An engagingly-written account of mathematical tools and ideas, this
book provides a graduate-level introduction to the mathematics used
in research in physics. The first half of the book focuses on the
traditional mathematical methods of physics - differential and
integral equations, Fourier series and the calculus of variations.
The second half contains an introduction to more advanced subjects,
including differential geometry, topology and complex variables.
The authors' exposition avoids excess rigor whilst explaining
subtle but important points often glossed over in more elementary
texts. The topics are illustrated at every stage by carefully
chosen examples, exercises and problems drawn from realistic
physics settings. These make it useful both as a textbook in
advanced courses and for self-study. Password-protected solutions
to the exercises are available to instructors at
www.cambridge.org/9780521854030.

Pocket-books and other documents of a gentleman-parson bring the
Georgian era vividly to life. An affluent and clubbable
gentleman-parson of the Georgian age, for forty years John Longe
contributed extensively to society in rural mid-Suffolk, heading a
household which included ten domestic servants, plus farm staff. He
enjoyed the company of his peers, both as host and guest, and
travelled throughout the region, to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and
his native Norwich. Besides preaching and leading worship, Longe
trained young curates; marshalled his parishioners under threat of
Napoleon's invasion; and fulfilled the onerous responsibilities of
a magistrate, including supervision of the local House of Industry
and turnpike trusts. John Longe recorded his activities,
relationships and possessions in pocket-books and inventories,
leaving a rich archive for posterity. It is these documents which
are presented and transcribed here. They are accompanied by an
extensive introduction, setting them in context; notes on the many
individuals encountered; and full apparatus. The volume also
includes plates and maps.
Set amid the perils of illegal border crossings, The Iguana Tree is
the suspenseful saga of Lilia and Hector, who separately make their
way from Mexico into the United States, seeking work in the
Carolinas and a home for their infant daughter.
Michel Stone's harrowing novel meticulously examines the
obstacles each faces in pursuing a new life: manipulation, rape,
and murder in the perilous commerce of border crossings; betrayal
by family and friends; exploitation by corrupt officials and
rapacious landowners on the U.S. side; and, finally, the inexorable
workings of the U.S. justice system.
Hector and Lilia meet Americans willing to help them with legal
assistance and offers of responsible employment, but their illegal
entry seems certain to prove their undoing. The consequences of
their decisions are devastating. In the end, The Iguana Tree is a
universal story of loss, grief, and human dignity.

How can we live a balanced life in unbalanced times? How can the
practices of meditation and yoga support our relationships, our
work lives, and the greater good? Author, teacher, and
psychotherapist Michael Stone presents the essential insights of
mindfulness and yoga, emphasizing the teachings of simplicity and
the interdependence of all life.
Stone explains that the practices of yoga and meditation are not
about escaping reality but about living fully in the here and now,
opening to our experience, and gaining access to stillness within
the flow of life. The essence of yoga and Buddhist practice is
opening the heart--our own and the heart of the world. With that
awareness, Stone encourages us to get involved in our communities,
to speak out when we see wrongdoing, and to find ways of helping
others.
Letters to Australia, Volume 3 is a collection of Julius Stone's
radio broadcasts on various international issues between 1950 and
1951.
