PWN / Pergamon Press, 1980 8vo (22.5 cm), VIII, 204 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities, ownership entry at the head of the title page). Kazimierz Kuratowski (1896-1980) was a Polish mathematician and logician, one of the leading representatives of the Warsaw School of Mathematics. He is the author of numerous works in set theory and topology, including the fundamental treatise on set-theoric topology (1934). This account is focused mainly on Polish mathematics in the period 1920-1970 and is based on the reminiscences of an eye-witness and participant of that great adventure which the birth of the Polish school of mathematics proved to be.

American Mathematical Society, 2021 8vo (25 cm), V, 89 pp. Laminated wrappers. "Some scales of spaces of ultra-differentiable functions are introduced, having good stability properties with respect to infinitely many derivatives and compositions. They are well-suited for solving non-linear functional equations by means of hard implicit function theorems. They comprise Gevrey functions and thus, as a limiting case, analytic functions. Using majorizing series, we manage to characterize them in terms of a real sequence M bounding the growth of derivatives. In this functional setting, we prove two fundamental results of Hamiltonian perturbation theory: the invariant torus theorem, where the invariant torus remains ultra-differentiable under the assumption that its frequency satisfies some arithmetic condition which we call BRM, and which generalizes the Bruno-R¨ussmann condition; and Nekhoroshev’s theorem, where the stability time depends on the ultra-differentiable class of the… Read More

Dover Publications Inc, 2000 4to (28 cm), 160 pp. Laminated wrappers. "Before the advent of modern mass-production methods, books were bound by hand to remarkably high standards of quality. Beautiful and durable, they appealed to book lovers who appreciated not only a book's content but also the quality and craftsmanship of its binding. Unfortunately, the introduction of machine-binding methods, while making books widely available at reasonable prices, also largely curtailed the art and craft of making fine books by hand. This expert guide offers a solution. In its pages, craftspeople can learn the traditional methods of bookbinding and produce high-quality hand-bound books themselves. Thorough, detailed instructions, with over 270 helpful illustrations by the author, cover materials, tools, and equipment (including making your own); fundamental procedures and technical methods; rebinding an old book; making a slipcase, and other essentials. Also included are well-illustrated, step-by-step… Read More

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2017 8vo (23.5 cm), XXVII, 608 pp. Laminated wrappers. "The Handbook of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces provides the first authoritative resource on what has become the dominant paradigm for new computer interfaces- user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, gestures, writing) embedded in multimodal-multisensor interfaces. These interfaces support smart phones, wearables, in-vehicle and robotic applications, and many other areas that are now highly competitive commercially. This edited collection is written by international experts and pioneers in the field. It provides a textbook, reference, and technology roadmap for professionals working in this and related areas. This first volume of the handbook presents relevant theory and neuroscience foundations for guiding the development of high-performance systems. Additional chapters discuss approaches to user modeling and interface designs that support user choice, that synergistically combine modalities… Read More

River Publishers, 2018 8vo (24 cm), XXVI, 318 pp. Publisher's laminated boards. "The mobile communications market in developing countries is growing at a rapid rate. This is evident in the rapid spread of mobile broadband cellular networks such as 3G. 4G is also being deployed in developing countries around the world. As the global communications market proceeds towards 5G, it is evident that developing countries will not be left behind. However, there are challenges and barriers on the road ahead specific to developing countries. To aid policy makers, researchers and members of academia make informed decisions that will help the advancement of 5G, this handbook provides an insight into the impact of existing mobile cellular networks in some developing countries."

Scolar Press, 1998 8vo (21.5 cm), XII, 321 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "The Handbook of Modern British Painting and Printmaking 1900-1990 has been designed for people who enjoy, study and buy British art. The only portable dictionary-style guide to the life and work of modern British painters and printmakers, the book provides information on some 2,000 artists, as well as entries on schools of art, on museums, galleries and collections, on societies and groups, and critics and patrons who have influenced the development of modern art in Britain. Artists are included if they (at one end of the timescale) had finished their training by 1900, and were truly beginning their professional career in the twentieth century, and (at the other end of the timescale) had established themselves professionally on the national scene by 1990. If the artist was foreign born, he or she is included if they resided in Britain, and exhibited or worked here long enough for their presence to be of… Read More

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2019 8vo (24.5 cm), XV, 304 pp. Publisher's laminated boards. "Since Nash's original paper in 1951, it has found countless applications in modeling strategic behavior of traders in markets, (human) drivers and (electronic) routers in congested networks, nations in nuclear disarmament negotiations, and more. A decade ago, the relevance of this solution concept was called into question by computer scientists, who proved (under appropriate complexity assumptions) that computing a Nash equilibrium is an intractable problem. And if centralized, specially designed algorithms cannot find Nash equilibria, why should we expect distributed, selfish agents to converge to one? The remaining hope was that at least approximate Nash equilibria can be efficiently computed. Understanding whether there is an efficient algorithm for approximate Nash equilibrium has been the central open problem in this field for the past decade. In this book, we provide strong evidence that… Read More

The MIT Press, 2006 8vo (23,5 cm), X, 395 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the blurb: "Historically, music was long classified as both art and science. Aspects of music -- from the mathematics of tuning to the music of the celestial spheres -- were primarily studied as science until the seventeenth century. In the nineteenth century, although scientists were less interested in the music of the spheres than the natural philosophers of earlier centuries, they remained committed to understanding the world of performing musicians and their instruments. In Harmonious Triads, Myles Jackson analyzes the relationship of physicists, musicians, and instrument makers in nineteenth-century Germany. Musical instruments provided physicists with experimental systems, and physicists' research led directly to improvements in musical-instrument manufacture and assisted musicians in their performances. Music also provided scientists with a cultural resource, which forged acquaintances and future… Read More
