Sadomasochism and the BDSM Community in the United States: Kinky People Unite chronicles the development of sadomasochistic sexuality and its communities in the United States from the post-war period to the present day. Having evolved from scattered networks of sadomasochists to a coherent body bound by shared principles of "safe, sane, consensual," activists worked to transform popular perceptions of their community, end its routine harassment by law enforcement and win inclusion in American society. Often paralleling the work of LGBTQ activists, people who engaged in BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism) transformed both their own sexual practices and how outsiders perceived them, successfully changing popular perceptions of them from fascists, murderers, and outlaws to people living an alternative lifestyle. The development of this community highlights the interactions of people of different sexual orientations within a sexual community, the influence of various campaigns for sexual freedom, and the BDSM community's influence on popular perceptions of sexuality and sexual freedom. The text's historical perspective gives depth and texture to a specific dimension of American history of sexuality. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the history of sexuality. Its clear and direct approach offers an important and useful chronology of a movement that has long been neglected.

An engaging survey of the fundamental concepts of mathematics and the many ways math is used in everyday life. This is a stimulating and simple reintroduction to all the math we all learned in high school but have forgotten, using many examples of how math applies to the real world. Highlights the math topics that are most relevant to everyday concerns, such as how statistics can be misleading and how interest on savings accounts accrues at different interest rates. Also explores the most fundamental mysteries and amazing properties, such as why two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number and why fractions can be easily multiplied but not easily added. Uses a multitude of examples from real life such as how extremely large numbers are used to write unbreakable computer codes and how the slope of a curve is used by biologists to calculate the rate of growth of species. It walks the reader step by step through simple solutions to each problem explored.

The theory of Markov chains, although a special case of Markov processes, is here developed for its own sake and presented on its own merits. In general, the hypothesis of a denumerable state space, which is the defining hypothesis of what we call a "chain" here, generates more clear-cut questions and demands more precise and definitive an swers. For example, the principal limit theorem ( 1. 6, II. 10), still the object of research for general Markov processes, is here in its neat final form; and the strong Markov property ( 11. 9) is here always applicable. While probability theory has advanced far enough that a degree of sophistication is needed even in the limited context of this book, it is still possible here to keep the proportion of definitions to theorems relatively low. . From the standpoint of the general theory of stochastic processes, a continuous parameter Markov chain appears to be the first essentially discontinuous process that has been studied in some detail. It is common that the sample functions of such a chain have discontinuities worse than jumps, and these baser discontinuities play a central role in the theory, of which the mystery remains to be completely unraveled. In this connection the basic concepts of separability and measurability, which are usually applied only at an early stage of the discussion to establish a certain smoothness of the sample functions, are here applied constantly as indispensable tools.

Dieser vierte Band geht naher auf ausgewahlte Themen ein. Uber den Reihen- und den Grenzwertbegriff sowie uber den in den fruheren Banden dargelegten Funktions- und Ableitungsbegriff wird die Taylorreihe erklart. Auch das Integral von Taylorreihen wird behandelt. Ein zweites Themengebiet ist die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. Neben einer Einfuhrung werden verschiedene Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen behandelt.
Wie in allen Banden wird das Gelernte durch ausgewahlte Ubungsaufgaben vertieft. Der Band kann Studierenden angeboten werden, sobald die Grundlagen der Differential- und Integralrechnung behandelt worden sind. Er baut auf dem ersten und zweiten Band des Einfuhrungskurses auf."

Der "Einfuhrungskurs Hohere Mathematik I" ist der Startband einer Reihe, die leicht lesbar und abwechslungsreich gestaltet ist, und die die wichtigsten Gebiete der Infinitesimalrechnung in einer und mehreren Variablen bietet. Dieser erste Band enthalt die Gebiete: Funktionen und ihre Schaubilder, Grenzwerte und Stetigkeit, Einfache und partielle Ableitungen."

Das Fundament, auf dem das Gebaude der hoheren Analysis ruht, ist die Lehre von den reellen Zahlen. Unausweichlich hat jede strenge Behandlung der Grundlagen der Differential- und Integralrechnung und der anschlieBenden Gebiete, ja selbst schon die strenge Behand- lung etwa der Wurzel-oder Logarithmenrechnung hier ihren Ausgangs- punkt zu nehmen. Sie erst schafft das Material. in dem dann Arithmetik und Analysis fast ausschlieBlich arbeiten, mit dem sie bauen konnen. Nicht von jeher war das Geftihl flir diese Notwendigkeit vorhanden. Die groBen Schopfer der Infinitesimalrechnung - LEIBNIZ und NEWfONl - und die nicht weniger groBen Ausgestalter derselben, 2 unter denen vor aHem EULER zu nennen ist, waren zu berauscht von dem gewaltigen Erkenntnisstrom, der aus den neu erschlossenen Quellen floB, als daB sie sich zu einer Kritik der Grundlagen veranlaBt fiihlten. Der Erfolg der neuen Methode war ihnen eine hinreichende Gewlihr fUr die Tragfestigkeit ihres Fundamentes. Erst als jener Strom abzuebben begann, wagte sich die kritische Analyse an die Grund- begriffe: etwa urn die Wende des 18. Jahrhunderts, vor aHem unter 3 dem machtigen EinfluB von GAUSS wurden solche Bestrebungen starker und sHirker. Aber es wahrte noch fast ein Jahrhundert, ehe hier die wesentlichsten Dinge als vollig geklart angesehen werden durften.

