America’s New Racial Battle Lines: Protect versus Repair (Chicago Studies in American Politics)
by Rogers M. Smith Desmond KingA sobering portrait of the United States’ divided racial politics. For nearly two decades, Rogers M. Smith and Desmond King have charted the shifting racial policy alliances that have shaped American politics across different eras. In America’s New Racial Battle Lines, they show that US racial policy debates are undergoing fundamental change. Disputes over colorblind versus race-conscious policies have given way to new lines of conflict. Today’s conservatives promise to protect traditionalist, predominantly white, Christian Americans against what they call the “radical” Left. Meanwhile, today’s progressives seek not just to integrate American institutions but to more fully transform and “repair” pervasive systemic racism. Drawing on interviews with activists, surveys, social network analyses, and comprehensive reviews of federal, state, and local policies and advocacy groups, Smith and King map the memberships and goals of two rival racial policy alliances and delineate the contrasting stories each side tells. They also show that these increasingly polarized racial policy alliances are substantially funded on both the Left and Right. Placing today’s conflicts in theoretical and historical perspectives, Smith and King analyze where these intensifying clashes may take the nation in the years ahead. They highlight the great potential for mounting violence, as well as the remaining possibilities for finding common ground.

The Amethyst Kingdom (The Five Crowns of Okrith #5)
by null A.K. MulfordThe fifth and final novel in the Five Crowns of Okrith series. Can Carys have it all? Can she balance the competition of the trials, to win the Eastern Court crown, and the chance at love … with her hated nemesis. Carys Hilgaard has grown tremendously through her years; no longer is she the vapid, prejudicial fae who drowned herself in wine. At least, she wants to believe that’s true. So, when the time comes for the Eastern Court trials to commence, her mind is set on one objective: win the crown and become the people’s queen. But the gods have different plans. Lord Ersan Almah, her ex-boyfriend and fated mate, has entered the competition, vying for the kingdom himself—and hoping it’s enough to cure his heart after losing Carys. When incandescent hearts rekindle for a second chance at destined love, Carys must learn to let her lingering past go in order to protect her kingdom, the people she cares for, and fight for hope … if not, everything could collapse into ashes. The crown is calling Carys’ name, but can her head bear the weight when passion sets her heart racing?

(An)Archive: Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War
by Zsuzsa Millei;Nelli Piattoeva;Iveta Silova;Mnemo ZINWhat was it like growing up during the Cold War? What can childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the (An)Archive: Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘Iron Curtain’. Looking beyond official historical archives, the book gathers memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide. And it reassembles and (re)stores these childhood memories in a form of an ‘anarchive’: a site for merging, mixing, connecting, but also juxtaposing personal experiences, public memory, political rhetoric, places, times, and artifacts. These acts and arts of collective remembering tell about possible futures―and the past’s futures―what life during the Cold War might have been but also what it has become. (An)Archive will be of particular interest to scholars in a variety of fields, but particularly to artists, educators, historians, social scientists, and others working with memory methodologies that range from collective biography to oral history, (auto)biography, autoethnography, and archives.
Analysing the Israel Effect in Canada: A Critical AutoEthnography
by Peter EglinWhat is the life of a Palestinian worth to intellectuals in Canadian universities and news media? Analyzing the Israel Effect documents and analyzes the discursive and organizational methods by which public criticism of Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians is silenced in Canada, as experienced through ten episodes in the life of the author over a thirty-year period from 1990-2020 in interaction with his university and local and national Canadian news media.As a sociological work the book is a critical autoethnography. But it is also an atrocity tale, a horror story of institutional self-censorship amounting to the abrogation of intellectual responsibility by those specifically charged with upholding it. In the end, the book is a crossover between academic treatise and journalistic exposé, “a historical narrative written by an academic from the standpoint of a political participant-observer” (Rajan Philips). The Israel Effect itself is analyzed as a three-tier propaganda industry. Hasbara is produced in Israel (Tier 1), disseminated to Israel Lobby groups around the world (Tier 2) and independently re-produced, actively and passively, by the “intellectual” institutions – universities and news media (Tier 3). This book is about the non-Jewish, non-Zionist institutions of Tier 3, the onlookers to war crimes, ethnic cleansing and, arguably, genocide, as in Gaza in October-November 2023.This work stands as a compelling testament to the importance of preserving freedom of expression, and the vital role intellectuals play in challenging injustice and promoting transparency. It is ideal for scholars, activists, and anyone seeking to understand the complexities of political activism and the power dynamics behind public discourse.

