Love Strong as Death
A transcription of Lucy Peel’s wonderfully readable journal was recently discovered in her descendent’s house in Norwich, England. Sent in regular installments to her transatlantic relatives, the journal presents an intimate narrative of Lucy’s Canadian sojourn with her husband, Edmund Peel, an officer on leave from the British navy. Her daily entries begin with their departure as a young, newlywed couple from the shores of England in 1833 and end with their decision to return to the comforts of home after three and a half years of hard work as pioneer settlers. Lucy Peel’s evocative diary focuses on the semi-public world of family and community in Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships,...
Transfinite Interpolation and Eulerian/Lagrangian Dynamics
This book introduces transfinite interpolation as a generalization of interpolation of data prescribed at a finite number of points to data prescribed on a geometrically structured set, such as a piece of curve, surface, or submanifold. The time-independent theory is readily extended to a moving/deforming data set whose dynamics is specified in a Eulerian or Lagrangian framework. The resulting innovative tools cover a very broad spectrum of applications in fluid mechanics, geometric optimization, and imaging. The authors chose to focus on the dynamical mesh updating in fluid mechanics and the construction of velocity fields from the boundary expression of the shape derivative. Transfinite Interpolations and Eulerian/Lagrangian Dynamics is a self-contained graduate-level text that integrates theory, applications, numerical approximations, and computational techniques. It applies transfinite interpolation methods to finite element mesh adaptation and ALE fluid-structure interaction. Specialists in applied mathematics, physics, mechanics, computational sciences, imaging sciences, and engineering will find this book of interest.
System Modeling and Optimization
This book is a collection of thoroughly refereed papers presented at the 25th IFIP TC 7 Conference on System Modeling and Optimization, held in Dresden, Germany, in September 2011. The 55 revised papers were carefully selected from numerous submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: control of distributed parameter systems; stochastic optimization and control; stabilization, feedback, and model predictive control; flow control; shape and structural optimization; and applications and control of lumped parameter systems.
The Very Witching Time of Night
The book covers unusual and often surprising areas of horror film history: (1) The harrowingly tragic life of Dracula's leading lady, Helen Chandler, as intimately remembered by her sister-in-law. (2) John Barrymore's 1931 horror vehicles Svengali and The Mad Genius, and their rejection by the public. (3) The disastrous shooting of 1933's Murders in the Zoo, perhaps the most racy of all Pre-Code horror films. (4) A candid interview with the son of legendary horror star Lionel Atwill. (5) The censorship battles of One More River, as waged by Frankenstein director James Whale. (6) The adventures (and misadventures) of Boris Karloff as a star at Warner Bros. (7) The stage and screen versions of...
Educational Interfaces between Mathematics and Industry
This book is the “Study Book” of ICMI-Study no. 20, which was run in cooperation with the International Congress on Industry and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM). The editors were the co-chairs of the study (Damlamian, Straesser) and the organiser of the Study Conference (Rodrigues). The text contains a comprehensive report on the findings of the Study Conference, original plenary presentations of the Study Conference, reports on the Working Groups and selected papers from all over world. This content was selected by the editors as especially pertinent to the study each individual chapter represents a significant contribution to current research.
The Social Origins of the Welfare State
The Social Origins of the Welfare State traces the evolution of the first universal laws for Québec families, passed during the Second World War. In this translation of her award-winning Aux origines sociales de l ́État-providence, Dominique Marshall examines the connections between political initiatives and Québécois families, in particular the way family allowances and compulsory schooling primarily benefited teenage boys who worked on family farms and girls who stayed home to help with domestic labour. She demonstrates that, while the promises of a minimum of welfare and education for all were by no means completely fulfilled, the laws helped to uncover the existence of deep family p...
