Overview: Explores spatial aspects of both poverty and affluence in the U.S.Focuses on national level geographies using the spatial scale of the county.Reveals the geographic landscape of inequality in the U.S.This book explores the changing spatial distribution of the United States of America‘s poorest and most affluent counties over the 30 years from 1980 to 2010. While overall rates of poverty have changed somewhat during this period, the geography of counties where affluence and poverty rates are the highest have also shifted as economic fortunes wax and wane. The spatial understanding of

The motivation for active fault studies and their characterization have been emphasized. The book presents the compilation of knowledge garnered in multidisciplinary or proxy

Overview: des Herausgebers Als ich im Spätherbst 1985 die beiden Autoren Günter Hirsch und Wolfram Eberbach bat, dieses Buch zu schreiben, waren wir den drängenden Fragen der künstlichen Befruchtung und der Gentechnologie schon vielfach während gemeinsamer wissen­ schaftlicher und publizistischer Arbeit begegnet. Uns war zunehmend deutlicher geworden, daß die Kennt­ nisse darüber in den sogenannten gebildeten Kreisen außeror­ dentlich lückenhaft, die Vorstellungen bisweilen naiv, manch­ mal sogar abenteuerlich sind, ganz zu schweigen vom spürbaren Unwissen auch in «Fachkreisen». Das wunderte u

Overview: This is the third book devoted to theoretical issues in data­ bases that we have edited. Each book has been the outgrowth of papers held at a workshop in Toulouse, France. The first workshop, held in 1977 focused primarily on the important topic of logic and databases. The book, Logic and Databases was the result of this effort. The diverse uses of logic for databases such as its use as a theoretical basis for databases, for deduction and for integ­ rity constraints formulation and checking was described in the chapters of the book. The interest generated by the first workshop led to

Overview: "Seek simplicity and distrust it. " Alfred North Whitehead "It will become all too clear that an ability to see patterns in behavior, an ability that some might feel proud of, can lead more easily to a wrong description than a right one. " William T. Powers The goal of the theorist-the scholar-is to take a collection of observations of the world, and perceive order in them. This process necessarily imposes an artificial simplicity upon those observations. That is, specific observations are weighed differently from each other whenever a theoretical account is abstracted from raw exper
