Democratizing Taiwan provides the most comprehensive analysis of Taiwan's peaceful democratization including its past violent authoritarian experiences, leadership both within and outside government, popular protest and elections, and constitutional interpretation and amendments. Using extensive field research including the conduct of many interviews with government and party leaders, journalists, academics and a wide variety of citizens over many years as well as substantial research into documents, newspapers and academic research, Professor Jacobs provides many new insights into Taiwan's democratization. He also analyses areas in which Taiwan continues to face difficulties. 606 $aDemocratization$zTaiwan$xHistory 607 $aTaiwan$xPolitics and government$y1975- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocratization$xHistory. 676 $a320.951249 700 $aJacobs$b J.

Although humans have tried to forecast weather for millennia, mathematical principles were used in meteorology only after the turn of the twentieth century. From the first proposal for using mathematics to predict weather, to the supercomputers that now process meteorological information gathered from satellites and weather stations, Ian Roulstone and John Norbury narrate the groundbreaking evolution of modern forecasting. The authors begin with Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist who in 1904 came up with a method now known as numerical weather prediction. Although his proposed calculations could not be implemented without computers, his early attempts, along with those of Lewis Fry Richardson, marked a turning point in atmospheric science. Roulstone and Norbury describe the discovery of chaos theory's butterfly effect, in which tiny variations in initial conditions produce large variations in the long-term behavior of a system--dashing the hopes of perfect predictability for weather patterns. They explore how weather forecasters today formulate their ideas through state-of-the-art mathematics, taking into account limitations to predictability. Millions of variables--known, unknown, and approximate--as well as billions of calculations, are involved in every forecast, producing informative and fascinating modern computer simulations of the Earth system. Accessible and timely, Invisible in the Storm explains the crucial role of mathematics in understanding the ever-changing weather"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMeteorology$xData processing 606 $aClimatology$xData processing 606 $aMeteorology$xMathematical models 606 $aClimatology$xMathematical models 615 0$aMeteorology$xData processing. 615 0$aClimatology$xData processing. 615 0$aMeteorology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aClimatology$xMathematical models. 676 $a551.60151 686 $aSCI042000$aMAT003000$aNAT036000$aMAT007000$aMAT005000$aMAT015000$2bisacsh 700 $aRoulstone$b Ian$01492609 701 $aNorbury$b John$f1945-$01492610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786006403321 996 $aInvisible in the storm$93715216 997 $aUNINA
