Foundational Essays on Topological Manifolds, Smoothings, and Triangulations

Foundational Essays on Topological Manifolds, Smoothings, and Triangulations

Robion C. Kirby; Laurence C. Siebenmann

Princeton University Press
1977
pokkari
Since Poincare's time, topologists have been most concerned with three species of manifold. The most primitive of these--the TOP manifolds--remained rather mysterious until 1968, when Kirby discovered his now famous torus unfurling device. A period of rapid progress with TOP manifolds ensued, including, in 1969, Siebenmann's refutation of the Hauptvermutung and the Triangulation Conjecture. Here is the first connected account of Kirby's and Siebenmann's basic research in this area. The five sections of this book are introduced by three articles by the authors that initially appeared between 1968 and 1970. Appendices provide a full discussion of the classification of homotopy tori, including Casson's unpublished work and a consideration of periodicity in topological surgery.

The Revolution Has Come

The Revolution Has Come

Robyn C. Spencer

Duke University Press
2016
sidottu
In The Revolution Has Come Robyn C. Spencer traces the Black Panther Party's organizational evolution in Oakland, California, where hundreds of young people came to political awareness and journeyed to adulthood as members. Challenging the belief that the Panthers were a projection of the leadership, Spencer draws on interviews with rank-and-file members, FBI files, and archival materials to examine the impact the organization's internal politics and COINTELPRO's political repression had on its evolution and dissolution. She shows how the Panthers' members interpreted, implemented, and influenced party ideology and programs; initiated dialogues about gender politics; highlighted ambiguities in the Panthers' armed stance; and criticized organizational priorities. Spencer also centers gender politics and the experiences of women and their contributions to the Panthers and the Black Power movement as a whole. Providing a panoramic view of the party's organization over its sixteen-year history, The Revolution Has Come shows how the Black Panthers embodied Black Power through the party's international activism, interracial alliances, commitment to address state violence, and desire to foster self-determination in Oakland's black communities.

Set in downtown Ottawa, Cordelia Wickwillow owns a quaint flower shop, not entirely a front, but a good cover for her other business. Her customers, however, are completely unaware of the kind of work that actually pays the bills. One spring morning, a stranger enters her shop in a panic, and the chain of events they spark cannot be undone. With nowhere to go, Jules accepts Cori's invitation to stay, agreeing to work both in the flower shop, and help with supernatural jobs. While solving paranormal cases, Cori teaches her apprentice about the secret world, as her own best kept mysteries begin to unfurl. Forced to confront her past and the trauma accompanying it, Cori struggles to keep hold of the fragile walls she's held up for almost a decade. With Jules, she's given a fresh perspective, and the support she needed. After several cases, and the introduction of various characters, Cori must finally face her demons, but she won't have to do it alone. With Jules and Manny, their companion kobold, the trio face the beast of the Everwoods and delve deeper into the mysteries of Wickwillow.

The Topology of 4-Manifolds

The Topology of 4-Manifolds

Robion C. Kirby

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
1989
nidottu
This book presents the classical theorems about simply connected smooth 4-manifolds: intersection forms and homotopy type, oriented and spin bordism, the index theorem, Wall's diffeomorphisms and h-cobordism, and Rohlin's theorem. Most of the proofs are new or are returbishings of post proofs; all are geometric and make us of handlebody theory. There is a new proof of Rohlin's theorem using spin structures. There is an introduction to Casson handles and Freedman's work including a chapter of unpublished proofs on exotic R4's. The reader needs an understanding of smooth manifolds and characteristic classes in low dimensions. The book should be useful to beginning researchers in 4-manifolds.

A Natural History of Ferns

A Natural History of Ferns

Moran Robbin C.

Timber Press
2009
pokkari
"A Natural History of Ferns" is an entertaining and informative look at why ferns and their relatives are unique among plants. Ferns live in habitats from the tropics to polar latitudes, and unlike seed plants, which endow each seed with the resources to help their offspring, ferns reproduce by minute spores. There are floating ferns, ferns that climb or live on trees, and ferns that are trees. There are poisonous ferns, iridescent ferns, and resurrection ferns that survive desert heat and drought. The relations of ferns and people are equally varied. Moran sheds light on Robinson Crusoe's ferns, the role of ferns in movies, and how ferns get their names. " A Natural History of Ferns" provides just what is needed for those who wish to grow ferns or observe them in their habitats with greater understanding and appreciation.

Discourse Perspectives on Organizational Communication

Discourse Perspectives on Organizational Communication

Jolanta Artiz; Robyn C. Walker

Fairleigh Dickinson University Press
2011
sidottu
Discourse Perspectives in Organizational Communication brings together researchers from the social sciences and humanities to look at discourse and how it shapes organizations and their social actors. Unlike others in the field, this book assumes that language creates and constitutes reality, rather than simply mirroring or describing it. This collection illustrates the variety of organizational phenomena that might be studied and the range of epistemological and methodological approaches that might be used in discourse analysis techniques.

But after pulling off a daring theft from a noble house, he becomes too irresistible for Celdric-the god of mischief-to ignore.Claimed as one of Celdric's vassals and granted the power to control shadows, Koven is whisked away to the Cenobium, an academy for those marked with the divine blood of the various Athearian deities. There, his destiny becomes entwined with those of a gifted seer, a shapeshifting prince, and a warrior descended from a bloodline plagued with madness. But gods don't share their power without a cost. Koven must first survive the academy's deadly exams.Meanwhile, as tensions between rival gods reach an all-time high, Celdric concocts a scheme to make matters worse. Faced with a war that threatens to consume the continent, Koven and his friends must race across enemy territory in search of the goddess of fate before everything they know and love is destroyed. And soon Koven finds himself battling more than man-eating monsters and bloodthirsty gods. Because there's a darkness festering inside him, and he isn't sure he can save himself, much less the kingdom . . . The Name of the Wind meets Godkiller in this epic fantasy series, in which the whims of gods weave a deadly fate that's impossible to avoid.
