Higher Mathematics for Engineers and Physicists (Second Edition)
The favorable reception of the First Edition of this volume appears to have sustained the authors' belief in the need of a book on mathematics beyond the calculus, vritten from the point of view of the student of applied science. The chief purpose of the book is to help to bridge the gap which separates many engineers from mathematics by giving them a bird's-eye view of those mathematical topics which are indispensable in the study of the physical sciences.
The Routledge Companion to News and Journalism presents an authoritative, comprehensive assessment of diverse forms of news media reporting – past, present and future. Including 56 chapters, written by an outstanding team of internationally respected authors, the book provides scholars and students with a reliable, historically informed guide to news media and journalism studies.
With this insightful exploration of the probabilistic connection between philosophy and the history of science, the famous economist breathed new life into studies of both disciplines. Originally published in 1921, this important mathematical work represented a significant contribution to the theory regarding the logical probability of propositions, and launched the “logical-relationist” theory.
This book compiles and synthesizes existing research on teachers' use of mathematics curriculum materials and the impact of curriculum materials on teaching and teachers, with a particular emphasis on - but not restricted to - those materials developed in the 1990s in response to the NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. The book represents the first compilation of research on teachers and mathematics curriculum materials and the first volume with this focus in any content area in several decades.

Time, Space, Stars and Man: The Story of the Big Bang
Most well-read, but non-scientific, people will have heard of the term ‘Big Bang’ as a description of the origin of the Universe. They will recognize that DNA identifies individuals and will know that the origin of life is one of the great unsolved scientific mysteries.
