Virginia Women is the first of two volumes exploring the history of Virginia women through the lives of exemplary and remarkable individuals. This collection of seventeen essays, written by established and emerging scholars, recovers the stories and voices of a diverse group of women, from the seventeenth century through the Civil War era. Placing their subjects in their larger historical contexts, the authors show how the experiences of Virginia women varied by race, class, age, and marital status, and also across both space and time. Some essays examine the lives of well-known women-such as First Lady Dolley Madison-from a new perspective. Others introduce readers to relatively obscure historical figures: the convicted witch Grace Sherwood; the colonial printer Clementina Rind; Harriet Hemings, the enslaved daughter of Thomas Jefferson. Essays on the frontier heroine Mary Draper Ingles and the Civil War spy Elizabeth Van Lew examine the real women behind the legends. Altogether, the essays in this collection offer readers an engaging and personal window onto the experiences of women in the Old Dominion.

This book combining wavelets and the world of the spectrum focuses on recent developments in wavelet theory, emphasizing fundamental and relatively timeless techniques that have a geometric and spectral-theoretic flavor. The exposition is clearly motivated and unfolds systematically, aided by numerous graphics.This self-contained book deals with important applications to signal processing, communications engineering, computer graphics algorithms, qubit algorithms and chaos theory, and is aimed at a broad readership of graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in applied mathematics and engineering. The book is also useful for other mathematicians with an interest in the interface between mathematics and communication theory.

This text, combining analysis and tools from mathematical probability, focuses on a systematic and novel exposition of a recent trend in pure and applied mathematics. The emphasis is on the unity of basis constructions and their expansions (bases which are computationally efficient), and on their use in several areas: from wavelets to fractals. The aim of this book is to show how to use processes from probability, random walks on branches, and their path-space measures in the study of convergence questions from harmonic analysis, with particular emphasis on the infinite products that arise in the analysis of wavelets. The book brings together tools from engineering (especially signal/image processing) and mathematics (harmonic analysis and operator theory). audience of students and workers in a variety of fields, meeting at the crossroads where they merge; hands-on approach with generous motivation; new pedagogical features to enhance teaching techniques and experience; includes more than 34 figures with detailed captions, illustrating the main ideas and visualizing the deeper connections in the subject; separate sections explain engineering terms to mathematicians and operator theory to engineers; and, interdisciplinary presentation and approach, combining central ideas from mathematical analysis (with a twist in the direction of operator theory and harmonic analysis), probability, computation, physics, and engineering. The presentation includes numerous exercises that are essential to reinforce fundamental concepts by helping both students and applied users practice sketching functions or iterative schemes, as well as to hone computational skills. Graduate students, researchers, applied mathematicians, engineers and physicists alike will benefit from this unique work in book form that fills a gap in the literature.

Hard Charger is a comprehensive history of the USS Biddle (DLG/CG-34) as told by the officers and men who served aboard her. Co-author RADM Tom Marfiak suggests that it is a first hand account of what life was like aboard a front line missile cruiser in the middle of the Cold War. The combat sequences have not been equaled anywhere-and the story is by the people who lived them. The book tells the story of a ship from start to finish, a story mirrored by many others, but distinguished in this case by her performance in combat. A ship is just a hull, without her crew. Here is the opportunity to see into who they were, and what they meant to each other and the ship, and so to the Navy and the nation. The tradition continues. Bernie Ditter, writing in Tin Can Sailors, stated, In this reviewers opinion the real story is the transformation of the surface ships of war from guns to missiles and so far into the information age that the gunner's mates from the past have almost become anachronistic. Captain Maylon T Scott, Biddle's first commanding officer, wrote, Hard Charger very accurately depicts how Biddle's plank owners, through hard work, determination and dedication, set the readiness and response were new at the time but now are official doctrine in the Fleet today.

The Devil wants his due ... The Daemon wants his out ... and Jade just wants it all to be over. You don't always get what you want. Jade Shear is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary ability that's literally about to send her to Hell. When Daemons discover Jade's power to read and manipulate others true feelings, they force her to assist with the rescue of their sibling; thrusting her from her everyday normality deep into the Underworld with the tall, dark and deliciously demonic Nias Hu'dor assigned as her guide. All Nias wants is to live out his life without being involved with anyone else. No more emotion, no more connections, especially to pain in the ass humans. But when he sees Jade twisting a long curl of her wild red hair, and showing off the most amazing backside he's ever been privy to; Nias just knew he was staring at a world of trouble. How could his family have enlisted him to obtain this girls help to traverse Sheol? This dark paranormal romance takes you from Jade's everyday existence into the world of the Djinn Sentry; an army of demonic solders determined to protect the human race; and then plummets you straight down into the seething malevolent Underworld where a multi-levelled caste system of Shaitan and the Devil himself welcome you.

This second of two volumes continues the exploration of the history of Virginia women through the lives of exemplary and remarkable individuals. Seventeen essays written by established and emerging scholars recover the stories and voices of a diverse group of women, from the transition from slavery to freedom in the period following the Civil War through the struggle to secure rights for gay and lesbian women in the late twentieth century. Placing their subjects in their larger historical contexts, the authors show how the experiences of Virginia women varied by race, class, age, and marital status, and also across both space and time. Some essays examine the lives of well-known women-such as Ellen Glasgow and Patsy Cline-from a new perspective. Others introduce readers to historical figures who are less familiar: freedmen schoolteacher Caroline Putnam; reformer Orra Gray Langhorne; Sadie Heath Cabaniss, the founder of professional nursing in Virginia; and Marie Kimball, an early preservationist. Essays on cotton textile workers in the late nineteenth century and home demonstration agents in the early twentieth examine women's collective experiences in these important areas. Altogether, the essays in this collection offer readers an engaging and personal window into the experiences of women in the Old Dominion.

This edited volume in the SIOP Frontiers series is one of the first to look at the psychological factors behind politics and power in organizations. Noted contributors from schools of management, psychology, sociology and political science look at the theory, research, methodology and ethical issues related to organizational politics and climates. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 looks at the historical evolution of the field; Part 2 integrates organizational politics with important organizational behavior constructs and/or areas of inquiry, for example in the chapter by Lisa Leslie and Michele Gelfand which discusses the implications of cross-cultural politics on expatriates and within cross-national mergers; and Part 3 focuses on individual differences and organizational politics, focusing on the nature of political relationships.

ADVAI\CES in communication, sensing, and computational power have Jed to an cxplosion of data. The size and varied formats for these datasets challenge existing techniqucs for transmission, storage, querying, display, and numerical manipula tion. This Ieads to the paradoxical situation where experiments or numerical com pulations produce rich, detailed inforrnation, for which, at this point, no adequate analysis tools exist. -Conference annow cement, Joint IDR-1/v A Workshop on Ideal Data Nepresentaticm, Minneapolis, R.
