Introducing the neglected tradition of Scottish women's writing to readers who may already be familiar with English Victorian realism or the historical romances of Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, this book corrects male-dominated histories of the Scottish novel by demonstrating how women appropriated the masculine genre of romance.

W. B. Yeats is recognised globally as a poet; but in his Nobel address, he singled out his work in the theatre as his main accomplishment. Yeats on Theatre restores Yeats not only a playwright, but as a thinker whose understanding of theatre was in advance of his own time.

Understanding the interaction of waves with obstacles is fundamental in many areas of science and engineering. This book synthesises mathematical methods for solving such scattering problems, with an emphasis on time-dependent problems. It will be a valuable resource for applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers.

Emerging countries are increasingly concerned with improving their competitiveness and productivity. This Element develops a robust econometric methodology, based on controlling for usual unobservable effects at the firm or plant level.

An ideal tool for graduate students and researchers working in networking, communications, and signal processing.

A study into the effects of the Babylonian exile on Irsaelite and Judahite identity, using migration research, trauma studies, and postcolonial theory. This volume presents social-scientific concepts to differentiate the experiences of deportees taken to urban Babylon, rural Babylonia, and the impact this displacement had on those left in Judah.

This book provides a practical introduction to compressive imaging (with examples and code), an overview of core topics, and a comprehensive, rigorous treatment of the subject. It caters to graduate students, postdocs and faculty in mathematics, computer science, physics and engineering who want to learn about modern imaging techniques.

This is the first rigorous, self-contained treatment of the theory of deep learning. Aimed at scientists, instructors, and students interested in artificial intelligence and deep learning, it demonstrates many applications in physics, chemistry, and biomedicine. It includes a full set of exercises and encourages out-of-the-box thinking.

This book will interest students and scholars examining the complex relations between the West and the so-called Muslim world. Using a specific legal issue, the study interrogates the broad topics of international law and Islamic law, demonstrating the exceptionalisms at play that make more general human rights debates so fraught.

This upper undergraduate abstract algebra text covers classical themes on groups, rings and fields in depth, augmented with a strong emphasis on irreducible polynomials, a fresh approach to modules and linear algebra, a fresh take on Groebner theory, and a group theoretic treatment of Rejewski's deciphering of the Enigma machine.

In a world that is constantly illuminated, there is much to gain from looking into the darkness of times past. This fascinating picture of nocturnal life in the eighteenth-century Ottoman Empire reveals how night and darkness played fundamental roles in shaping the cultural, social and political landscapes of the early modern Middle East.

A collection of essays from one of the world's greatest scholars of Latin literature and Roman culture. Covers ancient epic, historiography, lyric, elegy, and drama, with a particular focus on ancient literary criticism, comparative religion, historicism and the technology of the ancient book. With a foreword by Stephen Hinds.

This Element synthesizes the current state of research on organizational learning from performance feedback and develops a new perspective that deals with the influence of multiple goals. An agenda is laid out for new empirical research on the interconnections of decision-makers, organizations, and the environment that influences performance.

This volume of the definitive edition of Charles Darwin's letters provides texts of more than 200 letters Darwin wrote and received in 1882, the year of his death, and a supplement of nearly 400 letters from earlier years, most of which have never been previously published.

This book introduces singularly perturbed methods in a self-contained manner by investigating two relatively simple but typical non-compact elliptic problems. Avoiding using too many sophisticated estimates, this book is written for PhD students and junior mathematicians who plan to do their research in the area of elliptic differential equations.

The book proposes that decolonising human rights requires historically and politically specific conceptual, empirical and theoretical investigations of rights politics. It tracks contemporary subaltern movements across India and Pakistan to show how and why marginalised groups deploy the language of rights to demand justice.

This Element will develop a counter-hegemonic narrative based on earthcare labour - or the 'forces of reproduction'. Adopting a narrative justice approach, and placing feminist political ecology right at the core of its critique of the Anthropocene storyline, this Element offers a novel contribution to the environmental humanities.

Offers researchers and teachers an introduction to clustering, which is a prominent class of unsupervised machine learning for exploring and understanding latent, non-random structure in data. A suite of widely used clustering techniques is covered, in addition to R code and real data to facilitate interaction with the concepts.

An overview of the sources of ionising radiation in the environment, the effects of these unstable atoms on humans and biota, and their use in tracing environmental processes. Discussing frameworks developed to manage exposure, it is a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers interested in radioecology and radiological protection.

A fresh look to a traditional course in chemical engineering for modern industry. Extensive use of MATLAB (R) and MAPLE supported numerous solved examples and over 240 problems. A valuable resource as a textbook or for self-study, it offers in-depth analysis of the underlying theory.

A modern treatment of the field for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry and materials science. chemistry. With over 330 problems and 400 original figures, this thorough text covers a range of materials in an accessible and integrated manner, including inorganic and organic, crystalline and amorphous, bulk and nano- materials.

This Element explores how far past wrongs can be remedied through compensatory mechanisms involving material culture. It goes beyond a critique of global heritage brokers such as UNESCO, the ICC and museums as redundant, Eurocentric and elitist to explore why these institutions have become the focus for debates about global heritage justice.

Over the past three decades research efforts and interventions have been implemented across the United States to increase the persistence of underrepresented minority students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This Element compares STEM interventions offering resources and opportunities related to mentorship, research, and more.

This Element offers a new approach to ancient Egyptian images informed by interdisciplinary work in archaeology, anthropology, and art history. Sidestepping traditional perspectives on Egyptian art, the Element focuses squarely on the ontological status of the image in ancient thought and experience.

Much has been written on Beckett and Sade, yet nothing systematic has been produced. This Element is systematic by adopting a chronological order, which is necessary given the complexity of Beckett's varying assessments of Sade.

This Element unravels the hidden networks and associations underpinning African literary publishing in the 1960s; it investigates the success of the CIA in disrupting and infiltrating African literary magazines and publishing firms, and determines the extent to which new circuits of cultural and literary power emerged.

This book introduces the reader to the mathematical core of intuitionism and to the two central topics of 'formalized intuitionism'. It proposes a systematic philosophical foundation for intuitionism that weaves together doctrines about human grasp, mathematical objects and mathematical truth.
