This high-level treatment by a noted mathematician considers one-dimensional singular integral equations involving Cauchy principal values. Intended for graduate students and professionals, its coverage includes such topics as the Hölder condition, Hilbert and Riemann-Hilbert problems, the Dirichlet problem, inversion formulas for arcs, and many other areas. 1992 edition.

This monograph by N. 1. Muskhelishvili systematically acquaints the reader with the mathematical apparatus of Cauchy type integrals and singular integral equations, jn the study of which the author and his students took active interest. A considerable part of the book is devoted to applications to the solution of numerous problems of potential theory. the theory of elasticity and other sections of mathematieal physics.

The bo0k is intended for postgraduates and students of advanced courses of the physico-mathematical faculties, and likewis~ for research engineers.

It is my sincere hope that students, professional archaeologists, archaeological researchers and all people fascinated by the potential for satellite remote sensing in archaeology will find this book useful. It is, more than anything else, a product of my thinking back to my graduate student days, and what I wish had existed then to help me get started with my work.

Before I proceed, it is important for me to explain why I have chosen to write this book in the first place. The use of satellite imagery in archaeology is a topic about which I am passionate, having spent eight years developing methods for archaeological site location in different regions of Egypt (Sinai, the Delta, and Nile Valley), teaching remote sensing courses, and (two years ago) starting a remote sensing laboratory. When I started doing research for a then undergraduate research paper in an introductory remote sensing course, I was struck by how little information could be found for general satellite remote sensing applications in archaeology. This became more apparent during my PhD years. Few papers existed that described how remote sensing could be applied to Egyptian archaeology, and no papers existed for the use of satellite remote sensing in the Nile Valley floodplain or Delta. I, quite literally, had to make it up as I went along, with all the expected pitfalls (significant trial and numerous errors) of doing something that had never been done before. Fortunately, my colleagues had written a number of excellent papers on satellite archaeology in other regions of the world, and I could rely on them for specific discussion points. Fieldwork proved to be something else entirely. Large-scale survey to locate previously unknown archaeological sites is not a significant part of Egyptian archaeology (Parcak 2008), and I had to develop a method for recording sites found during my remote sensing analysis.

Professional PHP6 was written for PHP developers who are interested in expanding and leveraging their development skills by taking advantage of the features of the sixth major release. This demographic is not set in stone, of course, because experienced .NET and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) developers should catch on quickly, too. However, inexperienced PHP developers (or those with no software development experience) are highly encouraged to start with Beginning PHP6, Apache, MySQL 6 Web Development (Wiley, 2009).

The beauty of PHP is its accessibility and shallow learning curve. Virtually anyone with basic computing knowledge can pick it up and start putting together simple, dynamic Web sites. Indeed, it is qualities like these that have led to PHP powering more than 20 million Web sites across the globe, a figure that is growing by the thousands every day. However, that very accessibility has led to a lack of uniformity in development approach, and perhaps an absence of the application of industry - standard best practices. Put simply, a lot of PHP code isn ’ t that great .

As a result, this book ventures beyond mere syntax and is designed to help you deliver better - quality software in a shorter amount of time. If you ’ ve ever been told not to use PHP because it ’ s “ not enterprise grade, ” then this book is for you, because you ’ re about to learn how to prove such doubters wrong. Much of what you ’ ll learn (although written with PHP6 in mind) is not limited to the PHP language. Many of the development techniques are directly translatable into other traditional high - level languages, and the skills you ’ ll learn here will follow you the rest of your career.

For over a century, epic cinema has significantly shaped popular interest in Roman history and culture. The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964), the last of the silver-screen epics about ancient Rome before Gladiator, stands out as the only epic that attempted, and largely succeeded, to show the greatness of Roman civilization rather than to condemn it for luxury, debauchery, religious persecution, and imperialism.

The essays collected in this book present the first comprehensive appreciation of The Fall of the Roman Empire from historical, historiographical, and cinematic perspectives. The book also provides the principal classical sources on the period. It is a companion to Gladiator: Film and History (Blackwell, 2004) and Spartacus: Film and History (Blackwell, 2007) and completes a triad of scholarly studies on Hollywood’s greatest films about Roman history.

For all the discussion in the media about creationism and 'Intelligent Design', virtually nothing has been said about the evidence in question - the evidence for evolution by natural selection. Yet, as this succinct and important book shows, that evidence is vast, varied, and magnificent, and drawn from many disparate fields of science. The very latest research is uncovering a stream of evidence revealing evolution in action - from the actual observation of a species splitting into two, to new fossil discoveries, to the deciphering of the evidence stored in our genome. Why Evolution is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, palaeontology, geology, molecular biology, anatomy, and development to demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the processes first proposed by Darwin. It is a crisp, lucid, and accessible statement that will leave no one with an open mind in any doubt about the truth of evolution.

Scientology is arguably the most persistently controversial of all contemporary New Religious Movements. The Church of Scientology has been involved in battles over tax issues, a ten-year conflict with the Food and Drug Administration, extended turmoil with a number of European governments, and has even been subjected to FBI raids in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.

Negative publicity, however, has not prevented the Church from experiencing remarkably steady growth. Official national census figures indicate that the number of Scientologists grew significantly in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia throughout the 1990s, and studies show that the Church gained 10,000 members in the United States during that decade. This has led Scientology to begin referring to itself as "The World's Fastest Growing Religion." But despite its highly public profile, recently enhanced by celebrity spokespersons like Tom Cruise and Isaac Hayes, little has been published about the Church, its history, theology, and mission.

The present volume brings together an international group of top scholars on New Religious Movements to offer an extensive and even-handed overview and analysis of all of these aspects of Scientology, including the controversies to which it continues to give rise. The book's six parts take a detailed look at the Church through its similarities to and differences from other religions, conflicts with various groups, overseas missions, and its theology, history, and sociology.

James R. Lewis has assembled an unusually comprehensive anthology, incorporating a wide range of different approaches. This volume is a welcome and long-overdue resource for scholars, students, and others interested in this controversial and little-understood religious movement.
