Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This open access book, building on the legacy of food systems scholar and advocate, Jerome Kaufman, examines the potential and pitfalls of planning for urban agriculture (UA) in the United States, especially in how questions of ethics and equity are addressed. The book is organized into six sections. Written by a team of scholars and practitioners, the book covers a comprehensive array of topics ranging from theory to practice of planning for equitable urban agriculture. Section 1 makes the case for re-imagining agriculture as central to urban landscapes, and unpacks why, how, and when planning should support UA, and more broadly food systems. Section 2, written by early career and seasoned scholars, provides a theoretical foundation for the book. Section 3, written by teams of scholars and community partners, examines how civic agriculture is unfolding across urban landscapes, led largely by community organizations. Section 4, written by planning practitioners and scholars, documents local government planning tied to urban agriculture, focusing especially on how they address questions of equity. Section 5 explores UA as a locus of pedagogy of equity. Section 6 places the UA movement in the US within a global context, and concludes with ideas and challenges for the future. The book concludes with a call for planning as public nurturance - an approach that can be illustrated through urban agriculture. Planning as public nurturance is a value-explicit process that centers an ethics of care, especially protecting the interests of publics that are marginalized. It builds the capacity of marginalized groups to authentically co-design and participate in planning/policy processes. Such a planning approach requires that progress toward equitable outcomes is consistently evaluated through accountability measures. And, finally, such an approach requires attention to structural and institutional inequities. Addressing these four elements is more likely to create a condition under which urban agriculture may be used as a lever in the planning and development of more just and equitable cities.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 600 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The global environmental crisis, technological developments, the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing economic and political globalization are just a few of the developments that are massively increasing the pressure for transformation on regions, companies and society as a whole. In addition, the digital age is accelerating transformation processes that are already underway. This contributed book addresses these developments and presents a novel framework for transformation research and practice, which has been developed and already validated at RWTH Aachen University. The RWTH way includes inter- and transdisciplinary approaches from many disciplines, looking at technological and societal change from different perspectives. A distinction is made between analysis, i.e., research on transformation processes, impact, i.e., transformational research, and change in research itself, i.e. research transformation. The book not only creates a new understanding of transformation research, but also provides actionable impulses for scholars and practitioners in many fields.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 484 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Diagrammatic Algebra provides the intuition and tools necessary to address some of the key questions in modern representation theory, chief among them Lusztig's conjecture. This book offers a largely self-contained introduction to diagrammatic algebra, culminating in an explicit and entirely diagrammatic treatment of Geordie Williamson's explosive torsion counterexamples in full detail.The book begins with an overview of group theory and representation theory: first encountering Coxeter groups through their actions on puzzles, necklaces, and Platonic solids; then building up to non-semisimple representations of TemperleyLieb and zig-zag algebras; and finally constructing simple representations of binary Schur algebras using the language of coloured Pascal triangles. Next, KazhdanLusztig polynomials are introduced, with their study motivated by their combinatorial properties. The discussion then turns to diagrammatic Hecke categories and their associated p-KazhdanLusztig polynomials, explored in a hands-on manner with numerous examples. The book concludes by showing that the problem of determining the prime divisors of Fibonacci numbers is a special case of the problem of calculating p-KazhdanLusztig polynomialsusing only elementary diagrammatic calculations and some manipulation of (5x5)-matrices. Richly illustrated and assuming only undergraduate-level linear algebra, this is a particularly accessible introduction to cutting-edge topics in representation theory. The elementary-yet-modern presentation will also be of interest to experts.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 400 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The book aims at endowing any student with a survival toolkit to start safely diving into the realm of Calculus of Variations. In summary, the latter is a part of mathematical analysis devoted to minimization/maximization problems. A great effort has been made to present the themes and methods considered in the book in the simplest possible way: the reader will not find here general statements or proofs based on general abstract theories. In contrast, the main focus of the book is on introducing some key concepts 'from scratch', by means of simple and meaningful explicit examples (including for instance, the classical isoperimetric and brachistocrone problems, as well as the boundary value problem for harmonic functions). In particular, the book is mainly (but not exclusively) designed to smoothly introduce the reader to the so-called Direct Method of the Calculus of Variations, which is a central concept in the field. Accordingly, a good part of the book is devoted to discussing spaces of weakly differentiable functions (i.e., Sobolev and Lipschitz functions), which are essential tools of the Direct Method.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 632 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This exceptional textbook provides extensive discussions and worked exercises to accompany a field theory course at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. There are many questions that arise, both philosophical and practical, during a standard course in classical field theory that are addressed here in discussions between an advanced graduate student and her inquisitive undergrad friend. The discussion involves explicitly working out exercises and making pertinent remarks on the results and potential of the developed formalism. The book is ideal for readers who have taken or are taking the classical field theory course so that they already have a mathematical background in vector and tensor calculus and are willing to learn the basics of differential forms and exterior calculus to gain further insight into field theory formulation. The text can also be used to answer what you've always wanted to know but never dared to ask about field theory.
