Introduction to Computational Social Science
This reader-friendly textbook is the first work of its kind to provide a unified Introduction to Computational Social Science (CSS). Four distinct methodological approaches are examined in detail, namely automated social information extraction, social network analysis, social complexity theory and social simulation modeling. The coverage of these approaches is supported by a discussion of the historical context, as well as by a list of texts for further reading. Features: highlights the main theories of the CSS paradigm as causal explanatory frameworks that shed new light on the nature of human and social dynamics; explains how to distinguish and analyze the different levels of analysis of social complexity using computational approaches; discusses a number of methodological tools; presents the main classes of entities, objects and relations common to the computational analysis of social complexity; examines the interdisciplinary integration of knowledge in the context of social phenomena.
Environmental Geochemistry
Environmental Geochemistry: Site Characterization, Data Analysis, Case Histories, and Associated Health Issues provides a wealth of information on modern geochemical methods, techniques, and procedures for those studying toxic substances found in soil, air, and water. This new edition takes an especially close look at environmental pollution and its impact on human health. The first third of the book looks at a variety of methods and procedures, such as taking groundwater samples, biological monitoring, geochemical mapping, and models of geochemical speciation. This is followed by a close look at different pollutants, including lead and pesticides. The authors conclude with several detailed ...
A Light From Zion
How did Israel rise in just a few decades from a tiny, struggling country with a third-world economy to a highly developed technological and economic powerhouse? In A Light from Zion, Yossi Ives provides a unique window into how Israel solved many of its most difficult problems through striking innovations in fields including agriculture, environment, healthcare, disaster relief, water purification, and business. By sharing its expertise with developing countries all over the world, Israel has helped millions of people overcome the challenges they face in their efforts to develop and modernize, thereby fulfilling its mission to be a light unto the nations.
Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure
Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure: Neodeterministic (NDSHA) Approach Guarantees Prevention Rather Than Cure communicates in one comprehensive volume the state-of-the-art scientific knowledge on earthquakes and related risks. Earthquakes occur in a seemingly random way and, in some cases, it is possible to trace seismicity back to the concept of deterministic chaos. Therefore, seismicity can be explained by a deterministic mechanism that arises as a result of various convection movements in the Earth's mantle, expressed in the modern movement of lithospheric plates fueled by tidal forces. Consequently, to move from a perspective focused on the response to emergencies to a new perspec...
The Judaic Nature of Israeli Theatre
Theatre has, since the time of the Jewish Enlightenment, served the secular community in its conflict with the religious. This book surveys the secular-religious rift and then describes the enhanced concern of the secular community in Israel for its own Jewishness and its expression in the theatre - especially following the 1967 War. It then moves on to a specific study of the play Bruira and finally reviews the phenomenon of the return to Orthodox Judaism by secular individuals.

Guerreros
El eminente historiador militar sir Max Hastings escoge en este estimulante e inspirador relato las vidas de dieciséis "guerreros" de diferente extracción social y nacionalidad de los últimos tres siglos, de sde las Guerras Napoleónicas a los Altos del Golán, pasando por las guerras mundiales o Vietnam, seleccionados por su coraje o su extraordinaria experiencia bélica. En el curso de cuatro décadas escribiendo sobre la guerra, Max Hastings ha desarrollado una fascinación por las hazañas en los campos de batalla (en tierra, mar o aire) y, por supuesto, por los militares que las protagonizaron. Para ello aborda las biografías de soldados icónicos como el general y escritor napoleó...
The Scope of Tolerance
