This book provides a critical review of the questions as well as the data pertaining to the contribution of the right "non-dominant" hemisphere to verbal communication. Three main sources of observation are reviewed: experiments with normal subjects, with split-brain subjects, and with brain-damaged subjects. The first three chapters present (1) a historical introduction, (2) a critical review of the advantages and limits of the different meth...

In 1577, during a great court debate over the formulation of china'spolicy toward its nomadic neighbors, the Ming scholar-official Feng Feng-shihobserved: "When there are markets and tribute, there is no war." For two millennia, tension between nomad and chinese along China's northern frontier threatened toerupt into war, and for two millennia, the essential element determining whetherpeace or war existed was trade.

Factorial designs were introduced and popularized by Fisher (1935). Among the early authors, Yates (1937) considered both symmetric and asymmetric factorial designs. Bose and Kishen (1940) and Bose (1947) developed a mathematical theory for symmetric priIi't&-powered factorials while Nair and Roo (1941, 1942, 1948) introduced and explored balanced confounded designs for the asymmetric case. Since then, over the last four decades, there has bee...

For linear optimization models that can be formulated as linear programs with the block-angular structure, i.e. independent subproblems with coupling constraints, the Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition principle provides an elegant framework of solution algorithms as well as economic interpretation. This monograph is the complete documentation of DECOMP: a robust implementation of the Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition method in FORTRAN. The code can serve ...

The present set of notes grew out of our interest in the study of statistical transformation models, in particular exponential transfor­ mation models. The latter class comprises as special cases all fully tractable models for mUltivariate normal observations. The theory of decomposition and invariance of measures provides essential tools for the study of transformation models. While the major aspects of that theory are treated in a number of ...

There is a dark side to human nature that is nurtured by the control of power. In an earlier book, The Powerholders, I I described several psychological principles that appear to govern the behavior of people who control and use social power. In particular, I examined how the successful use of power transformed, for the worse, the values and behavior of the influencing agent. My interest in the relation between technology and power grew out of...

Paddock has referred to societies as "anti-violent" that Inhibit the expressIon of aggresSion. In his book Violence and Aggression, KE. Moyer nas made a brief but interesting comparison of several violent and nonviolent cultures. Whereas studies of violence have ranged from genetic, cultural to Situation effects, and have been pursued through empirical and nonempirical methods over the past several decades, nonviolence did not become a favorit...

Bednarowski is especially good at elucidating the theological daring ofthese new American religions.... (She) demonstrates in a very few pages how...theology and group adherence made the individual count, a configurationsimultaneously American, un-American, and important." -- JonButler"The cultural confrontation with these new religions'is very real and usually very misinformed. Bednarowski has gone to great lengths todispel the ignorance." --...

Displaying a masterful grasp of the texts, the author shows howotherness forces itself upon the existentialist Sartre, gradually constraining himto modify his understanding of consciousness as omnipotent. The issue is Sartre'sdiscovery of the social and its conceptual assimilation into his individualistic, consciousness-oriented philosophy." -- Thomas R.Flynn"This very successful and accessible scholarly book...is simultaneously a succinct and...
