R5,096 Discovery Miles 50 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents a history of shock compression science, including development of experimental, material modeling, and hydrodynamics code technologies over the past six decades at Sandia National Laboratories. The book is organized into a discussion of major accomplishments by decade with over 900 references, followed by a unique collection of 45 personal recollections detailing the trials, tribulations, and successes of building a world-class organization in the field. It explains some of the challenges researchers faced and the gratification they experienced when a discovery was made. Several visionary researchers made pioneering advances that integrated these three technologies into a cohesive capability to solve complex scientific and engineering problems. What approaches worked, which ones did not, and the applications of the research are described. Notable applications include the turret explosion aboard the USS Iowa and the Shoemaker-Levy comet impact on Jupiter. The personal anecdotes and recollections make for a fascinating account of building a world-renowned capability from meager beginnings. This book will be inspiring to the expert, the non expert, and the early-career scientist. Undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering who are contemplating different fields of study should find it especially compelling.

Confronting Evil in International Relations - Ethical Responses to Problems of Moral Agency (Hardcover): R. Jeffery Confronting Evil in International Relations - Ethical Responses to Problems of Moral Agency (Hardcover)
R. Jeffery
R1,464 Discovery Miles 14 640 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This title contains original essays on the subject of evil in international relations. Backlist potential: With violence and tension serving as constants in the realm of international relations, the topic of the book will be pertinent to discussions of past events, current affairs, and future concerns. Lack of Competition: While there are numerous books that cover ethics in international relations, none of these competitors focus specifically on evil in relation to the international community. This book offers original essays on the subject of evil in international relations. It considers questions of moral agency associated with the perpetration of evil acts by individuals and groups in the international sphere, and the range of ethical responses the international community has to it in the aftermath of large-scale evils.

Conflict and Cooperation in Participating Natural Resource Management (Hardcover, New): R. Jeffery, B. Vira Conflict and Cooperation in Participating Natural Resource Management (Hardcover, New)
R. Jeffery, B. Vira
R2,789 Discovery Miles 27 890 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Over the past 100 years, there has been a steady process by which natural resources have been increasingly managed by centralized institutions. Governments and other national agencies have argued that this promotes efficiency and equity. Recently this orthodoxy has been challenged by experiments that show how centralized management tends to fail. Global, national and local goals are more likely to be met, at lower cost and with other benefits (such as promoting better democratic institutions) by involving local populations in collaborative management agreements. This volume, based on detailed case studies from around the world, subjects some of these experiments to critical study, and suggests limits to the participative approach as well as ways it can be improved and made suitable for new contexts.

Analytical Issues in Participatory Natural Resources (Hardcover): B. Vira, R. Jeffery Analytical Issues in Participatory Natural Resources (Hardcover)
B. Vira, R. Jeffery
R1,474 Discovery Miles 14 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Attempts to manage natural resources through collaboration rather than competition, by agreements rather than conflict, have become the touchstone for many who see these efforts as the harbinger of global sustainable development. The contributors to this volume advise caution as well as optimism for projects conducted in this way. By drawing on the experience of NGOs, national governments, and donor sectors as well as academic researchers this volume analyzes the theory and practice of participatory natural resource management and demonstrates the value of constructive dialogue between all those involved.

Evil and International Relations - Human Suffering in an Age of Terror (Hardcover, 2008 ed.): R. Jeffery Evil and International Relations - Human Suffering in an Age of Terror (Hardcover, 2008 ed.)
R. Jeffery
R1,465 Discovery Miles 14 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the concept of 'evil' has enjoyed renewed popularity in both international political rhetoric and scholarly writing. World leaders, politicians, and intellectuals have increasingly turned to 'evil' to describe the very worst humanitarian atrocities that continue to mark international affairs. However, precisely what 'evil' actually entails is not well understood. Little consensus exists as to what 'evil' is, how it is manifested in the international sphere, and what we ought to do about it. With this in mind, this work seeks to ascertain precisely what is meant by 'evil' when it is used to describe actors and events in international politics. Focusing on the history of evil in western secular and religious thought, it reintroduces a classical understanding of evil as the means according to which we seek to understand otherwise meaningless human suffering.

Spectral Properties of Noncommuting Operators (Paperback, 2004 ed.): Brian R. Jefferies Spectral Properties of Noncommuting Operators (Paperback, 2004 ed.)
Brian R. Jefferies
R1,383 Discovery Miles 13 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Forming functions of operators is a basic task of many areas of linear analysis and quantum physics. Weyl 's functional calculus, initially applied to the position and momentum operators of quantum mechanics, also makes sense for finite systems of selfadjoint operators. By using the Cauchy integral formula available from Clifford analysis, the book examines how functions of a finite collection of operators can be formed when the Weyl calculus is not defined. The technique is applied to the determination of the support of the fundamental solution of a symmetric hyperbolic system of partial differential equations and to proving the boundedness of the Cauchy integral operator on a Lipschitz surface.

The marriage of evolutionary biology with developmental biology has resulted in the formation of a new field, evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo. This volume reviews current research findings and thought in the broad field of evo-devo, looking at the developmental genetic mechanisms that cause variation and how alterations of these mechanisms can generate novel structural changes in a variety of plant and animal life.
Reviews current research findings and thought on evolutionary developmental biology, providing researchers an overview and synthesis of the latest research findings and contemporary thought in the area
Includes chapters discussing the evolutionary development of a wide variety of organisms and allows researchers to compare and contrast how genes are expressed in a variety of organisms-from fly to frog, to humans
Emphasizes the role of regulatory DNA in evolutionary development to give researchers perspective on how the regions of the genome that control gene expression and the protein factors that bind them are ultimately responsible for the diversity of life that has evolved"

Attempts to manage natural resources through collaboration rather than competition, by agreements rather than conflict, have become the touchstone for many who see these efforts as the harbinger of global sustainable development. The received wisdom suggests that participatory natural resource management projects work because traditional knowledge of the resources and existing social structures can be utilised to develop more effective strategies for resource use. Participation is a flexible and adaptable concept, which can reflect local circumstances and priorities. The contributors to this volume advise caution as well as optimism for projects conducted in this way. By drawing on the experience of NGOs, national governments and donor sectors as well as academic researchers this volume analyses the theory and practice of participatory natural resource management and demonstrates the value of constructive dialogue between all those involved.
