This is a long awaited book on rational homotopy theory which contains all the main theorems with complete proofs, and more elementary proofs for many results that were proved ten or fifteen years ago. The authors added a frist section on classical algebraic topology to make the book accessible to students with only little background in algebraic topology.

This straightforward and practical guide outlines a strategic approach to public involvement in government decision making.

Rational homotopy theory is a subfield of algebraic topology. Written by three authorities in the field, this book contains all the main theorems of the field with complete proofs. As both notation and techniques of rational homotopy theory have been considerably simplified, the book presents modern elementary proofs for many results that were proven ten or fifteen years ago.

Charleston, South Carolina is a beautiful and culturally rich city with a storied past and contemporary accolades. Gain an intimate view of this world-class metropolis through the mind of one of its most notorious bon vivants. J.C. Thomas ruminates on a plethora of topics in this laugh out loud collection of tweets from his nights roaming the Holy City. Learn about the Lowcountry's rich culinary heritage ("I love this cornbread so much I'm gonna take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant."), thirst for high fashion ("If I don't get a free drink tonight, I swear I'm suing Gucci."), and passion for the arts ("I'm sorry, but this 'singer' sounds like someone strung an old-timey cat intestine on some sort of poltergeist racquet.") Just Have a Seat is an irreverent collection of shade, side-eye, and social commentary for those whose outward civility masks a deep contempt for the annoying and absurd that surrounds them. Organized by theme and tagged with dates, this tome is sure to endure as an historical record of life in the age of iPhones, Twitter, and Blanket Jackson. So just have a seat, won't you, and listen to the scathing observations of a nefarious man about town.
