In this volume, the authors present an original ethnographic study
of five llama herding communities in Ayacucho, Peru. Data on herd
dynamics are subjected to computer modeling in an effort to
evaluate the roles of biology, symbolic and ritual behavior,
ecological adaptation, and practical reason. The book contains the
most detailed study of the waytakuy llama marking ceremony yet
available. The role of this ceremony in preventing herds from going
to extinction is evaluated against anthropological and
sociobiological theory. This is an interdisciplinary book will
appeal to professional archaeologists, prehistorians, cultural
anthropologists, Andeanists, theoretical biologists, evolutionary
biologists, and zoologists interested in animal domestication.

The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen is the first-ever monograph
on this beloved midcentury husband-and-wife illustration team. This
award-winning pair created more than 40 beloved children's books
over the span of seven decades, many of which appeared on the New
York Times Best Illustrated Books of the Year lists. From early
favorites for Golden Books such as The Color Kittens by Margaret
Wise Brown, 1949, to their Caldecott-winning title The Glorious
Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot, 1983, the
Provensens' books inspired generations of young readers. Original
paintings for their beloved classics such as A Child's Garden of
Verses, 1951, The Iliad and the Odyssey, 1959, Myths and Legends,
1960 and many others, are beautifully reproduced and included here.
This comprehensive volume showcases hundreds of their well-known
illustrations, as well as many never-before-seen paintings,
drawings, and exquisite sketchbooks from their travels around the
world. An interview with their daughter Karen Provensen Mitchell
illuminates their life and career and includes many personal
photographs, quotes, speeches, and memorabilia from their archive.
An introduction by Leonard S. Marcus, a leading historian in
children's literature, underscores the Provensen's importance and
influence as illustrators and authors. Additionally, noted
publisher and close family friend Robert Gottlieb, provides a
personal essay that shares many of his memories with this cherished
couple. The Provensens' colorful, inimitable artwork is a treasure
trove that has influenced generations of children, designers,
illustrators, historians, and all who cherish classic children's
books.
The purpose of this four volume series is to make available for
college teachers and students samples of important and realistic
applications of mathematics which can be covered in undergraduate
programs. The goal is to provide illustrations of how modern
mathematics is actually employed to solve relevant contemporary
problems. Although these independent chapters were prepared
primarily for teachers in the general mathematical sciences, th y
should prove valuable to students, teachers, and research
scientists in many of the fields of application as well.
Prerequisites for each chapter and suggestions for the teacher are
provided. Several of these chapters have been tested in a variety
of classroom settings, and all have undergone extensive peer review
and revision. Illustrations and exercises are included in most
chapters. Some units can be covered in one class, whereas others
provide sufficient material for a few weeks of class time. Volume 1
contains 23 chapters and deals with differential equations and, in
the last four chapters, problems leading to partial differential
equations. Applications are taken from medicine, biology, traffic
systems and several other fields. The 14 chapters in Volume 2 are
devoted mostly to problems arising in political science, but they
also address questions appearing in sociology and ecology. Topics
covered include voting systems, weighted voting, proportional
representation, coalitional values, and committees. The 14 chapters
in Volume 3 emphasize discrete mathematical methods such as those
which arise in graph theory, combinatorics, and networks.
