Process-Tracing Methods

Process-Tracing Methods

Derek Beach; Rasmus Brun Pedersen

The University of Michigan Press
2019
sidottu
Process-tracing in social science is a method for studying causal mechanisms linking causes with outcomes. This enables the researcher to make strong inferences about how a cause (or set of causes) contributes to producing an outcome. In this extensively revised and updated edition, Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen introduce a refined definition of process-tracing, differentiating it into four distinct variants and explaining the applications and limitations of each. The authors develop the underlying logic of process-tracing, including how one should understand causal mechanisms and how Bayesian logic enables strong within-case inferences. They provide instructions for identifying the variant of process-tracing most appropriate for the research question at hand and a set of guidelines for each stage of the research process.

After AI: Strategies to Survive & Thrive

After AI: Strategies to Survive & Thrive

Derek W. Pearson

Roof Media
2018
nidottu
In the next few decades, the proliferation of Artificially Intelligent technology will have a significant impact on our ability to earn a living. Cheaper AI options will displace many human workers in both "skilled" and "unskilled" jobs, and in many cases a traditional education will not constitute a tangible advantage over AI alternatives. "After AI: Strategies to Survive & Thrive" examines ways to actively promote the natural human attributes that give us that advantage: the stuff that makes us MORE THAN MACHINES.

To Serve the Muse

To Serve the Muse

Derek Gordon

Corrina, Ceridwyn and Natasha Gordon
2020
sidottu
A tribute to Derek Gordon, aka Bringwonder the Storyteller, who brought joy to so many over the decades and was loved by so many. There is no better tribute to this Renaissance Man than to present his own brilliantly written poetry. Derek died in September 2018 and his daughters and one of his close friends have collected, transcribed, selected and edited a vast body of work to present a sampling of his quirky, insightful, unique writing style. There is a range of styles and a range from poetry witten in his teenage years to poems written shortly before his death.

The Christ of History and the Jesus of Faith

The Christ of History and the Jesus of Faith

Derek Tovey

Derek Tovey
2024
pokkari
Though many scholars, when writing about the historical Jesus, leave the resurrection out of account, in this book I argue that the resurrection must be part of the story of the historical Jesus. For not only is it an "event" that happened within history, but it is the catalyst for the significance that the first Christians attached to the historical person, Jesus. Furthermore, the data found in the gospels must be regarded as a "form of history", shaped by theological considerations, but pointing to the historical significance and meaning of Jesus's life. My "manifesto" is, in part, a protest against a tendency to maintain a divide between "history" and "theology".I offer a "sketch" of the historical Jesus, which particularly focuses upon the way in which Jesus stood in continuity with the Old Testament prophets. I especially highlight the data that connects the historical person with the historically significant figure that the first Christians proclaimed. These are such things as the institution of the Lord's Supper (the Holy Communion), the use by Jesus of the descriptor, "The Son of Man", and his choice of disciples who were known as "the Twelve".

Introduction to Tensor Calculus, Relativity and Cosmology

Introduction to Tensor Calculus, Relativity and Cosmology

Derek F. Lawden

Dover Publications Inc.
2003
nidottu
This elementary introduction pays special attention to aspects of tensor calculus and relativity that students tend to find most difficult. Its use of relatively unsophisticated mathematics in the early chapters allows readers to develop their confidence within the framework of Cartesian coordinates before undertaking the theory of tensors in curved spaces and its application to general relativity theory. Additional topics include black holes, gravitational waves, and a sound background in applying the principles of general relativity to cosmology. Numerous exercises advance the theoretical developments of the main text, thus enhancing this volume's appeal to students of applied mathematics and physics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. 1982 ed. Solution guide available upon request.

The Mathematical Principles of Quantum Mechanics

The Mathematical Principles of Quantum Mechanics

Derek F Lawden

Dover Publications Inc.
2005
nidottu
Most texts on quantum mechanics are primarily designed for physicists; this one, taking a somewhat different approach, is geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in applied mathematics. The author develops the subject in a systematic and logical manner from a minimal set of axioms. Special physical problems, with suggestions for solutions, are contained in the sets of exercises, of which there are more than a hundred. The theory is first developed for observables, such as the spin, and later extended to observables having continuous spectra; by this means, the theory's chief features are exhibited in the simplest possible mathematical context. 1967 ed.

Swahili and Sabaki

Swahili and Sabaki

Derek Nurse; Thomas J. Hinnebusch

University of California Press
1993
pokkari
The Sabaki languages form a major Bantu subgroup and are spoken by 35 million East Africans in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Comoro Islands. The authors provide a historical/comparative treatment of Swahili (and other Sabaki languages), an account of the relationship of Swahili to Sabaki and to other Bantu languages, and some data on contemporary Sabaki languages. Data sets, appendices, maps, and figures present essential information on phonology, lexical makeup, and tense/aspect morphology. The final chapter is a synthesis describing the linguistic and historical relationship of the Sabaki dialects to each other and to hypothetical proto-stages.

