Stabbed in the Back: Confronting Back Pain in an Overtreated Society

Stabbed in the Back: Confronting Back Pain in an Overtreated Society
The University of North Carolina Press | 2009-11-15 | ISBN: 0807833487 | 224 pages | PDF | 1.8 MB

Nortin Hadler knows backaches. For more than three decades as a physician and medical researcher, he has studied the experience of low back pain in people who are otherwise healthy. Hadler terms the low back pain that everyone suffers at one time or another "regional back pain." In this book, he addresses the history and treatment of the ailment with the healthy skepticism that has become his trademark, taking the "Hadlerian" approach to backaches and the backache treatment industry in order to separate the helpful from the hype.

Superconductivity: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

Superconductivity: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Publisher: University , USA | ISBN: 019954090X | edition 2009 | PDF | 144 pages | 1 mb

Superconductivity--the flow of electric current without resistance in certain materials as temperatures near absolute zero--is one of the greatest discoveries of 20th century physics, but it can seem impenetrable to those who lack a solid scientific background. Outlining the fascinating history of how superconductivity was discovered, and the race to understand its many mysterious and counter-intuitive phenomena, Stephen Blundell explains in accessible terms the theories that have been developed to explain it, and how they have influenced other areas of science, including the Higgs boson of particle physics and ideas about the early Universe. This Very Short Introduction examines the many strange phenomena observed in superconducting materials, the latest developments in high-temperature superconductivity, the potential of superconductivity to revolutionize the physics and technology of the future, and much more. It is a fascinating detective story, offering invaluable insights into some of the deepest and most beautiful ideas in physics today.

Defending Hypatia: Ramus, Savile, and the Renaissance Rediscovery of Mathematical History (Archimedes)

Defending Hypatia: Ramus, Savile, and the Renaissance Rediscovery of Mathematical History (Archimedes)
Springer | 2010-05-21 | ISBN: 9048135419 | 700 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Why should mathematics, the purest of sciences, have a history? Medieval mathematicians took little interest in the history of their discipline. Yet in the Renaissance the history of mathematics flourished. This book explores how Renaissance scholars recovered and reconstructed the origins of mathematics by tracing its invention in prehistoric Antiquity, its development by the Greeks, and its transmission to modern Europe via the works of Euclid, Theon and Proclus. The principal architects of this story -- the French philosopher and University of Paris reformer Peter Ramus, and his critic, the young Oxford astronomy lecturer Henry Savile – worked out diametrically opposed models for the development of the mathematical arts, models of historical progress and decline which mirrored each scholar’s larger convictions about the nature of mathematical thinking, the purpose of the modern university, and the potential of the human mind. In their hands, the obscure story of mathematical history became a site of contention over some of the most pressing philosophical and pedagogical debates of the sixteenth century.

Chaotic Behaviour of Deterministic Dissipative Systems (Cambridge Nonlinear Science S.)

Chaotic Behaviour of Deterministic Dissipative Systems (Cambridge Nonlinear Science S.)
Cambridge University Press | August 21 2008 | 380 pages | English | ISBN : 0521438306,0521438308 | PDF | 2.3MB

Product Description:
Surveying both theoretical and experimental aspects of chaotic behavior, this book presents chaos as a model for many seemingly random processes in nature. Basic notions from the theory of dynamical systems, bifurcation theory and the properties of chaotic solutions are then described and illustrated by examples. A review of numerical methods used both in studies of mathematical models and in the interpretation of experimental data is also provided. In addition, an extensive survey of experimental observation of chaotic behavior and methods of its analysis are used to stress universal features of the phenomenon.

The New Institutionalism in Education

The New Institutionalism in Education
State University of New York Press | June 2007 | 234 pages | English | ISBN : 0791469069,0791469064 | PDF | 1.2MB

The New Institutionalism in Education brings together leading academics to explore the ongoing changes in K-12 and higher education in both the United States and abroad. The contributors show that current educational trends--including the increased globalization of education, the growing emphasis on educational markets and school choice, the rise of accountability systems, and the persistent influence of business groups like textbook manufacturers and test makers on educational policy--can best be understood when observed through an institutional lens. Because schools and universities are organizations that are stabilized by deeply institutionalized rules, they are subject to the enduring problem of substantive educational reform. This book gives researchers and policy analysts conceptual tools and empirical assessments to gauge the possibilities for institutional reform and innovation.
