Circular Cities
With cities striving to meet sustainable development goals, circular urban systems are gaining momentum, especially in Europe. This research-based book defines the circular city and circular development. It explains the shift in focus from a purely economic concept, which promotes circular business models in cities, to one that explores a new approach to urban development. This approach offers huge opportunities and addresses important sustainability issues: resource consumption and waste; climate change; the health of urban populations; social inequalities and the creation of sustainable urban economies. It examines the different approaches to circular development, drawing on research condu...
Discrete Painlevé Equations
Discrete Painlevé equations are nonlinear difference equations, which arise from translations on crystallographic lattices. The deceptive simplicity of this statement hides immensely rich mathematical properties, connecting dynamical systems, algebraic geometry, Coxeter groups, topology, special functions theory, and mathematical physics. This book necessarily starts with introductory material to give the reader an accessible entry point to this vast subject matter. It is based on lectures that the author presented as principal lecturer at a Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences and National Science Foundation conference in Texas in 2016. Instead of technical theorems or complete proofs, the book relies on providing essential points of many arguments through explicit examples, with the hope that they will be useful for applied mathematicians and physicists.
Doing Qualitative Research
Designed to stimulate interest in qualitative research methods related to primary clinical care and to prepare practitioners to engage in it. Expands existing approaches, ways of knowing, and types of research relationships at levels from the global through community, family, individual, organ, and cell to genome; also recognizes recursive interaction between and among the levels. Distinguishes four dimensions of investigation: what the numbers are, what the words mean, who benefits, and what the consequences are. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
The Art of Fiction
Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." This eBook contains 13 essays on The Art of Fiction by Virginia Woolf: The Narrow Bridge of Art. Hours in a Library. Impassioned Prose. Life and the Novelist. On Rereading Meredith. The Anatomy of Fiction. Gothic Romance. The Supernatural in Fiction. Henry James's Ghost Stories. A Terribly Sensitive Mind. Women and Fiction. An Essay in Criticism. Phases of Fiction.

On the Trail
This book is chiefly addressed to the young reader. The idea in writing the stories was to interest young people in the romance and poetry of hunting, to awaken in them a thirst for roaming about our vast country with knapsack and gun.
Felidae on the Road
`The first text to systematically address the learning needs of post-qualifying child care social workers. Soundly organized and engagingly written with useful summaries and reflective exercises for students, it is a very fine text that will be widely used' - Nick Pike, Principal Lecturer in Social Work, University of Gloucestershire This textbook provides an overview of the Post Qualifying Child Care Award in social work. Written in response to recent policy and training guidelines, it provides the underpinning knowledge for candidates following the Post Qualifying curriculum. It helps child care social workers acquire and develop the breadth of knowledge and understanding that characterise...
Northern California Symplectic Geometry Seminar
The 12 papers are from various meeting of the seminar, which has met regularly since 1989. They discuss the quantization of symplectic orbitfolds and group actions; Hamiltonian dynamical systems without period orbits; the stabilization of symplectic inequalities and applications; Engel deformations and contact structures; quantum products for mapping tori and the Atiya-Floer conjecture; the cohomology rings of Hamiltonian T-spaces; symmetric spaces, Kahler geometry, and Hamiltonian dynamics; the mirror formula for quintic threefolds; the virtual moduli cycle; Floer homology, Novikov rings, and complete intersections; surgery, quantum cohomology, and birational geometry; and group symplectic automorphisms. They are not indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
Feature Papers ”Age-Friendly Cities & Communities: State of the Art and Future Perspectives”
The "Age-Friendly Cities & Communities: States of the Art and Future Perspectives" publication presents contemporary, innovative, and insightful narratives, debates, and frameworks based on an international collection of papers from scholars spanning the fields of gerontology, social sciences, architecture, computer science, and gerontechnology. This extensive collection of papers aims to move the narrative and debates forward in this interdisciplinary field of age-friendly cities and communities.
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar
This open access book focuses on the practical application of electromagnetic polarimetry principles in Earth remote sensing with an educational purpose. In the last decade, the operations from fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar such as the Japanese ALOS/PalSAR, the Canadian Radarsat-2 and the German TerraSAR-X and their easy data access for scientific use have developed further the research and data applications at L,C and X band. As a consequence, the wider distribution of polarimetric data sets across the remote sensing community boosted activity and development in polarimetric SAR applications, also in view of future missions. Numerous experiments with real data from spaceborne platforms are shown, with the aim of giving an up-to-date and complete treatment of the unique benefits of fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data in five different domains: forest, agriculture, cryosphere, urban and oceans.
