Combining the freshly edited texts of the Oxford Edition with lively introductions, this contemporary Shakespeare enables readers to see and read Shakespeare afresh.

    Unique in basing relativity on the Principle of Equivalence of Gravitation and Inertia over Riemannian geometry, this book explores relativity experiments and observational cosmology to provide a sound foundation upon which analyses can be made. Covering special and general relativity, tensor analysis, gravitation, curvature, and more, this book provides an engaging, insightful introduction to the forces that shape the universe.

    This book also features the design process, streamlined coverage of statistics, an overview of materials and materials selection, failure and fatigue, and review of basic strength of materials topics.

    Despite its relatively narrow focus, it is chock full of the pearls of clinical wisdom that students and practitioners treasure, and many of these lessons apply to medicine in general. The book was well characterized by a reviewer of an earlier edition for The New England Journal of Medicine: If only one book about surgery could be made available to physicians from all specialties, it should probably be Silen's recent revision of Cope's Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen. Since the book first appeared more than 30 years ago, it has remained the classic treatise on the initial approach to abdominal pain. Because acute, severe abdominal pain is still a common problem whose misdiagnosis can result in quick death, each generation of beginning physicians is faced with the urgency of learning to make a diagnosis in this high anxiety situation and they appreciate the wise, humane, precisely detailed guidance offered by Cope and Silen. For the 21st Edition, Dr. Silen has again updated the text in a respectful but significant way. He has strengthened its emphasis on pitfalls in the interpretation of CT and ultrasound scans, on misadventures caused by over-reliance on blood tests and radiographs, and on careful history-taking to avoid the costs of inappropriate lab tests. He has also reviewed the data from a randomized clinical trial indicating that patients should receive adequate analgesia while awaiting a definitive diagnosis, a dictum that is contrary to traditional teaching

    This is a revision of the famed pocket guide giving engineers, scientists, technicians, and students thousands of essential technical and mathematical formulas and hundreds of diagrams to simplify and speed their calculations.

    The twelfth edition of this well-known and highly respected textbook features many new chapters, and covers the full range of midwifery core issues and related subjects.

    It describes the fundamental principles of functional analysis and is essentially self-contained, although there are occasional references to later volumes. We have included a few applications when we thought that they would provide motivation for the reader. Later volumes describe various advanced topics in functional analysis and give numerous applications in classical physics, modern physics, and partial differential equations.

    Problems of varying difficulty are used throughout the text to aid comprehension.

    

    The author emphasizes the role of experiments in testing ecological ideas, discusses many contemporary, controversial problems, and explains all mathematical concepts of ecology and reinforces concepts with research references and chapter-ending review questions. This edition has been updated and reviewed by experts in the field to feature coverage of the emerging areas of behavioural and physiolgical ecology and a more in-depth discussion of population genetics, mutualism and succession. It also includes a new two-colour format, four-colour insert, and new features to aid learning.

    Most space devoted to the application of cylinder functions and spherical harmonics. Also explores gamma function, probability integral and related functions, Airy functions, hyper-geometric functions, more. Translated by Richard Silverman.

    Over 50 classroom-tested collaborative exercises are included emphasizing the major phases of essay writing.

    That seminal publication written by Norton J. Kiritz and named the “grantseekers’ Bible” by the New York Times in 2006, was used in over 40 countries, published in four languages, and used by over 1 million people.The new, 2015 book, Grantsmanship: Program Planning & Proposal Writing, distills insights Grantsmanship Center trainers have gained from over 125,000 nonprofit professionals and provides essential guidance that is clear and assessable. This book maintains the vision and voice of the original publication, but is vastly updated and expanded to cover everything today’s nonprofit professionals need to know to create effective programs and competitive grant proposals. It will set new grantseekers on the right track, and challenge experienced nonprofit professionals towards increased rigor in their work. The new edition includes updates of the well-loved checklists from the original and also tackles new and pressing topics. ∙ Understand universal concepts in grantsmanship so you can translate any funder’s application guidelines. ∙ Understand the eight components of a logical case for support, how they fit together and why they must. ∙ Learn to develop meaning outcomes for a “prevention program.” ∙ Develop a simple, useful program evaluation plan by answering 8 essential questions. ∙ Understand the anatomy of a budget and varied ways funders calculate matching fund requirements.∙ Adapt this foundational model for various types of proposals: arts & culture, capacity building, capital projects, general operations, planning, and research.

    Emphasizing the basic scientific principles that determine how infectious agents interact with humans, this new edition of a classic resource replaces multiple texts by covering bacteriology, immunology, virology, mycology, and parasitology in one book.

    "Highly recommended for every homeowner, novice or advanced."--The Star-Ledger. 2,000+ photos & illustrations.

    While maintaining its already successful writing style and pedagogy, this title has also incorporated key organizational changes in order to reflect recent trends in the field. The text features large quantity of examples and student problems and a strong introduction to the proper use and misuse of control charts. In this edition several chapters were streamlined, and consolidations and profitability were brought forward in the text. There is new material on experimental design, a reduced emphasis on acceptance sampling, and enhanced attention to the managerial and organizational aspects of quality control. Free SPC expert software is packaged with the text for use as a statistical and graphical tool. Text plus 3.5 diskette.

    One of the largest and finest available collections, the catalog covers general properties of curves and types of derived curves. The curves and the values of their parameters are illustrated by nearly 90 images from a CalComp digital incremental plotter. Suitable for students and researchers in geometry and computer science, the text begins by introducing general properties of curves and types of derived curves. Subsequent chapters apply these properties to conics and polynomials, cubic and quartic curves, algebraic curves of high degree, and transcendental curves. A total of more than 60 special curves are featured, each illustrated with one or more CalComp plots containing curves in up to eight different variants. Indexes provide tables of derived curves, curve names, and a 95-item guide to further reading.

    

    

    It incorporates especially complete and detailed arguments, illustrating definitions, theorems, and subtleties of proof with explicit numerical examples whenever possible. The author has organized the results and constructed the arguments in such a way as to reveal the essential structure of the subject and to impart an understanding of the various methods of proof as methods rather than tricks. Hundreds of exercises, including computer-oriented problems, are included.

    

    

    Difficult concepts are introduced gradually, and the theory is applied to physically interesting problems. After an introductory chapter on the formation of quantum mechanics, the treatment advances to examinations of the quantum theory of the free electromagnetic field, the interaction of radiation and matter, second quantization, the interaction of quantized fields, and quantum electrodynamics. Additional topics include the theory of beta decay, particles that interact among themselves, quasi particles in plasmas and metals, and the problem of infinities in quantum electrodynamics. The Appendix contains selected answers to problems that appear throughout the text.
