After several decades spent in astronomical semi-obscurity, the Moon has of late suddenly emerged as an object of considerable interest to students of astronomy as well as of other branches of natural science and technology;

This book is the first to explore in detail the systematics and taxonomy of the digenean fauna of fish in Indian marine waters. Keys to families, genera and species are provided, except for a few large and controversial genera, where morphological characters are insufficient for identification.

Climb a mountain and experience the landscape. Understanding the different perspectives on the landscapes and bringing them together is essential in transdisciplinary approaches where the landscape is the integrating concept.

This book discusses critical privacy and data protection aspects of biometric systems from a legal perspective, offering a systematic analysis of the many issues raised by these systems, along with recommendations for a transnational regulatory framework.

Part III addresses experimental studies of cooperation and competition, as well as controversial ideas such as the evolution of evolvability and Stephen Jay Gould's suggestion that "spandrels" at one level of selection serve as possible sources of variability for the next higher level.

This book provides a concise, yet comprehensive overview of the many facets relating to human health risk assessments in relation to chemical exposure problems.

This book describes a relativistic quantum theory developed by the author starting from the E.C.G. This theory is able to provide solutions for some of the fundamental problems encountered in early attempts to construct a relativistic quantum theory.

This book presents a historical and scientific analysis as historical epistemology of the science of weights and mechanics in the sixteenth century, particularly as developed by Tartaglia in his Quesiti et inventioni diverse, Book VII and Book VIII (1546;

Volume II of this work examines fracture mechanics and damage, contact mechanics, friction and wear, linking active mechanisms on the microscopic scale with the laws of macroscopic behaviour. Includes numerous explanatory diagrams and illustrations.

This book uses the spiral shape as a key to a multitude of strange and seemingly disparate stories about art, nature, science, mathematics, and the human endeavour.

This History has its origin in a suggestion, made in September 1990 by former IAU General Secretary Derek McNally, who felt "that a 75 year history of the Union was needed before the col lective memory of those who knew the Union before the Second World War vanished.

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Conversion of Former BTW Facilities: Development & Production of Prophylactic, Diagnostic & Therapeutic Measures for Countering Diseases, Budapest, Hungary, 5-9 November 1997

There are many excellent books on quantum theory from which one can learn to compute energy levels, transition rates, cross sections, etc. The purpose of this book is to clarify the conceptual meaning of quantum theory, and to explain some of the mathematical methods which it utilizes.

Employing her original concept of the ontopoiesis of life, the author uncovers the intrinsic law of the primogenital logos - that which operates in the working of the indivisible dyad of impetus and equipoise.
