Discusses the main issues in Popper's theory of science. After giving a characterization of each issue, this book examines the main objections that have been raised against them and offers ways of circumventing them. It also covers the amendments to Popper's definitions, especially to his qualitative definition of verisimilitude.

Tracing the development of Popper's account of objectivity by examining his contributions to key issues in the philosophy of science, here, the author argues that Karl Popper's philosophy offers a radical treatment of objectivity that can reconcile freedom and progress in a manner that preserves the best elements of the Enlightenment tradition.

Ecology is capturing the popular imagination like never before, with issues such as climate change, species extinctions, and habitat destruction becoming ever more prominent. This title provides an accessible mathematical foundation for the advances in ecology. It introduces students to the key literature in the field.

Most organisms live in a seasonal environment. During their life cycles, some species face seasons of breeding and nonbreeding. This work analyzes the complex interaction between a population and a regularly varying environment in an attempt to define and measure seasonality as a critical parameter in the general theory of population regulation.

This book represents the first synthesis of the considerable body of new research into positive definite matrices. These matrices play the same role in noncommutative analysis as positive real numbers do in classical analysis. They have theoretical and computational uses across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including calculus, electrical enginee

This book develops arithmetic without the induction principle, working in theories that are interpretable in Raphael Robinson's theory Q. Certain inductive formulas, the bounded ones, are interpretable in Q. A mathematically strong, but logically very weak, predicative arithmetic is constructed. Originally published in 1986.

Provides an overview of how animals run, walk, jump, crawl, swim, soar, hover, and fly. This book introduces energetics and optimality as basic principles. It tackles each of the major modes by which animals move on land, in water, and through air. It explains the mechanisms involved and the physical and biological forces shaping those mechanisms.
