The life and work of the great Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) have proved endlessly fascinating for generations. In Leonardo da Vinci, Sherwin Nuland completes his 20-year quest to understand this unlettered man. The author finds clues to da Vinci’s insatiable curiosity in his art, relationships, and scientific studies — as well as in a vast quantity of notes that became widely known in the 20th century. National Book Award winner Nuland "distills one of the greatest minds ever into its pure essence . . . truly awe-inspiring" ("Time"). Illustrations.
This book proposes a novel theoretical framework of "interactive arming" in order to explain armament dynamics in contemporary Asia.Frequently, the modernisation of contemporary naval forces in Asia is described as an "arms race," with the underlying assumption being that weapons acquisitions and increases in defence expenditure are competitive and bilateral and due to conflicting purposes or mutual fears. This book argues that the concept of an arms race is an unsuitable one for explaining contemporary military modernisation in 21st-century Asia. Instead, it proposes a novel and innovative concept of "interactive arming" and argues that what drives conflict is political rivalry, not weapons acquisitions. Instead of perceiving arming as abnormal behaviour, the book views arming as a natural strategic behaviour of states and military modernisation as a basic requirement for a state’s ability to survive. This book will be of much interest to students of Asian security, strategic studies and international relations in general.

A writer renowned for his insight into the mysteries of the body now gives us a lambent and profoundly moving book about the mysteries of family. At its center lies Sherwin Nuland's Rembrandtesque portrait of his father, Meyer Nudelman, a Jewish garment worker who came to America in the early years of the last century but remained an eternal outsider. Awkward in speech and movement, broken by the premature deaths of a wife and child, Meyer ruled his youngest son with a regime of rage, dependency, and helpless love that outlasted his death. In evoking their relationship, Nuland also summons up the warmth and claustrophobia of a vanished immigrant New York, a world that impelled its children toward success yet made them feel like traitors for leaving it behind. Full of feeling and unwavering observation, Lost in America deserves a place alongside such classics as Patrimony and Call It Sleep.

This text covers the measurement and prediction of the reliability behaviour of systems of physical items. The six techniques covered are: probability theory; distributional statistics; Markov methods; fault and event trees; theory of renewal processes; and directional graph theory. This book relates all these methods to one another and to their applications. The authors are engineers rather than statisticians and take a practitioner's view of the degree of rigour required to "prove" mathematical results. The aim is to make each technique and its limitations clear to working engineers, and every effort has been made to keep the mathematical explanations as simple as possible. Nevertheless some prior knowledge of algebra, calculus, probability and statistics is assumed, to about the level usually reached in European courses for Bachelor's degrees in engineering. The book should be useful to reliability, systems and design engineers in industry as well as graduate students and educators in all branches of engineering.
