 Nucleosynthesis and Chemical Evolution of GalaxiesThe existence and distribution of the chemical elements and their isotopes is a consequence of nuclear processes that have taken place in the past in the Big Bang and subsequently in stars and in the interstellar medium (ISM) where they are still ongoing. These processes are studied theoretically, experimentally and observationally. Theories of... | | Networks for Learning and Knowledge Creation in BiotechnologyScientists in the biotechnology sector have developed a vast array of products and procedures, including drugs, diagnostics, agricultural products and veterinary procedures. This is made possible through various intra- and inter-organizational collaborations between the academic and private sectors, and through the establishment of networks for... | | Handbook of Practical Logic and Automated ReasoningThis book meets the demand for a self-contained and broad-based account of the concepts, the machinery and the use of automated reasoning. The mathematical logic foundations are described in conjunction with practical application, all with the minimum of prerequisites. The approach is constructive, concrete and algorithmic: a key feature is that... |

Atmospheric Thermodynamics: Elementary Physics and ChemistryThis textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognizing the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to... | | Cartesian Linguistics: A Chapter in the History of Rationalist ThoughtIn this extraordinarily original and profound work, Noam Chomsky discusses themes in the study of language and mind since the end of the sixteenth century in order to explain the motivations and methods that underlie his work in linguistics, the science of mind, and even politics. This edition includes a new and specially written introduction by... | | Foundations in Evolutionary Cognitive NeuroscienceThis book is an introduction to the emerging field of evolutionary cognitive neuroscience, a branch of neuroscience that combines the disciplines of evolutionary psychology and cognitive neuroscience. It outlines the application of cognitive neuroscientific methods (e.g., functional magnetic resonance imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation,... |

Introduction to Continuum MechanicsThis textbook treats solids and fluids in a balanced manner, using thermodynamic restrictions on the relation between applied forces and material responses. This unified approach can be appreciated by engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians with some background in engineering mechanics. It has many examples and about 150 exercises for... | | LTE for 4G Mobile Broadband: Air Interface Technologies and Performance"This text is an especially helpful as an accompaniment to the 3GPP specifications themselves, which offer no explanations as to why one thing or another is included, no hint as to why one protocol technique was chosen over another, or why certain contributions appear only to disappear in later releases. Khan's text offers a welcome set of... | | Ludic Proof: Greek Mathematics and the Alexandrian AestheticThis book represents a new departure in science studies: an analysis of a scientific style of writing, situating it within the context of the contemporary style of literature. Its philosophical significance is that it provides a novel way of making sense of the notion of a scientific style. For the first time, the Hellenistic mathematical corpus -... |

Multiwavelength Optical Networks: Architectures, Design, and Control"The rationale for the second edition is solid, and the proposed changes are extensive and comprehensive, covering the most important advances in the field since the first edition was published. The authors' credentials are impeccable. I used the first edition extensively, both as a reference for my research and for my graduate course on... | | Curves and SingularitiesThe object of this book is to introduce to a new generation of students an area of mathematics that has received a tremendous impetus during the last twenty years or so from developments in singularity theory.
The differential geometry of curves, families of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space has fascinated mathematicians and users... | | PossibilityPossibility offers a new analysis of the metaphysical concepts of possibility and necessity, one that does not rely on any sort of "possible worlds." The analysis proceeds from an account of the notion of a physical object and from the positing of properties and relations. It is motivated by considerations about how we actually speak of... |
