Overview: Science and Technology of Polymer Colloids G. W. Poehlein, R. H. Ottewill, J. W. Goodwin (editors) Polymer colloids, more commonly known as latexes, are important in the manufacture of synthetic elastomers, commodity polymers, surface coatings, adhesive and numerous specialty products. The significant growth of the commercial production of polymer latexes during the past decade has been due to a number of factors. First, water-based systems, especially paints and coatings, avoid many of the environ­ mental problems associated with the solvent-based systems. Second, polymer colloid pr

Overview: Provides multidisciplinary approaches to smart and sustainable urban ecosystems.Focuses on challenges and solutions in urban ecosystems.Presents successful experiences of sustainable urban developmentThis book provides multidisciplinary approaches to smart and sustainable urban ecosystems. Urbanization is a global tendency, and up to 70% of the world population is projected to live in cities by 2050. How will this rapid urbanization alter the face of the world? What are the environmental consequences of megacities’ expansion? What are smart solutions to make life in cities safe, comf

Overview: Provides an in-depth analysis of Marx’s ideas of post-capitalist society in Capital.Expands the study of post-capitalism from Critique of the Gotha Programme to Marx‘s most important work.Based off ofThis book explores how Marx envisaged society after capital(ism) by a close examination of the idea of socialism in the text(s) of .Capital.. Going beyond Marx’s critique of the Gotha Programme, Paresh Chattopadhyay challenges those who leave .Capital .aside in discussions of socialism in Marx’s works on the grounds that it is uniquely preoccupied with the critical analysis of capitalism

Overview: Synchrotron radiation as a spectroscopic research tool has undergone a most inter­ esting and astonishing historical development and has now come to the stage of an exciting boom. The machines which produce synchrotron radiation were built and de­ veloped exclusively for other purposes in the past, namely high-energy physics. At the same time, however, they involuntarily became better and better light sources for the spectral range from the visible to the hard x-ray region. Now we are at the point that the first few storage rings have gone into operation as machines dedicated to sync

Overview: Provides a comprehensive overview of soil development and quality.Collects 25 scientific papers edited by experts in the field.Includes supplementary material: .This book discusses gritty issues that society faces every day: food and water security, environmental services provided by farmers, almost accidentally, and taken for granted by everyone else, the capability of the land to provide our needs today and for the foreseeable future and pollution of soil, air and water. The chapters are grouped in four main themes: soil development - properties and qualities; assessment of resourc

Overview: First rigorous and comprehensive advanced book on stochastic simulation.Large amount of exercises and illustrations included.Top world wide experts in area.Sampling-based computational methods have become a fundamental part of the numerical toolset of practitioners and researchers across an enormous number of different applied domains and academic disciplines. This book provides a broad treatment of such sampling-based methods, as well as accompanying mathematical analysis of the convergence properties of the methods discussed. The reach of the ideas is illustrated by discussing a wi

Overview: Highlights customer-centric sustainability in sustainable fashion.Presents case studies on the importance of consumer awareness of sustainability in clothing.Discusses consumer attitudes towards sustaThis book uses case studies to discuss consumer awareness of and education on sustainable fashion. It highlights how some textile brands have started using consumer awareness tags to educate consumers on the use of their products (e.g. which machine cycle and temperature they should use to wash their products, as well as the best drying conditions in terms of environmental sustainability

Overview: Offers comprehensive knowledge of social compliance for multinational corporations and their suppliers.Bridges the gap between practical knowledge of social compliance and the understanding of strategThis book covers key discussions involving major US and European multinational companies (MNCs) that source products from suppliers in developing countries. Due to the transfer of production from developed to developing nations, there is an urgent need to establish social compliance as a new form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and a means by which MNCs can meet expected social

Overview: Discusses the development of monetary thought by examining economists since David Hume and Adam Smith to the present.Examines the views of economists on financial crises in general and the Great Depre.This book presents an alternative approach to monetary theory that differs from the General Theory of Keynes, the Monetarism of Friedman, and the New Classicism of Lucas. Particular attention is given to the work of Hawtrey and his analysis of financial crises and his explanation of the Great Depression. The unduly neglected monetary theory of Hawtrey is examined in the context of his c

Overview: Describes modern (and surprising) applications to cryptography.Includes the most recent advances, with a deeper approach than any other book.Hugh Williams is Canada’s most famous computational number .Pell’s Equation is a very simple Diophantine equation that has been known to mathematicians for over 2000 years. Even today research involving this equation continues to be very active, as can be seen by the publication of at least 150 articles related to this equation over the past decade. However, very few modern books have been published on Pell’s Equation, and this will be the first

Overview: This book is devoted to the quantitative physical modeling ofsubduction and subduction-related processes. It presents a coherentdescription of the modeling method (including similarity criteria, anda novel applied experimental technique), results from modelexperiments, theoretical analysis of results on the basis of continuummechanics, and their geodynamic interpretation. Subduction is modeledin general as well as applied to particular regions using both 2-D and3-D approaches, with both slab-push and slab-pull driving forces. Themodeling covers all stages from subduction initiation t
