useful reference to students and researchers who want to introduce classification techniques to help solve similar problems in mobile robotics.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 134 стр ISBN 3642112099.

The Carbon Footprint Wars: What Might Happen If We Retreat From Globalization? артикул 8911b.

Climate change is acknowledged to be the major problem facing the human race, and the need to reduce our carbon footprint becomes ever more urgent as the scientific predictions of the effects of climate change become increasingly dire Whether we are fully aware of the social and political consequences of striving for a significant reduction is одебл more questionable The Carbon Footprint Wars identifies the many dangers inherent in the projected solutions& mdash;such as retreating from the spread of globalization, the current socio-economic paradigm for world trade The war of words that is being waged over the appropriate way to deal with our collective carbon footprint has critical implications for us all Stuart Sim examines the issues in detail, raising questions about the assumptions being made on both sides of the climate change divide He argues that we must urgently address the problem of how to engineer the best possible trade-off between economic survival and ecological disaster& mdash;and he puts forward some radical suggestions about how we should set about doing so.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 240 стр ISBN 0748637664.

A major new biography of the doctor who invented modern surgery Brilliant, driven, but haunted by demons, William Stewart Halsted took surgery from a horrific, dangerous practice to what we now know as a lifesaving art Halsted was born to wealth and privilege in New York City in the mid-1800s He attended the finest schools, but he was a mediocre student одебя His academic interests blossomed at medical school and he quickly became a celebrated surgeon Experimenting with cocaine as a local anesthetic, he became addicted He was hospitalized and treated with morphine to control his craving for cocaine For the remaining 40 years of his life he was addicted to both drugs Halsted resurrected his career at Johns Hopkins, where he became the first chief of surgery Among his accomplishments, he introduced the residency training system, the use of sterile gloves, the first successful hernia repair, radical mastectomy, fine silk sutures, and anatomically correct surgical technique Halsted is without doubt the father of modern surgery, and his eccentric behavior, unusual lifestyle, and counterintuitive productivity in the face of lifelong addiction make his story unusually compelling Gerald Imber, a renowned surgeon himself, evokes Halsteda??s extraordinary life and achievements and places them squarely in the historical and social context of the late 19th century The result is an illuminating biography of a complex and troubled man, whose genius we continue to benefit from today.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 412 стр ISBN 1607146274.

The Brain and the Meaning of Life артикул 8923b.

Why is life worth living? What makes actions right or wrong? What is reality and how do we know it? The Brain and the Meaning of Life draws on research in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to answer some of the most pressing questions about life's nature and value Paul Thagard argues that evidence requires the abandonment of many traditional одевр ideas about the soul, free will, and immortality, and shows how brain science matters for fundamental issues about reality, morality, and the meaning of life The ongoing Brain Revolution reveals how love, work, and play provide good reasons for living Defending the superiority of evidence-based reasoning over religious faith and philosophical thought experiments, Thagard argues that minds are brains and that reality is what science can discover Brains come to know reality through a combination of perception and reasoning Just as important, our brains evaluate aspects of reality through emotions that can produce both good and bad decisions Our cognitive and emotional abilities allow us to understand reality, decide effectively, act morally, and pursue the vital needs of love, work, and play Wisdom consists of knowing what matters, why it matters, and how to achieve it The Brain and the Meaning of Life shows how brain science helps to answer questions about the nature of mind and reality, while alleviating anxiety about the difficulty of life in a vast universe The book integrates decades of multidisciplinary research, but its clear explanations and humor make it accessible to the general reader.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 292 стр ISBN 0691142726.

Human Behavior and the Social Environment: Shifting Paradigms in Essential Knowledge for Social Work Practice (5th Edition) (MySocialWorkLab Series) артикул 8872b.

Joe M Schriver's book is different from other Human Behavior and the Social Environment (HBSE) books in its use of a traditional/alternative paradigm conceptual framework to critically examine theories and content relevant to HBSE at all system levels (individual, family, group, organization, community, and global) It provides both student оддэб and instructor with HBSE content that is in synch with the world around us today a?? a global world, war and its impact on multiple systems, social and economic injustice, continuing racial stratification and oppression, and a continuing world environment that too often subjugates women and children At the same time, it includes content through which students and instructors can find a positive and relevant place for social work in relation to today’s realities: social work as a human rights profession, asset based rather than deficit based theories of aging, new understanding of Islam as both a religion and a culture, new attention to the transgender community, and new approaches to leadership in organizational, group, and community contexts (visionary, exemplary, servant leadership styles, for example) In addition, it opens avenues for conversations about some very controversial issues such gay/lesbian marriage, Critical Race Theory, Differential vulnerability vs Equality of Oppression theory, immigration/refugee status, whiteness/white privilege and white male identity development.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 576 стр ISBN 0205520979.

