What To Do? -- Continuing the Conversation. 330 $aThis book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Charles Sheppard, Professor of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick. Charles Sheppard has worked extensively for a wide range of UN, governmental and aid agencies in tropical marine and coastal development issues. This conversation explores how Prof. Sheppard is trying to find a way through political shortsightedness, corporate greed and societal indifference to use his experience to make the planet a better place. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, All Too Relevant, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter. Howard Burton was the Founding Director of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and an MA in philosophy. This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert in a focused yet informal setting to provide a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks. 410 0$aIdeas Roadshow Conversations 606 $aCoral reef ecology 615 0$aCoral reef ecology. 676 $a574.526367 702 $aBurton$b Howard 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794684903321 996 $aCoral reefs$92029186 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03920nam 22006972 450 001 9910823824203321 005 20151005020622.0 010 $a1-107-23696-7 010 $a1-139-85424-0 010 $a1-107-25480-9 010 $a1-139-84516-0 010 $a1-139-84042-8 010 $a1-139-23595-8 010 $a1-139-84280-3 010 $a1-283-87114-9 010 $a1-139-84161-0 035 $a(CKB)2550000000709619 035 $a(EBL)1057535 035 $a(OCoLC)824455593 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781139235952 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1057535 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1057535 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10634030 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL418364 035 $a(PPN)261295721 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000709619 100 $a20120125d2013|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aIntroduction to the network approximation method for materials modeling /$fLeonid Berlyand, Pennsylvania State University, Alexander G.

This text provides a rigorous, yet accessible introduction to the basic concepts of the network approximation method and provides a unified approach for solving a wide variety of applied problems. As a unifying theme, the authors discuss in detail the transport problem in a system of bodies. They solve the problem of closely placed bodies using the new method of network approximation for PDE with discontinuous coefficients, developed in the 2000s by applied mathematicians in the USA and Russia. Intended for graduate students in applied mathematics and related fields such as physics, chemistry and engineering, the book is also a useful overview of the topic for researchers in these areas. 410 0$aEncyclopedia of mathematics and its applications ;$vv. 148. 606 $aComposite materials$xMathematical models 606 $aGraph theory 606 $aDifferential equations, Partial 606 $aDuality theory (Mathematics) 615 0$aComposite materials$xMathematical models. 615 0$aGraph theory. 615 0$aDifferential equations, Partial. 615 0$aDuality theory (Mathematics) 676 $a620.1/18015115 686 $aMAT000000$2bisacsh 700 $aBerlyand$b Leonid$f1957-$0768261 702 $aKolpakov$b A.
