Rock Deformation from Field, Experiments and Theory
Ernie Rutter has made, and continues to make, a significant impact in the field of rock deformation. He has studied brittle and plastic deformation processes that occur within both the oceanic and continental crust, as well as other key properties such as the permeability and seismic velocities of these rocks. His approach has been one that integrates field observations, laboratory experiments and theoretical analyses. This volume celebrates Ernie's key contribution to rock deformation and structural geology by bringing together a collection of papers that represent this broad approach. The papers within the volume address key issues that remain within these fields. These range from fundamental studies of brittle and plastic behaviour along with the resultant structures and microstructures from both the field and laboratory, to applied problems where a better understanding of the deformation and properties of the crust is still needed.
The Pearl of Sufism
The Pearl of Sufism offers a rich insight into the central themes and principles of Sufism which is the spiritual path of unity, love, tolerance that is centred on the heart. This book describes the function and the role of the heart for the Sufis in a literal and practical manner. For the Sufis, the heart is dwelling place of the soul, which a Sufi seeker connects to through the use of mystical rhythms. Sufism, is a spiritual path which originated during the beginning of the history of humanity. It is a living stream passing from one master to another and is connected to great prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad. This book through exploring the fascinating perspective of the ongoing line of mysticism and the teachings of Jesus offers convincing evidence which can lead to a new understanding of the roots of religion. The teachings of the book are seasoned with wisdom and compassion, and are filled with original Sufi stories, and aphorisms that one can return to again and again.

Applied Econometrics
Although the theme of the monograph is primarily related to “Applied Econometrics”, there are several theoretical contributions that are associated with empirical examples, or directions in which the novel theoretical ideas might be applied. The monograph is associated with significant and novel contributions in theoretical and applied econometrics; economics; theoretical and applied financial econometrics; quantitative finance; risk; financial modeling; portfolio management; optimal hedging strategies; theoretical and applied statistics; applied time series analysis; forecasting; applied mathematics; energy economics; energy finance; tourism research; tourism finance; agricultural economics; informatics; data mining; bibliometrics; and international rankings of journals and academics.
Resilience in the Digital Age
The growth of a global digital economy has enabled rapid communication, instantaneous movement of funds, and availability of vast amounts of information. With this come challenges such as the vulnerability of digitalized sociotechnological systems (STSs) to destructive events (earthquakes, disease events, terrorist attacks). Similar issues arise for disruptions to complex linked natural and social systems (from changing climates, evolving urban environments, etc.). This book explores new approaches to the resilience of sociotechnological and natural-social systems in a digital world of big data, extraordinary computing capacity, and rapidly developing methods of Artificial Intelligence. Most...
Causality in the Sciences
Why do ideas of how mechanisms relate to causality and probability differ so much across the sciences? Can progress in understanding the tools of causal inference in some sciences lead to progress in others? This book tackles these questions and others concerning the use of causality in the sciences.

The book emphasizes leveraging data-driven insights to optimize human capital and achieve higher returns on investment (ROI).
Transforming Noise
Today, the concept of noise is employed to characterize random fluctuations in general. Before the twentieth century, however, noise only meant disturbing sounds. In the 1900s-50s, noise underwent a conceptual transformation from unwanted sounds that needed to be domesticated into a synonym for errors and deviations to be now used as all kinds of signals and information. Transforming Noise examines the historical origin of modern attempts to understand, control, and use noise. Its history sheds light on the interactions between physics, mathematics, mechanical technology, electrical engineering, and information and data sciences in the twentieth century. This book explores the process of eng...
