We all know what water is and many of us take it for granted But because it seems so natural, the way we see water is seldom given critical attention This book provides a much-needed analysis of how we view water, showing that modern understandings have given rise to a global crisis Jamie Linton argues that modern Western society tends to understand ожжъи water as a scientific abstraction - as merely H20 or the substance occurring in the hydrologic cycle We have lost sight of its essential fecundity and stripped it of its wider environmental, social, and cultural contexts This removal, or abstraction, has given modern society license to treat water as something that may dammed, diverted, and manipulated with impunity The water crisis can be averted, Linton concludes, by deliberately reinvesting water with social content.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 336 стр ISBN 0774817011.

Political and economic institutions are typically governed by committees that face the challenge to reconcile the preferences of their members How should decision rules be designed to generate fair and sustainable agreements, for example if committee members represent groups of different sizes? This book uses game-theoretic concepts and ожжън models to address the issue of political decision-making processes In addition to providing a survey on basic game-theoretic tools in the analysis of political decisions, the author looks at specific issues such as two-tiered voting systems or the influence of lobbyists on legislative committees, and shows how the models can be applied to real-world contexts such as the EU decision-making institutions.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 126 стр ISBN 3642041523.

Computer modeling is now an integral part of research in evolutionary biology The advent of increased processing power in the personal computer, coupled with the availability of languages such as R, SPLUS, Mathematica, Maple, Mathcad, and MATLAB, has ensured that the development and analysis of computer models of evolution is now within the ожжыг capabilities of most graduate students However, there are two hurdles that tend to discourage students from making full use of the power of computer modeling The first is the general problem of formulating the question and the second is its implementation using an appropriate computer language Modelling Evolution outlines how evolutionary questions are formulated and how, in practice, they can be resolved by analytical and numerical methods (with the emphasis being on the latter) Following a general introduction to computer modeling, successive chapters describe "Fisherian" optimality models, invasibility analysis, genetic models, game theoretic models, and dynamic programming A common chapter plan facilitates tuition and comprises an introduction (in which the general approach and methods are described) followed by a series of carefully structured scenarios that have been selected to highlight particular aspects of evolutionary modeling Coding for each example is provided in either R or MATLAB since both of these programs are readily available and extensively used This coding is available on the author's web site allowing easy implementation and study of the programs Each chapter concludes with a list of exemplary papers which have been chosen on the basis of how well they explain and illustrate the techniques discussed in the chapter.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 352 стр ISBN 0199571147.

From the earliest times, the medicinal properties of certain herbs were connected with deities, particularly goddesses Only now with modern scientific research can we begin to understand the basis and rationality that these divine connections had and, being preserved in myths and religious stories, they continued to have a significant impact ожжыл through the present day Riddle argues that the pomegranate, mandrake, artemisia, and chaste tree plants substantially altered the development of medicine and fertility treatments The herbs, once sacred to Inanna, Aphrodite, Demeter, Artemis, and Hermes, eventually came to be associated with darker forces, representing the instruments of demons and witches Riddle's ground-breaking work highlights the important medicinal history that was lost and argues for its rightful place as one of the predecessors.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 0230610641.

Change is never a stepwise or easily prescribed process Rather, it is messy and complicated, and its outcomes are easily swayed by a host of factors In this context, leaders need to develop and utilize realistic frameworks for organizational change They need to implement a holistic change model that defines and justifies the proposed change, and ожжцн takes account of both the abilities of those who will be asked to lead and carry out the change, and the context in which the change is to occur To develop such a model, Herold and Fedor examined more than 300 changes and interviewed over 8,000 individuals who lived through them They then reality-tested their model by bouncing their ideas off hundreds of managers who were living change on a day-to-day basis Those ideas are collected in this practical book, which will be of use to anyone who is likely to lead change initiatives in almost any organizational environment?from executives, to consultants, to management students.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 176 стр ISBN 0804771790.

Boundary layer receptivity of 2D laminar incompressible flow over a compliant surface is investigated numerically Free stream acoustic waves, propagating parallel to a flat plate with a compliant surface is considered In this study, mean flow is approximated by a Blasius type eqn and flow perturbation by the LUBLE eqn Perturbation waves in the ожжыи compliant layer are modeled by a set of PWE eqns Interaction occurs along the interface between flow and the compliant surface Interaction proceeds in accordance with continuity of velocity and stresses at the interface The coupled problem is solved numerically using a combination of Keller box method for flow and SLOR for the compliant layer Results show that compliant-wall related perturbations tend to grow in size in the downstream direction, achieving their maximum amplitude at the downstream end of the compliant layer Beyond the compliant layer, the perturbation decays very rapidly back to the rigid-wall value The results also show that the farther the pulse is, the slower is the downstream decay rate of the disturbance The effects of various flow and wall parameters are also studied in detail.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 144 стр ISBN 3639232488.

In "Kosher Sex: A Recipe for Passion and Intimacy", Rabbi Boteach pioneers a revolutionary approach to sex, marriage, and personal relationships, drawing on traditional Jewish wisdom Using his experiences counseling individuals and couples, the author breaks down sexual taboos and openly, yet respectfully, discusses the meanings, ожжых emotions, and the hidden power of sex With his unique anecdotal style, Rabbi Boteach illustrates each and every point, using real couples who have discovered the joys of "kosher sex" - sex based on love, trust, and real intimacy He profiles the two most common types of couples--best friends and passionate lovers - and suggests ways of synthesizing the best that each type has to offer Rabbi Boteach also has advice for singles on finding the right partner; for individuals either willing to take their long-term relationship to the next level or unsure about doing so; and for married couples who may be experiencing problems in their sex life At a time when three out of every five marriages fail, "Kosher Sex: A Recipe for Passion and Intimacy" will have an astonishing and positive impact Автор Shmuley Boteach.  Издательство: Main Street Books, 2000 г Мягкая обложка, 304 стр ISBN 0385494661 Язык: Английский.

How does cooperation emerge among selfish individuals? When do people share resources, punish those they consider unfair, and engage in joint enterprises? These questions fascinate philosophers, biologists, and economists alike, for the "invisible hand" that should turn selfish efforts into public benefit is not always at work ожжыш The Calculus of Selfishness looks at social dilemmas where cooperative motivations are subverted and self-interest becomes self-defeating Karl Sigmund, a pioneer in evolutionary game theory, uses simple and well-known game theory models to examine the foundations of collective action and the effects of reciprocity and reputation Focusing on some of the best-known social and economic experiments, including games such as the Prisoner's Dilemma, Trust, Ultimatum, Snowdrift, and Public Good, Sigmund explores the conditions leading to cooperative strategies His approach is based on evolutionary game dynamics, applied to deterministic and probabilistic models of economic interactions Exploring basic strategic interactions among individuals guided by self-interest and caught in social traps, The Calculus of Selfishness analyzes to what extent one key facet of human nature--selfishness--can lead to cooperation.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 192 стр ISBN 0691142750.
