MacNutt published the first general history of the Atlantic provinces before Confederation. An outstanding scholarly achievement, that history inspired much of the enormous growth of research and writing on Atlantic Canada in the succeeding decades. Now a new effort is required, to convey the state of our knowledge in the 1990s. Many of the themes important to today's historians, notably those relating to social class, gender, and ethnicity, have been fully developed only since 1970. Important advances have been made in our understanding of regional economic developments and their implications for social, cultural, and political life.This book is intended to fill the need for an up-to-date overview of emerging regional themes and issues. Each of the sixteen chapters, written by a distinguished scholar, covers a specific chronological period and has been carefully integrated into the whole. The history begins with the evolution of Native cultures and the impact of the arrival of Europeans on those cultures, and continues to the formation of Confederation. The goal has been to provide a synthesis that not only incorporates the most recent scholarship but is accessible to the general reader. The book re-assesses many old themes from a new perspective, and seeks to broaden the focus of regional history to include those groups whom the traditional historiography ignored or marginalized. 606 $aHISTORY / Canada / Pre-Confederation (to 1867)$2bisacsh 607 $aAtlantic Provinces$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Canada / Pre-Confederation (to 1867). 676 $a971.5 702 $aBuckner$b Phillip A$g(Phillip Alfred),$f1942- 702 $aReid$b John G.$f1948- 702 $aLeinberger$b Eric 702 $aWynn$b Graeme 702 $aMcNutt$b Mitchell A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460944003321 996 $aThe Atlantic region to Confederation$92037960 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04200nam 22006734a 450 001 9910456200703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-60847-1 010 $a9786610608478 010 $a0-306-48212-6 024 7 $a10.1007/b100809 035 $a(CKB)111087027860498 035 $a(EBL)3036012 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000258252 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11203732 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000258252 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10256191 035 $a(PQKB)10677015 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-306-48212-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3036012 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC197849 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3036012 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10067494 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL60847 035 $a(OCoLC)54061816 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL197849 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111087027860498 100 $a20020917d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe theory of search games and rendezvous$b[electronic resource] /$fby Steve Alpern, Shmuel Gal 205 $a1st ed. 2003. 210 $aBoston $cKluwer Academic Publishers$dc2003 215 $a1 online resource (336 p.) 225 1 $aInternational series in operations research & management science ;$v55 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-7923-7468-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

It deals with the problem faced by a Searcher who wishes to minimize the time required to find a hidden object, or ?target. ? The Searcher chooses a path in the ?search space? and finds the target when he is sufficiently close to it. Traditionally, the target is assumed to have no motives of its own regarding when it is found; it is simply stationary and hidden according to a known distribution (e. g. , oil), or its motion is determined stochastically by known rules (e. g. , a fox in a forest). The problems dealt with in this book assume, on the contrary, that the ?target? is an independent player of equal status to the Searcher, who cares about when he is found. We consider two possible motives of the target, and divide the book accordingly. Book I considers the zero-sum game that results when the target (here called the Hider) does not want to be found. Such problems have been called Search Games (with the ?ze- sum? qualifier understood). Book II considers the opposite motive of the target, namely, that he wants to be found. In this case the Searcher and the Hider can be thought of as a team of agents (simply called Player I and Player II) with identical aims, and the coordination problem they jointly face is called the Rendezvous Search Problem. 410 0$aInternational series in operations research & management science ;$v55. 606 $aSearch theory 606 $aGame theory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSearch theory. 615 0$aGame theory. 676 $a003 700 $aAlpern$b Steve$f1948-$0145016 701 $aGal$b Shmuel$056831 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456200703321 996 $aThe theory of search games and rendezvous$91895983 997 $aUNINA
