An Introduction to Global Studies

An Introduction to Global Studies

Since the 1950s globalization has been an increasingly irresistible trend and one that has exerted a tremendous impact on the political economic military environmental and social fortunes of mankind – and yet existing theories in humanities and social sciences have been fundamentally built upon the traditional “nation-state” model. These two volumes a pioneering work on global studies to be published out of China aims at creating a new theoretical framework against the backdrop of globalization. Volume 1 introduces the core concepts and discusses the critical issues of globalization while the editors redefine notions of politics economics law and globality while deploying globalization as a theoretical framework. Volume 2 examines the multi-level and multi-dimensional nature of globalization analysing processes and systems of global society in the light of globalization and exploring the construction of a stable and rational global order. These two volumes of global studies are an essential reference for scholars and students in politics economics international relations and law. | An Introduction to Global Studies

Astrobiology An Introduction

Astrobiology An Introduction

Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary pursuit that in various guises encompasses astronomy chemistry planetary and Earth sciences and biology. It relies on mathematical statistical and computer modeling for theory and space science engineering and computing to implement observational and experimental work. Consequently when studying astrobiology a broad scientific canvas is needed. For example it is now clear that the Earth operates as a system; it is no longer appropriate to think in terms of geology oceans atmosphere and life as being separate. Reflecting this multiscience approach Astrobiology: An Introduction:Covers topics such as stellar evolution cosmic chemistry planet formation habitable zones terrestrial biochemistry and exoplanetary systemsDiscusses the origin evolution distribution and future of life in the universe in an accessible manner sparing calculus curly arrow chemistry and modeling detailsContains problems and worked examples and includes a solutions manual with qualifying course adoptionAstrobiology: An Introduction provides a full introduction to astrobiology suitable for university students at all levels. | Astrobiology An Introduction

Seeing the Unseen. Geophysics and Landscape Archaeology

SEEING THE UNSEEN. GEOPHYSICS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY is a collection of papers presented at the advanced XV International Summer School in Archaeology ‘Geophysics for Landscape Archaeology’ (Grosseto Italy 10-18 July 2006). Bringing together the experience of some of the world’s greatest experts in the field of archaeological prospection the focus of this book is not so much on the analysis of single buried structures but more on researching the entire landscape in all its multi-period complexity. The book is divided into two parts. The first part concentrates on the theoretical basis of the various methods illustrated for the most part through case-studies and practical examples drawn from a variety of geographical and cultural contexts. The second part focuses on the work carried out in the field during the Summer School. Tutors and students took part in the intensive application of the principal techniques of geophysical prospecting (magnetometry EM ERT and ground-penetrating radar) to locate retrieve process and interpret data for a large Roman villa-complex near Grosseto. SEEING THE UNSEEN. GEOPHYSICS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY provides a clear illustration of the remarkable potential of geophysical methods in the study of ancient landscapes and will be usefull to Archaeologists Geophysicists Environmental scientists and those involved in the management of cultural heritage.

An Introduction to Analysis

An Introduction to Analysis

The third edition of this widely popular textbook is authored by a master teacher. This book provides a mathematically rigorous introduction to analysis of real­valued functions of one variable. This intuitive student-friendly text is written in a manner that will help to ease the transition from primarily computational to primarily theoretical mathematics. The material is presented clearly and as intuitive as possible while maintaining mathematical integrity. The author supplies the ideas of the proof and leaves the write-up as an exercise. The text also states why a step in a proof is the reasonable thing to do and which techniques are recurrent. Examples while no substitute for a proof are a valuable tool in helping to develop intuition and are an important feature of this text. Examples can also provide a vivid reminder that what one hopes might be true is not always true. Features of the Third Edition: Begins with a discussion of the axioms of the real number system. The limit is introduced via sequences. Examples motivate what is to come highlight the need for hypothesis in a theorem and make abstract ideas more concrete. A new section on the Cantor set and the Cantor function. Additional material on connectedness. Exercises range in difficulty from the routine getting your feet wet types of problems to the moderately challenging problems. Topology of the real number system is developed to obtain the familiar properties of continuous functions. Some exercises are devoted to the construction of counterexamples. The author presents the material to make the subject understandable and perhaps exciting to those who are beginning their study of abstract mathematics. Table of Contents Preface Introduction The Real Number System Sequences of Real Numbers Topology of the Real Numbers Continuous Functions Differentiation Integration Series of Real Numbers Sequences and Series of Functions Fourier Series Bibliography Hints and Answers to Selected Exercises Index Biography James R. Kirkwood holds a Ph. D. from University of Virginia. He has authored fifteen published mathematics textbooks on various topics including calculus real analysis mathematical biology and mathematical physics.
