    Terrorism has become one of the central security concerns of our time, presenting governments and citizens alike with a variety of policy and public safety challenges. Yet the subject also presents intellectual and pedagogic challenges for those seeking to study and understand it. Adequately comprehending terrorism requires an inherently multi-disciplinary approach that often does not fit neatly into existing academic disciplines; even when taught through the lens of a particular discipline, such as criminology or political science, it is still necessary for students to engage with a broad array of concepts from behavioral science and humanities fields as diverse as psychology, history, economics, communications, and anthropology. Moreover, as a highly dynamic and protean phenomenon at the forefront of public policy, new concepts and concerns arise regularly, thus necessitating pedagogic materials that keep pace with the latest incarnations of terrorism. To cite just two pertinent examples, merely a decade ago, topics like "homegrown radicalization" and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) did not even exist in the academic or policy lexicon surrounding terrorism; furthermore, these topics, which today are central to understanding the terrorist threat, require knowledge and theories from psychology and chemistry, both of which are beyond the disciplines most commonly associated with terrorism studies, namely criminology, political science, international relations, and history.Unfortunately, extant texts for undergraduates in terrorism-related classes have not adequately met these challenges. First, the vast majority of current texts used in terrorism courses are not true textbooks (see detailed exposition below), but are rather edited volumes or in-depth narratives. With respect to terrorism studies, at least, these are less suitable as introductions for an undergraduate audience because they tend by their nature to focus on only limited aspects of what is a wide-ranging topic and thereby leave gaps that can impair the development of the necessary instructional foundation. Second, many of the (especially older) texts do not reflect the most current subtopics or research in terrorism, since both the phenomenon itself and scholarship thereon have evolved rapidly in the past decade. Third, existing texts tend to place most of their emphasis on a single facet of terrorism (such as its historical development), with negligible attention paid to equally important aspects (such as the sociological context of radicalization) and thereby lack the balanced approach needed for an introductory text on the subject.Courses on terrorism offered at the undergraduate level have proliferated since 9/11, as well as undergraduate programs of study (including majors, minors, and certificate courses). However, there are few textbooks written for undergraduates that provide good empirical and theoretical foundations for the study of terrorism. The proposed textbook would be more broadly interdisciplinary in scope than existing texts on the market, but at the same time would be configured to satisfy the disciplinary requirements of all of these disciplines.

    Handbook of Natural ColorantsSecond EditionA detailed survey of a variety of natural colorants and their different applications including textiles, polymers, and cosmeticsColorants describe a wide range of materials such as dyes, pigments, inks, paint, or chemicals, which are used in small quantities but play an important role in many products such as textiles, polymers, food, and cosmetics. As the effects of climate change begin to be felt, there has been a shift in focus in the field to renewable resources and sustainability, and an interest in the replacement of oil-based products with greener substitutions. As the push to adopt natural resources grows, there have been significant developments in the research and application of natural colorants as a step in the transition to a bio-based economy.The second edition of Handbook of Natural Colorants provides a detailed introduction to natural colorants in a marriage of theory and practice, from seed of plant to consumer demand. Presenting a wide range of viewpoints, the book briefly discusses the history of coloration technology and the current position of natural colorants before highlighting detailed information on regional plant source availability, colorant production and properties, as well as analytical methods for isolation, identification, and toxicity aspects. It also presents key applications in technical use and consumer products, including the use of natural colorants in textiles, hair dyeing, printing, and packaging. Finally, the text considers environmental and economic aspects of natural colorants.Handbook of Natural Colorants is a useful reference for dyers, textile producers, and researchers in the evolving field of sustainable chemistry, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, and polymer sciences.* Revised and updated content throughout to reflect developments in research and applications over the past decade* New content on biotechnology in natural colorant production, natural colorants for mass coloration polymers, natural colorants in printing/packaging, and plant-based pigments* Discusses strategies for scale-up, including consideration of energy, waste, and effluentsFor more information on the Wiley Series in Renewable Resources, visit www.wiley.com/go/rrs

    Biology and Ecology of FishesImmerse yourself in the world of fish ecology with the newest edition of this essential introductionThe study of fish ecology has traditionally proceeded along two tracks: the first is more basic, concerned with the anatomy, physiology and theoretical ecology of fish, and the second is more practical, concerning itself with fish populations, management, and habitats. Many fish researchers have come to view this distinction as artificial, and to develop a new study of fish that combines both tracks in a single holistic approach. It has never been more critical for introductory textbooks to represent this combined study in order to prepare the next generation of fish biologists and fishery scientists.Biology and Ecology of Fishes meets this need with a textbook that incorporates both biology and population management. Beginning with a general introduction to aquatic life and ecosystems, this book covers anatomical, environmental, and ethological topics to give a thoroughly rounded view of its subject, promising to serve as the fundamental introduction to multidisciplinary fish studies.Readers of the third edition of Biology and Ecology of Fishes will also find:* Detailed coverage of subjects including growth and bioenergetics, feeding and predation, mortality and recruitment and more* Increased attention to stressors of fish populations and communities* New and revised chapters that introduce quantitative methods and present emerging issues facing fish populations and communitiesBiology and Ecology of Fishes is a useful overview for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying fish ecology or fishery biology, as well as a reference for researchers and professionals in fish ecology, fish population management, and related fields.

    Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women's bodies remain at the mercy of state, society and religion? Should a scantily clad woman, or a promiscuous one, be worth less than a fully covered woman, or a chaste one? Are being sexy and being smart really mutually exclusive? Can a woman be both body and brain? Victoria Bateman has confronted these questions with actions as well as words. She has appeared naked on national television, on stage, in art and at protests - using her body, as well as her brain, to deliver her message.In Naked Feminism, Bateman makes a compelling case for women's bodily freedom, and explains why the current puritanical revival is so dangerous for women. Illustrating the swinging pendulum of bodily modesty through the ages, she takes us on a journey from the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Babylon, through the birth of Christianity and Islam, to the lax morals of the medieval period and the bawdiness of Chaucer and Shakespeare; to the clampdowns of the Puritans and later the Victorians and, more recently, to the re-veiling of the Middle East and the purity pledges of modern-day America. She ends with a plea: feminists must unite to challenge the repression of the female body, as only then can women be truly free.

    The Conservative Party can lay convincing claim to being the world's most successful political party, not least because it is also one of the most adaptable, often appearing to do and say pretty much whatever it takes to win. But has it now taken things too far?Since the UK voted to leave the EU back in 2016, the Tories have arguably done more than simply re-shape themselves: rather, they seem to have transformed themselves from a mainstream centre-right party into a counter-intuitive combination of radical right-wing populism, free market fundamentalism, and fiscal constraint that is arguably not only inherently unstable but also poses a threat to many of the norms of both liberal democracy and economic common sense.In this compelling and persuasively argued book, Tim Bale, one of the country's foremost experts on contemporary British politics, takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the Conservatives' fortunes over the last decade. From the bombshell Brexit referendum, through to the chaotic premierships of Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss, and all the way up to Rishi Sunak's rise to power, Bale tells the fascinating tale of a party that, in just a few short years, has gone from nervous breakdown to top of the world - and back again.

    Novel approach to the theory of signals and systems in an introductory, accessible textbookSignals and Systems have the reputation of being a difficult subject. Essentials of Signals and Systems is a standalone textbook aiming to change this reputation with a novel approach to this subject, teaching the essential concepts of signals and systems in a clear, friendly, intuitive, and accessible way.The overall vision of the book is that traditional approaches to signals and systems are unnecessarily convoluted, and that students' learning experiences are much improved by making a clear connection between the theory of representation of signal and systems, and the theory of representation of vectors and matrices in linear algebra. The author begins by reviewing the theory of representation in linear algebra, emphasizing that vectors are represented by different coordinates when the basis is changed, and that the basis of eigenvectors is special because it diagonalizes the operator. Thus, in each step of the theory of representation of signals and systems, the author shows the analogous step in linear algebra. With such an approach, students can easily understand that signals are analogous to vectors, that systems are analogous to matrices, and that Fourier transforms are a change to the basis that diagonalizes LTI operators.The text emphasizes the key concepts in the analysis of linear and time invariant systems, demonstrating both the algebraic and physical meaning of Fourier transforms. The text carefully connects the most important transforms (Fourier series, Discrete Time Fourier Transform, Discrete Fourier Transforms, Laplace and z-transforms), emphasizing their relationships and motivations. The continuous and discrete time domains are neatly connected, and the students are shown step-by-step how to use the fft function, using simple examples.Incorporating learning objectives and problems, and supported with simple Matlab codes to illustrate concepts, the text presents to students the foundations to allow the reader to pursue more advanced topics in later courses.Developed from lecture notes already tested with more than 600 students over six years, Essentials of Signals and Systems covers sample topics such as:* Basic concepts of linear algebra that are pertinent to signals and systems.* Theory of representation of signals, with an emphasis on the notion of Fourier transforms as a change of basis, and on their physical meaning.* Theory of representation of linear and time invariant systems, emphasizing the role of Fourier transforms as a change to the basis of eigenvectors, and the physical meaning of the impulse and frequency responses.* What signals and systems have to do with phasors and impedances, and the basics of filter design.* The Laplace transform as an extension of Fourier transforms.* Discrete signals and systems, the sampling theorem, the Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT), the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), and how to use the fast fourier transform (fft).* The z-transform as an extension of the Discrete Time Fourier Transform.Essentials of Signals and Systems is an immensely helpful textbook on the subject for undergraduate students of electrical and computer engineering. The information contained within is also pertinent to those in physics and related fields involved in the understanding of signals and system processing, including those working on related practical applications.
