From Nucleons to Nucleus: Concepts of Microscopic Nuclear Theory
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 648 | 2007-03 | ISBN: 3540488596 | PDF | 4 MB

From Nucleons to Nucleus deals with single-particle and collective features of spherical nuclei. Each nuclear model is introduced and derived in detail. The formalism is then applied to light and medium-heavy nuclei in worked-out examples, and finally the acquired skills are strengthened by a wide selection of exercises, many relating the models to experimental data. For consistency, the surface delta interaction is used in all applications requiring configuration mixing.

Nuclear properties are discussed using particles, holes and quasiparticles. A large number of matrix elements of standard operators have been tabulated for reference. From Nucleons to Nucleus is based on lectures on nuclear physics given by the author. It’s main scope is thus to serve as a textbook for advanced students. But also researchers will appreciate it as well-balanced reference to theoretical nuclear physics.

Wiley | 1986-03 | ISBN: 0471081868 | 544 pages | PDF | 17,7 MB

Recursive Estimation and Control for Stochastic Systems Han-Fu Chen This self-contained volume presents both the discrete-time and continuous-time systems, and incorporates not only well-known results in these fields but also many of the latest research findings.

It shows how to analyze the convergence of recursive estimates through a combination of the probabilistic and ordinary differential equation methods and establishes the connection between the Gauss-Markov estimate and the Kalman filter through stochastic observability, and more. 1985 (0 471-81566-7) 378 pp. Nonparametric Density Estimation The L1 View Luc Devroye and Laszlo Gyorfi The first systematic, single-source examination that develops from first principles the “natural” theory for density estimation and shows why the classical L2 theory masks some fundamental properties of density estimates. Linking different subareas of statistics, including simulation, pattern recognition, detection theory, and minimax theory, it shows how to construct, use, and analyze density estimates. Relevant recent literature is tied in with the classical works of Parzen, Rosenblatt, and others. 1985 (0 471-81646-9) 368 pp. Elements of Applied Stochastic Processes Second Edition U. Narayan Bhat An applied introduction to stochastic models, this expanded and revised account develops basic concepts and techniques and applies them to problems arising in queueing, reliability, inventory and computer communications, social and behavioral processes, business management, and time series analysis.

Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy: 750-500 BCE
Routledge | 144 pages | 1993 | ISBN: 041509500X | PDF | 1.4 mb

Ancient prophecy was not confined to Israel, yet the phenomenon of prophetic poetry as it developed there was unique. The impact of this poetry on civilisation is incalculable, though its origins and motives largely remain mysterious. Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy shows that this poetry is inseparable from the empires which determined the history of the ancient Near East and the fate of Israel and Judah from the late 8th century to the end of the 6th century BCE - first Assyria, then Babylonia, and finally Persia.

Each empire had its own characters and motives and stimulated a distinct wave of prophecy, led in turn by Isaiah ben Amos, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and the Second Isaiah. Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is an historical interpretation and an anthology of prophetic poetry which uses recent research on imperialism and creativity to produce a radically new interpretation of the biblical prophets. Over 3 dozen outstanding poems and fragments in new translation from the Hebrew Bible are arranged in a running narrative starting from the late 8th century BCE, until the late 6th century BCE. Among the highlights are Song of a Vineyard, Nahum on the fall of Nineveh and poems n the suffering servant. Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is an exciting, kaleidoscopic presentation of biblical prophecy showing the inextricability of the poetry from the political and military upheavals which occurred at the same time in the ancient Near East.

Emperors and Gladiators
Routledge | 264 pages | 1992 | ISBN: 041500005X | PDF | 2 mb

Of all aspects of Roman culture, the gladiatorial contests for which the Romans built their amphitheatres are at once the most fascinating and the most difficult for us to come to terms with. Since antiquity, a number of theories have been put forward to explain their importance.

They have been seen as sacrifices to the gods or, at funerals, to the souls of the deceased; as a mechanism for introducing and inuring young Romans to the horrors of fighting; and as a substitute for the warfare which the Roman people were no longer directly involved in after the emperors imposed peace in the first two centuries A.D.

Thomas Wiedemann considers why these theories cannot by themselves explain the importance of the ‘Games,’ their association with the emperors, and their decline as the Roman world became Christian. He begins by examining the role of public ceremonies in the context of competition with the Roman elite, as public demonstrations both of the power of the Roman community as a whole, and of the ‘virtue’ of a particular public figure; and it ends by examining how emperors, often seeking to identify themselves with the civilising hero Hercules, used the games in the amphitheatre to advertise the legitimacy of their government. In between, gladiatorial duels are considered in the context of the destruction of wild beasts and of criminals in the arena; in comparison with the Romans’ natural and human enemies, gladiators symbolised the possibility of re-integration into Roman society by proving that they possessed the most crucial Roman virtue, fighting ability. Gladiators were ‘marginal’ ambivalent figures, and therefore heavily criticised by many ancient writers. But these objections were not humanitarian in any modern sense. When Christian Romans rejected gladiatorial games, it was because they were a rival representation of the possibility of resurrection: Easter and Christmas replaced gladiators Emperors and Gladiators is fully illustrated and it draws on the latest epigraphical evidence in order to present an original and comprehensive study of the changing significance of gladiatorial contests to Roman culture.