Secondary metabolism and resource allocation in two coastal plants: Effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide on secondary metabolism and resource in Plantago maritima and Armeria maritima артикул 8882b.

This PhD thesis investigates the physiological and biochemical responses to atmospheric carbon dioxide and soil nitrogen availability in the two coastal plants Plantago maritima (Sea Plantain) and Armeria maritima (Sea Pink, Thrift) In response to drought, Sea Plantain accumulates the carbon-based compatible solute sorbitol, whilst Thrift оддюж accumulates the nitrogen-based solutes betaine and proline It was hypothesised that these contrasting metabolic responses will cause a species-specific response in the resource allocation of other metabolites This thesis presents data on biomass, leaf gas exchange (photosynthesis and transpiration), water potential and carbohydrate concentrations showing how Thrift was more responsive to changes in C and N availability than Sea Plantain This thesis also examines resource allocation to other major C and N sinks, the soluble proteins and phenolic metabolites and structural compounds such as lignin As well as the presented data, this thesis details the range of physiological and biochemical techniques such as mass spectrometry required to carry out such experiments, and answer important biological and ecological questions, on wild plants.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 236 стр ISBN 3639230604.

Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics артикул 8894b.
Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics артикул 8894b.

In the context of growing concern over climate change and other environmental pressures, Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics explores what an ecological reading of the biblical text can contribute to contemporary environmental ethics The Judaeo-Christian tradition has been held partly to blame for a negative attitude оддяч to creation - one that has legitimised the exploitative use of the earth's resources Hilary Marlow explores some of the thinking in the history of the Christian tradition that has contributed to such a perception, before discussing a number of approaches to reading the Old Testament from an ecological perspective Through a detailed exegetical study of the texts of the biblical prophets Amos, Hosea and First Isaiah, Marlow examines the portrayal of the relationship between YHWH the God of Israel, humanity and the non-human creation In the course of this exegesis, searching questions emerge: what are the various understandings of the non-human creation that are present in the text? What assumptions are made about YHWH's relationship to the created world and how he acts within it? And what effect do the actions and choices of human beings have on the created world? Following this close textual study, Marlow examines the problem of deriving ethical norms from the biblical text and discusses some key ethical debates in contemporary environmental theory The book explores the potential contribution of the biblical exegesis to such debates and concludes by proposing an interrelational model for reading the Old Testament prophets in the light of contemporary environmental ethics.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 0199569053.

Autos and Progress: The Brazilian Search for Modernity артикул 8896b.

Autos and Progress reinterprets twentieth-century Brazilian history through automobiles, using them as a window for understanding the nation's struggle for modernity in the face of its massive geographical size, weak central government, and dependence on agricultural exports Among the topics Wolfe reaches by cars are the first sports cars оддяю and elite consumerism; intellectuals' embrace of cars as the key for transformation and unification of Brazil; Henry Ford's building of a company town in the Brazilian jungle; the creation of a transportation infrastructure; democratization and consumer culture; auto workers and their creation of a national political party; and the economic and environmental impact of autos on Brazil This focus on Brazilians' fascination with automobiles and their reliance on auto production and consumption as keys to their economic and social transformation, explains how Brazil-which enshrined its belief in science and technology in its national slogan of Order and Progress-has differentiated itself from other Latin American nations Autos and Progress engages key issues in Brazil around the meaning and role of race in society and also addresses several classic debates in Brazilian studies about the nature of Brazil's great size and diversity and how they shaped state-making.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 0195174577.

In the Shadow of Slavery: Africa's Botanical Legacy in the Atlantic World артикул 8916b.

