Sommario/riassunto |
|
What are the reasons behind, and trajectories of, the rapid cultural changes in Ukraine since 2013? This volume highlights: the role of the Revolution of Dignity and the Russian-Ukrainian war in the formation of Ukrainian civil society; the forms of warfare waged by Moscow against Kyiv, including information and religious wars; Ukrainian and Russian identities and cultural realignment; sources of destabilization in Ukraine and beyond; memory politics and Russian foreign policies; the Kremlin’s geopolitical goals in its 'near abroad'; and factors determining Ukraine’s future and survival in a state of war. The studies included in this collection illuminate the growing gap between the political and social systems of Ukraine and Russia. The anthology illustrates how the Ukrainian revolution of 2013–2014, Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula, and its invasion of eastern Ukraine have altered the post-Cold War political landscape and, with it, the regional and global power and security dynamics. |
“Revolution and War in Contemporary Ukraine is indispensable reading for anyone who wants clearheaded, unbiased, multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between Ukraine’s revolutionary democratic strivings and Putin Russia’s imperial response.“ —Prof. Dr. Alexander Motyl, Rutgers University–Newark |
“This excellent collection brings together specialists on contemporary Ukraine to provide an erudite, interdisciplinary, and up-to-date portrait of the nation confronting a hybrid war—and an assault on its very identity. The topics covered include the Euromaidan Revolution, the Russian takeover of the Crimea, the reform attempts by the new Ukrainian government, and the lingering war in the Donbas. This book’s special strength is the attention that the authors pay to the language and representations, as well as to the cultural sphere in general, including religion and historical mythologies. Olga Bertelsen’s insightful introduction and epilogue complement her remarkable editorial achievement of putting together such a comprehensive collection so soon after the events took place.“ —Prof. Dr. Serhy Yekelchyk, Professor of History and Slavic Studies, University of Victoria |
“This book, beautifully edited by Olga Bertelsen, is a very important and timely contribution to the growing literature on recent Ukrainian political, social, and cultural developments and Putin’s war against Ukraine. The essays of this collection, written by prominent Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, and Western experts in Ukrainian history, politics, and culture, contain precious information which not only explains to the Western audience the recent situation in the Eastern European post-Soviet political space, but also convincingly demonstrates the danger of Putin’s political regime.“ —Prof. Dr. Sergei I. Zhuk, Professor of History, Ball State University |
“Andrij Kravchuk, an expert on the Ukrainian religious scene, presents reactions to the current turmoil among three smaller religious communities—Muslims, Jews, and Baptists. Peter Tanchak takes us into the war-room of Russian informational warfare—disinformation and trolling. The two last chapters in the book are valuable introductions into two topics not directly related to the Russian- Ukrainian confrontation: political corruption (Oksana Huss) and police reform in Ukraine (Bohdan Harasymiw).” – Slavic Review, Spring 2018 |
“In sum, it can be said that this book explores the Ukrainian crisis using a different approach, not often seen in other works. The authors have attempted to view the Ukrainian crisis […] from a social and identity |

perspective. In this they have been successful. As a result, the reader gains a more thorough understanding of events and better perceives the complexities of the tensions between Ukraine and Russia and, hence, between Russia and the West.” —Europe-Asia Studies, 70:2 2018 |
“The book has an appeal as broad as its subject matter. It is a very worthwhile read for practitioners and policymakers seeking a nuanced, thorough discussion of contemporary Ukraine and the challenges it faces. Moreover, scholars working on a wide variety of issues, from the Ukraine-Russian conflict, to Ukrainian or Russian identity, Euromaidan, Russian foreign policy, and information warfare, will find material of interest.” –ID: International Dialogue, A Multidisciplinary Journal of World Affairs, 9/2019 |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. Considering the advantages and limitations of both physical and mathematical methods, this book will help you identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. All models require the knowledge of their background, good data and careful interpretation and so this book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype. Applications to models include: open channel systems, closed conduit flows, storm drainage systems, estuaries, coastal and nearshore structures, hydraulic structures. This an invaluable guide for students and professionals. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Fractal geometry, together with the broader fields of nonlinear dynamics and complexity, represented a large segment of modern science at the end of the 20th century. Penetration of the resulting new paradigms into practically all academic disciplines has confirmed the fundamental assertion of universal formalism common to a wide range of human endeavors. This book contains an extended article by B B Mandelbrot, reviewing his contribution to fractal geometry and outlining some unsolved problems, with illustrations especially of finance and physics. It covers a range of multidisciplinary topics |
