This text, the first of two volumes, provides a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to a wide range of fundamental results from ergodic theory and geometric measure theory. Topics covered include: finite and infinite abstract ergodic theory, Young's towers, measure-theoretic Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, thermodynamics formalism, geometric function theory, various kinds of conformal measures, conformal graph directed Markov systems and iterated functions systems, semi-local dynamics of analytic functions, and nice sets. Many examples are included, along with detailed explanations of essential concepts and full proofs, in what is sure to be an indispensable reference for both researchers and graduate students.
This text, the second of two volumes, builds on the foundational material on ergodic theory and geometric measure theory provided in Volume I, and applies all the techniques discussed to describe the beautiful and rich dynamics of elliptic functions. The text begins with an introduction to topological dynamics of transcendental meromorphic functions, before progressing to elliptic functions, discussing at length their classical properties, measurable dynamics and fractal geometry. The authors then look in depth at compactly non-recurrent elliptic functions. Much of this material is appearing for the first time in book or paper form. Both senior and junior researchers working in ergodic theory and dynamical systems will appreciate what is sure to be an indispensable reference.
This two-volume set provides a comprehensive and self-contained approach to the dynamics, ergodic theory, and geometry of elliptic functions mapping the complex plane onto the Riemann sphere. Volume I discusses many fundamental results from ergodic theory and geometric measure theory in detail, including finite and infinite abstract ergodic theory, Young's towers, measure-theoretic Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, thermodynamics formalism, geometric function theory, various conformal measures, conformal graph directed Markov systems and iterated functions systems, classical theory of elliptic functions. In Volume II, all these techniques, along with an introduction to topological dynamics of transcendental meromorphic functions, are applied to describe the beautiful and rich dynamics and fractal geometry of elliptic functions. Much of this material is appearing for the first time in book or even paper form. Both researchers and graduate students will appreciate the detailed explanations of essential concepts and full proofs provided in what is sure to be an indispensable reference.

Photography and Resistance tells the stories of the people who resisted fascism in Europe by taking or securing photographs.It complements Janina Struk's ground-breaking 2004 book Photographing the Holocaust, which has become a standard text on images of the Holocaust. Now she focuses on images taken at enormous risk by those resisting the Nazis, whether political activists or volunteers in underground networks, workers in photographic studios or public institutions, prisoners in the concentration camps, professional photographers, or individuals – all of whom believed in photography as a form of resistance. It includes images never seen before, and accounts of actions and heroism barely reported in the past. Many images were clandestinely taken, and the book discusses the means photographers employed and the motivation that compelled them to risk their lives to compile the evidence. The book also questions whether the importance of their contribution to the defeat of fascism has been recognized and whether the aspirations that drove them have been realized.This original study will be an essential resource for students and scholars of photography, visual culture, Holocaust studies and history, as well as anyone interested in the history of the Second World War.

Based on an innovative theory of international law, Janina Dill's book investigates the effectiveness of international humanitarian law (IHL) in regulating the conduct of warfare. Through a comprehensive examination of the IHL defining a legitimate target of attack, Dill reveals a controversy among legal and military professionals about the 'logic' according to which belligerents ought to balance humanitarian and military imperatives: the logics of sufficiency or efficiency. Law prescribes the former, but increased recourse to international law in US air warfare has led to targeting in accordance with the logic of efficiency. The logic of sufficiency is morally less problematic, yet neither logic satisfies contemporary expectations of effective IHL or legitimate warfare. Those expectations demand that hostilities follow a logic of liability, which proves impracticable. This book proposes changes to international law, but concludes that according to widely shared normative beliefs, on the twenty-first-century battlefield there are no truly legitimate targets.

Can private standards bring about more sustainable production practices? This question is of interest to conscientious consumers, academics studying the effectiveness of private regulation, and corporate social responsibility practitioners alike. Grabs provides an answer by combining an impact evaluation of 1,900 farmers with rich qualitative evidence from the coffee sectors of Honduras, Colombia and Costa Rica. Identifying an institutional design dilemma that private sustainability standards encounter as they scale up, this book shows how this dilemma plays out in the coffee industry. It highlights how the erosion of price premiums and the adaptation to buyers' preferences have curtailed standards' effectiveness in promoting sustainable practices that create economic opportunity costs for farmers, such as agroforestry or agroecology. It also provides a voice for coffee producers and value chain members to explain why the current system is failing in its mission to provide environmental, social, and economic co-benefits, and what changes are necessary to do better.

This book contributes to the analysis of film from a multimodal and textual perspective by extending formal semantics into the realm of multimodal discourse analysis. It accounts for both the inferential as well as intersemiotic meaning making processes in filmic discourse and therefore addresses one of the main questions that have been asked within film theory and multimodal analysis: How do we understand film and multimodal texts? The book offers an analytical answer to this question by providing a systematic tool for the description of this comprehension process. It aims to advance knowledge of the various resources in filmic texts, the ways the resources work together in constructing meaning and the ways people understand this meaning construction. This new approach to film interpretation is thus able to remodel and improve the classical paradigm of film text analysis.