The transatlantic slave trade forced millions of Africans into bondage Until the early nineteenth century, African slaves came to the Americas in greater numbers than Europeans In the Shadow of Slavery provides a startling new assessment of the Atlantic slave trade and upends conventional wisdom by shifting attention from the crops slaves were одебъ forced to produce to the foods they planted for their own nourishment Many familiar foods-millet, sorghum, coffee, okra, watermelon, and the "Asian" long bean, for example-are native to Africa, while commercial products such as Coca Cola, Worcestershire Sauce, and Palmolive Soap rely on African plants that were brought to the Americas on slave ships as provisions, medicines, cordage, and bedding In this exciting, original, and groundbreaking book, Judith A Carney and Richard Nicholas Rosomoff draw on archaeological records, oral histories, and the accounts of slave ship captains to show how slaves' food plots-"botanical gardens of the dispossessed"-became the incubators of African survival in the Americas and Africanized the foodways of plantation societies.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 296 стр ISBN 0520257502.

Eternity Soup: Inside the Quest to End Aging артикул 8920b.

Mix the latest and most rigorous scientific research, irrepressible old-fashioned entrepreneurship, and the ancient human desire to live forever (or at least a lot longer) and the result is today’s exploding multibillion-dollar antiaging industry Its achievements are so far mostly marginal, but its promises flow with all the allure of a одевж twenty-first-century fountain of youth In Eternity Soup, acclaimed science writer Greg Critser takes us to every outpost of the antiaging landscape, home to zealots and skeptics, charlatans, and ingenious clinicians and academics We visit a conference of the Caloric Restriction Society, whose members—inspired by certain laboratory findings involving mice—live their lives in a state just above starvation (“It’s only the first five years that are uncomfortable,” says one ) We meet the new wave of pharmacists who are reviving the erstwhile art of “compounding”—using mortar and pestle to mix extravagantly profitable potions for aging boomers seeking to recapture flagging sexual vitality Here, too, are the theorists and researchers who are seeking to understand the cellular-level causes of senescence and aging and others who say, Why bother with that? Instead, we should just learn how to repair and replace organs and tissue that break down, like a vintage automobile collector who keeps a century-old Model T shining and running like new Eternity Soup is a simmering brew of tes­tosterone patches, human growth hormone (so promising and so potentially dangerous), theories that view aging as a curable disease, laboratory-grown replacement organs (“I want to build a kidney,” says one proponent “It is such a stup-eed organ!”), and bountiful other troubling, hilarious, and invigorating ingredients Critser finds plenty of chicanery and credulousness in the antiaging realm but also a surprising degree of optimism, even among some formerly sober skeptics, that we may indeed be on the cusp of something big And that elicits its own new set of concerns: How will our society cope with a projected new cohort of a million healthy centenarian Americans? How will they liberate themselves from the age segregation that shunts them off to “God’s Waiting Rooms” in the sunbelt? Where will they find joy and meaning to match the inevitable loss that comes with longevity? Eternity Soup is an illuminating, wry, and provocative consideration of a long-dreamed-about world that may now be becoming a reality.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 256 стр ISBN 030740790X.

Genetic Justice: DNA Data Banks, Criminal Investigations, and Civil Liberties артикул 8924b.

National DNA databanks were initially established to catalogue the identities of violent criminals and sex offenders However, since the mid-1990s, forensic DNA databanks have expanded in some states and nations to include all people who have been arrested, regardless of whether they've been charged or convicted of a crime The public is largely одевх unaware of these changes and the advances in biotechnology and forensic DNA science that have made them possible, but we are beginning to realize that the unfettered collection of DNA profiles from innocent citizens has compromised our basic freedoms and rights Two prominent advisors on medical ethics, science policy, and civil liberties take a hard look at how the United States, Australia, Japan, and European countries have balanced the use of DNA databanks in criminal justice with the privacy rights of their citizenry Sheldon Krimsky and Tania Simoncelli analyze the constitutional, ethical, and sociopolitical implications of expanded DNA collection in the United States and compare these findings to trends in other locations They examine the development of legal precedent for taking DNA from juveniles, searching DNA databases for possible family members of suspects, conducting "DNA dragnets" of large local populations, and the warrantless acquisition by police of so-called abandoned DNA as they search for suspects Most intriguing, Krimsky and Simoncelli explode the myth that DNA profiling is infallible, which has profound implications for criminal justice.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 0231145209.
