Eigenvalue computations are ubiquitous in science and engineering.
John Francis's implicitly shifted QR algorithm has been the method
of choice for small to medium sized eigenvalue problems since its
invention in 1959. This book presents a new view of this classical
algorithm. While Francis's original procedure chases bulges, the
new version chases core transformations, which allows the
development of fast algorithms for eigenvalue problems with a
variety of special structures. This also leads to a fast and
backward stable algorithm for computing the roots of a polynomial
by solving the companion matrix eigenvalue problem. The authors
received a SIAM Outstanding Paper prize for this work. This book
will be of interest to researchers in numerical linear algebra and
their students.

Known historically as "the powder keg of Europe", the Balkans have
been a dynamic and dangerous place. The region is ethnically
diverse, a situation which in other cases could have been a boon to
a region. Instead, the Balkans have been the site of extensively
damaging upheaval, as individual nationalities (Slavs, Serbs,
Croats, etc.) have risen up against the governments. This book
assembles a collection of papers exploring and explaining some of
the most pertinent and vexing issues facing the Balkans today. Each
issue and nation discussed here now has and will continue to have a
lasting impact on the wider European and global communities. In the
current international climate highlighting national security and
the war on terror, the instability of south-eastern Europe has
taken on added significance. The questions of NATO and UN
involvement in regional hotspots like Kosovo is a constant debate,
as is the need to encourage economic growth across the region.
Anyone hoping to remain at the forefront of the major issues facing
the Balkans and Europe needs to be familiar with the information
analysed in this book.
t is sometimes said that Kentucky joined the South after the Civil
War, and many books have been devoted to studying the influence of
the war and its aftermath on the Commonwealth. But less is known
about the decades before the Civil War. In Generations of Hope:
Kentucky, 1800-1865, James Ramage and Andrea Watkins explore this
crucial but often overlooked period, finding that that the early
years of statehood comprised an era of great hope and progress.
Ramage and Watkins demonstrate how Kentuckians looked outward,
strongly supporting their country in the War of 1812 because they
viewed the United States in a global context and wanted it to
succeed on the world stage. Kentucky was perceived by the rest of
the nation to be a leader among the states. Henry Clay, of course,
was one of the great political figures of the era, but several
other Kentuckians were candidates at the national level. Kentucky
was a state of immigrants who brought their culture and world
outlook with them, along with an optimism based on the idea that
their region would participate fully in the advances of the day in
science, culture, politics, education, and economics. Progress also
included military advances, and the authors investigate the
development of ideas about service and patriotism in a military
context. The authors devote much attention to Kentuckians' complex
views on slavery and its impact on the state. Indeed, the analysis
of the Civil War is enhanced by understanding the context of the
previous sixty years. Drawing upon a wealth of primary and
secondary sources, Generations of Hope promises to be a fresh and
definitive account of Kentucky's early years. This project is a
co-publication with the Kentucky Historical Society.
This provocative book discusses two of the most significant influences on writing and thinking in the 20th century: women novelists and feminist theory. It demonstrates, in an accessible but imaginative manner, ways of reading women's novels alongside work by feminist theorists. Each chapter situates a small number of theoretical texts in their intellectual context and then links them with a widely taught novel to produce fresh interpretations. The novels and theorists represent examples of extremely significant, but also pedagogically useful feminist writing this century.
