Infinity: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) by Ian N. Stewart
English | July 23, 2017 | ISBN: 0198755236 | True PDF | 144 pages | 14.3 MB
Infinity is an intriguing topic, with connections to religion, philosophy, metaphysics, logic, and physics as well as mathematics. Its history goes back to ancient times, with especially important contributions from Euclid, Aristotle, Eudoxus, and Archimedes. The infinitely large (infinite) is intimately related to the infinitely small (infinitesimal). Cosmologists consider sweeping questions about whether space and time are infinite. Philosophers and mathematicians ranging from Zeno to Russell have posed numerous paradoxes about infinity and infinitesimals. Many vital areas of mathematics rest upon some version of infinity. The most obvious, and the first context in which major new techniques depended on formulating infinite processes, is calculus. But there are many others, for example Fourier analysis and fractals.

Anna Suranyi, "Indentured Servitude: Unfree Labour and Citizenship in the British Colonies"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0228006686, 0228006678 | 288 pages | EPUB | 8.1 MB
Hundreds of thousands of British and Irish men, women, and children crossed the Atlantic during the seventeenth century as indentured servants. Many had agreed to serve for four years, but large numbers had been trafficked or "spirited away" or were sent forcibly by government agencies as criminals, political rebels, or destitute vagrants. In Indentured Servitude Anna Suranyi provides new insight into the lives of these people. The British government, Suranyi argues, profited by supplying labour for the colonies, removing unwanted populations, and reducing incarceration costs within Britain. In addition, it was believed that indigents, especially destitute children, benefited morally from being placed in indenture. Capitalist entrepreneurs who were influential at the highest levels of government made their fortunes from Atlantic trade in goods, indentured servants, and slaves, and their participation in the servant trade contributed to the commercialization of criminal justice. Suranyi breaks new ground in showing how indentured servitude was challenged: once in the colonies, indentured servants adapted resourcefully to their circumstances and rebelled against unfair conditions and abuse by suing their masters, by running away, or through outright revolt. Emerging ideas about race and citizenship led to vehement public debate about the conditions of indentured servants and the ethics of indenture itself, prompting legislation that aimed to curb the worst excesses while slavery continued to expand unchecked.

Improving Natural Resource Management: Ecological and Political Models By Timothy C. Haas(auth.)
2011 | 261 Pages | ISBN: 0470661135 | PDF | 3 MB
The decision to implement environmental protection options is a political one. These, and other political and social decisions affect the balance of the ecosystem and how the point of equilibrium desired is to be reached. This book develops a stochastic, temporal model of how political processes influence and are influenced by ecosystem processes and looks at how to find the most politically feasible plan for managing an at-risk ecosystem. Finding such a plan is accomplished by first fitting a mechanistic political and ecological model to a data set composed of observations on both political actions that impact an ecosystem and variables that describe the ecosystem. The parameters of this fitted model are perturbed just enough to cause human behaviour to change so that desired ecosystem states occur. This perturbed model gives the ecosystem management plan needed to reach desired ecosystem states. To construct such a set of interacting models, topics from political science, ecology, probability, and statistics are developed and explored. Key features:Explores politically feasible ways to manage at-risk ecosystems. Gives agent-based models of how social groups affect ecosystems through time. Demonstrates how to fit models of population dynamics to mixtures of wildlife data. Presents statistical methods for fitting models of group behaviour to political action data. Supported by an accompanying website featuring datasets and JAVA code. This book will be useful to managers and analysts working in organizations charged with finding practical ways to sustain biodiversity or the physical environment. Furthermore this book also provides a political roadmap to help lawmakers and administrators improve institutional environmental management decision making.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-13): Chapter 2 Simulator Architecture, Operation, and Example Output (pages 15-26): Chapter 3 Blue Whale Population Management (pages 27-42): Chapter 4 Finding the Most Practical Ecosystem Management Plan (pages 43-58): Chapter 5 An Open, Web?Based Ecosystem Management Tool (pages 59-78): Chapter 6 Influence Diagrams of Political Decision Making (pages 79-95): Chapter 7 Group IDs for the East African Cheetah EMT (pages 97-108): Chapter 8 Modeling Wildlife Population Dynamics with an Influence Diagram (pages 109-121): Chapter 9 Political Action Taxonomies, Collection Protocols, and an Actions History Example (pages 123-142): Chapter 10 Ecosystem Data (pages 143-160): Chapter 11 Statistical Fitting of the Political-Ecological System Simulator (pages 161-177): Chapter 12 Assessing the Simulator's Reliability and Improving its Construct Validity (pages 179-199): Chapter 13 Current Capabilities and Limitations of the Politically Realistic EMT (pages 201-208):

Christopher Hager, "I Remain Yours: Common Lives in Civil War Letters"
English | ISBN: 0674737644 | 2018 | 352 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
When North and South went to war, millions of American families endured their first long separation. For men in the armies―and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home―letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word.
