Analyzes theoretical and empirical work on insect sperm competition. This work considers both male and female interests in sperm utilization and the sexual conflict that can arise when these differ. It covers the mechanics of sperm transfer and utilization, morphology, physiology, and behavior.

(Paperback)

Proves an analogue of Thurston's celebrated hyperbolic Dehn surgery theorem in the context of complex hyperbolic discrete groups, and then derives two main geometric consequences from it. This book is suitable for graduate students interested in this area of research, as well as researchers in allied fields such as Kleinian groups and CR geometry.

Concentrating on the complex spider communication system, this book assembles the most recent multidisciplinary advances of leading researchers from many countries to assess the peculiar role spiders play in the animal kingdom. Originally published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make avai

The concepts of a spin manifold, spinor fields, Dirac operators, and A-genera are presented comprehensively in this book. It also features the development of the theory of Cl-linear elliptic operators and the associated index theorem, which connects certain subtle spin-corbordism invariants to classical questions in geometry.

(Paperback)

Presents Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) as the influential thinker of modernity - and examines the question of whether he was the "first secular Jew." This title presents the origins of the idea of immanence in the culture of Spinoza's Marrano ancestors, Jews in Spain and Portugal who had been forcibly converted to Christianity.

(Paperback)

Presents Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) as the influential thinker of modernity - and examines the question of whether he was the "first secular Jew." This title discloses the presence of Spinoza's philosophical revolution in the work of later thinkers who helped shape the modern mind.

It may be that the world which our authors here describe in symbolic language as the "eighth climate" will be seen by Western people as the "lost continent". Should some of them be searching for it, the Spiritual Masters whom the present book seeks to interpret will perhaps serve as their guides.

(Paperback)

The eighteenth century witnessed an influx of black women to the slave-trading ports of the American Northeast. This book is an account of pre-Emancipation writings from the period of 1760 to 1863, in light of a developing African American religious culture and emerging free black communities.

(Paperback)

Baby boomers and the remaking of American religion.

(Paperback)

The early Christian and medieval practice of spiritual marriage, in which husband and wife mutually and voluntarily relinquish sexual activity for reasons of piety, plays an important role in the development of the institution of marriage. This title traces the history of spiritual marriage in the West from apostolic times.

(Paperback)

Reassesses the place of feminism in the law and politics of sexuality. This book argues that sexuality involves deeply contested and clashing realities and interests, and that feminism helps us understand only some of them.

In ancient Athens, where freedom of speech derived from the power of male citizenship, women's voices were seldom heard in public. Female speech was more often represented in theatrical productions through women characters written and enacted by men. This book studies women's speech in classical drama.

(Paperback)

Provides an examination of the intelligence failures that preceded September 11. This work shows how and why the intelligence system itself left us vulnerable. It argues that after the Cold War ended, the CIA and FBI failed to adapt to the rise of terrorism.

What makes populations stabilize What makes them fluctuate Are populations in complex ecosystems more stable than populations in simple ecosystems This text addresses these questions and introduces non-linear mathematical models and the study of deterministic chaos into ecology.

(Hardback)

Develops a general stability analysis and control design framework for nonlinear large-scale interconnected dynamical systems, and presents a treatment on vector Lyapunov function methods, vector dissipativity theory, and decentralized control architectures.

(Hardback)

Covers stability and stabilization of equilibria for both linear and nonlinear time-invariant systems of ordinary differential equations. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics, this book takes a modern approach that bridges the gap between linear and nonlinear systems.

(Paperback)

Examines theories of population stability and shows how laboratory research on model populations - particularly blowflies, Tribolium, and Drosophila - contributes to our understanding of population dynamics and the evolution of stability. This book analyzes techniques for inferring whether a given population is in balance or not.

(Paperback, Revised edition)

Presents an account of two pillars of the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory: stable and chaotic behavior. This title discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory.
