Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction and due to come online in 2007 it is appropriate to engage in a focused review on LHC phenomenology. At a time when most of the experimental effort is centered on detector construction and software development it is vitally important to direct the experimental community and in particular new researchers on the physics phenomena expected from the LHC. Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology covers the capabilities of LHC from searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the standard model to detailed studies of quantum chromodynamics the B-physics sectors and the properties of hadronic matter at high energy density as realized in heavy-ion collisions. Written by experienced researchers and experimentalists this reference examines the basic properties and potentials of the machine detectors and software required for physics analyses. The book starts with a basic introduction to the standard model and its applications to the phenomena observed at high energy collisions. Later chapters describe the key technological challenges facing the construction of the LHC machine the operating detectors of the LHC and the vast computing grid needed to analyze the data. In the final sections the contributors discuss the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) explore questions and predictions for the LHC program and examine the physics opportunities of the LHC using information from the forward region. By surveying the difficult challenges of the LHC development while also assessing the novel processes that the LHC will perform Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology aids less seasoned physicists as well as existing researchers in discovering the numerous possibilities of the LHC.

Policymaking for Critical Infrastructure A Case Study on Strategic Interventions in Public Safety Telecommunications

Policymaking for Critical Infrastructure A Case Study on Strategic Interventions in Public Safety Telecommunications

Originally published in 2005. By weaving together three distinct fields - public policy technology studies and management of critical infrastructure - this volume shows how public policy can help to improve the management of large technical systems. A much-needed analytical framework based on approaches drawn from established work in science and technology studies is applied to a case study of the development of a new public safety service for mobile telephones. This example of emerging growth and change in critical infrastructure allows Gordon Gow to identify current problem areas and to refine a more general set of strategies aimed at improving public policy processes in the management of technology. The work also discusses a range of contemporary issues in telecom policy and regulation such as public consultation technical standards network unbundling and interconnection. This insightful work provides observations and recommendations for policy makers regulators industry and consumer groups alike furthering the improved coordination of efforts across these domains of interest. | Policymaking for Critical Infrastructure A Case Study on Strategic Interventions in Public Safety Telecommunications

Stone Age Economics

Stone Age Economics

Since its first publication over forty years ago Marshall Sahlins's Stone Age Economics has established itself as a classic of modern anthropology and arguably one of the founding works of anthropological economics. Ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively Sahlins radically revises traditional views of the hunter-gatherer and so-called primitive societies revealing them to be the original affluent society. Sahlins examines notions of production distribution and exchange in early communities and examines the link between economics and cultural and social factors. A radical study of tribal economies domestic production for livelihood and of the submission of domestic production to the material and political demands of society at large Stone Age Economics regards the economy as a category of culture rather than behaviour in a class with politics and religion rather than rationality or prudence. Sahlins concludes controversially that the experiences of those living in subsistence economies may actually have been better healthier and more fulfilled than the millions enjoying the affluence and luxury afforded by the economics of modern industrialisation and agriculture. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by David Graeber London School of Economics.

The World of Goods

The World of Goods

It is well-understood that the consumption of goods plays an important symbolic role in the way human beings communicate create identity and establish relationships. What is less well-known is that the pattern of their flow shapes society in fundamental ways. In this book the renowned anthropologist Mary Douglas and economist Baron Isherwood overturn arguments about consumption that rely on received economic and psychological explanations. They ask new questions about why people save why they spend what they buy and why they sometimes-but not always-make fine distinctions about quality. Instead of regarding consumption as a private means of satisfying one’s preferences they show how goods are a vital information system used by human beings to fulfill their intentions towards one another. They also consider the implications of the social role of goods for a new vision for social policy arguing that poverty is caused as much by the erosion of local communities and networks as it is by lack of possessions and contrast small-scale with large-scale consumption in the household. A radical rethinking of consumerism inequality and social capital The World of Goods is a classic of economic anthropology whose insights remain compelling and urgent. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Richard Wilk. Forget that commodities are good for eating clothing and shelter; forget their usefulness and try instead the idea that commodities are good for thinking. – Mary Douglas and Baron Isherwood

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle Kingdom for centuries. Today China’s take on diversity is too easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous – as if China was not legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in education which have often been dominated by ‘Western’ voices by problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu (‘ethnic’) education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion to other forms of diversity education (multicultural intercultural transcultural cross-cultural global education). Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and one-size-fits all recipe they argue that the lessons learnt from researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also help students researchers educators and decision-makers unthink and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book introduces the complexity contradictions and benefits of Minzu while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it should be read with the same. | Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion
