Ecologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music explores
music as a dynamic practice embedded in contemporary ecological
contexts, one that both responds to, and creates change within, the
ecologies in which it is created and consumed. This highly
interdisciplinary analysis includes theoretical and practical
considerations—from blockchain technology and digital platform
commerce to artificial intelligence and the future of work, to
sustainability and political ecology—as well as contemporary
philosophical paradigms, guiding its investigation through three
main lenses: How can music work as a conceptual tool to interrogate
and respond to our changing global environment? How have
transformations in our digital environment affected how we produce,
distribute and consume music? How does music relate to matters of
political ecology and environmental change? Within this framework,
music is positioned as a starting point from which to examine a
range of contexts and environments, offering new perspectives on
contemporary technological and ecological discourse. Ecologies of
Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music is a valuable text for
advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and
practitioners concerned with producing, performing, sharing and
listening to music.
Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, Second Edition takes
both an analytical/theoretical approach and a visual/intuitive
approach to the local and global properties of curves and surfaces.
Requiring only multivariable calculus and linear algebra, it
develops students' geometric intuition through interactive computer
graphics applets supported by sound theory. The book explains the
reasons for various definitions while the interactive applets offer
motivation for certain definitions, allow students to explore
examples further, and give a visual explanation of complicated
theorems. The ability to change parametric curves and parametrized
surfaces in an applet lets students probe the concepts far beyond
what static text permits. New to the Second Edition Reworked
presentation to make it more approachable More exercises, both
introductory and advanced New section on the application of
differential geometry to cartography Additional investigative
project ideas Significantly reorganized material on the
Gauss-Bonnet theorem Two new sections dedicated to hyperbolic and
spherical geometry as applications of intrinsic geometry A new
chapter on curves and surfaces in Rn Suitable for an
undergraduate-level course or self-study, this self-contained
textbook and online software applets provide students with a
rigorous yet intuitive introduction to the field of differential
geometry. The text gives a detailed introduction of definitions,
theorems, and proofs and includes many types of exercises
appropriate for daily or weekly assignments. The applets can be
used for computer labs, in-class illustrations, exploratory
exercises, or self-study aids.

Environmental applications have long been a core use of GIS.
However, the effectiveness of GIS-based methods depends on the
decision-making frameworks and contexts within which they are
employed. GIS for Environmental Decision-Making takes an
interdisciplinary look at the capacities of GIS to integrate,
analyze, and display data on which decisions must be based. It
provides a broad prospective on the current state of GIS for
environmental decision-making and emphasizes the importance of
matters related to data, analysis, and modeling tools, as well as
stakeholder participation. The book is divided into three sections,
which effectively relate to three key aspects of the
decision-making process as supported by GIS: data required, tools
being developed, and aspects of participation. The first section
stresses the ability to integrate data from different sources as a
defining characteristic of GIS and illustrates the benefits that
this can bring in the context of deriving land-use and other
information. The second section discusses a range of issues
concerning the use of GIS for suitability mapping and strategic
planning exercises, through illustrative examples. The last section
of the book focuses on the use of GIS-based techniques to
facilitate public participation in decision-making processes. In
particular, it provides an overview of developments in this area,
concentrating on how GIS, modeling, and 3D landscape visualization
techniques are gradually achieving closer integration. Given the
complex challenges presented by global environmental change, GIS
for Environmental Decision-Making provides a clear illustration of
how the use of GIS can make significant contributions
totrans-disciplinary initiatives to address environmental problems.
Differential Geometry of Manifolds, Second Edition presents the
extension of differential geometry from curves and surfaces to
manifolds in general. The book provides a broad introduction to the
field of differentiable and Riemannian manifolds, tying together
classical and modern formulations. It introduces manifolds in a
both streamlined and mathematically rigorous way while keeping a
view toward applications, particularly in physics. The author takes
a practical approach, containing extensive exercises and focusing
on applications, including the Hamiltonian formulations of
mechanics, electromagnetism, string theory. The Second Edition of
this successful textbook offers several notable points of revision.

The Soviet World, first published in 1965, examines both the
domestic society of the Soviet Union under Khrushchev and its
foreign relations with the capitalist world. Khrushchev offered a
challenge to the West, to compare the practical benefits to the
people of communism and capitalism, and his foreign policies as
much as his domestic policies aimed to prove the Soviet Union's
economic superiority to the United States.
Ecologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music explores

A Handbook of Environmental Management presents a range of case
studies that demonstrate the complementary application of different
social science techniques in combination with ecology-based
management thinking to the natural environment. Contemporary
environmental management is characterised by an increasing
awareness of the need for interdisciplinary approaches. This
requires managers to effectively combine insights from both the
natural and social sciences in order to ensure sustainable
outcomes. This eloquent and unique Handbook provides a broad
overview, complimented by specific case studies and techniques that
are used in environmental management from the local level to
international environmental regimes. With contributions from
leading authorities in the field, this innovative volume provides a
valuable teaching aid for students, as well as an insightful and
practical reference tool for environmental practitioners with no
background in the social sciences. Environmental managers and
policymakers attempting to learn about, and integrate thinking
from, the social sciences should also not be without this important
resource. Contributors: B. Adhikari, J. Barnard, T.M. Brooks, N.

The rule of law is a valuable human achievement. It is valuable not
only instrumentally, but also for its own sake as a significant
aspect of social justice. Only in a society that enjoys the rule of
law is it possible for people to regard one another as fellow free
citizens; no one the master of anyone else. Nevertheless, the rule
of law is poorly understood. In this book, Frank Lovett develops a
rigorous conception of the rule of law that is grounded in legal
positivism, and offers a civic republican argument for its value in
terms of freedom from domination. Bridging persistent
methodological gaps that divide legal philosophy, social science,
and political theory, Lovett demonstrates how insights from all
three can be united in a single powerful theory. This book will
appeal to anyone interested in the rule of law, including scholars,
legal officials, and policy-makers.
Through two previous editions, the third edition of this popular
and intriguing text takes both an analytical/theoretical approach
and a visual/intuitive approach to the local and global properties
of curves and surfaces. Requiring only multivariable calculus and
linear algebra, it develops students' geometric intuition through
interactive graphics applets. Applets are presented in Maple
workbook format, which readers can access using the free Maple
Player. The book explains the reasons for various definitions while
the interactive applets offer motivation for definitions, allowing
students to explore examples further, and give a visual explanation
of complicated theorems. The ability to change parametric curves
and parametrized surfaces in an applet lets students probe the
concepts far beyond what static text permits. Investigative project
ideas promote student research. At users of the previous editions'
request, this third edition offers a broader list of exercises.
More elementary exercises are added and some challenging problems
are moved later in exercise sets to assure more graduated progress.
The authors also add hints to motivate students grappling with the
more difficult exercises. This student-friendly and readable
approach offers additional examples, well-placed to assist student
comprehension. In the presentation of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem, the
authors provide more intuition and stepping-stones to help students
grasp phenomena behind it. Also, the concept of a homeomorphism is
new to students even though it is a key theoretical component of
the definition of a regular surface. Providing more examples show
students how to prove certain functions are homeomorphisms.
This new text offers a student-centered approach. It presents
groups first approach, offers flexibility, and is aimed at both a
one- and two-semester course. The primary difference from key
competitors is level and organization. There are many AA texts,
offering a wide-range of levels, and this text is written to the
precise middle of the market. Abstract Algebra is taught at every
four-year university and college throughout the world. It is a
course typically required of mathematics majors, yet also of those
planning on becoming teachers. The groups-first approach is the
most popular.
This unique and contemporary text not only offers an introduction
to proofs with a view towards algebra and analysis, a standard fare
for a transition course, but also presents practical skills for
upper-level mathematics coursework and exposes undergraduate
students to the context and culture of contemporary mathematics.
The authors implement the practice recommended by the Committee on
the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM) curriculum guide,
that a modern mathematics program should include cognitive goals
and offer a broad perspective of the discipline. Part I offers: An
introduction to logic and set theory. Proof methods as a vehicle
leading to topics useful for analysis, topology, algebra, and
probability. Many illustrated examples, often drawing on what
students already know, that minimize conversation about "doing
proofs." An appendix that provides an annotated rubric with
feedback codes for assessing proof writing. Part II presents the
context and culture aspects of the transition experience,
including: 21st century mathematics, including the current
mathematical culture, vocations, and careers. History and
philosophical issues in mathematics. Approaching, reading, and
learning from journal articles and other primary sources.
Mathematical writing and typesetting in LaTeX. Together, these
Parts provide a complete introduction to modern mathematics, both
in content and practice. Table of Contents Part I - Introduction to
