This Dictionary contains more than 600 dictionary entries on
utopian thought and experimentation that span the centuries from
ancient times to the present. The text not only covers utopian
communities worldwide, but also its ideas from the well known such
as those expounded in Thomas More's Utopia, and the ideas of
philosophers and reformers from ancient times, the Middle Ages, the
Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and from notable 20th-century
figures. Included are the descriptions of utopian experiments
attempted in the United Sates such as those of the Shakers, Oneida,
Robert Owen, and the Fourierists, and elsewhere throughout the
world from Europe to Australia, Latin America, and the Far East.
Major utopian literary works and their literary counterparts and
dystopian novels are also profiled because these have fueled the
fires of time-honored arguments about the feasibility of creating a
perfect society. From the early theoreticians and thinkers who
proposed republican, democratic, and authoritarian innovations; to
those who sought equality of classes, races, and genders; to those
who insisted on hierarchy under a supreme leader, or god; and to
those who had more practical economic, social, and ethical plans,
this reference enables the reader to explore the Western mind's
desire to improve the world and the lives of the people within it
as utopianism has persisted over the centuries. Includes: Persons,
plans, and attempts associated with utopianism, An introductory
essay, Chronology, An extensive bibliography, An appendix listing
the names and locations of utopian communities worldwide.
For introductory courses on digital design in an Electrical
Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science department.
A clear and accessible approach to the basic tools, concepts, and
applications of digital design A modern update to a classic,
authoritative text, Digital Design, 6th Edition teaches the
fundamental concepts of digital design in a clear, accessible
manner. The text presents the basic tools for the design of digital
circuits and provides procedures suitable for a variety of digital
applications. Like the previous editions, this edition of Digital
Design supports a multimodal approach to learning, with a focus on
digital design, regardless of language. Recognizing that three
public-domain languages-Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog-all play a
role in design flows for today's digital devices, the 6th Edition
offers parallel tracks of presentation of multiple languages, but
allows concentration on a single, chosen language.
The Origins of UNICEF traces the history of the founding of the
world's most well-known and often controversial relief aid
organization for children. UNICEF modeled itself after several
national organizations as well as some of the early
twentieth-century transnational and international relief aid
organizations, catering to a clientele that many observers claimed
would be impossible to resist or ignore. In only a few years,
UNICEF's programs provided relief aid to millions of children in
locations around the globe, but the atmosphere of post-war
cooperation, quickly supplanted by Cold War tensions, caused
UNICEF's efforts to be scrutinized lest they be too closely aligned
with either the United States or the Soviet Bloc. UNICEF remains
one of the most highly regarded and effective child relief-aid
organizations in the world. The story of its founding and its first
years as an aid organization provide insight into how an
international, apolitical, philanthropic organization must maneuver
through political and cultural tensions in order to achieve its
goal of mitigating human suffering.
Utopian thinking embraces fictional descriptions of how to create a
better (but not a perfect) alternative way of life as well as
intentional communities (that is, groups of people leading lives in
small communities for their own betterment and the betterment of
others). The first edition almost exclusively dealt with the
intentional-community side of utopianism; this second edition
offers a much more inclusive definition of the key term utopia by
offering a great many entries devoted to describing fictional or
literary utopian works. It is also heavily illustrated with plates
from utopian works, especially those from the heyday of utopianism
in the late nineteenth century. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Utopianism contains a chronology, an introduction,
appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on broad conceptual entries;
narrower entries about specific works; and narrower entries about
specific intentional communities or movements. This book is an
excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to
know more about Utopianism.
The United States Navy has evolved in the last century and a half
from humble and often frustrating beginnings during and after the
Revolutionary War to become the strongest navy in the world with
responsibilities that span the globe. The story of the Navy from
its birth through the Civil War and other 19th century conflicts
through its victories of World War I and World War II and down to
the current efforts in the Middle East to maintain the peace not
only for the United States but also for other nations as the
world's primary peace-keeper has been one of responding to the call
of duty, as captured by its unofficial motto Non sibi sed patriae
("Not self but country"). No other nation's navy past or present
can match its successes and history. The second edition of
Historical Dictionary of the United States Navy covers U.S. Naval
developments, personnel, and engagements from the colonial times to
the present day. This is done through a chronology, an introductory
essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced
dictionary entries on people, places, events and other terminology
of the Navy. This book is an excellent access point for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the United
States Navy.
Sherlock Holmes' mouse counterpart Basil lives in the basement of
221B Baker Street, just below the great man himself. Hired to
locate a kidnapped toymaker, Basil and his trusty sidekick Dawson
soon find themselves up against their arch-enemy Professor Ratigan.
It seems Ratigan wants to use the toymaker to make a mechanical
replica of the Queen who will then bestow the villain with the
right to rule over rodent London - but not if Basil can find a way
to stop him.

