Mind Over Matter: The Power of Emotional Intelligence
Mind over Matter: The Power of Emotional Intelligence” expands on the nature of Emotional Intelligence, which involves better self-awareness of our emotions, those of others and restrain our emotions so that we can optimize our relationship strategies. It is when we are under stress that we revert to behaviors that protect our emotional well-being, and while these reactions can serve us well- as adults they frequently no longer do so. Emotions are an integral part of who we are. With Emotional Intelligence we are able to take back control of our emotions and thinking –rather than be their prisoner - and in this way we will improve our relationships. It is an empowering and timely book that adds value to our lives, and allows us to act in ways that matter- even when no-one is looking- because this defines who we are.
Invincible Summer
Ann J. Polya constantly looks for novel and challenging life choices, which are vital for an Invincible Summer. This is her third non-fiction book that draws on her varied life experiences as psychotherapist, coach, professor, and senior corporate executive, and former spokesperson in government. She has lived and worked in France, Belgium, UK, Japan, and the USA. Born in Great Britain, she now lives in Florida.

Notions of Positivity and the Geometry of Polynomials
The book consists of solicited articles from a select group of mathematicians and physicists working at the interface between positivity and the geometry, combinatorics or analysis of polynomials of one or several variables. It is dedicated to the memory of Julius Borcea (1968-2009), a distinguished mathematician, Professor at the University of Stockholm. With his extremely original contributions and broad vision, his impact on the topics of the planned volume cannot be underestimated. All contributors knew or have exchanged ideas with Dr. Borcea, and their articles reflect, at least partially, his heritage.
A Mathematician's Lament
"One of the best critiques of current mathematics education I have ever seen."--Keith Devlin, math columnist on NPR's Morning Edition A brilliant research mathematician who has devoted his career to teaching kids reveals math to be creative and beautiful and rejects standard anxiety-producing teaching methods. Witty and accessible, Paul Lockhart's controversial approach will provoke spirited debate among educators and parents alike and it will alter the way we think about math forever. Paul Lockhart, has taught mathematics at Brown University and UC Santa Cruz. Since 2000, he has dedicated himself to K-12 level students at St. Ann's School in Brooklyn, New York.
A Book of Open Shop Scheduling
This book provides an in-depth presentation of algorithms for and complexity of open shop scheduling. Open shops allow operations of a job to be executed in any order, contrary to flow and job shops where the order is pre-specified. The author brings the field up to date with more emphasis on new and recent results, and connections with graph edge coloring and mathematical programming. The book explores applications to production and operations management, wireless network scheduling, and timetabling. The book is addressed to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in Operations Research, Operations Management, computer science and mathematics, who are developing and using mathematical approaches to applications in manufacturing, services and distributed wireless network scheduling.
Mathematicians Fleeing from Nazi Germany
The emigration of mathematicians from Europe during the Nazi era signaled an irrevocable and important historical shift for the international mathematics world. Mathematicians Fleeing from Nazi Germany is the first thoroughly documented account of this exodus. In this greatly expanded translation of the 1998 German edition, Reinhard Siegmund-Schultze describes the flight of more than 140 mathematicians, their reasons for leaving, the political and economic issues involved, the reception of these emigrants by various countries, and the emigrants' continuing contributions to mathematics. The influx of these brilliant thinkers to other nations profoundly reconfigured the mathematics world and v...
Normal Surface Singularities
This monograph provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of complex normal surface singularities, with a special emphasis on connections to low-dimensional topology. In this way, it unites the analytic approach with the more recent topological one, combining their tools and methods. In the first chapters, the book sets out the foundations of the theory of normal surface singularities. This includes a comprehensive presentation of the properties of the link (as an oriented 3-manifold) and of the invariants associated with a resolution, combined with the structure and special properties of the line bundles defined on a resolution. A recurring theme is the comparison of analytic and t...
Shape Optimization
This book investigates how domain dependent quantities from geometry and physics behave when the domain is perturbed. Of particular interest are volume- and perimeter-preserving perturbations. The first and second derivatives with respect to the perturbation are exploited for domain functionals like eigenvalues, energies and geometrical quantities. They provide necessary conditions for optimal domains and are useful when global approaches like symmetrizations fail. The book is exampledriven and illustrates the usefulness of domain variations in various applications.
