This volume of the Encyclopaedia contains four parts each of which
being an informative survey of a topic in the field of several
complex variables. Thefirst deals with residue theory and its
applications to integrals depending on parameters, combinatorial
sums and systems of algebraic equations. The second part contains
recent results in complex potential theory and the third part
treats function theory in the unit ball covering research of the
last twenty years. The latter part includes an up-to-date account
of research related to a list of problems, which was published by
Rudin in 1980. The last part of the book treats complex analysis in
the futuretube. The future tube is an important concept in
mathematical physics, especially in axiomatic quantum field theory,
and it is related to Penrose'swork on "the complex geometry of the
real world." Researchers and graduate students in complex analysis
and mathematical physics will use thisbook as a reference and as a
guide to exciting areas of research.

Plurisubharmonic functions playa major role in the theory of
functions of several complex variables. The extensiveness of
plurisubharmonic functions, the simplicity of their definition
together with the richness of their properties and. most
importantly, their close connection with holomorphic functions have
assured plurisubharmonic functions a lasting place in
multidimensional complex analysis. (Pluri)subharmonic functions
first made their appearance in the works of Hartogs at the
beginning of the century. They figure in an essential way, for
example, in the proof of the famous theorem of Hartogs (1906) on
joint holomorphicity. Defined at first on the complex plane IC, the
class of subharmonic functions became thereafter one of the most
fundamental tools in the investigation of analytic functions of one
or several variables. The theory of subharmonic functions was
developed and generalized in various directions: subharmonic
functions in Euclidean space IRn, plurisubharmonic functions in
complex space en and others. Subharmonic functions and the
foundations ofthe associated classical poten tial theory are
sufficiently well exposed in the literature, and so we introduce
here only a few fundamental results which we require. More detailed
expositions can be found in the monographs of Privalov (1937),
Brelot (1961), and Landkof (1966). See also Brelot (1972), where a
history of the development of the theory of subharmonic functions
is given."

Debut novel from teen author Teen author J.R. King completed his
debut novel at 12. He spent a year and a half rewriting and
revising. The illustrations throughout the book and the upcoming
trading card game are based on J.R. King's own drawings. J.R.
King's twelve-year-old antihero turned hero, Arianna Kelt, is a
reformed thief and wizard seer. Now you wouldn't think being a
wizard seer would be such a big deal, but it is a big deal to the
Wizards of Skyhall. For you see, those particular wizards are sworn
to protect the citizens of Earth from all the things they shouldn't

magical realms that no humans should know exist. Certainly Arianna
would like to blame all her troubles on donuts--the vile,
corrupting food that has caused her problems more than once--but
she couldn't. Well, not quite. The truth was she got nabbed
sneaking a piece of cherry cobbler, and just when she thought her
luck was running out, she saw the wizard, and of course, seeing the
wizard got her into a whole new barrel of problems. Full of humor,
action, and adventure, you'll be rolling on the floor with

The only complete on-the-scene account of the heinous Freedom
Summer murders in Mississippi
"This book is a part of the arsenal decent Americans can employ
to make democracy for all truly a birthright and not a distant
dream. It relates the story of an atrocity committed on our
doorstep." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the civil rights movement, 1964 was the year of Freedom
Summer. On June 21, Mississippi, one of the last bastions of
segregation in America and a bloody battleground in the fight for
civil rights, reached the low point in its history. On that steamy
night three young activists were abducted and murdered in Neshoba
County near the small town of Philadelphia.
Their names were James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael
Schwerner. Two were from the North and labeled locally as "outside
agitators." Chaney was a Mississippi black. The murders not only
shook the nation and shamed the state of Mississippi but also
forced loose the iron grip of white supremacy in the South.
William Bradford Huie was sent to this seething community by the
"New York Herald Tribune" to cover the breaking story. Probing for
answers and conducting interviews, he wrote this documentary
account in the heat of the dangerous and dramatic moment, not in
the safe zone of retrospection.
This is not a political or sociological study, a collection of
articles or a diary, but a journalist's fact-filled story of people
that fate brought together in a tragic confrontation. Huie tells
the history of each young man and studies the personalities of the
killers. He reveals not only the harrowing events in this heinous
case but also the prejudice of ordinary citizens who allowed murder
to serve as their defense of prejudice. He helps us know the young
martyrs closely and introduces us to their killers and to the
hatred and suspicion that led inexorably to murder. This Banner
Books edition includes Huie's report on the trial three years
later. Nineteen local men were charged. Seven were found guilty of
conspiracy but none of murder.
William Bradford Huie (1910-1986), an Alabama journalist and
novelist who fought prejudice and hypocrisy throughout his
professional life, especially in his native South, wrote many
books, including "The Americanization of Emily," "The Execution of
Private Slovik," "The Revolt of Mamie Stover," "Mud on the Stars"
(all made into films), and "Wolf Whistle," the story of the Emmett
Till lynching.
