The techniques presented are those that have been most widely and successfully applied to the analysis of physiological systems, and address issues such as randomness, determinism, dimension, and nonlinearity. In addition to bringing together the most useful methods, sufficient mathematical background is provided to enable non-specialists to understand and apply the computational techniques.

Stagflation, Unemployment, and Business Cycles: An Evolutionary Approach to Macroeconomics -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- IndexThe years since World War II have seen rapid shifts in the relative positions of different countries and regions. Leading political economist Mancur Olson offers a new and compelling theory to explain these shifts in fortune and then tests his theory against evidence from many periods of history and many parts of the world."[T]his elegant, readable book. . . sets out to explain why economies succumb to the 'British disease,' the kind of stagnation and demoralization that is now sweeping Europe and North America. . . . A convincing book that could make a big difference in the way we think about modern economic problems."-Peter Passell, The New York Times Book Review"Schumpeter and Keynes would have hailed the insights Olson gives into the sicknesses of the modern mixed economy."-Paul A. Samuelson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology"One of the really important books in social science of the past half-century."-Scott Gordon, The Canadian Journal of Economics"The thesis of this brilliant book is that the longer a society enjoys political stability, the more likely it is to develop powerful special-interest lobbies that in turn make it less efficient economically."-Charles Peters, The Washington Monthly"Remarkable. The fundamental ideas are simple, yet they provide insight into a wide array of social and historical issues. . . . The Rise and Decline of Nations promises to be a subject of productive interdisciplinary argument for years to come."-Robert O. Keohane, Journal of Economic Literature"I urgently recommend it to all economists and to a great many non-economists."-Gordon Tullock, Public Choice"Olson's theory is illuminating and there is no doubt that The Rise and Decline of Nations will exert much influence on ideas and politics for many decades to come."-Pierre Lemieux, ReasonCo-winner of the 1983 American Political Science Association's Gladys M.

This volume explores how Syro-Hittite monumental art was used as a powerful backdrop to important ritual events, and it opens up a new perspective by situating the monumental heritage in the context of large public performances and civic spectacles of great emotional impact. The first part of the volume focuses on the sites of Carchemish and Zincirli, offering a close reading of the relevant archaeological contexts. The second part of the volume discusses the embedment of monumental art in ritual performance and examines how change in art relates to change in ceremonial behavior, and how the latter relates in turn to change in power structures and models of rulership.Topoi ;v. 2.Relief (Sculpture), HittiteTurkeyCarchemish (Extinct city)Relief (Sculpture), HittiteTurkeyZincirli (Gaziantep İli)MonumentsTurkeyCarchemish (Extinct city)MonumentsTurkeyZincirli (Gaziantep İli)HittitesCivilizationElectronic books.Relief (Sculpture), HittiteRelief (Sculpture), HittiteMonumentsMonumentsHittitesCivilization.732/.5Gilibert Alessandra1035073MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456230103321Syro-Hittite monumental art and the archaeology of performance2454577UNINA01777nam 2200397 450 991079361550332120230817182210.01-61376-680-7(CKB)4100000009273334(MiAaPQ)EBC5894426(EXLCZ)99410000000927333420191029d2019 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierToo numerous /Kent ShawAmherst ;Boston :University of Massachusetts Press,[2019]©20191 online resource (vii, 69 pages)Juniper Prize for Poetry1-62534-430-9 "What does it really mean when people are viewed as bytes of data? And is there beauty or an imaginative potential to information culture and the databases cataloguing it? As Too Numerous reveals, the raw material of bytes and data points can be reshaped and repurposed for ridiculous, melancholic, and even aesthetic purposes. Grappling with an information culture that is both intimidating and daunting, Kent Shaw considers the impersonality represented by the continuing accumulation of personal information and the felicities--and barriers--that result: The us that was inside us was magnificent structures.
