Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Secrets of the Moon: Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface provides a unique account of the origin of key features on the lunar surface. Containing historical accounts and the latest observations from the field in addition to exciting data from the Apollo manned missions it describes the development of our current understanding of our Moon. It also explores the fracturing of the Moon a topic not explored in other literature in the area and contains a statistical treatment of the smaller craters of the Moon as well as a geological treatment of the larger craters. This moderately technical account is designed to clarify and update the general thinking on the nature and origin of the most important lunar surface features for both undergraduate and research students. It may also be read by the professional scientist especially the astronomer and the geologist who has found little time to study the Moon’s topography in addition to the lunar amateur astronomer and even the dedicated layman with a keen interest in lunar science. The book excludes nearly all mathematical symbols in order to remain accessible to those without a formal education in the area. Key Features: Authored by an expert in the area Presents a comprehensive account of the lunar surface from historical observations to the NASA Apollo manned missions and the latest observations and data in the field Includes a statistical and geological treatment of the craters Dr. Gilbert Fielder is Reader Emeritus at Lancaster University United Kingdom.

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

This book is about the invisible or subtle nature of food and farming and also about the nature of existence. Everything that we know (and do not know) about the physical world has a subtle counterpart which has been scarcely considered in modernist farming practice and research. If you think this book isn’t for you if it appears more important to attend to the pressing physical challenges the world is facing before having the luxury of turning to such subtleties then think again. For it could be precisely this worldview – the one prioritises the physical-material dimension of reality - that helped get us into this situation in the first place. Perhaps we need a different worldview to get us out? This book makes a foundational contribution to the discipline of Subtle Agroecologies a nexus of indigenous epistemologies multidisciplinary advances in wave-based and ethereal studies and the science of sustainable agriculture. Not a farming system in itself Subtle Agroecologies superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing materially-based agroecological farming systems. Bringing together 43 authors from 12 countries and five continents from the natural and social sciences as well as the arts and humanities this multi-contributed book introduces the discipline explaining its relevance and potential contribution to the field of Agroecology. Research into Subtle Agroecologies may be described as the systematic study of the nature of the invisible world as it relates to the practice of agriculture and to do this through adapting and innovating with research methods in particular with those of a more embodied nature with the overall purpose of bringing and maintaining balance and harmony. Such research is an open-minded inquiry its grounding being the lived experiences of humans working on and with the land over several thousand years to the present. By reclaiming and reinterpreting the perennial relationship between humans and nature the implications would revolutionise agriculture heralding a new wave of more sustainable farming techniques changing our whole relationship with nature to one of real collaboration rather than control and ultimately transforming ourselves. | Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Routledge Revivals: Speaking Mathematically (1987) Communication in Mathematics Clasrooms

Routledge Revivals: Speaking Mathematically (1987) Communication in Mathematics Clasrooms

First published in 1987 this book examines mathematics school teaching from the perspective that it is a language — arguing that this can illuminate many events that occur in classes and highlight issues that may not have previously seemed important. The central concern is with the processes of communication as they are shaped by school conventions and the fact that it is mathematics being discussed. Speaking listening writing and reading are examined and analysed with the first half focusing on verbal interactions and the second half examining aspects of pupil written mathematics. Also explored is the nature of the mathematical writing system itself and how pupils gain access to it. | Routledge Revivals: Speaking Mathematically (1987) Communication in Mathematics Clasrooms

Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

The major purpose of this book is to present the theoretical ideas and the analytical and numerical methods to enable the reader to understand and efficiently solve these important optimizational problems. The first half of this book should serve as the major component of a classical one or two semester course in the calculus of variations and optimal control theory. The second half of the book will describe the current research of the authors which is directed to solving these problems numerically. In particular we present new reformulations of constrained problems which leads to unconstrained problems in the calculus of variations and new general accurate and efficient numerical methods to solve the reformulated problems. We believe that these new methods will allow the reader to solve important problems. | Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory
