While theoretical particle physics is an extraordinarily
fascinating field, the incredibly fast pace at which it moves
along, combined with the huge amount of background information
necessary to perform cutting edge research, poses a formidable
challenge for graduate students.
This book represents the first in a series designed to assist
students in the process of transitioning from coursework to
research in particle physics. Rather than reading literally dozens
of physics and mathematics texts, trying to assimilate the
countless ideas, translate notations and perspectives, and see how
it all fits together to get a holistic understanding, this series
provides a detailed overview of the major mathematical and physical
ideas in theoretical particle physics. Ultimately the ideas will be
presented in a unified, consistent, holistic picture, where each
topic is built firmly on what has come before, and all topics are
related in a clear and intuitive way.
This introductory text on quantum field theory and particle
physics provides both a self-contained and complete introduction to
not only the necessary physical ideas, but also a complete
introduction to the necessary mathematical tools. Assuming minimal
knowledge of undergraduate physics and mathematics, this book lays
both the mathematical and physical groundwork with clear, intuitive
explanations and plenty of examples. The book then continues with
an exposition of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, the theory
that currently seems to explain the universe apart from gravity.
Furthermore, this book was written as a primer for the more
advanced mathematical and physical ideas to come later in this
series.
• Provides a comprehensive look at the various forms of deviance
and criminality found within the conventional food system. •
Helps frame the discussion of food deviance and crime and advocates
the concept of “food criminology” as a topic of study. • Is
the first text to analyze the conventional food system from farming
through to sales and consumption and show the resulting harms in a
systemic fashion.

Centered on the concept of "Maximization," Matthew B. Robinson and
Dr. Daniel S. Murphy offer a new theory of elite deviance and
corporate crime called contextual anomie/strain theory. Exploring
how simultaneous use of legitimate (i.e., legal) and illegitimate
(i.e., deviant or illegal) means of opportunity in pursuit of one's
goals, Greed is Good explains various forms of elite deviance and
corporate crime. Contextual anomie/strain theory posits that
although everyone in American society experiences stress and
frustration association with American Dream, there are certain
contexts in American society that produce even greater stress,
frustration, and pressures toward crime. One such context is the
corporate workplace. This book affirms how deviance and criminality
have become normal in big business due to pressure to produce
massive profits at the expense of all other considerations.

The Fasti is one of Ovid's most complex, inventive, and remarkable
works. In presenting the Roman calendar in poetic form, it
encompasses an unusually wide range of subjects, a labyrinth of
religious rites, historical events, and astronomical myths that can
place significant demands on the reader. This commentary on Book 2
- the first detailed commentary in English for 80 years - guides
the reader through the maze of diverse material towards a fuller
appreciation of the poem, through detailed analysis of its
religious, historical, political, and literary background.
In Lord, That I May See: Fundamentals of Christian Philosophy,
Robinson surveys the most important concepts in classical
philosophy and offers the student a solid foundation in reason. In
recent times, the Catholic Church has been urging all of the
faithful to come to a renewed appreciation and understanding of
genuine philosophy. The pedagogical method of this book is one that
widens one's intellectual and spiritual lives in the faith.
Beautiful prayers and artwork are offered to help you elevate your
hearts and minds to the things of God. Since God has revealed
Himself supernaturally by Divine Revelation, and naturally by
creation, arguments are employed that make use of those avenues of
knowledge of God. Scripture and Tradition are cited to help ground
you in the context of the Catholic Church, a Church which is the
Opillar and ground of the truthO (1 Tim 3:15).
