Arts of the Ancient Americas

Arts of the Ancient Americas

Dorie Reents-Budet; Dennis Carr; Darcy Kuronen; Pamela A. Parmal; Michael Suing; Jennifer M. Swope

Museum of Fine Arts,Boston
2019
nidottu
An introduction to the refined, spiritually significant, and often dazzling arts produced by the varied cultures of a cradle of world civilization The ancient cultures of the Americas comprise a vast array of societies, whose peoples spoke thousands of languages and dialects, developed distinctive political and economic systems, and followed myriad spiritual practices. The territory stretching from northern Mexico to Chile is one of six world regions where ancient civilizations arose – joining Egypt, the Near East and Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, North China and Southeast Asia. The intellectual, architectural and artistic accomplishments of the ancient American peoples rival those of the others, including fully developed writing systems, the tallest structures in the western hemisphere until the 20th century, and textiles and painted ceramics of unsurpassed complexity and refinement. The collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is particularly strong in Maya ceramics, early Andean textiles, and gold objects from Panama and Colombia, and throughout its history the Museum has been at the forefront in presenting pre- Columbian artifacts as part of art history rather than in the context of natural history or archaeology. The artworks featured in this volume exemplify the aesthetics and supreme craftsmanship of the peoples of the ancient Americas in pictorial pottery, sumptuous gold body adornments and luxury textiles. Together they introduce the sophistication, creativity and variety of the cultures of the Western Hemisphere’s cradle of civilization.

Drug Abuse and Antisocial Behavior

Drug Abuse and Antisocial Behavior

Christopher P. Salas-Wright; Michael G. Vaughn; Jennifer M. Reingle González

Palgrave Macmillan
2017
sidottu
This book is rooted in the conviction that human biology plays a critical role in understanding drug abuse and antisocial behavior. In the same breath, however, it fundamentally affirms the importance of the many social and environmental factors that influence our behavior across the life course. The study begins with an overview of the scope of the problem of drug abuse and crime, and an examination of how these problems often feed into one another. Building upon that foundation, the focus shifts to a review of cutting-edge research on the genetics and neurobiology of addiction and antisocial behavior across the developmental periods of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. An exploration of the implications of a biosocial life course approach in terms of drug abuse prevention, and an examination of what lies ahead for drug abuse and criminological research conclude this detailed and timely book. Policy makers, practitioners and scholars of criminology and sociology will find this of particular interest.

Delegate Apportionment in the US Presidential Primaries

Delegate Apportionment in the US Presidential Primaries

Michael A. Jones; David McCune; Jennifer M. Wilson

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book provides a comprehensive mathematical description and analysis of the delegate allocation processes in the US Democratic and Republican presidential primaries, focusing on the role of apportionment methods and the effect of thresholds—the minimum levels of support required to receive delegates. The analysis involves a variety of techniques, including theoretical arguments, simplicial geometry, Monte Carlo simulation, and examination of presidential primary data from 2004 to 2020. The book is divided into two parts: Part I defines the classical apportionment problem and explains how the implementation and goals of delegate apportionment differ from those of apportionment for state representation in the US House of Representatives and for party representation in legislatures based on proportional representation. The authors then describe how delegates are assigned to states and congressional districts and formally define the delegate apportionment methods usedin each state by the two major parties to allocate delegates to presidential candidates. Part II analyzes and compares the apportionment methods introduced in Part I based on their level of bias and adherence to various notions of proportionality. It explores how often the methods satisfy the quota condition and quantifies their biases in favor or against the strongest and weakest candidates. Because the methods are quota-based, they are susceptible to classical paradoxes like the Alabama and population paradoxes. They also suffer from other paradoxes that are more relevant in the context of delegate apportionment such as the elimination and aggregation paradoxes. The book evaluates the extent to which each method is susceptible to each paradox. Finally, it discusses the appointment of delegates based on divisor methods and notions of regressive proportionality.This book appeals to scholars and students interested in mathematical economics and political science, with an emphasis on apportionment and social choice theory.

2017
sidottu
Written by experts who have been part of this field since its beginnings in both research and academia, this textbook introduces readers to this evolving topic and the broad range of applications that are being explored. The book begins by examining what it is that defines ionic liquids and what sets them apart from other materials. Chapters describe the various types of ionic liquids and the different techniques used to synthesize them, as well as their properties and some of the methods used in their measurement. Further chapters delve into synthetic and electrochemical applications and their broad use as "Green" solvents. Final chapters examine important applications in a wide variety of contexts, including such devices as solar cells and batteries, electrochemistry, and biotechnology. The result is a must-have resource for any researcher beginning to work in this growing field, including senior undergraduates and postgraduates.

Math Affinity Puzzles

Math Affinity Puzzles

Katie Ballentine; Michael A. Jones; Lon Mitchell; Jennifer M. Wilson

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
Instead of treating mathematics as a collection of separate topics or isolated courses, this book highlights the patterns and relationships that appear throughout mathematics. Rather than keeping studies confined to a single field, the puzzles here look beyond boundaries and discover links among different areas of knowledge. Within the domain of mathematics, this book focuses on the fun of finding such connections through puzzles. Math Affinity Puzzles uses analogies to explore connections between mathematical terms and concepts, where solving a puzzle requires unraveling the relationships between the mathematical ideas. Solving this kind of mathematical puzzle is thus not about assessing understanding but deepening it, making the connections, and having fun doing it. Because there may be multiple relationships present, one answer is not claimed to be correct. Instead, which answer is best comes from one point of view. The short descriptions follow, touching on the different choices while going more deeply into historical or other aspects of the relationships. The puzzles will deepen the reader’s understanding and appreciation of, as well as foster discussion about, the relationships among mathematical ideas. The puzzles in this book can be enjoyed on their own or as supplements in a course setting. The authors have used them in calculus and upper-level classes as homework assignments and for in-class discussions. Students have been asked to justify the one they have chosen, offering opportunities for noncomputational critical thinking, speaking, and writing about mathematics.
