The Mathematics of Politics

The Mathematics of Politics

It is because mathematics is often misunderstood it is commonlybelieved it has nothing to say about politics. The high schoolexperience with mathematics for so many the lasting impressionof the subject suggests that mathematics is the study of numbers operations formulas and manipulations of symbols. Thosebelieving this is the extent of mathematics might conclude mathematics has no relevance to politics. This book counters this impression. The second edition of this popular book focuses on mathematical reasoningabout politics. In the search for ideal ways to make certain kindsof decisions a lot of wasted effort can be averted if mathematics can determine thatfinding such an ideal is actually impossible in the first place. In the first three parts of this book we address the following threepolitical questions:(1) Is there a good way to choose winners of elections?(2) Is there a good way to apportion congressional seats?(3) Is there a good way to make decisions in situations of conflict anduncertainty?In the fourth and final part of this book we examine the ElectoralCollege system that is used in the United States to select a president. There we bring together ideas that are introduced in each of the threeearlier parts of the book. | The Mathematics of Politics

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Suppose you were designing a marine mammal. What would they need to live in the ocean? How would you keep them warm? What design features would allow them to dive for very long periods to extreme depths? Do they need water to drink? How would they minimize the cost of swimming and how would they find their prey in the deep and dark? These questions and more are examined in detail throughout Marine Mammal Physiology which explores how marine mammals live in the sea from a physiological point of view. This undergraduate textbook considers the essential aspects of what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals beyond just their environment. It focuses on the physiological and biochemical traits that have allowed this group of mammals to effectively exploit the marine environment that is so hostile to humans. The content of this book is organised around common student questions taking the undergraduate's point of view as the starting point. Each chapter provides a set of PowerPoint slides for instructors to use in teaching and students to use as study guides. New Study Questions and Critical Thinking Points conclude each chapter which are each motivated by a Driving Question such as How do mammals stay warm in a cold ocean? or How do mammals survive the crushing pressures of the deep sea? Full-colour images and comprehensive accessible content make this the definitive textbook for marine mammal physiology. | Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

The Practice of Corporate Governance

The Practice of Corporate Governance

All corporate entities from the largest multinational conglomerate to the smallest tennis club need effective governance. Some features of corporate governance are basic common to all corporate entities: every governing body needs to think strategically and set policies to supervise ongoing management activities to ensure the entity is financially viable and is achieving its objectives. Every corporate entity has a governing body whether it is called a board of directors a committee a council or anything else. Many people when appointed to the governing body of an organisation have little idea of what to expect and what is expected of them. Even those with board-level experience find that the culture and leadership style of other governing bodies differ. The aim of this book is to help them understand and improve their contribution to the organisation and governing body they serve. The book is a simple guide to the work of every board member. Each chapter concludes with a worksheet which enables readers to apply the ideas in that chapter to their own organisation. On completing the book readers will have a detailed analysis of the governance of their own organisation. Effective governance improves performance and ensures long-term success. This book offers a straightforward guide to the fundamental work of governing bodies and the people who serve on them. | The Practice of Corporate Governance
