Innovation in Cultural Systems: Contributions from Evolutionary AnthropologyInnovation in Cultural Systems: Contributions from Evolutionary Anthropology

In recent years an interest in applying the principles of evolution to the study of culture emerged in the social sciences. Archaeologists and anthropologists reconsidered the role of innovation in particular, and have moved toward characterizing innovation in cultural systems not only as a product but also as an evolutionary process.

Leading Change: A Guide to Whole Systems WorkingLeading Change: A Guide to Whole Systems Working

There is continuing government pressure on public services to "reform". Expectations of new forms and standards of delivery, joined-up practice and the reconnection of services to users are high. Unfortunately, many policy makers have become reliant on mechanistic top-down audit and inspection regimes as the means of implementation. This book sets out to redress the balance.

Introduction to Algebraic GeometryIntroduction to Algebraic Geometry

This classic work, now available in paperback, outlines the geometric aspects of algebraic equations, one of the oldest and most central subjects in mathematics. Recent decades have seen explosive growth in the more abstract side of algeraic geometry, with great emphasis on new basic techniques. This timely reissue complements these recent innovations, providing a much-needed background in such areas as plane curves, quadratic transformations, the geometry of line systems, and the projective characters of curves and surfaces.

Renewable Energy Systems: The Choice and Modeling of 100% Renewable SolutionsRenewable Energy Systems: The Choice and Modeling of 100% Renewable Solutions

In this practical guide, globally recognized renewable energy researcher and professor Henrik Lund describes the modeling and simulation techniques that can be utilised to ensure at the outset of any renewable energy project that the resources available will meet supply demands. A clear, comprehensive methodology is set forth for comparing different energy systems' abilities to integrate fluctuating and intermittent renewable energy sources.

Geometric Optics: Theory and Design of Astronomical Optical Systems Using MathematicaGeometric Optics: Theory and Design of Astronomical Optical Systems Using Mathematica

This book—unique in the literature—provides readers with the mathematical background needed to design many of the optical combinations that are used in astronomical telescopes and cameras. The results presented in the work were obtained by using a different approach to third-order aberration theory as well as the extensive use of the software package Mathematica®.
