This book brings together leading scholars to explore the historical evolution of world systems through examining the ebb and flow of great powers over time, with particular emphasis on early time periods. The book advances understanding of the regularities in the dynamics of empire and the expansion of political, social and economic interaction networks, from the Bronze Age forward. The authors analyze the expansion and contraction of cross-cultural trade networks and systems of competing and allying political groupings. In premodern times, theses ranged from small local trading networks (even the very small ones of hunting-gathering peoples) to the vast Mongol world-system. Within such systems, there is usually one, or a very few, hegemonic powers. How they achieve dominance and how transitions lead to systems change are important topics, particularly at a time when the United States' position is in flux. The chapters in this book review several recent approaches and present a wealth of new findings. 410 0$aEvolutionary processes in world politics series. 606 $aSocial evolution 606 $aSocial history 606 $aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial evolution. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a306/.09 701 $aChase-Dunn$b Christopher K$0791778 701 $aAnderson$b Eugene N$g(Eugene Newton),$f1941-$0777738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784212703321 996 $aThe historical evolution of world-systems$93858682 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05599nam 2200757Ia 450 001 9911006651303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786611034474 010 $a9781281034472 010 $a1281034479 010 $a9780080530772 010 $a008053077X 035 $a(CKB)1000000000350834 035 $a(EBL)313624 035 $a(OCoLC)476102828 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000145257 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11160579 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000145257 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10177291 035 $a(PQKB)11370718 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC313624 035 $a(PPN)170243028 035 $a(OCoLC)824151172 035 $a(OCoLC)ocn824151172 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)40000860 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780750637442 035 $a(FRCYB40000860)40000860 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000350834 100 $a19981015d1998 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aElectronics calculations data handbook /$fDaniel McBrearty 205 $a1st edition 210 $aOxford ;$aBoston $cNewnes$d1998 215 $a1 online resource (312 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780750637442 311 08$a0750637447 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.[295]) and index. 327 $aFront Cover; Electronics CaIculations Data Handbook; Copyright Page; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgements; Part One: Basic Concepts; Introduction to Part One; Chapter 1.

Units, symbols and suffixes 330 $aThis unique handbook consists of tables compiled as a labour-saving aid for electronics engineers, designers and technicians. The layout and content of these is designed to make them easy to use, and to contain the most valuable but tough to calculate information.Daniel McBrearty compiled this book as a result of bitter experience as an analog designer, initially prototyping and testing the ideas of other folk, and seeking to make those little changes that can make the difference between a good and really excellent circuit, and later doing the whole thing himself.
