But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist."From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman-and third American woman-to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Jody Williams takes the reader through the ups and downs of her tumultuous and remarkable life. In a voice that is at once candid, straightforward, and intimate, Williams describes her Catholic roots, her first step on a long road to standing up to bullies with the defense of her deaf brother Stephen, her transformation from good girl to college hippie at the University of Vermont, and her protest of the war in Vietnam. She relates how, in 1981, she began her lifelong dedication to global activism as she battled to stop the U.S.-backed war in El Salvador.Throughout the memoir, Williams underlines her belief that an "average woman"-through perseverance, courage and imagination-can make something extraordinary happen. She tells how, when asked if she'd start a campaign to ban and clear anti-personnel mines, she took up the challenge, and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was born. Her engrossing account of the genesis and evolution of the campaign, culminating in 1997 with the Nobel Peace Prize, vividly demonstrates how one woman's commitment to freedom, self-determination, and human rights can have a profound impact on people all over the globe.California Series in Public AnthropologyPacifistsUnited StatesBiographyWomen Nobel Prize winnersUnited StatesBiographyNobel Prize winnersUnited StatesBiographyadvocate.anthropology.autobiography.biographies.biography.career.catholic roots.engaging.female authors.geopolitics.government.human rights.icbl.international campaign to ban landmines.international campaign.intersectional feminism.memoir.nobel peace prize.page turner.political action.political.revolutionaries.social activists.social issues.social movements.socials issues.sociology.strong women.uplifting stories.vermont.vietnam war.women writers.women.world politics.PacifistsWomen Nobel Prize winnersNobel Prize winners327.1/743BWilliams Jody1950-1504537V1953-1504538MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786265203321My name is Jody Williams3733585UNINA03332nam 22006855 450 991036085440332120251113210615.09783030272890303027289310.1007/978-3-030-27289-0(CKB)4100000009759104(DE-He213)978-3-030-27289-0(MiAaPQ)EBC5979345(PPN)250812886(MiAaPQ)EBC31886974(Au-PeEL)EBL31886974(OCoLC)1126339813(EXLCZ)99410000000975910420191101d2019 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMathematical Economics Prelude to the Neoclassical Model /by Kam Yu1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (XIII, 214 p. 26 illus., 18 illus. in color.)

Basic Topology -- Chapter 4. Linear Algebra -- Chapter 5. Vector Calculus -- Chapter 6. Convex Analysis -- Chapter 7. Optimization -- Chapter 8. Probability -- Chapter 9. Dynamic Modeling.This textbook provides a one-semester introduction to mathematical economics for first year graduate and senior undergraduate students. Intended to fill the gap between typical liberal arts curriculum and the rigorous mathematical modeling of graduate study in economics, this text provides a concise introduction to the mathematics needed for core microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics courses. Chapters 1 through 5 builds students’ skills in formal proof, axiomatic treatment of linear algebra, and elementary vector differentiation. Chapters 6 and 7 present the basic tools needed for microeconomic analysis. Chapter 8 provides a quick introduction to (or review of) probability theory. Chapter 9 introduces dynamic modeling, applicable in advanced macroeconomics courses. The materials assume prerequisites in undergraduate calculus and linear algebra. Each chapter includes in-text exercises and a solutions manual, making this text ideal for self-study.Springer Texts in Business and Economics,2192-4341Game theoryEconometricsMicroeconomicsMacroeconomicsGame TheoryQuantitative EconomicsMicroeconomicsMacroeconomics and Monetary EconomicsGame theory.Econometrics.Microeconomics.Macroeconomics.Game Theory.Quantitative Economics.Microeconomics.Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics.330.0151Yu Kamauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut781368MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910360854403321Mathematical Economics1732557UNINA
