Essays on the Future
This collection represents a unique undertaking in scientific publishing to honor Nick Metropolis, the last survivor of the World War II Manhattan Project in Los Alamos. In this volume, some of the leading scientists and humanists of our time have contributed essays related to their respective disciplines, exploring various aspects of future developments in science and society, philosophy, national security, nuclear power, pure and applied mathematics, physics and biology, particle physics, computing, and information science.
The Intelligible Metropolis
Writings on the metropolis generally foreground illimitability, stressing thereby that the urban ultimately remains both illegible and unintelligible. Instead, the purpose of this interdisciplinary study is to demonstrate that mentality as a tool offers orientation in the urban realm. Nora Pleßke develops a model of urban mentality to be employed for cities worldwide. Against the background of the Spatial Turn, she identifies dominant urban-specific structures of London mentality in contemporary London novels, such as Monica Ali's »Brick Lane«, J.G. Ballard's »Millennium People«, Nick Hornby's »A Long Way Down«, and Ian McEwan's »Saturday«.
Adventures In Theoretical Physics: Selected Papers With Commentaries
During the period 1964-1972, Stephen L Adler wrote seminal papers on high energy neutrino processes, current algebras, soft pion theorems, sum rules, and perturbation theory anomalies that helped lay the foundations for our current standard model of elementary particle physics. These papers are reprinted here together with detailed historical commentaries describing how they evolved, their relation to other work in the field, and their connection to recent literature. Later important work by Dr Adler on a wide range of topics in fundamental theory, phenomenology, and numerical methods, and their related historical background, is also covered in the commentaries and reprints.This book will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the fields in which Dr Adler has worked, and for historians of science studying physics in the final third of the twentieth century, a period in which an enduring synthesis was achieved.

Metropolis
Winner of the New American Poetry Competition 1997, chosen by Bruce Andrews. The selector for the 1997 New American Poetry Competition, Bruce Andrews, writes of this exciting book of poetry: "The citya??any city, your citya??comes alive in all its maximal, flash-frame, cut 'n' paste glory in Robert Fitterman's Metropolis. Book I (1-15) launches this open-ended project, resuscitating the Long Poem tradition with a fluxy, ambient splash of border crossings, of social life way beyond the narrowly literary or the possessive lyric's 'merely personal.' Here we're 'coming down from the repro...,' with hairpin turns through a multiplicity of style, into an everyday sensory hologram, a porous yardsale of coming attractions." Robert Fitterman, with his wife, the poet Kim Rosenfield, lives and works in New York City.
Statistical Computing with R
Computational statistics and statistical computing are two areas that employ computational, graphical, and numerical approaches to solve statistical problems, making the versatile R language an ideal computing environment for these fields. One of the first books on these topics to feature R, Statistical Computing with R covers the traditional core material of computational statistics, with an emphasis on using the R language via an examples-based approach. Suitable for an introductory course in computational statistics or for self-study, it includes R code for all examples and R notes to help explain the R programming concepts. After an overview of computational statistics and an introductio...
Metropolis, 16-29
Poetry. "In this unsentimental good-riddance to the city of Walter Benjamin, Fitterman assumes the role of the new flaneur, virtually ambling through the harrowingly dislocated psychographic landscape of the new metropolis. The once-glorious walls of the arcades have crumbled, leaving us only miles of aisles and infinite portals"--Kenneth Goldsmith. METROPOLIS 16-29 is the second installation in Fitterman's version of the modern project: the Temple built from memory, the city built from words. And since we're cruising here, the language is largely about food and anxiety, desire and escape. "your organization's top priorities. Why is the window of a jail / the toughest challenge you currently face in your job?"
