An Introduction to Inverse Problems with Applications
Computational engineering/science uses a blend of applications, mathematical models and computations. Mathematical models require accurate approximations of their parameters, which are often viewed as solutions to inverse problems. Thus, the study of inverse problems is an integral part of computational engineering/science. This book presents several aspects of inverse problems along with needed prerequisite topics in numerical analysis and matrix algebra. If the reader has previously studied these prerequisites, then one can rapidly move to the inverse problems in chapters 4-8 on image restoration, thermal radiation, thermal characterization and heat transfer. “This text does provide a comprehensive introduction to inverse problems and fills a void in the literature”. Robert E White, Professor of Mathematics, North Carolina State University
Envisioning Brazil
Envisioning Brazil is a comprehensive and sweeping assessment of Brazilian studies in the United States. Focusing on synthesis and interpretation and assessing trends and perspectives, this reference work provides an overview of the writings on Brazil by United States scholars since 1945. "The Development of Brazilian Studies in the United States," provides an overview of Brazilian Studies in North American universities. "Perspectives from the Disciplines" surveys the various academic disciplines that cultivate Brazilian studies: Portuguese language studies, Brazilian literature, art, music, history, anthropology, Amazonian ethnology, economics, politics, and sociology. "Counterpoints: Brazilian Studies in Britain and France" places the contributions of U.S. scholars in an international perspective. "Bibliographic and Reference Sources" offers a chronology of key publications, an essay on the impact of the digital age on Brazilian sources, and a selective bibliography.
Brazil, Land of the Past: The Ideological Roots of the New Right
Brazil, Land of the Past scrutinizes the ideological roots of the so-called New Right in Brazil. The book traces the continuity and resilience of a system of thought based on the idea of a God-given hierarchical order to be defended against any social contract and modernizing relativization. It explains in detail how today a diverse movement — which includes actors ranging from the authoritarian Bolsonaro wing to economic liberals to the military to both Catholic and evangelical religious conservatives – assumes unanimously the ideas of this tradition as underlying premises of their political action. Though not always explicitly, this drives the self-declared “liberal-conservative” but rather anti-modernist reaction which claims to liberate an imaginary authentic “Brazil” from an aberrant “State” – and in so doing intends to preserve inherited privilege in an extremely unequal society.

Monetary Policy
What is Monetary Policy The policy that is adopted by the monetary authority of a nation to impact monetary and other financial conditions in order to achieve broader goals such as high employment and price stability is referred to as monetary policy. The contribution of monetary policy to economic stability and the maintenance of exchange rates that are predictable with respect to other currencies are two further aspects of monetary policy. In today's world, the majority of central banks in rich countries conduct their monetary policy within the framework of inflation targeting. On the other hand, the majority of central banks in developing countries target some type of fixed exchange rate ...
Fernando Henrique Cardoso
Provides the background essential to understanding Cardoso's struggle to complete the reforms that he believes are necessary to bring Brazil into the 21st century as a fully modern society. Drawing upon sources such as Cardoso's writings, Senate speeches, press conferences, and numerous interviews (including two with Cardoso himself), the author covers Cardoso's life and intellectual development, his university days and years in exile, his involvement in democratic politics in Brazil, and his remarkable record as president. Although Cardoso carefully read and corrected the manuscript, the author states that this is not an authorized biography and all interpretations and opinions are his own.

Crafting Coalitions for Reform
The success of political efforts to create a more open economy in Brazil over the past decade has depended crucially on support from the industrial sector, which long enjoyed the benefits of protection by the state from economic competition. Why businesses previously so sheltered would back neoliberal reform, and why opposition arose at times from sectors least threatened by free trade, are the puzzles this book seeks to answer. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with industrialists and business association representatives, as well as a wide range of other sources, Peter Kingstone argues that the key to understanding the behavior of industrialists lies in the impact of four factors ...
Stephen Klein: The Stephen Klein Story, Chapter One
WARNING: Strong language throughout! Simply a book, or to be more exact, an autobiography. Through my usage of sarcastic humor and my life story, I want to inspire you. I want to make you laugh. I want you to read this book and feel okay or at least not so alone anymore if you're going through a tough time, been through a lot, or anything in between. How's that for a description?
