Research in recent years has highlighted the deep connections between the algebraic, geometric, and analytic structures of a discrete group. New methods and ideas have resulted in an exciting field, with many opportunities for new researchers. This book is an introduction to the area from a modern vantage point. It incorporates the main basics, such as Kesten's amenability criterion, Coulhon and Saloff-Coste inequality, random walk entropy and bounded harmonic functions, the Choquet–Deny Theorem, the Milnor–Wolf Theorem, and a complete proof of Gromov's Theorem on polynomial growth groups. The book is especially appropriate for young researchers, and those new to the field, accessible even to graduate students. An abundance of examples, exercises, and solutions encourage self-reflection and the internalization of the concepts introduced. The author also points to open problems and possibilities for further research.
Bathing beauty Esther Williams, bombshell Jane Russell, exotic Carmen Miranda, chanteuse Lena Horne, and talk-show fixture Zsa Zsa Gabor are rarely hailed as great actors or as naturalistic performers. Those terms of praise are given to male stars like Marlon Brando and James Dean, whose gritty dramas are seen as a departure from the glossy spectacles in which these stars appeared. Like a Natural Woman challenges those assumptions, revealing the skill and training that went into the work of these five actresses, who employed naturalistic performance techniques, both onscreen and off. Bringing a fresh perspective to film history through the lens of performance studies, Kirsten Pullen explores...
Now in 24 languages. Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma... Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

"Sä oot just niin kuin isäs." Hurja dokumenttiromaani addiktioista, hyvän elämän etsimisestä ja epäselvissä oloissa kuolleen isän salaisuudesta. Kolmikymppinen Ville elää unelmaelämää: työpaikka, rakkaus, ystävät, kaikki on täydellistä. Mutta kuin tatuointina sielussa häntä vaivaa nuorena kuollut isä Pete. Ville kuulee näyttävänsä isältään, liikkuvansa samalla tavalla. Onko hänen kohtalonaan kuitenkin seurata geenejään? Hän lähtee selvittämään kuka Pete itse asiassa oli. Matkasta tulee uskomattoman taitava essee, dokumentti ja romaani, sukellus ihmisyyteen, päihteisiin, Simpsoneihin, white trashiin, Kurt Cobainin mieleen, perhesuhteisiin ja siihen, keitä me itse asiassa olemme. Ville Verkkapuro on helsinkiläistynyt kirjoittaja ja muusikko, joka työskentelee copywriterina ja on soittanut muun muassa New Ron, Vestan ja Black Metal Raccoonsin kanssa. Pete on hänen esikoiskirjansa.
