Written from the standpoint of democratic theory, and from a progressive point of view, the book explores different facets of American democratic culture and its various deficits – deficits that can lead to the crippling of democratic politics.978-1-349-48022-7978-1-137-38155-2Series ISSN 2524-714X Series E-ISSN 2524-7158

Overview: This book is a student guide to the applications of differential and integral calculus to vectors. Such material is normally covered in the later years of an engineering or applied physical sciences degree course, or the first and second years of a mathematics degree course. The emphasis is on those features of the subject that will appeal to a user of mathematics, rather than the person who is concerned mainly with rigorous proofs. The aim is to assist the reader to acquire good proficiency in algebraic manipulation that can be used in critically assessing the results obtained from

Overview: .Advanced numerical simulations that use adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) methods have now become routine in engineering and science. Originally developed for computational fluid dynamics applications these methods have propagated to fields as diverse as astrophysics, climate modeling, combustion, biophysics and many others. The underlying physical models and equations used in these disciplines are rather different, yet algorithmic and implementation issues facing practitioners are often remarkably similar. Unfortunately, there has been little effort to review the advances and outstand

Since Nigeria returned to elected government in 1999, it has been observed  that several factors account for the differences between the design of statutory structures and processes of political decision-making and how they operate in reality. In other words, there are wide gaps betwe

Overview: Die Ermordung der europäischen Juden, die Shoah, ist in der deutschen Öf­ fentlichkeit mittlerweile zu einem beachteten Datum geworden. Nie zuvor fand die Einschätzung, diesem Ereignis müsse ein hervorgehobener Platz in der Erinnerung des Kollektivs reserviert werden, hierzulande eine so deutli­ che Mehrheit. So beschloß der Deutsche Bundestag im Juni 1999, ein zentrales Denkmal für die Opfer der Shoah zu bauen. In früheren Jahrzehnten, etwa im Historikerstreit der achtziger Jahre, mußte noch gegen Bestrebungen argu­ mentiert werden, die im Gas Gestorbenen gegen die Toten anderer Ver

Overview: The detenmnation of optimal nutritional status has traditionally been based upon generalized parameters such as weight gain and body fat levels. Vitamin and mineral requirements were often related to the intakes needed to prevent overt signs of deficiency diseases such as beriberi or scurvy. However, in the past decade or so, there have been intensive investigations to determine the subtle changes in physiological functions associated with marginal micronutrient intakes. There is a growing consensus that immune system activities are very sensitive indicators of micronutrient status.

Overview: This text is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to students, researchers, or consultants who wish to carry out and to interpret analyses of economic performance, with an emphasis on productivity growth. The text includes an overview of standard productivity growth measurement techniques and adaptations, and data construc­ tion procedures. It goes further, however, by expanding the tradition­ al growth accounting (index number) framework to allow consider­ ation of how different aspects of firm behavior underlying productivity growth are interrelated, how they can be measured c
