Sommario/riassunto

In The Ethos of a Late-Modern Citizen, Stephen K. White contends that Western democracies face novel challenges demanding our reexamination of the role of citizens. White argues that the intense focus in the past three decades on finding general principles of justice for diversity-rich societies needs to be complemented by an exploration of what sort of ethos would be needed to adequately sustain any such principles. Accessible, pithy, and erudite, The Ethos of a Late-Modern Citizen will appeal to a wide audience.

Sommario/riassunto

The Tauberian theory has found a widespread application in probability theory. Despite the strong interest of probabilists in Tauberian theorems, no book specially devoted to this topic has been published yet. This monograph is intended to fill this gap.
