VNTL Publishers, 2001 8vo (21.5 cm), 351 pp. Laminated wrappers. The proposed monograph is devoted to development of the mathematical methods for investigation of nonlinear dynamics of free boundary problems arising in distributed media. We introduce a new approach to describe the dynamics of interfacial pattern formation. A theory of interface dynamics of free boundaries is developed for the whole class of non-equilibrium effects, which are reduced to Stefan problem. Mathematical Studies: Monograph Series. Volume 9.

VNTL Publishers, 1999 8vo (21.5 cm), 243 pp. Laminated wrappers. In the present monograph we formulate mathematical model for heat transfer in living tissue with self-regulation. Basing on the well known equivalence of the diffusion type process and random walks, we develop a certain regular procedure that enables us to average the mesoscopic equations describing heat transfer in living tissue practically over all scales of the hierarchical vascular network. The macroscopic governing equations obtained in this way describe living tissue in terms of an active medium with continuously distributed self-regulation. Mathematical Studies: Monograph Series. Volume 7

Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1969 4to (30.5 cm), front., XIII, 269 pp, 112 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the blurb: "The first systematic study of illuminations for Byzantine homilitic literature, this book demonstrates the dramatic impact of Byzantine liturgy on art. Such was the eloquence of Gregory Nazianzenus that even five hundred years after his death, lavishly illustrated manuscripts containing all of the homilies of this fourth-century Patriarch of Constantinople were still being produced. By the beginning of the eleventh century a new, abbreviated edition was widely circulated, containing 16 homilies considered most appropriate to supplement gospel lections. Of this liturgical edition 36 illustrated copies are extant. They are discussed here and listed in a catalogue raisonné. The illustrations make available several hundred miniatures hitherto inaccesable." Studies in Manuscript Illumination Series, Vol. 6.

American Psychological Association, 2019 4to (26 cm), XVII, 448 pp. Publisher's laminated boards. "This book is a primer for practitioners and researchers striving to incorporate the assessment of human strengths, resources, and fulfillment into their work. Contributors examine the scientific underpinnings and practical applications of measures of hope, optimism, self-efficacy, problem-solving, locus of control, creativity, wisdom, courage, positive emotion, self-esteem, love, emotional intelligence, empathy, attachment, forgiveness, humor, gratitude, faith, morality, coping, well-being, and quality of life. Vocational and multicultural applications of positive psychological assessment are also discussed, as is the measurement of contextual variables that may facilitate the development or enhancement of human strengths. This second edition includes a fully-updated research base, and extensive case studies that offer concrete examples of how clinical readers can use these tools in their… Read More

British Library, 2008 8vo (25 cm), 414 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "Beginning with Bede the Venerable’s account of its remarkable founding by St. Augustine, Canterbury Cathedral has long been thought of as one of the greatest literary centers of the Middle Ages. For the first time, The Earliest Books of Canterbury Cathedral presents the entirety of Canterbury’s pre-thirteenth-century volumes--illustrated in full color--including the Alfredian translation of Gregory the Great’s Dialogues, Lanfranc’s gloss on the Epistles, and an extraordinarily grand copy of Peter Comestor’s Historia scholastica. Each manuscript is accompanied by a clear description and a broad-ranging analysis that not only explains the significance of the work in general, but of the Canterbury copy in particular--benefiting scholars of literary and archival history alike. A substantial introduction on the history of book production in Kent and Canterbury prior to the thirteenth… Read More

Dover Publications, 1985 8vo (21 cm), XIV, 224 pp. Laminated wrappers (wrappers slightly creased). "In this lucid layman's introduction to quantum theory, an eminent physicist and noted popularizer of science traces the development of quantum theory from the turn of the century to about 1930 -- from Planck's seminal concept (still developing) to anti-particles, mesons, and Enrico Fermi's nuclear research. Gamow was not just a spectator at the theoretical breakthroughs which fundamentally altered our view of the universe, he was an active participant who made important contributions of his own. This "insider's" vantage point lends special validity to his careful, accessible explanations of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Niels Bohr's model of the atom, the pilot waves of Louis de Broglie and other path-breaking ideas." (from the blurb)

PHI Learning, 2015 8vo (23.5 cm), XXII, 662 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This book is intended for undergraduate students of electrical and electronics engineering, electronics and communication engineering, and electronics and instrumentation engineering. The approach of the book is to explain concepts by taking the reader from known to unknown and from simple to complex. The book includes step-by-step procedures wherever necessary to aid understanding." (publisher's synopsis)

arima publishing, 2006 8vo (23 cm), XII, 184 pp. Laminated wrappers. "When you insert a straight stick in water, you will surprisedly find that the stick appears bent. Yet, this is in fact an optical illusion resulting from the refraction of light. Nature always hides her secret with attractive veiling. This may also be true for the motion of objects. Although everything around us appears to move in a continuous and lawful way, it is in all probability that their motion is discontinuous and random in reality as the microscopic phenomena reveal. This book presents a clear exposition of the intriguing idea of random discontinuous motion and its implications for quantum theory and relativity. Once you realize that motion is actually discontinuous and random, you may finally understand the mysterious quantum world, where an electron can pass through two slits at the same time." (from the blurb)

Texas A&M University Press, 1995 4to (26 cm), XX, 693 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly sunned). This bibliography of the Mexican War holdings of the libraries at the University of Texas at Arlington is the product of more than forty years' collecting and research. As a result of his recognition that Texana collections would be incomplete without items from the period up to the ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo by Mexico in May, 1848, Jenkins Garrett began this bibliography in earnest in the 1950s, at a time when Mexican War items were not even listed as a separate category by collectors. Arranged by chapters according to topics or type of holding, the bibliography is designed to give extensive and accurate descriptive information of approximately 2,500 items of interest to scholars and collectors. Each entry thus includes full title page wording, edition information, collation, other library locations, and notes, though the bibliography is not annotated per… Read More

Syracuse University Press, 1988 8vo (23 cm), XV, 430 pp. Laminated wrappers. From the blurb: "The Other Europe is a general history of Eastern Europe, from the earliest times to the end of World War II. Walters provides an informed and interpretively refreshing focus on this key region. Walters' objective is to acquaint the student and nonspecialist reader with the complex past of this politically and culturally important area. The general lack of knowledge about Eastern Europe is in part due to the vast diversity of its lands (language barriers themselves have daunted many scholars) and to the fact that, before the imposition of the Soviet template in 1944-45, what is now called Eastern Europe was not usually perceived as a distinct geopolitical entity."The other Europe" as defined by Walters encompasses Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania. Today these countries form the strategic zone between Western Europe and the Soviet Union. Walters… Read More
