Years of collective political science research has fueled the stereotype of the uninformed or illogical American voter who ardently supports parties or candidates but lacks any cohesive ideological reasons for doing so. This Element makes the case for more careful and nuanced assessments of ideological thinking in the American electorate.

In this Element, the authors write about the everyday production and experiences of banal inequality. Through a series of sections, each comprising of a blogpost written for Disruptive Inequalities, it shares, and confronts, the ways we fabricate stories and use writing to resist.

This Element shows how New Religious Movements variously conceptualize science and provides with an overview of the scholarly conversation. It does so by analysing the different ways, five movements (Dianetics/Scientology, the Raelian Movement, Falun Gong, Stella Azzurra and Bambini di Satana) include references to science in their doctrines.

A clinically tested treatment protocol for Functional Abdominal Pain in young children.

Explains how the ideas of nationalist economists and policy makers have shaped the world economy for more than two centuries. This global history shows how nationalists have built transnational networks to disseminate their creed, exploiting inequality, financial crises and ethnic divisions to form the basis for powerful political movements.

A better understanding of the mechanisms leading a fluid system to exhibit turbulent behavior is one of the grand challenges of the physical and mathematical sciences. Over the last few decades, numerical bifurcation methods have been extended and applied to a number of flow problems to identify critical conditions for fluid instabilities to occur. This book provides a state-of-the-art account of these numerical methods, with much attention to modern linear systems solvers and generalized eigenvalue solvers. These methods also have a broad applicability in industrial, environmental and astrophysical flows. The book is a must-have reference for anyone working in scientific fields where fluid flow instabilities play a role. Exercises at the end of each chapter and Python code for the bifurcation analysis of canonical fluid flow problems provide practice material to get to grips with the methods and concepts presented in the book.

This detailed introduction to cubic hypersurfaces and all the techniques needed to study them leads the reader from classical topics to recent developments studying four-dimensional cubic hypersurfaces. With exercises and careful references to the wider literature, this is an ideal text for graduate students and researchers in algebraic geometry.

This Element reviews and synthesizes the research on economic methods for evaluating regulations that improve air quality, save energy, and reduce climate risks. It also offers perspective on the relevance and limitations of current research for applied benefit-cost analysis. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Causal inference and machine learning are typically introduced in the social sciences separately as theoretically distinct methodological traditions. This Element provides theoretical and practical introductions to machine learning for social scientists interested in applying such methods to experimental data.

With evidence from the oral histories of various sections and a wide variety of written sources and historical documents, this book captures an intense moment in the history of the state of Hyderabad and the production its own tools of cultural renaissance and modernity.

Engages with the theme of sovereignty and law, particularly in the light of public order issues essential to any study of modern India. The enactment of extraordinary legislation is examined in the socio-political context in which it emerges.

This book is a novel synthesis of the philosophy and practice of science, covering its diverse theoretical, metaphysical, logical, philosophical, sociological, and practical elements. Students, philosophers and practicing scientists will learn how to think more deeply and holistically about their work, i.e., how to know how to know.

This Element addresses the questions on division of labor and concentration of authority by examining multilevel governance in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), with a focus on the policy domains of peace and security and human rights. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book speaks to debates in law, constitutionalism, and the making of political identity in modern India. It demonstrates the way the Constitution of independent India draws on and entrenches colonial and communal forms of identifying the Indian people. In turn this undermines the liberal aspirations of the Indian Constitution.

This book examines the influence of business groups following democratic transitions in Egypt and Tunisia. Employing interviews and quantitative surveys, the book helps the reader understand why crony capitalism endured even democratic uprisings and how businesses became a prop to authoritarian leaders bent on undermining democracy.

This Element presents a broad and revisionist analysis of early Tang China's relations with the rest of the Eurasian world and argues that idealizing the Tang as exceptionally "cosmopolitan" limits our ability to think both critically and globally about its actions and policies as an empire.

This book is a critical study of the mystical poetry of one of Kashmi's greatest Sufis - Nund Rishi. It analyses his poetry as a form of 'negative theology'. This volume will be of value to those interested in poetry, South Asian literature, Kashmir, Sufism and bhakti.

This book provides a lucid introduction to the basic ideas of quantum mechanics. Meant for undergraduate and graduate physics students, it contains discussions on advanced topics that will be beneficial for researchers also. The text is designed according to the syllabi followed in major Indian universities. Chapters are designed to provide an equal emphasis to physical as well as mathematical significance of concepts. The text is divided in four parts. The first part introduces concepts of formalism and includes topics, namely wave-particle duality, state vectors, and symmetry. The second part comprises discussions on exactly solvable problems. This is followed by the third part which deals with various approximation techniques including degenerate and non-degenerate perturbation theory, WKB approximation, and Born approximation. The fourth part of this book deals with advanced topics like permutation symmetry, Dirac particle in a central potential, and EPR paradox.

The book shifts our focus to the studies of nationalism by examining the relationship between orality and nationalism. It expands our understanding of not only Mizo nationalism but also informs us of the role of ordinary people in shaping nationalist ideas and imagination.

A concise introduction to the concept of species, discussing its complexity, use and importance in biology, philosophy, ethics, policymaking and conservation.
