Deals with two areas of mathematics, at first sight disjoint, and with some of the analogies and interactions between them. This book discusses results about differential equations and their differential galois groups (G) and one-parameter families of exponential sums and their geometric monodromy groups (G).

Portrays over 60 remarkable animals that have been lost forever during the relatively recent geological past. This book discusses the history of the animals - how and where they lived, and how they became extinct - as well as the scientific discovery and analysis of the creature.

For a wide spectrum of scientists from biomedical and dental researchers to primatologists and physical anthropologists, Emet Schneiderman offers the most accurate and up-to-date presentation of the normal growth of the lower facial skeleton in a primate species. His study is based on a sample of thirty-five captive rhesus monkeys, whose facial gro

In 1932, the so-called annus mirabilis of modern physics, a group of scientists gathered in Copenhagen for a week-long conference on the extraordinary new work that was taking place in laboratories across the world;

Many evidences have begun to reveal flaws in the assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun. This book features research on the ability of females to shape the outcome of mating. It also describes studies of cryptic mechanisms by which a female can accept a male for copulation but reject him as a father.

In this remarkable journal of visits to Eden, Mabey transports his reader from Cornwall to the Mediterranean to the Tropics, from Old World to New, from present to personal memory, to new perspectives on our collective artistic and emotional past.

Jocelyn Crane presents a survey of the members of the genus Uca, with special reference to their morphology, social behavior, and evolution. Her account is firmly based on numerous field studies along the world's warmer shores and on comparative work in laboratories and museums. Originally published in 1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the

Presents an understanding of semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces. This is a study of semiconductor-electrolyte interfacial effects, focusing on the physical and electrochemical foundations that affect surface charge, capacitance, conductance, quantum effects, and other properties, both from the point of view of theoretical modeling and metrology.

Combines algebra and geometry to discuss the three-dimensional area where vectors can be plotted. This book provides introduction to linear algebra, a branch of mathematics that studies vectors and vector spaces.

(Paperback)

Applies model theoretic methods to the study of certain finite permutation groups, the automorphism groups of structures for a fixed finite language with a bounded number of orbits on 4-tuples. This book treats the general case by developing analogs of the model theoretic methods of geometric stability theory.

This work investigates a moment in evolution when development was at its most basic - the moment when signalling between cells began. Using slime mould as an example, the author seeks to analyze development at a primitive stage and gain an insight into how early multicellular development began.
