The Dynamics of Patterns

By: M. I. Rabinovich,A. B. Ezersky,Patrick D. Weidman

This beautifully illustrated book brings together a remarkable array of pattern-forming phenomena The authors have assembled an impressive collection of striking photographs and computer-generated images, and the book would be worth buying for this alone the Appendix describing key experiments is a highlight. Here the authors outline the historical development of experiments in parametrically-excited patterns, thermal convection and diffusive chemical reactions." UK Nonlinear News, 2002

Introduction to Criminal Justice

By: Patrick R. Anderson,Donald J. Newman

The fifth edition of this introductory Criminal Justice text. The contents have been pared down to five parts and sixteen chapters to best explain the intricacies of criminal justice policy and practice. The book has been thoroughly updated by Patrick Anderson to cover developments in policing, corrections, the war on drugs, and to include introductory cases on field practice, the criminal justice system in practice, the ideological framework of crime control, and discussions of criminological theory and crime punishment.

?lvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (Three-Volume Set)

By: Rolena Adorno,Patrick Charles Pautz

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca's account of the doomed Narváez expedition to the vast unexplored lands beyond the northern frontier of New Spain has long been heralded as the quintessential tale of the European confronting the wilderness of North America and its native inhabitants for the first time. After living captive among native peoples of the present-day Texas coast for almost six years, Cabeza de Vaca traveled overland through present-day western Texas and northern Mexico until being reunited with his countrymen near the Pacific coast. His account offers an isolated glimpse of areas of Gulf coastal Texas and northeastern Mexico that would not be visited again by Europeans for over 150 years and is the earliest authentic eyewitness description of the North American bison. Volume 1 presents the first modern edition of Cabeza de Vaca's original 1542 relación and a new, annotated, facing-page English translation. It concludes with a newly researched study of Cabeza de Vaca's life. Volume 2 analyzes the narrative in discrete segments, putting into context Cabeza de Vaca's descriptions of the landscape, ecology, and peoples he encountered. It also includes new research into the preparations of Narváez's expedition in Spain and a fresh study of the lives and fates of Cabeza de Vaca's three surviving companions. Volume 3 considers the literary and historical contexts of Cabeza de Vaca's relación. The literary inquiry examines the work's creation, publication history, and literary and cultural legacy from the sixteenth century to the present. The historical analysis presents new studies of Spanish exploration in the Gulf of Mexico (1508-28), Spanish speculation on and exploration of the South Sea (1502-39), and Nuño de Guzmán's conquest of Nueva Galicia (1530-31).

The Dynamics Of Pattern

By: Alexander B Ezersky,Mikhail I Rabinovich,Patrick D Weidman

Spirals, vortices, crystalline lattices, and other attractive patterns are prevalent in Nature. How do such beautiful patterns appear from the initial chaos? What universal dynamical rules are responsible for their formation? What is the dynamical origin of spatial disorder in nonequilibrium media? Based on the many visual experiments in physics, hydrodynamics, chemistry, and biology, this invaluable book answers those and related intriguing questions. The mathematical models presented for the dynamical theory of pattern formation are nonlinear partial differential equations. The corresponding theory is not so accessible to a wide audience. Consequently, the authors have made every attempt to synthesize long and complex mathematical calculations to exhibit the underlying physics. The book will be useful for final year undergraduates, but is primarily aimed at graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and others interested in the puzzling phenomena of pattern formation.
