Learn to diagnose the Florida landscape. A physician and Master Naturalist shows how to identify past events that have influenced today’s environments. With photos, maps, and case studies, you’ll understand the health of Florida’s ecosystems like never before.
Clarkeson turns architecture on its head, reading Palladio’s drawings as carefully crafted and meant to be measured. This book claims Palladio’s rightful place in the history of metrology, offering a fresh interpretation that dispels myths and explains ‘the bits that don’t fit’.
This book provides the “picture of reality” for the quantum world that eluded Einstein. It offers a realistic interpretation compatible with all experimental evidence, plus new perspectives on dark energy, dark matter, and stellar collapse, summarizing 50 years of research.
Journey into the minds of visionary architects who push boundaries. This book unravels the secrets behind awe-inspiring structures, exploring the digital technology and material-based forms that challenge norms and offer insights into where contemporary architecture is headed.
Turbulent fluid flows appear random, but averages like pressure and flow rate are predictable. Past mathematical models have been either too simple or too complex for practical use. This book explores a middle ground: computationally tractable yet realistic models.
Disasters impose enormous misery on children. This volume explores how to reconstruct sustainable communities that are safe for children and their families, covering topics from gender equality and child soldiers to lessons from Hurricane Katrina and the Tsunami.
This book has a strong focus on practical applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, tested in a real environment. Covering many domains from smart cities to bioinformatics, the presented solutions aim to simplify, but not constrain, daily life.
This book focuses on recent advances in nonlinear analysis and optimization, with applications in fields like artificial intelligence. Presenting ideas and techniques to stimulate further research, it is a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, and students.
As digital systems grow in complexity, so do the challenges of Boolean logic. This book summarizes recent progress, describing powerful approaches to solve exceptionally complex problems, from digital circuit design and testing to the future of quantum computers.
This book explores landscape management and ecology, investigating issues from urban park design and green urbanism to protected areas and urban transformation. The volume will appeal to researchers, local authorities, academics, and students.
Recent Topics in Advanced Materials Science
Unlock the principles of materials science. Aimed at readers with undergraduate chemistry knowledge, this guide uses clear figures and formulae to explore the field, from the foundational elements to cutting-edge innovations.
Reclaiming Indigenous Knowledge Systems
This book explores people-forest relationships in Kenya through the Indigenous Knowledge of the Agĩkũyũ people. It confronts the history of land dispossession, cements the forest’s role in the struggle for independence, and shows how this wisdom can forge sustainable futures.
Rediscovering the Hindu Temple
This volume examines the Hindu temple as an architectural and urban form. Going beyond stereotypes, this study reveals the temple as a complex cultural entity: both monumental and modest, historic and modern, and deserving of a far deeper understanding.
Reflecting on our Changing Climate, from Fear to Facts
This book reflects on how “climate change” has become a euphemism for “carbon dioxide emissions.” Focusing solely on CO2 overlooks other complex factors contributing to extreme weather. It argues for a broader view, useful for students, researchers and policy makers.
Master Elementary Algebra to succeed in mathematics. This book bridges the gap between school and university, helping undergraduates pass mathematical analysis courses. This material has been used to improve the skills of first-year engineering students for a decade.
Reinforced Concrete Design
This book provides the fundamentals of analysis and design of reinforced concrete (RC) elements in a simple way. A valuable guide for students and practicing engineers, its design procedures provide a roadmap to create your own programming codes to increase design productivity.
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.
This volume explores the reliability of time-dependent models using a variety of concepts and techniques. It is for research-level courses in statistics, applied mathematics, and operations research, and for researchers requiring knowledge of applied probability.
The chapters collected here summarise ten years of work on the challenges that renewable energy faces, and represent a selection of the best papers presented at the International Conferences on Renewable Energy and Power Quality (ICREPQ) from 2003 to 2012.
This book explores research topics in graph theory and its applications, from strongly perfect graphs and reconstruction conjectures to transport networks. It is ideal for researchers interested in exploring new areas of graph theory and its applications.
