Changing Planet, Changing Health

How the Climate Crisis Threatens Our Health and What We Can Do about It

By: Paul R. Epstein,Dan Ferber

Spotlights the threats of global warming and offers a systems approach for possible treatments. Decades spent as a physician and public health scientist have allowed Dr. Epstein to examine and now comment on the dynamics of global politics, climate change, and global health. Together with journalist Dan Ferber, he expresses a fundamental need for communities (of all scales) and industries (of all kinds) to reach together for a low-carbon economy. They make their argument by combining personal accounts with accurate histories and industry case studies. What enfolds is a prescriptive narrative for repairing an ailing planet"--Provided by publisher.

Freedom and Growth

The Rise of States and Markets in Europe, 1300-1750

By: Stephan R. Epstein

This book examines whether different kinds of 'freedoms' (absolutist, parliamentary and republican) caused different economic outcomes, and shows the effect of different political regimes on long term development.

An Introduction to Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics

Oscillations, Waves, Patterns, and Chaos

By: Irving R. Epstein,John A. Pojman

Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes, including the regulation of the heart, these oscillations are being studied by a diverse group across the sciences. This book is the first introduction to nonlinear chemical dynamics written specifically for chemists. It covers oscillating reactions, chaos, and chemical pattern formation, and includes numerous practical suggestions on reactor design, data analysis, and computer simulations. Assuming only an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the book is an ideal starting point for research in the field. The book begins with a brief history of nonlinear chemical dynamics and a review of the basic mathematics and chemistry. The authors then provide an extensive overview of nonlinear dynamics, starting with the flow reactor and moving on to a detailed discussion of chemical oscillators. Throughout the authors emphasize the chemical mechanistic basis for self-organization. The overview is followed by a series of chapters on more advanced topics, including complex oscillations, biological systems, polymers, interactions between fields and waves, and Turing patterns. Underscoring the hands-on nature of the material, the book concludes with a series of classroom-tested demonstrations and experiments appropriate for an undergraduate laboratory.

Progress in Behavioral Studies

Volume 1

By: A. J. Brownstein,R. Epstein,P. Harzem

Advancing the study of behavior and its humane applications in society, this book explores behavioral studies and the analysis of behavior. Progress in Behavioral Studies outlines the contributions of behavioral science to education, behavioral medicine, and other related disciplines. Individual papers report on progress made through the cautious introduction of quantitative formulations into analysis, the increased interchange of analysis with other disciplines such as economics and ethology, and the continuation of behavioral science as a basis for understanding more complex phenomena.

Emergency Management and Social Intelligence

A Comprehensive All-Hazards Approach

By: Charna R. Epstein,Ameya Pawar,Scott. C. Simon

For effective preparedness, emergency managers must comprehend how a disaster impacts not only the physical infrastructure of the affected community but also the population. They must understand how the people interact with one another, how they interact with government, and how they react to the disaster event. In other words, they must have socia
