Julianna Margulies stars as the resilient and resourceful Alicia Florrick, whose life falls apart when her state attorney husband Peter is sent to jail after becoming involved in a very public sex and political corruption scandal. In order to support herself and two teenage children, Alicia goes back to work as a defence attorney and proceeds to rebuild her life - and her independence - case by case.
Working with Dynamic Crop Models: Methods, Tools and Examples for
Agriculture and Environment, 3e, is a complete guide to working
with dynamic system models, with emphasis on models in agronomy and
environmental science. The introductory section presents the
foundational information for the book including the basics of
system models, simulation, the R programming language, and the
statistical notions necessary for working with system models. The
most important methods of working with dynamic system models,
namely uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, model calibration
(frequentist and Bayesian), model evaluation, and data assimilation
are all treated in detail, in individual chapters. New chapters
cover the use of multi-model ensembles, the creation of metamodels
that emulate the more complex dynamic system models, the
combination of genetic and environmental information in gene-based
crop models, and the use of dynamic system models to aid in
sampling. The book emphasizes both understanding and practical
implementation of the methods that are covered. Each chapter simply
and clearly explains the underlying principles and assumptions of
each method that is presented, with numerous examples and
illustrations. R code for applying the methods is given throughout.
This code is designed so that it can be adapted relatively easily
to new problems.
This volume is a systematic treatment of the additive number theory
of polynomials over a finite field, an area possessing deep and
fascinating parallels with classical number theory. In providing
asymptomatic proofs of both the Polynomial Three Primes Problem (an
analog of Vinogradov's theorem) and the Polynomial Waring Problem,
the book develops the various tools necessary to apply an adelic
"circle method" to a wide variety of additive problems in both the
polynomial and classical settings. A key to the methods employed
here is that the generalized Riemann hypothesis is valid in this
polynomial setting. The authors presuppose a familiarity with
algebra and number theory as might be gained from the first two
years of graduate course, but otherwise the book is self-contained.
Starting with analysis on local fields, the main technical results
are all proved in detail so that there are extensive discussions of
the theory of characters in a non-Archimidean field, adele class
groups, the global singular series and Radon-Nikodyn derivatives,
L-functions of Dirichlet type, and K-ideles.
The Horseshoe Curve is known worldwide as an engineering
achievement by the Pennsylvania Railroad. This landmark, located
just west of Altoona, opened to traffic on February 15, 1854, and
it enabled a railroad line to climb the Allegheny Mountains and the
eastern continental divide. The Horseshoe Curve's construction
impacted railroad design and development for mountainous terrain
everywhere, enabling access to coal and other raw materials
essential for the industrial age. J. Edgar Thomson, chief engineer
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, is widely recognized for his
engineering and design of the Horseshoe Curve, a concept never
utilized previously. Today the curve is still in use and sees
approximately 70 trains daily. Through vintage photographs,
Horseshoe Curve chronicles how this marvel remains one of the vital
transportation arteries linking the east and west coasts of the
United States.
In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.
In this illustrated view of the history of Raith Rovers the author
builds up the story of the club by recounting events that happened
on every day of the year, even during the summer months. Triumphs,
disasters, shipwrecks, crazy Board Room decisions, managers (good
and bad), players (brilliant and mediocre) all feature. As do Davie
Morris, who captained Scotland when they beat all three Home
Nations in 1925; the wizardry of Alec James; the command of the
famous half back line of Young, McNaught and Leigh; and the dash
and enthusiasm of the team which won the Scottish League Cup. But
it is not just about the good days. There are bad days, and loads
of mediocre and mundane times too, as well as some accounts of
Raith Rovers in war time. The year as a whole reveals the
undeniable charm of the institution which means so much to so many
- Raith Rovers Football Club - or, as they are referred to in
Kirkcaldy, "the" Rovers.
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed
to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys
of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete
subject areas. This Advanced Introduction is an accessible and
critical review of the economic foundations of tourism. Taking a
regional approach based in macro- and resource economics, David
Marcouiller points to how the competitive aspect of tourism can be
transformative to regional activity. Offering insight into the
decision-making process among both private and public stakeholders,
this book makes clear the increasing necessity of using sound
planning principles and practice to shape tourism consumption and
production. Key Features: Explores integrative and sustainable
tourism planning Outlines the features and construction of the
tourism product and presents an environmental economics perspective
on non-market goods and services Takes a macroeconomic approach to
tourism development, highlighting the regional attributes of
amenities and tourism demand This timely Advanced Introduction will
be crucial reading for scholars interested in tourism economics and
development, economic geography and urban and regional economics as
well as those looking for a thought-provoking introduction to this
evolving area of study.

In 1991, Ahmed Ali Haile returned to the chaos of his native
Somalia with a clear mission: to bring warring clans together to
find new paths of peace--often over a cup of tea. A grenade thrown
by a detractor cost Haile his leg and almost his life, but his
stature as a peacemaker remained. Whether in Somali's capital,
Mogadishu, or among Somalis in Kenya, Europe, and the United
States, Haile has been a tireless ambassador for the peace of
Christ. Into this moving memoir of conversion and calling, Haile
weaves poignant reflections on the meaning of his journey in the
world of Islam. 144 Pages.
