0521810310It is commonly argued that the international system is currently in a state of upheaval, as state sovereignty is challenged by a variety of forces. Keene's book questions this assumption, arguing that sovereignty has never existed globally in any case, and suggesting that it has applied only to Western states. International relations elsewhere have been characterized by the norms of colonialism, rather than international law. The book examines the conduct of the British and Dutch empires, and how the traditions of colonialism have been challenged in the modern world.

Deporting Our Souls: Values, Morality, and Immigration PolicyAuthor:
Bill Ong HingPages:
236Format:
pdfLanguage:
EnglishISBN10:
0521864925In the past three decades, images of undocumented immigrants pouring across the southern border have driven the immigration debate and policies have been implemented in response to those images. The Oklahoma City bombings and the tragic events of September 11, both of questionable relevance to immigration policy have provided further impetus to implement strategies that are anti-immigration in design and effect. This book discusses the major immigration policy areas - undocumented workers, the immigration selection system, deportation of aggravated felons, national security and immigration policy, and the integration of new Americans - and the author suggests his own proposals on how to address the policy challenges from a perspective that encourages us to consider the moral consequences of our decisions. The author also reviews some of the policies that have been put forth and ignored and suggests new policies that would be good for the country economically and socially.

Against BioethicsAuthor:
Jonathan BaronPages:

PDFLanguage:
EnglishISBN10:
0262025965Governments, health professionals, patients, research institutions, and research subjects look to bioethicists for guidance in making important decisions about medical treatment and research. And yet, argues Jonathan Baron in Against Bioethics, applied bioethics lacks the authority of a coherent guiding theory and is based largely on intuitive judgments. Baron proposes an alternative, arguing that bioethics could have a coherent theory based on utilitarianism and decision analysis. Utilitarianism holds that the best option is the one that does the most expected good. Decision analysis provides a way of thinking about the risks and trade-offs of specific options. Like economics, utilitarian decision analysis makes predictions of expected good in complex situations, using data when possible, and focusing human judgment on the issues relevant to consequences. With such a guiding theory, bioethics would never yield decisions that clearly go against the expected good of those involved, as some do now.Baron discusses issues in bioethics that can be illuminated by such analysis, including "enhancements" to nature in the form of genetics, drugs, and mind control; reproduction; death and end-of-life issues, including advance directives, euthanasia, and organ donation; coercion and consent; conflict of interest and the reform of internal review boards; and drug research. Although Baron opposes current practice in bioethics, he argues that by combining utilitarianism and decision analysis, bioethics can achieve its aims of providing authoritative guidance in resolving thorny medical and ethical issues.

A Man In A Kilt (Zebra Debut)
Publisher: Zebra (September 1, 2004) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0821777661 | 121 pages“ Duncan MacDougall, the laird of Blackstone, was cursed centuries ago to wander as a ghost within the echoing walls of his island castle - and only one woman can free him. Can it be the new mistress of Blackstone, just arrived from over the sea? Duncan has heard that pretty Miss Elizabeth Pudding is no more than a cook - and she hails from a barbarous land called the Bronx. But she must learn the ways of a lady all the same - and she must stay at Blackstone for six long months to inherit it. 'Tis time enough to teach her - and time enough to woo her. Duncan MacDougall is a tall, translucent figure with black hair and piercing blue eyes. Yet a mist separates him from the land of the living...a mist as strong as cold steel. It is said that only love can dissolve it - and bring the man of her dreams to warm, breathing life. ”A Rogue In A Kilt (Zebra Historical Romance)

35406432573rd edition: proofs have been streamlined, errors removed, new exercises added and the bibliography enlargeda comprehensive book on stochastic calculus, yet accessible, January 31, 2004 By A CustomerThis review is from: Continuous Martingales and Brownian Motion (Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften) (Hardcover)
I only read about 70% of the text, without essentially touching
the excercise problems. I have to confess I'm pretty much overwhelmed by the myriad topics treated in this book.From the perspective of a student, I think Revuz/Yor has the following merits:1. It covers an enormous amount of materials, systematically and
carefully. It thus provides the necessary preparation for a graduate student who's eager to get ready for research.2. Despite of its scope, this book is accessible to graduate students. By "accessible", I mean any dilligent student with certain mathematical maturity should be able to understand most of the materials in the text.
Two things about this book make possible the accessibility. First, proofs are very carefully written, and a quite few of them may even be called detailed. Second, the authors deliberately chose the "slickest" approaches to many classical results,
while preserving, even elucidating, the fundamental ideas. Examples include the construction of BM from the perspectife of Gaussian processes, the presentation of Markov processes in Chapter 3, the "global" definition of a stochastic integral, etc.
This paves the way for further study of more general cases.3. The computations displayed in this book can serve as good exercise for "basic" trainings. As the book goes on, the reader is more expected to carry out the details. And some of them, although said to be "easy" by the authors, could take some time to figure out.4. The exercise problems are wonderful. You lose half of the benefits if you don't work out a substantial amount of them.
Many of them are useful results from current research papers, or classical results from these or those "bibles". I myself
haven't done that, and that's why I feel I'm not in the position to give five stars at this moment.Here's some of my thoughts for an "easier" reading. First, because of the scope of this book, it might be a good idea to read it with real motivations, and maybe during a prolonged period of time. Otherwise you may easily get tired, esp. when you get stuck with some details the authors claim as "easy".
Second, the reading could be frustrating if you care about every detail and do them all alone. A good way would be skipping over some of the details in the first reading, and then coming back at a later time for a second reading, or even a third reading. Find freinds to form a study group would be surely helpful. But I've never had this luck.Finally, my review is just intended for fellow students. For the opinions of experts, the wonderful review of Frank Knight should be consulted. It can be accessed at MathScinet.

EnglishISBN10:
0849308615Inverse problems have been the focus of a growing number of research efforts over the last 40 years-and rightly so. The ability to determine a "cause" from an observed "effect" is a powerful one. Researchers now have at their disposal a variety of techniques for solving inverse problems, techniques that go well beyond those useful for relatively simple parameter estimation problems. The question is, where can one find a single, comprehensive resource that details these methods?The answer is the Inverse Engineering Handbook. Leading experts in inverse problems have joined forces to produce the definitive reference that allows readers to understand, implement, and benefit from a variety of problem-solving techniques. Each chapter details a method developed or refined by its contributor, who provides clear explanations, examples, and in many cases, software algorithms. The presentation begins with methods for parameter estimation, which build a bridge to boundary function estimation problems. The techniques addressed include sequential function estimation, mollification, space marching techniques, and adjoint, Monte Carlo, and gradient-based methods. Discussions also cover important experimental aspects, including experiment design and the effects of uncertain parameters.While many of the examples presented focus on heat transfer, the techniques discussed are applicable to a wide range of inverse problems. Anyone interested in inverse problems, regardless of their specialty, will find the Inverse Engineering Handbook to be a unique and invaluable compendium of up-to-date techniques.

0807085839Pearce has written a fascinating and optimistic book, we really need it in this time of gloomy predictions about the future. Demography very well may be the saving grace of the human race. Or I should say, women may save the day by choosing not to have big families. My only complaint is he doesn't look at the potential downsides of a declining and aging population - on market economies, tax bases, standards of living, etc.. and what conditions in the future could cause a reversal of increased birth rates, such as what happens during baby booms. Nothing is assured, but assuming the macro trends stay in place - globalization, urbanization, woman's liberation - the population problem, and conversely environmental and resource problems, may just have a good chance of resolving themselves with time, and we may look back on this period as an overpopulated transition to a more stable and gentle older age.
