A pioneering new nonlinear approach to a fundamental question in
algebraic geometry One of the crowning achievements of
nineteenth-century mathematics was the proof that the geometry of
lines in space uniquely determines the Cartesian coordinates, up to
a linear ambiguity. What Determines an Algebraic Variety? develops
a nonlinear version of this theory, offering the first nonlinear
generalization of the seminal work of Veblen and Young in a
century. While the book uses cutting-edge techniques, the
statements of its theorems would have been understandable a century
ago; despite this, the results are totally unexpected. Putting
geometry first in algebraic geometry, the book provides a new
perspective on a classical theorem of fundamental importance to a
wide range of fields in mathematics. Starting with basic
observations, the book shows how to read off various properties of
a variety from its geometry. The results get stronger as the
dimension increases. The main result then says that a normal
projective variety of dimension at least 4 over a field of
characteristic 0 is completely determined by its Zariski
topological space. There are many open questions in dimensions 2
and 3, and in positive characteristic.
To ensure continuity and foster innovation within the discipline of
folklore, we must know what came before. Folklore in the United
States and Canada is an essential guide to the history and
development of graduate folklore programs throughout the United
States and Canada. As the first history of folklore studies since
the mid-1980s, this book offers a long overdue look into the
development of the earliest programs and the novel directions of
more recent programs. The volume is encyclopedic in its coverage
and is organized chronologically based on the approximate founding
date of each program. Drawing extensively on archival sources, oral
histories, and personal experience, the contributors explore the
key individuals and central events in folklore programs at US and
Canadian academic institutions and demonstrate how these programs
have been shaped within broader cultural and historical contexts.
Revealing the origins of graduate folklore programs, as well as
their accomplishments, challenges, and connections, Folklore in the
United States and Canada is an essential read for all folklorists
and those who are studying to become folklorists.

Research in Analytical Psychology: Applications from Scientific,
Historical, and Cross-Cultural Research is a unique collection of
chapters from an international selection of contributors,
reflecting the contemporary field of research in Analytical
Psychology with a focus on qualitative and mixed-methods research.
Presented in seven parts, this volume offers unique qualitative
research that highlights approaches to understanding the psyche and
investigating its components, and offers a Jungian perspective on
cultural forces affecting individual psychology. The book brings
forward the connections between Analytical Psychology and other
disciplines including neuroscience, psychotherapy research,
developmental research, Freudian psychoanalysis, and cultural
studies. Part I provides an introduction to the volume, establishes
the nature of qualitative and interdisciplinary research and its
applications for research in other fields, and outlines the
presented work. Part II, Approaching Qualitative Research in
Analytical Psychology, examines postmodernism and the value a
Jungian perspective offers, and introduces Jung's correspondence as
an emerging resource. Part III, Research on Symbolic Aspects of the
Psyche, looks at archetypal theory and cultural complex theory.
Part IV, Research on Consciousness and Emotion, presents chapters
on meditation and the spectrums of emotion in mythologies,
philosophy, Analytical Psychology, and the neurosciences. Part V, A
Complex Systems Approach to the Psyche, addresses research on
synchronicity, the geometry of individuation, and complexity,
ecology, and symbolism. Part VI, Cross-Cultural Research, contains
chapters concerning transcendence, psychosocial transformation,
psychological infrastructure, and cultural complexes and cultural
identity. Part VII concludes the volume by setting directions for
potential areas of future study and collaboration. Each chapter
provides an overview of research in a specific area and closes with
potential directions for future investigation. The book will enable
practitioners and researchers to evaluate the empirical status of
their concepts and methods and, where possible, set new directions.
It also presents the significance of contemporary Analytical
Psychology and offers opportunities for cross-discipline
collaboration and fertilization. This book will be essential
reading for analytical psychologists in practice and in training,
academics and students of Analytical Psychology and post-Jungian
ideas, and academics and students of other disciplines seeking to
integrate methods from Analytical Psychology into their research.
It is complemented by its companion volume, Research in Analytical
Psychology: Empirical Research.

Are you developing strategies for a future sustainable energy
supply? Are you designing policies to deploy renewable energy
technologies in your country? Are you looking for new tools and
measures to make your policies more effective? Are you planning to
make decisions on renewable energy investments in certain countries
and are you checking their policy robustness?
Let the IEA guide you into successful, efficient and effective
policies and decisions for accelerating deployment of renewable
energy. Learn about the six policy actions that are essential
ingredients for your policy portfolio: Alliance Building
Communicating Target SettingIntegration in economic policies

In this anthology of his writings, spanning over sixty years of his
professional career, Fitch's incisive ideas and observations on a
range of subjects are brought to light in a single, readable
volume. Whether a lament of the loss of functionalism in the wake
of modernism, a celebration of the architectural perfection
embodied in the University of Virginia campus, or an appeal to
architects to heed factors of climate and environment in their
designs, Fitch's essays are both provocative and pragmatic and
always deeply rooted in the human element. In the face of
contemporary concerns such as suburban sprawl, energy expenditure,
and environmental degradation, Fitch's writings resonate today more
than ever.
