In this book, Miquel Beltrán undertakes the task of comparing Puerta del Cielo with Spinoza's Ethica, in order to find the doctrines asserted both by Herrera and Spinoza concerning God's essence and attributes.

In The Legality and Legitimacy of the Use of Force in Northeast Asia, Brendan Howe and Boris Kondoch offer a comprehensive evaluation of when it is right, from regional perspectives, to use force in international relations.

Drawing on studies of kings from Cyrus to Shah Abbas, this volume provides a rich variety of readings on royal authority and its limitations in medieval societies in both Europe and the Middle East, exemplified especially in the case of Alexander the Great, God and King, and the persistence of his legend in later eras.

"A Survey of European Astronomical Tables in the Late Middle Ages" is a first attempt to classify and illustrate the numerous astronomical tables compiled from about the 10th century to the early 16th century in the Latin West. The compilation of astronomical tables was a major and dynamic intellectual enterprise. These tables respond to a wide variety of astronomical problems and computational needs, and contain a large number of ingenious solutions proposed by astronomers over the centuries. In the absence of algebraic notation and mathematical graphing techniques, a table was often the best way to transmit precise information to the reader. Indeed, an astronomical table is not a just a list of data, but a structured way to present numerical information of astronomical interest.

This volume presents new research on royal courts from antiquity to the modern world, from Asia to Europe. It addresses the interactions of rulers and and elites at court, as well as the multiple connections between court, capital, and realm.This title is available online in its entirety in Open Access

This work develops the ethical attitude of courageous vulnerability through the integration of the phenomenon of involuntary memory in Marcel Proust's work and a variety of closely related themes taken from the philosophies of Henri Bergson, William James, and Gabriel Marcel.

Addresses paradoxes in the EU's foreign policy, and asks questions such as: how can the European Union's "power of attraction", combined with its operational weakness, be explained?; and can the EU remain a "civilian power" when coping with an "uncivilized" world?.

This is a succinct and lucid analysis of Egypt's major economic problems, their origin and development, and their relationship to Egypt's social turmoil. It also contains a powerful critique of the program of structural adjustment which constitutes today's conventional wisdom.

This volume collects the materials underlying the International Colloquium "Conciliation in the Globalized World of Today", held on 11 and 12 June 2015 in Vienna under the auspices of the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration within the OSCE. The aim of the Colloquium was to examine the merits and possible shortcomings of this method of conflict resolution, and it concluded that the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

Child-friendly Justice assesses how the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has affected the development of child law and the promotion of children's rights in the past twenty-five years. Its 24 studies probe a broad variety of issues relating to children' s contact with civil, administrative and criminal justice systems, the protection of child integrity and their right to participation, information and proper representation. The contributors - all experts on child-related matters - represent international organisations, academia and NGOs. They provide a clear picture of the origins of the current problems in realising child-friendly justice, and they discuss possible solutions.

This work exmaines non-Kolmogorov probability models. It provides mathematical theory of negative probabilities with applications to quantum physics, information theory, complexity, biology and psychology. Natural models with negative probabilities are developed in the framework of p-adic analysis.

This volume concentrates on martingale approximations. Topics covered include: basic notions; semimartingales; inequalities; laws of large numbers; the central limit theorem; convergence of semimartingales; the rate of weak convergence; and applications of martingales.

This monograph deals with random forests and aims to show that, despite the outward simplicity of the forest graph design, the problems emerging in relation to the phenomenon are challenging, and their solution often requires subtle mathematical methods.

A collection of lectures on stochastic processes, which can be used in the preparation of courses in stochastic processes for which an understanding of basic notions of mathematical analysis, theory of complex functions, theory of differential equations and probability theory is required.

This work is devoted to stochastic operators in Hilbert space. A number of models in modern probability theory apply the notion of a stochastic operator in explicit or latent form. In this book, objects from the Gaussian case are considered.

This volume focuses on the synthesis of targeted polymers with specific properties using macromolecular architecture. Various controlled polymerization techniques such as ionic, metathesis and recently developed "living"/controlled polymerization and some of their combinations are covered.

The book is divided into four main sections: the first three are devoted to the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and the fourth to future missions and new technologies.

This monograph presents absorption spectra and absorptivity data in the wavelength range of 480 to 1000 nm of the major haemoglobin derivatives for human adult and foetal haemoglobin and for haemoglobin of several animals (cow, dog, horse, pig, rat, and adult and foetal sheep).

This handbook contains contributions from international experts in the field and should be of value and interest to a wide variety of professionals in the discipline of disaster medicine and management.

Biotic antioxidants possess an important potential to be a reliable basis of the development of new multipurpose drugs, within the framework of existing technological structures. This book shows approaches for possible use of these natural antioxidants.
