Abstract

For a senior undergraduate or first year graduate-level course in Introduction to Topology. Appropriate for a one-semester course on both general and algebraic topology or separate courses treating each topic separately. This text is designed to provide instructors with a convenient single text resource for bridging between general and algebraic topology courses. Two separate, distinct sections (one on general, point set topology, the other on algebraic topology) are each suitable for a one-semester course and are based around the same set of basic, core topics. Optional, independent topics and applications can be studied and developed in depth depending on course needs and preferences.

Abstract

Wanneer onderzoekers ziekten en andere lichamelijke afwijkingen bestuderen, komen ze vaak veel aan de weet over dewetmatigheden van normale levensprocessen. Dat gaat zeker op bij pogingen om de oorzaken van kanker te achterhalen. Dat onderzoek heeft allerlei inzichten opgeleverd over de normale vermeerdering en ontwikkeling van cellen. Deze verhelderingen en de bijdragen daarvan in de strijd tegen kanker vormen de kern van dit uniek boek. Celdeling en kanker is geschreven door twee vooraanstaande en vermaarde biomedische onderzoekers: Harold Varmus en Robert Weinberg. Zij laten zien hoe bepaalde inzichten in het verschijnsel kanker ons begrip van normale biologische functies hebben verhelderd. Wat verstoort nu eigenlijk de fundamentele regelmechanismen van celgroei, en waardoor ontstaat de onbelemmerde, onvoorspelbare woekering die kenmerkend is voor het begin van kanker? In Celdeling en kanker lezen we hoe onderzoekers deze vragen hebben verkend door het ontstaan van kanker, de carcinogenese, tot in de vroegst waarneembare, submicroscopische stadia te volgen. Puttend uit klassieke en recente onderzoeksresultaten, leggen de auteurs uit hoe erfelijke aanleg kan samengaan met andere factoren (zoals zonlicht, straling, tabak of bepaalde virusinfecties) waardoorde genetische code radicaal verandert en een normaal gen in een kankerverwekkend gen verandert. Varmus en Weinberg beschrijven wat er bekend is over de werking van genen die kanker lijken te bevorderen (de oncogenen) en van tumor-suppressorgenen, die het optreden van tumoren juist voorkomen en inperken. De auteurs besluiten met een vooruitblik op mogelijke manieren om kanker te beheersen, gebaseerd op huidige vorderingen in het onderzoek. Dit boek is een verslag van de frontlinies van een van de belangrijkste en boeiendste wetenschappelijke ondernemingen van deze tijd. Door te lezen over het onderzoek naar het ontstaan, de aard en de mechanismen van kanker krijgt men meer inzicht in de natuurlijke ontwikkeling [onvolledig]

Abstract

Can we understand important social issues by studying individual personalities and decisions? Or are societies somehow more than the people in them? Sociologists have long believed that psychology can't explain what happens when people work together in complex modern societies. In contrast, most psychologists and economists believe that if we have an accurate theory of how individuals make choices and act on them, we can explain pretty much everything about social life. Social Emergence takes a new approach to these longstanding questions. Sawyer argues that societies are complex dynamical systems, and that the best way to resolve these debates is by developing the concept of emergence, focusing on multiple levels of analysis - individuals, interactions, and groups - and with a dynamic focus on how social group phenomena emerge from communication processes among individual members. This book makes a unique contribution not only to complex systems research but also to social theory.

Abstract

New York Times Bestseller An NPR Best Book of the Year The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system. Thomas Piketty's bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system. Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. He concludes that the great driver of human progress over the centuries has been the struggle for equality and education and not, as often argued, the assertion of property rights or the pursuit of stability. The new era of extreme inequality that has derailed that progress since the 1980s, he shows, is partly a reaction against communism, but it is also the fruit of ignorance, intellectual specialization, and our drift toward the dead-end politics of identity. Once we understand this, we can begin to envision a more balanced approach to economics and politics. Piketty argues for a new "participatory" socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, social property, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. Capital and Ideology is destined to be one of the indispensable books of our time, a work that will not only help us understand the world, but that will change it.

Abstract

Sustainability has become a buzzword in the last decade, but its full meaning is complex, emerging from a range of different sectors. In practice, it has become the springboard for millions of individuals throughout the world who are forging the fastest and most profound social transformation of our time—the sustainability revolution.The Sustainability Revolution paints a picture of this largely unrecognized phenomenon from the point of view of five major sectors of society:Community (government and international institutions)Commerce (business)Resource extraction (forestry, farming, fisheries etc.)Ecological design (architecture, technology)Biosphere (conservation, biodiversity etc.)The book analyzes sustainability as defined by each of these sectors in terms of the principles, declarations and intentions that have emerged from conferences and publications, and which serve as guidelines for policy decisions and future activities. Common themes are then explored, including:An emphasis on stewardshipThe need for economic restructuring promoting no waste and equitable distributionAn understanding and respect for the principles of natureThe restoration of life formsAn intergenerational perspective on solutionsConcluding that these themes in turn represent a new set of values that define this paradigm shift,The Sustainability Revolution describes innovative sustainable projects and policies in Colombia, Brazil, India and the Netherlands and examines future trends. Complete with a useful resources list, this is the first book of its kind and will appeal to business and government policymakers, academics and all interested in sustainability.
