Tells the story of five little-known Hungarian physicists who transformed 20th century science. They emigrated to the United States from Hungary in the 1930's, and were important contributors to such important experiments as the Manhattan Project.

After the Projects explores the contested politics of American public housing development and redevelopment. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-depth interviews, Vale develops the concept of governance constellations to show how past, often traumatic, experience with urban renewal affects present-day housing policy and attitudes toward the poorest Americans.

Tort Law: Text, Cases, and Materials combines incisive author commentary with carefully selected extracts from primary and secondary materials to provide a complete and supportive student text.

This book develops a theory of enriched meanings for natural language interpretation that uses the concept of monads and related ideas from category theory. The volume is interdisciplinary in nature, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers from a range of disciplines interested in natural language understanding and representation.

This book continues the authoritative and established sequence of theoretical ecology books initiated by Robert M. May which helped pave the way for ecology to become a more robust theoretical science, encouraging the modern biologist to better understand the mathematics behind their theories.

This book provides an authoritative and timely practical guide to genetic management of fragmented populations, with critically important practical implications in conservation biology. It seeks to enable a paradigm shift in the genetic management of small isolated population fragments by encouraging genetic rescues.

Beyond Broadway travels across America to illustrate musical theatre's ubiquitous presence as a thriving national folk practice that touches millions of lives.

The Library Screen Scene shows how library film and media literacy education programs promote community and a sense of civic engagement.

This edition has been fully updated throughout, reflecting the explosion of new research in the region in the last few years and the increasing use of new tools, particularly genomics and remote sensing.

An accessible introduction to community ecology which looks at the linkages between communities separated in space (metacommunity dynamics), niche and neutral theory, the interplay between ecology and evolution (eco-evolutionary dynamics), and the influence of historical and regional processes in shaping patterns of biodiversity.

Provides a concise, accessible introduction to the principle ideas, methods, and caveats for understanding evolution at the molecular level.

Presents the principles, theory, methods, and applications of landscape ecology and is supplemented by numerous examples and case studies from a variety of systems.

This book covers all the major components of modern evolutionary genetics including population genetics, molecular evolution, speciation, organismal evolution, and phylogenetics.

Highlights the importance of mitonuclear coadaptation to the evolution of complex life and in so doing will help to establish mitonuclear ecology as an important subdiscipline in ecology and evolution.

This textbook on optics introduces key concepts of wave optics and light propagation. The book highlights topics in contemporary optics such as propagation, dispersion and apodisation. The principles are applied through worked examples, and the book is copiously illustrated with more than 240 figures and 200 end-of-chapter exercises.

In this debate-format book, four philosophers-Joshua Glasgow, Sally Haslanger, Chike Jeffers, and Quayshawn Spencer-articulate contrasting views on race. Each author presents a distinct viewpoint on what race is, and then replies to the others, offering theories that are clear and accessible to undergraduates, lay readers, and non-specialists, as well as other philosophers of race.

Provides a coherent overview of the theory of single population dynamics, discussing concepts such as population variability, population stability, population viability/persistence, and harvest yield while later chapters address specific applications to conservation and management.

This textbook for upper-level undergraduates covers the fundamentals and incorporates key themes of quantum physics. Major themes include boson condensation and fermion exclusivity, entanglement, quantum field theory, measurement precision set by quantum mechanics, and topology.

Philosophy of Medicine provides a fresh and comprehensive treatment of the topic. It offers a novel theory of the nature of medicine, and proposes a new attitude to medicine, aimed at improving the quality of debates between medical traditions (including alternatives) and facilitating medicine's decolonization.

Undocumented Storytellers offers a critical exploration of the ways undocumented immigrants harness the power of storytelling as a means of self-actualization, to mitigate the fear and uncertainty of life without legal status, and to advocate for immigration reform.
