In Community and Tradition, eight distinguished scholars articulate the clearest statement to date of the conservative vision of community.

In this book, Wm. Blake Tyrrell and Larry J. Bennett examine Sophocles' Antigone in the context of its setting in fifth-century Athens. The authors attempt to create an interpretive environment that is true to the issues and interests of fifth-century Athenians, as opposed to those of modern scholars and philosophers. As they contextualize the play in the dynamics of ancient Athens, the authors discuss the text of the Antigone in light of rece...

This book traces the philosophical history of Personal Construct Psychology through the broad and complex tradition of phenomenology and thinkers such as Spinoza, Hegel and Heidegger.

This valuable resource is designed to advise, guide, inform and support those who are involved in the provision of sterile supplies and services.

In his seventeenth chronicle Brother Cadfael is asked to help identify a corpse found on Abbey land and discovers that it is the least baffling facet of a mysterious murder.

Polymers occur in many different states and their physical properties are strongly correlated with their conformations. The theoretical investigation of the conformational properties of polymers is a difficult task and numerical methods play an important role in this field. This book contains contributions from a workshop on numerical methods for polymeric systems, held at the IMA in May 1996, which brought together chemists, physicists, mathe...

Includes first-hand accounts from both therapists and clients in a variety of palliative care settings including hospices, the London Lighthouse, AIDS patients in prisons and adolescent griefwork groups.

A History of European Women's Work" draws together recent research, lively personal accounts and statistical evidence to take an overview of trends in women's work from the pre-industrial period to the present. Deborah Simonton discusses the definition of work within and without patriarchal families, the status of work and the skills involved. She examines local as well as Europe-wide developments, contrasting countries such as Britain, Germa...

As many countries in the world seek to improve their economic performance by increasing their vocational education and training, Japan is being looked to as a leader in this field--the ideal model to imitate. This book provides a thorough examination of vocational education and training in all parts of the Japanese education system, from primary education to in-house training within companies and on the shop floor. It highlights the role of th...

Accurate and efficient computer algorithms for factoring matrices, solving linear systems of equations, and extracting eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Regardless of the software system used, the book describes and gives examples of the use of modern computer software for numerical linear algebra. It begins with a discussion of the basics of numerical computations, and then describes the relevant properties of matrix inverses, factorisations, mat...

A cognitive journey towards the reliable simulation of scattering problems using finite element methods, with the pre-asymptotic analysis of Galerkin FEM for the Helmholtz equation with moderate and large wave number forming the core of this book. Starting from the basic physical assumptions, the author methodically develops both the strong and weak forms of the governing equations, while the main chapter on finite element analysis is preceded...

Recently new developments have taken place in the theory of nonpara­ metric statistics for stochastic processes. Optimal asymptotic results have been obtained and special behaviour of estimators and predictors in con­ tinuous time has been pointed out. This book is devoted to these questions. It also gives some indica­ tions about implementation of nonparametric methods and comparison with parametric ones, including numerical results. Ma.ny of...

In his nineteenth chronicle Brother Cadfael is charged to investigate the theft of the Abbey's most sacred treasure.

Mathematical methods play a significant role in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear optical materials. This volume discusses a number of successful or promising contributions. The overall theme of this volume is twofold: (1) the challenges faced in computing and optimizing nonlinear optical material properties, and (2) the exploitation of these properties in important areas of application. These include the design of optical amplifiers and ...

Redistricting and Minority Representation brings together expert research and analysis of the past and present status of minority representation as influenced by the effects of redistricting and the changes that need to be made.
