Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating the discoveries of the new feminist scholarship with the main themes of Western civilization, this much-needed volume finally puts women back into history. From Italy to Kenya, from Britain to Russia, the text examines the impact of religious reformation, political centralization, scientific, industrial, and political revolutions, world markets, and welfare states on women of diverse backgrounds, occupations, and classes. The book's unique format combines three overview chapters of summary and analysis with thirteen original case studies by leading historians of women, enabling students to focus on a national history, a period, or a particular theme. Throughout, these essays explode prevalent myths about women's history--for example, that women have existed in a private sphere apart from the public lives of men, and that individual achievement stands apart from social responsibility--and demonstrate that women have indeed had a profound influence on the course of Western history during the last half millennium. Features: * Innovative and scholarly: It thoroughly integrates the history of women and the history of Western civilization * Comprehensive: It examines women's historical connections to and influence on religion, politics, economics, science, society, and culture throughout the Western world alongside those of men * Self-contained: Three independent overview chapters provide a summary and analysis of women's historical experience in the Western world from 1500 to the present. Thirteen original, concise case studies illustrate the questions, sources, and interpretations developed by leading historians of women today * Easy to use: It covers the period from 1500 to the present in three manageable segments -- 1500 to 1750, 1750 to 1890, 1890 to the present * Flexible: The combination of overview chapters with readings allows instructors to focus on a particular period, nation, or issue

This book was released on 1997 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cohomogeneity of a transformation group ([italic capitals]G, X) is, by definition, the dimension of its orbit space, [italic]c = dim [italic capitals]X, G. We are concerned with the classification of differentiable compact connected Lie transformation groups on (homology) spheres, with [italic]c [less than or equal to symbol] 2, and the main results are summarized in five theorems, A, B, C, D, and E in part I. This paper is part II of the project, and addresses theorems D and E. D examines the orthogonal model from theorem A and orbit structures, while theorem E addresses the existence of "exotic" [italic capital]G-spheres.

Book excerpt: The cohomogeneity of a transformation group ([italic capitals]G, X) is, by definition, the dimension of its orbit space, [italic]c = dim [italic capitals]X, G. By enlarging this simple numerical invariant, but suitably restricted, one gradually increases the complexity of orbit structures of transformation groups. This is a natural program for classical space forms, which traditionally constitute the first canonical family of testing spaces, due to their unique combination of topological simplicity and abundance in varieties of compact differentiable transformation groups.

Book excerpt: The first edition of Connections was chosen by the National Association of Publishers (USA) as the best book in ?Mathematics, Chemistry, and Astronomy ? Professional and Reference? in 1991. It has been a comprehensive reference in design science, bringing together in a single volume material from the areas of proportion in architecture and design, tilings and patterns, polyhedra, and symmetry. The book presents both theory and practice and has more than 750 illustrations. It is suitable for research in a variety of fields and as an aid to teaching a course in the mathematics of design. It has been influential in stimulating the burgeoning interest in the relationship between mathematics and design. In the second edition there are five new sections, supplementary, as well as a new preface describing the advances in design science since the publication of the first edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current events happening around the world, especially the ’humanitarian interventions’ by NATO and the West within the context of the so-called Arab Spring, make the understanding of the role of spheres of influence in international politics absolutely critical. Hast explores the practical implications and applications of this theory, challenging the concept by using historical examples such as suzerainty and colonialism, as well as the emergence of a hierarchical international order. This study further connects the English School tradition, post-war international order, the Cold War and images of Russia with the concept of the sphere of influence to initiate debate and provide a fresh outlook on a concept which has little recent attention.