“a cogent, complex look at the American Revolution†– Kirkus
Reviews  Morris in one year put up more money for the war
than all the states combined. The spirit of risk and economic
freedom that he championed – laissez-faire capitalism, a radical
idea – helped us win the war (and gave rise to our modern
system). He coordinated the French Fleet and Washington's arrival
at Yorktown. He got rid of religious test laws, and signed all
three founding documents. His enemies won the election of 1800 and
wrote him out of the story. Only Washington was more
indispensable.Â
There are two main approaches towards the phenotypic analysis of
frequency dependent natural selection. First, there is the approach
of evolutionary game theory, which was introduced in 1973 by John
Maynard Smith and George R. Price. In this theory, the dynamical
process of natural selection is not modeled explicitly. Instead,
the selective forces acting within a population are represented by
a fitness function, which is then analysed according to the concept
of an evolutionarily stable strategy or ESS. Later on, the static
approach of evolutionary game theory has been complemented by a
dynamic stability analysis of the replicator equations. Introduced
by Peter D. Taylor and Leo B. Jonker in 1978, these equations
specify a class of dynamical systems, which provide a simple
dynamic description of a selection process. Usually, the
investigation of the replicator dynamics centers around a stability
analysis of their stationary solutions. Although evolutionary
stability and dynamic stability both intend to characterize the
long-term outcome of frequency dependent selection, these concepts
differ considerably in the 'philosophies' on which they are based.
It is therefore not too surprising that they often lead to quite
different evolutionary predictions (see, e. g. , Weissing 1983).
The present paper intends to illustrate the incongruities between
the two approaches towards a phenotypic theory of natural
selection. A detailed game theoretical and dynamical analysis is
given for a generic class of evolutionary normal form games.
A self-made millionaire shows you how to make millions while living
life on your own terms
At just eighteen years old, Matt Morris founded his first
marketing business. At twenty, he dropped out of college to pursue
business full-time. At twenty-one, he was homeless and deeply in
debt, living out of his car. It was then that he made a
life-changing decision to re-invent himself and his career. By
twenty-nine, Matt was a self-made millionaire. How did he do
it?
In "The Unemployed Millionaire," Morris reveals how he turned
his life around and shatters the myth that it takes money to make
money. Thanks to the Internet explosion and the ease of global
trade, it is possible for anyone to start a business and market
their products worldwide to millions of customers. Here, Morris
unlocks the secrets and provides you with the specific moneymaking
formula he used to turn his ideas into a fortune.Equips you with a
step-by-step formula for turning your great idea into a
million-dollar business in as little as twelve monthsProves you
don't have to be smart, lucky, or rich to make millionsGives you
the specific success principles all millionaires followAuthor Matt
Morris is an internationally recognized speaker who selectively
mentors other entrepreneurs, traveling the world, working very
little, and earning millions in the processWith a foreword by Les
Brown, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and television
personality
If you're serious about earning millions without working your
fingers to the bone, "The Unemployed Millionaire" gives you the
powerful strategies needed to turn your dreams into a reality.

The four volumes of Game Equilibrium Models present applications of
non-cooperative game theory. Problems of strategic interaction
arising in biology, economics, political science and the social
sciences in general are treated in 42 papers on a wide variety of
subjects. Internationally known authors with backgrounds in various
disciplines have contributed original research. The reader finds
innovative modelling combined with advanced methods of analysis.
The four volumes are the outcome of a research year at the Center
for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Bielefeld. The
close interaction of an international interdisciplinary group of
researchers has produced an unusual collection of remarkable
results of great interes for everybody who wants to be informed on
the scope, potential, and future direction of work in applied game
theory. Volume I Evolution and Game Dynamics mainly deals with
dynamic stability with respect to evolutionary processes. The book
offers not only theoretical classification of the foundations of
evolutionary game theory, but also exciting new biological
applications. Volume II Methods, Morals and Markets contains areas
of research which will attract the interest of economists,
political scientists, mathematicians and philosophers. The papers
deal with the methodology of analysis of games, game theoretic
contributions to fundamental ethical questions facing societies and
game-theoretic analyses of market environments. Volume III
Strategic Bargaining contains ten papers on game equilibrium models
of bargaining. All these contributions look at bargaining
situations as non-cooperative games. General models of two-person
and n-person bargaining areexplored. Volume IV Social and Political
Interaction contains game equilibrium models focussing on social
and political interaction within communities or states or between
states, i.e. national and international social and political
interaction. Specific aspects of those interactions are modelled as
non-cooperative games and their equilibria are analysed.
This volume contains the proceedings ofthe 4th Refinement Workshop
which was organised by the British Computer Society specialist
group in Formal Aspects of Computing Science and held in Wolfson
College, Cambridge, on 9-11 January, 1991. The term refinement
embraces the theory and practice of using formal methods for
specifying and implementing hardware and software. Most of the
achievements to date in the field have been in developing the
theoretical framework for mathematical approaches to programming,
and on the practical side in formally specifying software, while
more recently we have seen the development of practical approaches
to deriving programs from their speCifications. The workshop gives
a fair picture of the state of the art: it presents new theories
for reasoning about software and hardware and case studies in
applying known theory to interesting small-and medium-scale
problems. We hope the book will be Of interest both to researchers
in formal methods, and to software engineers in industry who want
to keep abreast of possible applications of formal methods in
industry. The programme consisted both of invited talks and
refereed papers. The invited speakers were Ib S0rensen,
Jean-Raymond Abrial, Donald MacKenzie, Ralph Back, Robert Milne,
Mike Read, Mike Gordon, and Robert Worden who gave the introductory
talk. This is the first refinement workshop that solicited papers
for refereeing, and despite a rather late call for papers the
response was excellent.
