Presents the principles, theory, methods, and applications of landscape ecology and is supplemented by numerous examples and case studies from a variety of systems.

An Invitation to Computational Homotopy is an introduction to elementary algebraic topology for those with an interest in computers and computer programming. It expertly illustrates how the basics of the subject can be implemented on a computer through its focus on fully-worked examples designed to develop problem solving techniques.

This book covers all the major components of modern evolutionary genetics including population genetics, molecular evolution, speciation, organismal evolution, and phylogenetics.

This is a comprehensively revised and updated fifth edition of the definitive history of the development of the common law in England.

Bad Language is the first textbook on an emerging area in the study of language: non-idealized language use, the linguistic behaviour of people who exploit language for malign purposes. This lively, accessible introduction offers theoretical frameworks for thinking about such topics as lies and bullshit, slurs and insults, coercion and silencing.

Computers and Society explores the history and impact of modern technology on everyday human life, considering its benefits, drawbacks, and repercussions. Particular attention is paid to new developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the issues that have arisen from our complex relationship with AI.

This book examines the semantics of comparative constructions using words such as more, as, too, and so on, and proposes a new account that rejects a fundamental assumption of the degree semantics framework. The findings have implications not only for semantics but also for language acquisition and cognitive science more broadly.

This book discusses aerobic metabolism at all levels, from the gas exchange organs to mitochondria including aspects of morphology and physiology as well as the control of breathing in the central nervous system.

A contemporary textbook in the field of electromagnetism. Not only is it comprehensive in its coverage of undergraduate material on electrodynamics, but the textboook includes some advanced topics in applied physics, such as fusions plasmas, stellar magnetism and planetary dynamos.

The book examines the law and politics of rights protection in democracies, and in human rights regimes in Europe, the Americas, and Africa.

Provides an accessible introduction to cave and subterranean biology and covers a range of biological processes including ecosystem function, evolution and adaptation, community ecology, biogeography, and conservation.

Highlights the importance of mitonuclear coadaptation to the evolution of complex life and in so doing will help to establish mitonuclear ecology as an important subdiscipline in ecology and evolution.

This new edition of Cooperative Strategy provides a comprehensive view of the practical and theoretical literature concerning cooperative strategies, and the alliance and network organizational forms that are the enablers of these strategies.

When Nell finds a tiny chick, her new friendship is the trigger for a dreamlike journey into the imaginative realm of the circus. Nell helps to prepare the tent, eats with a circus family in their caravan, and even performs with them in the show!

This volume introduces- and argues for the fundamental importance of- an interpretive approach to explaining social and political reality.

Written by leading experts in the field, two of whom have actively contributed to Fortran 2018, Modern Fortran Explained is a complete and authoritative description of Fortran in its latest form

This textbook on optics introduces key concepts of wave optics and light propagation. The book highlights topics in contemporary optics such as propagation, dispersion and apodisation. The principles are applied through worked examples, and the book is copiously illustrated with more than 240 figures and 200 end-of-chapter exercises.

Forgetful Remembrance offers a new approach to the study of memory by focusing on vernacular historiographies and the notion of forgetting. Using the 1798 Irish Rebellion, Beiner explores how communities try to obscure inconvenient and uncomfortable events from the past.

A wide-ranging study of sexual dissidence which returns to the early modern period in order to focus, question, and develop issues of postmodernity, linking writers as diverse as Shakespeare, Gide, Wilde, and Genet, and cultural critics as different as St. Augustine, Freud, Fanon, Foucault, and Monique Wittig.

This text reduces the complexity of the coverage of optics to allow students with elementary calculus to learn the principles of optics and modern Fourier theory of diffraction and imaging. Each chapter offers simple examples from real engineering problems and includes current topics in imaging such as optical coherence tomography and fiber optics.

Recent groundbreaking discoveries in physics have relied on chi-squared analysis and model testing. This is the first book to make this data analysis method accessible to students in introductory physics lab courses and others who need to learn this method, such as beginning researchers in astrophysics and beginners in data science.

Multivariable Calculus is an introductory textbook in the field of multivariable calculus, which utilises interactive 3D graphing software to develop students' understanding.

Reassess medieval literature and the relationship between writers and power in England by arguing that major works commissioned by or written for a succession of Lancastrians-Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Prince Edward-reveal that John Gower, Thomas Hoccleve, John Lydgate, and John Fortescue were not propagandists.

This new edition of Hugh Thirlway's Sources of International Law provides an ideal introduction for anyone needing to better understand where international law comes from. It looks at modern and controversial sources, as well as the traditional areas of treaties and custom.

Focusing on when Shakespeare's characters speak, rather than what they say, this book investigates what it means for them to speak in or out of turn, to interrupt or overlap, or to fail to speak at all, and how it informs debates about editing, rhetoric, prosody, and early modern performance practices.

Provides a coherent overview of the theory of single population dynamics, discussing concepts such as population variability, population stability, population viability/persistence, and harvest yield while later chapters address specific applications to conservation and management.

This textbook for upper-level undergraduates covers the fundamentals and incorporates key themes of quantum physics. Major themes include boson condensation and fermion exclusivity, entanglement, quantum field theory, measurement precision set by quantum mechanics, and topology.

A scholarly edition of poems by Robert Herrick. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.

Presents a synthetic overview of the evolutionary biology of species, incorporating their nature, origins, proliferation, and consequences.