Gender, Health and Welfare
Routledge | 252 pages | 1998 | ISBN: 0415187001 | PDF |1.6 mb

Gender, Health and Welfare provides a stimulating introduction to an historical era which saw a huge expansion in welfare services, both state and voluntary, and during which women emerged as significant `consumers’ and `providers’ of various measures.

The themes covered in this book include: a critical examination of how welfare policies in both England and Japan crucially affected women’s life chances; a study of the relationship between poverty, health and gender from 1870 to the inauguration of the National Health Service; case studies of the housing reformer, Octavia Hill and the prominent female reformer, Louisa Twining; and an examination of the issue of birth control in post-World War One.

Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective
Routledge | 2006-12-05 | ISBN: 0415400368 | PDF | Pages: 276 | 1.77 MB

The comparative dimension is, all too often, missing from writing on Israeli history. Zionist ideology restricts comparisons between Zionism and other forms of nationalism. Also, Zionist claims to have initiated a radical rupture with the Jewish past mask continuities between Israel and the experiences of modern diaspora Jewry. Over the past two decades, Israeli historiography has become more critical, and a number of books have presented Israel as a variant of settler-colonialist societies such as the United States and South Africa.

The framework of continuity across space commands attention, but it lacks nuance and is often built upon politicized foundations. Moreover, this framework neglects areas of continuity across time, between Israel and the Jewish past.

Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective seeks to address these issues. The essays in this book combine a variety of comparative schemes, both internal to Jewish civilization and extending throughout the world. These frameworks include:

· modern Jewish society, politics and culture
· historical consciousness in the 20th-century western world, and the matrix of Western colonialism,
· Third World anti-colonialism and post-colonial state-building.

The book’s underlying theme is the need to study Israeli history within multiple and overlapping comparative frameworks. The benefit of comparison is not limited to a richer understanding of the circumstances under which Israel was born and has developed. Rather, an open-ended, comparative approach offers a useful means of correcting the biases found in so much scholarship on Israel, be it sympathetic or hostile. Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective will appeal to scholars and students with research interests in Middle East studies and Israeli history.

God, Humanity, and History: The Hebrew First Crusade Chronicles
University of California Press | 272 pages | 2000 | ISBN: 0520221273 | PDF | 1.2 mb

Although closely focused on the remarkable Hebrew First-Crusade narratives, Robert Chazan’s new interpretation of these texts is anything but narrow, as his title, God, Humanity, and History, strongly suggests. The three surviving Hebrew accounts of the crusaders’ devastating assaults on Rhineland Jewish communities during the spring of 1096 have been examined at length, but only now can we appreciate the extent to which they represent their turbulent times.

After a close analysis of the texts themselves, Chazan addresses the objectives of the three narratives. He compares these accounts with earlier Jewish history writing and with contemporary crusade historiography. It is in their disjuncture with past forms of Jewish historical narration and their amazing parallels with Latin crusade narratives that the Hebrew narratives are most revealing. We see how they reflect the embeddedness of early Ashkenazic Jewry in the vibrant atmosphere of late-eleventh- and early-twelfth-century northern Europe.

Bound for Freedom: Black Los Angeles in Jim Crow America (George Gund Foundation Imprint in African American Studies)
University of California Press | 485 pages | 2005 | ISBN: 0520239199 | PDF | 2 mb

Paul Bontemps decided to move his family to Los Angeles from Louisiana in 1906 on the day he finally submitted to a strictly enforced Southern custom–he stepped off the sidewalk to allow white men who had just insulted him to pass by. Friends of the Bontemps family, like many others beckoning their loved ones West, had written that Los Angeles was “a city called heaven” for people of color. But just how free was Southern California for African Americans?

This splendid history, at once sweeping in its historical reach and intimate in its evocation of everyday life, is the first full account of Los Angeles’s black community in the half century before World War II. Filled with moving human drama, it brings alive a time and place largely ignored by historians until now, detailing African American community life and political activism during the city’s transformation from small town to sprawling metropolis.
Writing with a novelist’s sensitivity to language and drawing from fresh historical research, Douglas Flamming takes us from Reconstruction to the Jim Crow era, through the Great Migration, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and the build-up to World War II. Along the way, he offers rich descriptions of the community and its middle-class leadership, the women who were front and center with men in the battle against racism in the American West.
In addition to drawing a vivid portrait of a little-known era, Flamming shows that the history of race in Los Angeles is crucial for our understanding of race in America. The civil rights activism in Los Angeles laid the foundation for critical developments in the second half of the century that continue to influence us to this day.
