(Hardback)

Depicts an Earth whose interior is as active as its surface, and whose processes in the deep interior often control surface dynamics. This book discusses the importance of the hydrogen in water in determining the structure of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. It is intended for students of Earth sciences, materials sciences, and physics.

Presents a study of arthropod predador-prey systems. This work shows how many of the components of predation may be simply modeled in order to reveal their effects on the overall dynamics of the interacting populations. It also describes how the biological processes of insect predator-prey, including host-parasitoid interactions may be understood.

How do we make the field and laboratory coherent How do we use statistics to help experimentation How do we integrate modeling and statistics This book answers these questions. It makes liberal use of computer programming for the generation of hypotheses, exploration of data, and the comparison of different models.

Develops a systematic general approach to the proof of ergodic theorems for a large class of non-amenable locally compact groups and their lattice subgroups. This book formulates simple general conditions on the spectral theory of the group and the regularity of the averaging sets, which suffice to guarantee convergence to the ergodic mean.

When John Nash won the Nobel prize in economics in 1994, many people were surprised to learn that he was alive. This book presents Nash's contributions not only to game theory, for which he received the Nobel, but to mathematics - from Riemannian geometry and partial differential equations - in which he commands greater acclaim among academics.

The problem of how to estimate probabilities has interested philosophers, statisticians, actuaries, and mathematicians for a long time. It is currently of interest for automatic recognition, medical diagnosis, and artificial intelligence in general. This monograph reviews existing methods, including those that are new or have not been written up in a connected manner.
