This book helps naturalists, nature stewards, and students comprehend basic statistical concepts as a bridge to more complex themes. Using the Florida scrub as an example, it connects with the needs of field practitioners, focusing on the analytical decision-making process.
Post-Newtonian Hydrodynamics
This book develops post-Newtonian kinetic and phenomenological theories, deriving hydrodynamic equations and exploring astrophysical applications like stellar structure, Jeans instability, and galaxy rotation curves. For physicists, astrophysicists, and advanced students.
From Nonlinear Dynamics to Trigonometry’s Magic
This book unravels the mathematics of nonlinear dynamics using simple trigonometry. A tutorial for beginners and experts, it examines the fundamental example of Chaos, the Lorenz-Haken equations, with an original approach. For physicists, mathematicians, and students alike.
This volume explores the application of formal methods from mathematics to architecture and urbanism. From geometry to shape grammars, it examines the potential of these tools to create new problem-solving languages and advance the digitalization of the field.
This book generalizes transforms from accelerated frames to inertial frames—essential for real-world applications where labs are not truly inertial. It covers the theory and derivation of relativistic fictitious forces (Coriolis, centrifugal) and the Thomas Wigner effect.
Existing methods for studying the piezooptic properties of crystals are imperfect and lead to significant errors. This book introduces 2D-polarimetric and interferometric methods that increase experimental accuracy and ensure reliable results for photoelastic properties.
Master the core methods of statistical research. This practical guide covers key techniques, from sampling to interconnection analysis, teaching you how to apply them effectively and interpret your results with confidence.
The Digital Generation Reaches Maturity
This book explores the changing landscape of business and consumer behaviour, shaped by digital disruption and post-pandemic conditions. It identifies emerging trends, considering context and generation, to help you understand our world and develop better products and services.
The Great 1976 Tangshan Earthquake
In 1975, China predicted the Haicheng earthquake, saving thousands. Eighteen months later, jubilation turned to despair when the unpredicted Tangshan quake killed over 250,000. This book explores this epic success and failure and offers a viable future for earthquake prediction.
Explore state-of-the-art research in infrastructure management, from innovative 3D-printed concrete to computer vision-based maintenance. This book is essential reading for engineers and contractors paving the way toward sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
This collection of essays presents innovative concepts to understand the spaces of the Americas through local lenses. Challenging canonical knowledge derived from outside the region, it introduces a new conceptual framework to analyze the spatial histories of the Americas.
Explore resonator spectroscopy for analysing atmospheric microwave absorption. This guide details the most efficient method, from molecular spectroscopy basics to landmark investigations in the millimetre and submillimetre-wave range.
Unconventional Aeronautical Investigatory Methods
The 1972 crash of Alitalia flight AZ 112 killed 115 people and was blamed on pilot negligence. This book reveals the truth: the disaster was not an accident but a criminal act, a symptom of the geopolitical tensions gripping Italy and Europe in that decade.
This volume explores cultural landscapes and architectural symbols through the notion of genius loci. Focused on Lithuanian historical contexts, these essays provide insights into the making and destruction of landscapes for architects, historians, and scholars globally.
This volume addresses pivotal problems about our planet’s environment and ecology. It highlights inter-related topics from agriculture to global health and concludes with an ethical analysis of the multiple, overlapping challenges that require urgent attention.
This second volume uses vector optimization to model economic systems. Chapters cover decision-making and modeling within companies, in market systems, and for forecasting.
Heterogeneous catalysis is founded on solid state chemistry, but the relationship is often elusive. This book provides insights into solid state chemistry to widen the vision of catalysis, covering structure, bonding, and defects and their implications.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
Climate Crisis and Sustainable Creaturely Care
Global academics tackle the climate crisis through the lens of creation care. This volume reviews the damage to our environment and how our misuse of resources threatens all life, offering a global voice on our impact and presenting creation care as a way out of this crisis.
Climate Crisis and Creation Care
Our constant consumption of resources has had a negative impact on the world—affecting everything from the weather to the social fabric of our society. This book explores how we arrived at such an unstable world and offers sustainable solutions to a global crisis.