This is the first study of the life and art of Sydney Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's brother, a person notable not only for his importance in establishing his brother's career, but in several other early Hollywood enterprises, including the founding of United Artists and the Syd Chaplin Aircraft Corporation, America's first domestic airline. Sydney also had a successful film career, beginning in 1914 with Keystone and culminating with a string of popular films for Warner Bros. in the 1920s. Sydney's film career ended in 1929 because of an assault charge by an actress. This incident proved to be only the last in a string of scandals, each causing him to move to another place, another studio, or another business venture.

Every year thousands of people visit the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State. With a copy of "Exploring Coast Salish Prehistory" in hand, they will enjoy an introduction both to archaeology in general and to sites within San Juan Island National Historic Park.

The Coast Salish people inhabited the San Juans for 5,000 years. One important site on San Juan Island, Cattle Point, was a summer camp where residents engaged in fishing and shellfish harvesting. Native peoples' recollections of activities there have been confirmed by physical evidence in the form of shell middens, fish bones, and other artifacts.

Another San Juan site, English Camp, was a winter village site for 2,000 years. Structural remains provide insight into how people's lives and activities changed over time. Tools found at the site have allowed archaeologists to deduce that early residents ate camas bulbs and other plants, engaged in woodworking, weaving, fishing, and carving, and manufactured and used stone tools.

Stein's discussions of the sites and archaeological practices are enhanced by numerous illustrations. Clear photos of different types of artifacts, topographical maps, and other images help the reader to understand how people lived in the San Juans thousands of years ago.

Julie K. Stein is a curator of archaeology at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture; professor of anthropology; and divisional dean of computing, facilities, and research in the College of Arts and Sciences -- all at the University of Washington.

This is the first comprehensive history of seventeenth-ccntury Spanish theatrical music to be written in any language, and the first book-length study devoted to the music of the Spanish baroque in English. While particular aspects of the field have been explored before, no previous single study has succeeded in defining the place and function of music in the Spanish theatre of the Golden Age, and the nature of the extant repertory. This book explains the several musical-theatrical genres that flourished in seventeenth-century Spain, answers essential questions about their nature and development as court and public entertainments, and looks at the anomalous production of three operas in a period dominated by genres such as the semi-opera and the zarzuela. Based on a thorough study of the extant music, the plays, numerous historical documents, and descriptions from the period, the author builds a complete picture through a historical and contextual approach illustrated by musical and literary analysis. This book considerably advances our understanding of the culture of the baroque period in Spain, by making important statements about the nature of the Spanish musical baroque and its relation to European musical and theatrical developments. As such, it will be welcomed by musicologists, hispanists, students of Spanish culture, and historians of the arts and ideas.

This two-volume set documents the essential role of the sea and maritime activity across history, from travel and food production to commerce and conquest. In all eras, water transport has served as the cheapest and most efficient means of moving cargo and people over any significant distance. Only relatively recently have railroads and aircraft provided an alternative. Most of the world's bulk goods continue to travel primarily by ship over water. Even today, 95 percent of the cargo that enters and leaves the United States does so by ship. Similarly, people around the world rely on the sea for food, and in recent years, the sea has become an important source of oil and other resources, with the longterm effects of our continuing efforts to extract resources from the sea further highlighting environmental concerns that range from pollution to the exhaustion of fish stocks. This chronologically organized two-volume reference addresses the history of the sea, beginning with ancient civilizations (4000 to 1000 BCE) and ending with the modern era (1945 to the present day). Each of the eight chapters is further broken down into sections that focus on specific nations or regions, offering detailed descriptions of that area of the world and shorter entries on specific topics, individuals, and events. The book spans maritime history, covering major seafaring peoples and nations; famous explorers, travelers, and commanders; events, battles, and wars; key technologies, including famous ships; important processes and ongoing events, such as piracy and the slave trade; and more. Readers will benefit from dozens of primary source documents-ranging from ancient Egyptian tales of seafaring to texts by renowned travelers like Marco Polo, Zheng He, and Ibn Battuta-that provide firsthand accounts from the age of discovery as well as accounts of battle from World War I and II and more modern accounts of the sea. Provides a broad survey of the importance of the oceans for all of human culture and civilization, including coverage of diverse cultures such as the Polynesians, Vikings, Minoans, and many others Describes the voyages of the great explorers and places them in a broad multinational and multicultural perspective Traces the human use of the sea over time, noting activities and historic events such as piracy, the slave trade, fishing, and whaling, as well as describing commerce in ancient and modern contexts
