Elements of Quantum Optics

By: Pierre Meystre,Murray Sargent

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

With a new chapter on quantum entanglement and quantum information, as well as added discussions of the quantum beam splitter, electromagnetically induced transparency, slow light and the input-output formalism, this fourth edition of the brilliant work on quantum optics has been much updated. It still gives a self-contained and broad coverage of the basic elements necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum optics, including a review of basic quantum mechanics and pedagogical introductions to system-reservoir interactions and to second quantization. The text reveals the close connection between many seemingly unrelated topics, such as probe absorption, four-wave mixing, optical instabilities, resonance fluorescence and squeezing.

Inventing Fear of Crime

Inventing Fear of Crime

By: Murray Lee

Over the past four decades the fear of crime has become an increasingly significant concern for criminologists, victimologists, policy makers, politicians, police, the media and the general public. For many practitioners reducing fear of crime has become almost as important an issue as reducing crime itself. The identification of fear of crime as a serious policy problem has given rise to a massive amount of research activity, political discussion and intellectual debate. Despite this activity, actually reducing levels of fear of crime has proved difficult. Even in recent years when many western nations have experienced reductions in the levels of reported crime, fear of crime has often proven intractable. The result has been the development of what amounts to a fear of crime industry. Previous studies have identified conceptual challenges, theoretical cul-de-sacs and methodological problems with the use of the concept fear of crime. Yet it has endured as both an organizing principal for a body of research and a term to describe a social malady. This provocative, wide ranging book asks how and why fear of crime retains this cultural, political and social scientific currency despite concerted criticism of its utility? It subjects the concept to rigorous critical scrutiny taking examples from the UK, North America and Australia. Part One of Inventing Fear of Crime traces the historical emergence of the fear of crime concept, while Part Two addresses the issue of fear of crime and political rationality, and analyses fear of crime as a tactic or technique of government. This book will be essential reading on one of the key issues in government and politics in contemporary society.

Policing and Media

Public Relations, Simulations and Communications

By: Murray Lee,Alyce McGovern

This book examines the relationship between police, media and the public and analyses the shifting techniques and technologies through which they communicate. In a critical discussion of contemporary and emerging modes of mediatized police work, Lee and McGovern demonstrate how the police engage with the public through a fluid and quickly expanding assemblage of communications and information technologies. Policing and Media explores the rationalities that are driving police/media relations and asks; how these relationships differ (or not) from the ways they have operated historically; what new technologies are influencing and being deployed by policing organizations and police public relations professionals and why; how operational policing is shaping and being shaped by new technologies of communication; and what forms of resistance are evident to the manufacture of preferred images of police. The authors suggest that new forms of simulated and hyper real policing using platforms such as social media and reality television are increasingly positioning police organisations as media organisations, and in some cases enabling police to bypass the traditional media altogether. The book is informed by empirical research spanning ten years in this field and includes chapters on journalism and police, policing and social media, policing and reality television, and policing resistances. It will be of interest to those researching and teaching in the fields of Criminology, Policing and Media, as well as police and media professionals.

Lingering Shadows

By: Dr. Anne R. Murray Ed.D.

Tall Georgia pines sway in the gentle breeze. A small creek winds among the azaleas in the spring. A young deer raises his head listening. This is the atmosphere in which the author creates stories for you to enjoy. For generations her family members have lived on the land and written personal journals and family happenings. Writing and history have been important in their lives. Dr. Murray takes the book to a whole different level. Life takes a different turn as the events unravel throughout the story. Lingering Shadows is a creation of post-Civil War days. It is the sequel of Glimpses of the Past; Heritage of the Old South, a story created before and during Civil War days. After the main character, Benjamin Green, comes home from the war, he is met with various happenings. Tragedy, determination, love of family and land are entailed in this story. - Janice E. Wright

Lecture Notes in Data Mining

By: Michael W. Berry,Murray Browne

The continual explosion of information technology and the need for better data collection and management methods has made data mining an even more relevant topic of study. Books on data mining tend to be either broad and introductory or focus on some very specific technical aspect of the field. This book is a series of seventeen edited OC student-authored lecturesOCO which explore in depth the core of data mining (classification, clustering and association rules) by offering overviews that include both analysis and insight. The initial chapters lay a framework of data mining techniques by explaining some of the basics such as applications of Bayes Theorem, similarity measures, and decision trees. Before focusing on the pillars of classification, clustering and association rules, the book also considers alternative candidates such as point estimation and genetic algorithms. The book''s discussion of classification includes an introduction to decision tree algorithms, rule-based algorithms (a popular alternative to decision trees) and distance-based algorithms. Five of the lecture-chapters are devoted to the concept of clustering or unsupervised classification. The functionality of hierarchical and partitional clustering algorithms is also covered as well as the efficient and scalable clustering algorithms used in large databases. The concept of association rules in terms of basic algorithms, parallel and distributive algorithms and advanced measures that help determine the value of association rules are discussed. The final chapter discusses algorithms for spatial data mining. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Point Estimation Algorithms (397 KB). Contents: Point Estimation Algorithms; Applications of Bayes Theorem; Similarity Measures; Decision Trees; Genetic Algorithms; Classification: Distance Based Algorithms; Decision Tree-Based Algorithms; Covering (Rule-Based) Algorithms; Clustering: An Overview; Clustering Hierarchical Algorithms; Clustering Partitional Algorithms; Clustering: Large Databases; Clustering Categorical Attributes; Association Rules: An Overview; Association Rules: Parallel and Distributed Algorithms; Association Rules: Advanced Techniques and Measures; Spatial Mining: Techniques and Algorithms. Readership: An introductory data mining textbook or a technical data mining book for an upper level undergraduate or graduate level course.

Human Diversity

The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class

Human Diversity

The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class

By: Charles Murray

All people are equal but, as Human Diversity explores, all groups of people are not the same -- a fascinating investigation of the genetics and neuroscience of human differences. The thesis of Human Diversity is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: - Gender is a social construct. - Race is a social construct. - Class is a function of privilege. The problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in. It is not a story to be feared. "There are no monsters in the closet," Murray writes, "no dread doors we must fear opening." But it is a story that needs telling. Human Diversity does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity.

Losing Ground (10th Anniversary Edition)

American Social Policy, 1950-1980

By: Charles Murray

This classic book serves as a starting point for any serious discussion of welfare reform. Losing Ground argues that the ambitious social programs of the1960s and 1970s actually made matters worse for its supposed beneficiaries, the poor and minorities. Charles Murray startled readers by recommending that we abolish welfare reform, but his position launched a debate culminating in President Clinton's proposal “to end welfare as we know it.”
