A celebration of the American trial as a great cultural achievement, this work explores how these legal proceedings bring about justice. It reminds us that the trial is not confined to the impartial application of legal rules to factual findings. It explores the narrative structure of the trial, beginning with the lawyers' opening statements.

Inverse theory concerns the mathematical techniques that enable researchers to use the available information to build a model of the unknown system or to determine its essential properties. This book aims to provide a systematic development of inverse theory at the graduate and professional level. It is illustrated with examples from geophysics.

Presents a conceptual and statistical framework for understanding the evolution of reproductive strategies. Using the concept of the opportunity for sexual selection, this book illustrates how and why sexual selection, though restricted to one sex and opposed in the other, is one of the strongest and fastest of all evolutionary forces.

The author introduced the concept of a "local system" on P1-{a finite set of points} nearly 140 years ago. His idea was to study nth order linear differential equations by studying the rank n local systems (of local holomorphic solutions) to which they gave rise.

"First published in French, under the title 'Quatre-vingt-neuf, ' in 1939 under the auspices of the Institute for the History of the French Revolution, University of Paris, in conjunction with the National Committee for the Celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the French Revolution"--Colophon.

Historians of the European Jewish experience have long marginalized the intellectual achievement of Jews in England, where it was assumed no seminal figures contributed to the development of modern Jewish thought. This title depicts the challenge of defining a religious identity in the modern age.

Offers an account of the 3-manifold invariants arising from the original Jones polynomial. This book contains the methods that are based on a recoupling theory for the Temperley-Lieb algebra. The appendices include information about gems, examples of distinct manifolds with the same invariants, and applications to the Turaev-Viro invariant.

Challenges that belief that "democracies don't fight each other" '. This book shows that, while democracies were less likely than other states to engage each other in armed conflicts between 1945 and 1980, they were just as likely to do so as were other states before 1914.

Analyzes how parasites shape the biology of social insects: the ants, wasps, bees, and termites. This book places the issues such as division of labor, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology in a common framework to examine two of the most successful adaptations of life: parasitism and sociality.

A study of the primitive and unconscious aspects of man's nature and the processes by which their energies may contribute to the integration of personality.

Presenting a fresh view of the motives behind various governments' decisions to remain on or defect from the gold standard in the early 20th century, this study specifically analyzes the influence of domestic politics on national responses to the international economy.

Providing an introduction to parasitoid natural history and taxonomy, this book asks how a consideration of evolutionary biology can help us understand the behavior, ecology, and diversity of the approximately one to two million species of parasitoid found on earth. It also discusses the theoretical background to the subject.

"The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture and Literature".

Treats one of the central problems in evolutionary biology, the evolution of social cooperation and conflict. This book tackles the problem with an original combination of approaches: game theory, classical models of natural selection, quantitative genetics, and kin selection.

A study of the properties of manysided figures and their ability to deform, twist, and stretch without changing their shape. It offers an in-depth introduction to the field, providing explanations of what would today be considered the basic tools of algebraic topology.