Shylock's Children

Shylock's Children

Derek Penslar

University of California Press
2001
sidottu
Throughout much of European history. Jews have been strongly associated with commerce and the money trade, rendered both visible and vulnerable, like Shakespeare's Shylock, by their economic distinctiveness. Shylock's Children tells the story of Jewish perceptions of this economic difference and its effects on modern Jewish identity. Derek Penslar explains how Jews in modern Europe developed the notion of a distinct "Jewish economic man," an image that grew ever more complex and nuanced between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries.

Historical Atlas of the American West

Historical Atlas of the American West

Derek Hayes

University of California Press
2009
sidottu
Spectacular in scope and visually brilliant, this atlas presents a sweeping history of the American West through more than 600 original, full-color maps and extended captions. From the earliest human inhabitants and the first European explorers to the national parks and retirement resorts of today, this extensive collection chronicles the West from uncharted territory to a well-populated Eden. We bear witness as state lines strike through Native American territories, see the frontier crack open and the railroad's iron belt snake across the Plains, and watch as the West's cities, from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and Albuquerque to Anchorage, rise and prosper. This is the first atlas to compile all the historically significant maps relating to the American West; it includes field sketches of battles, the first maps to show the West, maps depicting mythical rivers and fictional towns, and maps showing early conceptions of California as an island. Distilling many centuries into one fascinating volume, this atlas traces history as redwoods, mountains, and deserts become California, Montana, and Arizona, and offers a rare opportunity to see the west through the eyes of its earliest explorers.

Historical Atlas of the North American Railroad

Historical Atlas of the North American Railroad

Derek Hayes

University of California Press
2010
sidottu
America's long romance with the train has been the subject of many books, but none has used contemporary maps to comprehensively illustrate the story. Until now. Here the latest of Derek Hayes' historical atlases delves into the history of the railroad in North America, from its origins in Britain in the 1820s and short lines connecting Eastern Seaboard rivers in the 1830s to Amtrak and the modern intermodal freights driving today's railroad revival. Colorful and informative, the book covers a vast range of topics and offers an impressive array of types of railroad map, from the purely utilitarian to the gorgeously promotional. Nearly 400 old railroad maps, most in full color, plus many historical photos, brochures, and posters, combine to provide a new perspective on the North American railroad. "Historical Atlas of the North American Railroad" also explains how the railroad transformed the economic and social life of a continent, fundamentally changing the two North American nations it linked from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Symeon the Holy Fool

Symeon the Holy Fool

Derek Krueger

University of California Press
2018
pokkari
This first English translation of Leontius of Neapolis's Life of Symeon the Fool brings alive one of the most colorful of early Christian saints. In this study of a major hagiographer at work, Krueger fleshes out a broad picture of the religious, intellectual, and social environment in which the Life was created and opens a window onto the Christian religious imagination at the end of Late Antiquity. He explores the concept of holy folly by relating Symeon's life to the gospels, to earlier hagiography, and to anecdotes about Diogenes the Cynic. The Life is one of the strangest works of the Late Antique hagiography. Symeon seemed a bizarre choice for sanctification, since it was through very peculiar antics that he converted heretics and reformed sinners. Symeon acted like a fool, walked about naked, ate enormous quantities of beans, and defecated in the streets. When he arrived in Emesa, Symeon tied a dead dog he found on a dunghill to his belt and entered the city gate, dragging the dog behind him. Krueger presents a provocative interpretation of how these bizarre antics came to be instructive examples to everyday Christians. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1996.

Slow and Sudden Violence

Slow and Sudden Violence

Derek Hyra

University of California Press
2024
sidottu
Exposing the roots of racial unrest that consistently harm Black communities In Slow and Sudden Violence, Derek Hyra links police violence to an ongoing cycle of racial and spatial urban redevelopment repression. By delving into the real estate histories of St. Louis and Baltimore, he shows how housing and community development policies advance neighborhood inequality by segregating, gentrifying, and displacing Black communities. Repeated decisions to “upgrade” the urban fabric and uproot low-income Black populations have resulted in pockets of poverty inhabited by people experiencing displacement trauma and police surveillance. These interconnected sets of divestments and accumulated frustrations have contributed to eruptions of violence in response to tragic, unjust police killings. To confront American unrest, Hyra urges that we end racialized policing, stop Black community destruction and displacement, and reduce neighborhood inequality.
