Overview: Fills a gap in current literature on African ethnomathematics.Explores the discovery of the Ishango rod and the different scientific hypotheses with respect to it.Features a foreword by Vladimir PletsThis volume on ethnomathematics in Central Africa fills a gap in the current literature, focusing on a region rarely explored by other publications. It highlights the discovery of the Ishango rod, which was found to be the oldest mathematical tool in humanity‘s history, thereby shifting the origin of mathematics to the heart of Africa, and explores the different scientific hypotheses tha

Overview: Mounts a defence for realism about beauty.Provides a description of the issue which is acceptable to both realists and anti-realists about the aesthetic.Blends historical analysis of aesthetics and li.This compelling book defends realism concerning the aesthetic—in particular, concerning the aesthetic properties of works of art (including works of literature).  Morais lucidly argues that art criticism, when referring to aesthetic properties, is referring not ultimately to the critic’s subjective reactions, but to genuine properties of the works. With a focus on contemporary discussio

Overview: Part of the Essentials in Ophthalmology series.Practical guide focusing on the clinical utility of each glaucoma imaging modality.Provides extensive, in-depth descriptions of how to interpret each typ. .Serving as a practical guide to the ocular imaging modalities that are currently available to eye care providers for the care of glaucoma patients, this book provides information on advances in ocular imaging and their applications in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Each chapter introduces the imaging modality, highlight its strengths and weaknesses for clinical care, and di

Overview: The hemodynamic mechanisms of hypertension are often limited to the study of three dominant parameters: blood pressure, cardiac output and vascular resis­ tance. Accordingly, the development of hypertension is usually analyzed in terms of a ‘struggle‘ between cardiac output and vascular resistance, resulting in the classical pattern of normal cardiac output and increased vascular resistance, thus indicating a reduction in the caliber of small arteries. However, during the past years, the clinical management of hypertension has largely modified these simple views. While an adequate co

Overview: During the first 18 months of World War I, Woodrow Wilson sought to maintain American neutrality, but as this carefully argued study shows, it was ultimately an unsustainable stance. The tension between Wilson‘s idealism and pragmatism ultimately drove him to abandon neutrality, paving the way for America‘s entrance into the war in 1917.978-1-349-46259-9978-1-137-33412-1

Overview: Studies on basic principles, analysis methods, research means, and multi-scenario project practice.Helps a wide range of readers, including graduate students, researchers, engineers, and operation man.With the growth of the installed capacity and the proportion of REG, mainly including wind power and PV power generation, the stable operation of REG and AC/DC transmission systems has become a technical bottleneck for the sustainable development of REG.

The goal of EEWC is to stimulate interaction between the different stakeholders, scientists as well as practitioners, interested in maki

Overview: Historically, nonclassical physics developed in three stages. First came a collection of .ad hoc. assumptions and then a cookbook of equations known as "quantum mechanics". The equations and their philosophical underpinnings were then collected into a model based on the mathematics of Hilbert space. From the Hilbert space model came the abstaction of "quantum logics". This book explores all three stages, but not in historical order. Instead, in an effort to illustrate how physics and abstract mathematics influence each other we hop back and forth between a purely mathematical develop