Analysis
by Norbert SteinmetzDas Buch wendet sich sowohl an Studierende aller mathematischen Fachrichtungen und mathematisch interessierte Studierende der Physik als auch an Dozentinnen und Dozenten, die den Aufbau ihres ersten Analysiskurses noch vor sich haben oder Anregungen für ihre Vorlesungen suchen. Inhalt und Form sind entstanden und vielfach erprobt in immer wieder kritisch veränderten und angepassten 3-semestrigen Analysiskursen. Etwa 2/3 des Buches decken die Erfordernisse einer 2-semestrigen Grundvorlesung Analysis ab, wohingegen das restliche Drittel Elemente der Fourieranalysis, der Differentialgeometrie, der gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungen und der Funktionentheorie behandeln, Themen, denen eigenständige Vorlesungen auch weiterhin zu wünschen sind. Zu den Besonderheiten zählen die parallele und miteinander verzahnte Einführung des Riemann- und Lebesgueintegrals, die Einbettung einfacher Elemente der komplexen in die reelle Analysis, ausgedehnte Anwendungen – von der Heisenbergschen Unschärferelation über die Lösung der Wärmeleitungsgleichung bis hin zur Black-Scholes-Formel – sowie die Darstellung der Methode von Ostrogradski und des Dixon-Beweises der allgemeinen Cauchyschen Integralformel. Dass an verschiedenen Stellen die eingefahrenen Pfade verlassen wurden, wird der kundigen Leserschaft nicht verborgen bleiben. Die Frage „abstrakt oder anschaulich-verständlich“ wird konsequent zugunsten des letzteren entschieden. Die Übungsaufgaben sind in den laufenden Text eingebaut in der Hoffnung, dass sie so mehr Beachtung finden. Schließlich vermitteln die historischen Anmerkungen und Kurzbiographien einen Eindruck davon, wie die Analysis sich entwickelt hat und wer wesentlich an dieser Entwicklung beteiligt war.
Analytical and Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Fluid Flow Problems in Porous Media
by Wenchao Liu Jun Yao Weiyao ZhuThis book investigates in detail the mathematical methods and computation methods in efficient solution of some open nonlinear seepage flow problems involved in engineering problems. Developed engineering technologies and some relevant practical field applications are also provided. The introduced open nonlinear problems include nonlinear quadratic pressure gradient term problem, compressible gas seepage flow problem and low-velocity non-Darcy seepage flow problem. Studies on these nonlinear seepage flow problems have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as geo-energy engineering, civil and environmental engineering, fluid mechanics, applied mathematics and computation. In particular, the book systematically establishes a fundamental theory for a strongly nonlinear problem of low-velocity non-Darcy seepage flow from a new perspective of moving boundary, while emphasizing the usage of mathematical linearization transformation methods and computational methods into the analytical and numerical solution of the strongly nonlinear partial differential equations. Sufficient knowledge of mathematics is always introduced ahead of model solution to assist readers. And the procedure of strict formula deduction in the model solution process is provided in detail. High-solution figures and tables from model solution are rich in the book. Therefore, it is very helpful for the readers to master the nonlinear model solution methods and engineering technologies. The book is intended for upper undergraduate students and graduate students who are interested in engineering technology, fluid mechanics and applied mathematics, researchers and engineers working on geo-energy science and engineering and field applications.

Animal Models of Human Disease (Elements in the Philosophy of Biology)
by null Sara GreenThe crucial role of animal models in biomedical research calls for philosophical investigation of how and whether knowledge about human diseases can be gained by studying other species. This Element delves into the selection and construction of animal models to serve as preclinical substitutes for human patients. It explores the multifaceted roles animal models fulfil in translational research and how the boundaries between humans and animals are negotiated in this process. The book also covers persistent translational challenges that have sparked debates across scientific, philosophical, and public arenas regarding the limitations and future of animal models. Among the are persistent tensions between standardization and variation in medicine, as well as between strategies aiming to reduce and recapitulate biological complexity. Finally, the book examines the prospects of replacing animal models with animal-free methods. The Element demonstrates why animal modeling should be of interest to philosophers, social scientists, and scientists alike.
Animal Welfare in a Pandemic: What Does COVID-19 Tell us for the Future? (CRC One Health One Welfare)
by John T. Hancock Ros C. Rouse Tim J. CraigAnimal Welfare in a Pandemic explores the impact of COVID-19 on a wide array of animals, from those in the wild to companion and captive animals. During the height of the pandemic, a range of animals were infected, and many died, but this was hard to predict, even using up-to-date bioinformatics. Lockdowns around the world had, and continue to have, a major effect on animals’ welfare, influencing pet ownership and care, as well as impacting on the work of conservation institutes due to the lack of visitors and funding and lack of tourist presence in the wild which impacted on anti-poaching efforts. Some of the vast amount of personal protection equipment (PPE) that was distributed was discarded, creating both dangers and occasional opportunities for wild animals. With the rollout of human vaccines, some countries started developing animal vaccines, only some of which were deployed. In summary, the pandemic had a wide-ranging influence on animal welfare around the world. This is reviewed to highlight what can be learned to protect and enhance animal welfare in future epidemics/pandemics, and contribute to a genuinely One Health approach where the health and welfare of both humans and animals are considered holistically.This book is authored by members of the University of the West of England, Bristol, who span a range of expertise in Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Animal Welfare, and Ethics.
