Forty-seven percent of the American people, according to a 1991 Gallup poll, believe that God made man--as man is now--in a single act of creation, and within the last ten thousand years. Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the astonishing resurgence of this belief since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled roots in the theologies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, and other religious groups. Even more remarkable than Numbers's story of today's widespread rejection of the theory of evolution is the dramatic shift from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath, and that the earth itself is not more than ten thousand years old. Numbers traces the evolution of scientific creationism and shows how the creationist movement challenges the very meaning of science.
This book provides the knowledge of the newly-established supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions with the special functions such as Mittag-Leffler, Wiman, Prabhakar, Miller-Ross, Rabotnov, Lorenzo-Hartley, Sonine, Wright and Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts functions, Gauss hypergeometric series and Clausen hypergeometric series. The special functions can be considered to represent a great many of the real-world phenomena in mathematical physics, engineering and other applied sciences. The audience benefits of new and original information and references in the areas of the special functions applied to model the complex problems with the power-law behaviors. The results are important and interesting for scientists and engineers to represent the complex phenomena arising in applied sciences therefore graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics and engineering might find this book appealing.
The study of the electrical properties of polymers constitutes a substantial fraction of the total research interest in macro molecular behavior. Because of the increasing attention now being paid to theoretical and experimental aspects of the phenomena encountered, a symposium focusing particularly on dielectric behavior was held at the l6lst National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Los Angeles, California, March, 1971. The authoritative papers in this volume were all presented at this symposium, which was sponsored by the Polymer Division of the American Chemical Society. An obvious advantage of such a collection is that it keep~ together closely related material which would ot...
Modern adhesive dentistry has numerous applications in cariology, as well as in aesthetic and pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, implantology, and orthodontics-in essence, in comprehensive dental care. This unique book addresses various ramifications of adhesion and adhesives in the broad domain of dentistry. The topics covered include testing aspects of dental materials, dentin bonding, restorations, and adhesion promotion. This book reflects the cumulative wisdom of many world-renowned researchers and provides a useful reference to anyone involved in the various aspects of dentistry.

This conference was designed to provide a non-confrontational setting for a variety of people from differing viewpoints to discuss the threats facing arid grasslands of the Southwest. Participants included ranchers and other private economists, scientists, and students. The sessions were organized around the major themes of understanding grasslands, identifying grassland issues, managing grasslands, and seeking solutions to grassland issues. Many of the sessions were in the form of panel discussions or informal presentations.
