Walking, Landscape and Environment explores walking as a method of
research and practice in the humanities and creative arts, emerging
from a recent surge of growth in urban and rural walking. This
edited collection of essays from leading figures in the field
presents an enquiry into, and a critique of, the methods and
results of cutting-edge 'walking research'. Walking negotiates the
intersections between the human self, place and space, offering a
cross-disciplinary collaborative method of research which can be
utilised in areas such as ecocriticism, landscape architecture,
literature, cultural geography and the visual arts. Bringing
together a multitude of perspectives from different disciplines, on
topics including health and wellbeing, disability studies, social
justice, ecology and gender, this book provides a unique appraisal
of the humanist perspective on landscape. In doing so, it
challenges Romantic approaches to walking, applying new ideas in
contemporary critical thought and alternative perspectives on
embodiment and trans-corporeality.

This modern take on partial differential equations does not require
knowledge beyond vector calculus and linear algebra. The author
focuses on the most important classical partial differential
equations, including conservation equations and their
characteristics, the wave equation, the heat equation, function
spaces, and Fourier series, drawing on tools from analysis only as
they arise. Within each section the author creates a narrative that
answers the five questions: What is the scientific problem we are
trying to understand? How do we model that with PDE? What
techniques can we use to analyze the PDE? How do those techniques
apply to this equation? What information or insight did we obtain
by developing and analyzing the PDE? The text stresses the
interplay between modeling and mathematical analysis, providing a
thorough source of problems and an inspiration for the development
of methods.
