Rubbish!
It is from the discards of former civilizations that archaeologists have reconstructed most of what we know about the past, and it is through their examination of today's garbage that William Rathje and Cullen Murphy inform us of our present. Rubbish! is their witty and erudite investigation into all aspects of the phenomenon of garbage. Rathje and Murphy show what the study of garbage tells us about a population's demographics and buying habits. Along the way, they dispel the common myths about our "garbage crisis"—about fast-food packaging and disposable diapers, about biodegradable garbage and the acceleration of the average family's garbage output. They also suggest methods for dealing with the garbage we do have.
DNA Profiling
This book explores an organic vision of company innovation, through an analogy with DNA and its four nitrogenous bases. Like all living organisms, a company has the fundamental "genetic" bases of its ability to innovate. This DNA mutates under both environmental influences and evolutionary factors allowing a company to develop new patterns of behaviour. At the dawn of the 21st century, the result of this process is the emergence of what we could call the hyperconnected company. Through this ongoing metaphor, the book provides decision-makers with several paths along which to increase their ability to innovate, taking advantage of genetic bases such as their own factors of change. The study is based on observations made of large companies, for whom innovation is an absolute imperative. It alternates theoretical analyses with concrete illustrations, and spotlights innovation leaders such as: Louis Vuitton, 3M, Bouygues Telecom, BNP Paribas, Siemens, Danone, Air Liquide, to name but a few.

Elite of the Third Reich
Until now, this essential reference book has only been available in its hard-to-find German version - Helion are pleased to announce not only a complete translation of this important source. The text lists all known recipients (over 7,000 of them), giving name, rank, unit, and date of award for each. Recipients of the higher classes of this decoration, such as the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, are also included. Elite of the Third Reich is destined to become a standard reference work on the Second World War German Armed Forces - Army, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. The publication of occasional updates is planned, containing corrections and amendments.
European Physico-Theology (1650-C. 1760) in Context
Physico-theology celebrated the observation of nature as a way toward recognising God as Creator, demonstrating the compatibility of the biblical record with new science. This is the first English-language monograph to study the impact of physico-theology on the intellectual and socio-cultural establishment in Europe from the mid-17th century.
Morocco’s Africa Policy
Since the advent of the reign of Mohammed VI in 1999, Morocco has deployed a new continental foreign policy. The Kingdom aspires to be recognized as an emerging African power in its identity as well as in its space of projection. In order to meet these ambitions, the diplomatic apparatus is developing and modernizing, while a singular role identity is emerging around the notion of the "golden mean". This study presents, on an empirical level, the conditions of the elaboration and conduct of this Africa policy, and analyzes, on a theoretical level, the evolution of the Moroccan role identity in the international system.
The Promise of Neural Networks
This book is the product of a 15-month intensive investigation of the European artificial network scene, together with a view of the broader framework of the subject in a world context. It could not have been completed in such a remarkably short time, and so effectively, without the dedicated efforts of Louise Turner, the DEANNA secretary, and Geoff Chappell, the DEANNA researcher, at the Centre for Neural Networks, King's College, London. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their heroic efforts. I would also like to thank my colleagues in the Centre and in the Mathematics Department, especially Mark Plumbley, Michael Reiss and Trevor Clarkson for all their help and encou...
