Universal algebra has enjoyed a particularly explosive growth in the last twenty years, and a student entering the subject now will find a bewildering amount of material to digest. This text is not intended to be encyclopedic; rather, a few themes central to universal algebra have been developed sufficiently to bring the reader to the brink of current research. The choice of topics most certainly reflects the authors' interests. Chapter I contains a brief but substantial introduction to lattices, and to the close connection between complete lattices and closure operators. In particular, everything necessary for the subsequent study of congruence lattices is included. Chapter II develops the most general and fundamental notions of uni versal algebra-these include the results that apply to all types of algebras, such as the homomorphism and isomorphism theorems. Free algebras are discussed in great detail-we use them to derive the existence of simple algebras, the rules of equational logic, and the important Mal'cev conditions. We introduce the notion of classifying a variety by properties of (the lattices of) congruences on members of the variety. Also, the center of an algebra is defined and used to characterize modules (up to polynomial equivalence). In Chapter III we show how neatly two famous results-the refutation of Euler's conjecture on orthogonal Latin squares and Kleene's character ization of languages accepted by finite automata-can be presented using universal algebra. We predict that such "applied universal algebra" will become much more prominent.

A Martian Adventure

We Can Go

By: Ronal S. Burris Jr.

Jason Black dreams of a different life, a life of excitement and adventure like he read about in an old science fiction novel. Jason knows that travel to Mars is possible and thinks that getting to Mars would be like a trip to the Grand Canyon. His father, lost in his own dreams of his dead wife, knows that even the trip to Mars is difficult, if not impossible for ordinary people. He opposes the idea of such a radical change in their humdrum lives. He also faces the conflict of having had the same dream when he was Jasons age; a dream that was unobtainable then. But . . . now We Can Go!

Wrestling Price Guide WWF LJN Wrestling Superstars Edition: Bendies and Thumb Wrestler Sets Included

By: Martin S. Burris,Wrestling Price Guide

You get an actual Book about the history of the WWF LJN Wrestling Superstars Figures as well as a LJN Wrestling Superstars Figures Price Guide combined in one Book. Ever since the 1980s, wrestling figures have ruled the minds and hearts of kids and tweens everywhere. It all started in the 80s with companies such as Mattel, Hasbro, and LJN fighting for market share. The companies partnered with or were supported by shows that served as an advertisement medium for their licensed merchandise. Going with the trend at the time, LJN also entered into a partnership with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), now known as World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE. WWE is an entertainment and media group that organizes and promotes wrestling events. LJN's partnership with WWF gave the world some of the most legendary wrestling figures in history. 8-inch, heavy-duty rubber figures, the WWF LJN figures could withstand the most aggressive imaginary play. This quality of the LJN figures was one of the main reasons they went onto become the most successful wrestling figures of the 1980s. In this price guide, we name our picks for the best wrestling figures among the LJN wrestling superstar figures, LJN bendies figures, and LJN thumb wrestler figures. We will also provide you with the best available prices for all LJN figures. We believe that it can be hard for most people to track the value of LJN wrestling figures as there is no official price guide bible. However, after you've read this book and wrestling price guide, you'll know what LJN wrestling collectibles are available and what their price is. This will ensure that you don't buy a wrestling collectible for more than what it's worth. Additionally, this will help you to get the best possible deal for a collectible you own.

Wrestling Price Guide Figures Edition Volume 1: Over 450 Pictures WWF LJN HASBRO REMCO JAKKS MATTEL and More Figures From 1984-2019

By: Martin S. Burris,Wrestling Price Guides

You get an actual book about the history of Pro Wrestling and Wrestling Figures as well as a Wrestling Figures Price Guide combined in one book. Few would argue that wrestling fans are one of the most fanatical sports fan bases around. Contrary to popular belief, the wrestling fan base isn't limited to the WWE rather it stretches to the WWF, NWA, AWA, WCW, NJPW, AEW and UFC. Today, wrestling is followed by millions, if not billions, of people around the world. Wrestling collectibles such as wrestling cards, figures and memorabilia are a major reason professional wrestling has so many fans. Wrestling figures were among the favorite toys of kids in the 80s and 90s. Many of those kids have maintained their passion for wrestling figures to date even though they're all grown up now.If you're among the above then I'm betting that you go out of your way to find your favorite wrestling figures. Fortunately for you, wrestling figures and other wrestling collectibles are easily available and at affordable prices. However, to get the best deal, you must find out how much each wrestling figure/set is worth. Yes, you have a love for wrestling but that does not mean that you should throw money down the drain. Don't pay hundreds for something that costs less than $20. Most wrestling fans are guilty of doing this. Wrestling fans are extremely passionate about wrestling. They want to buy every wrestling figure and every version of it and why not: some wrestling figures are worth hundreds of dollars. Most collectors know that rare figure and also if that rare figure is just urban legend and doesn't exist.While collecting wrestling figures is fun, there are some cons to it. For instance, the aftermarket of pro wrestling figures isn't as organized as some of the other toy franchises such as Barbie and Star Wars. Tracking value of professional wrestling figures is quite hard as there is no official price guide bible. So, how do you know if a wrestling figure or other collectible is worth a fortune? This is a problem that we hope to solve. After you've read this book or wrestling price guide, you'll know what wrestling collectibles are available and what their price is. This will ensure that you don't buy a wrestling collectible for more than what it's worth. Additionally, this will help you to get the best possible deal for a collectible you own.

Wrestling Price Guide Mixed Martial Arts Edition Volume 1

By: Martin S. Burris,Wrestling Price Guides

You get an actual book about the history of Mixed Martial Arts and MMA Figures as well as a Mixed Martial Arts Figures Price Guide combined in one Book. MMA or Mixed Martial Arts is the hybrid contact sport that combines the best set of techniques from Muay Thai, karate, jujitsu, judo, wrestling, and boxing - just to name a few of the disciplines. Initially, MMA was considered to be a brutal blood sport because of its critics, but it slowly transitioned into a no-holds-barred competition, and it has maintained this persona to date. Nowadays, it has managed to move past 'the fastest-growing spectator sport' title into an internationally recognized and prosperous source of entertainment. You'll find MMA events being sanctioned in so many countries all over the world, along with all 50 states of the US. Action figures aren't only for kids now. Popular shows like 'The Toys that Made Us' illustrated the effect these collectibles have on cultures and people in recent times. This is why it is difficult to deny the fact that adults may drool over MMA action figures just as children would. Now we aren't saying every MMA toy has achieved the status of a collector's item. We're trying to tell you that the ultimate collector's items are those that have managed to become somewhat of a modern cult phenomenon. So much so that there are already multiple fan groups across a wide array of international markets for these collectibles. To be entirely honest with you, toys like Star Wars and G.I. Joe action figures have near-official collectible's lists, but what about UFC devotees and sports fans? Well, we have the brilliant option of selecting fighters whose popularity hasn't really waned with time. With your choice of unique action figures, you can immerse yourself in the world of mixed martial arts - whether traditional or contemporary. If you read on further, you will find some newer action figures of modern fighters alongside those that will always be remembered as legends in the UFC Hall of Fame. Still, a lot of people are going to find these action figures silly because they aren't everyone's cup of tea. Those of you who enjoy expressing their appreciation for this brilliant sport, however, will understand that these figurines are nothing short of true happiness. What some people may see as lumps of plastic are actually sources of joy and nostalgia for the millions of UFC fans out there. All of these people would agree that each of these items qualifies as a great trade off for all the memories that were made on the mats and the octagon.
