For those making a serious study of the history of psychology, this book will inspire a wave of discussion and inquiry. With eloquence and passion, it analyzes the many functions religion and psychology play in our understanding of the human life and mind.

This overview of Australian post-contact history uses material objects such as artefacts, buildings, and landscapes. The book offers broad geographic and temporal coverage, and social themes such as gender, status, ethnicity and identity inform every chapter.

This book examines pivotal changes in social welfare for low-income families in the United States between the advent of the Reagan administration, and the end of the G.W. Bush administration, as well as the rise of the Earned Income Tax Credit program.

Combining the macro-, micro- and mesodynamics of sociological theory, this volume presents a comprehensive general theory of social reality. New insights are presented, while creating a new theoretical framework for studying social dynamics.

This book integrates the key concepts of mathematical programming and constraint programming into a unified framework that allows them to be generalized and combined. It provides a powerful, high-level modeling solution for optimization problems.

Church missions played a key role in colonisation. This work provides the first archaeological examination of a New Zealand mission station, and makes an important contribution to New Zealand archaeology and history. It also examines the global context.

This book provides an overview of all relevant topics in the field of radiation protection (health physics). It serves as an essential handbook for practicing health physics professionals, and is ideal as a teaching text for courses at university level.

The philosophical and religious implications of extraterrestrial intelligence are combined with an exploration of the scientific and technical implications. The book compares recent theories (e.g. 'rare earth') and takes a firm stance against pseudo-science.

"The Almagest", by the Greek astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy, is the most important surviving treatise on early mathematical astronomy, offering historians valuable insight into the astronomy and mathematics of the ancient world. This title provides students of the history of astronomy with a self-contained introduction to the "Almagest".

This book covers recent advances in efficiency evaluations, particularly data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) methods. It introduces the underlying theories, demonstrates the necessary calculations and discusses applications.

This book explores hands-on issues of how to implement classical conditioning experiments, describing many of the techniques and equipment used to discover the locus for a simple memory in the brain. It details circuit diagrams for instrumentation and software for control and analysis.

A history of acoustics from the 19th century to the present, written by one of the pre-eminent members of the acoustical community. The book is both a review of the major scientific advances in acoustics as well as an account of famous acousticians and their discoveries, taking in the development of the Acoustical Society of America.

This text atlas, now in its second edition, presents in simplest form the basic diagnostic criteria used by the electron microscopist in studying neoplasms and other diseases encountered in the routine practice of pathology.

Developed from lecture notes and ready to be used for a course on the graduate level, this concise text aims to introduce the fundamental concepts of nonparametric estimation theory while maintaining the exposition suitable for a first approach in the field.

This book offers a collection of historical essays detailing a large variety of mathematical disciplines and issues; it's accessible to a broad audience. This third edition includes new chapters on simple groups and new sections on alternating groups and the Poincare conjecture. Many more exercises have been added as well as commentary that helps place the exercises in context.

This book details the statistical concepts used in gene mapping. It presents elementary principles of probability and statistics, which are implemented by computational tools based on the R programming language.

This is an extensively revised second edition of "Interfacial Transport Phenomena", a unique presentation of transport phenomena or continuum mechanics focused on momentum, energy, and mass transfer at interfaces. It discusses transport phenomena at common lines or three-phase lines of contact.

Linear Genetic Programming presents a variant of Genetic Programming that evolves imperative computer programs as linear sequences of instructions, in contrast to the more traditional functional expressions or syntax trees.

This book summarizes current knowledge of the theory of estimation for semiparametric models with missing data, applying modern methods to missing, censored, and coarsened data with the goal of deriving estimators that are as robust and efficient as possible.

This book uses case history methodology to illustrate the relationship between theory and practice of the study of Dissociation Identity Disorder (DID). The book traces the clinical and social history of dissociation in a provocative examination of this phenomenon.

The Principles of Comparative Localisation in the Cerebral Cortex Based on Cytoarchitectonics

In this regard, we refer to the works of Pironneau [1984], Haslinger and Neittaanmaki [1988], [1996], Sokolowski and Zolksio [1992], Litvinov [2000], Allaire [2001], Mohammadi and Pironneau [2001], Delfour and Zolksio [2001], and Makinen and Haslinger [2003].

Hard real-time systems are very predictable, but not sufficiently flexible to adapt to dynamic situations. Soft real-time systems are built to reduce resource consumption, tolerate overloads and adapt to system changes.

Details multimodal biometrics and its exceptional utility for increasingly reliable human recognition systems. Reveals the substantial advantages of multimodal systems over conventional identification methods.

An elegantly dramatized and illustrated dialog on the square root of two and the whole concept of irrational numbers.

This textbook provides a wide-ranging introduction to the use and theory of linear models for analyzing data. The authors emphasis is on providing a unified treatment of linear models, including analysis of variance models and regression models, based on projections, orthogonality, and other vector space ideas.

This book is a collection of more than 500 attractive open problems in the field. The largely self-contained chapters provide a broad overview of discrete geometry, along with historical details and the most important partial results related to these problems.

This new edition has been made more user-friendly through organization into more concise chapters. It addresses the mathematical needs of sophomores and juniors in physics, engineering and other related fields. An entirely new section covers Probability.

Laser Refractography explores the theoretical basis of refractography, and describes experimental setups for the measurement of transparent media. Specific examples are discussed, including the visualization of the boundary layer near a hot or cold metallic ball in water.
