Although this book is pure fiction, none of the phenomena it describes are beyond the possible. Super intelligence, telepathy, other dimensions, intelligent extraterrestrial life, travel through wormholes and living in good health for hundreds of years are no longer just the imaginings of science fiction wonks. We are on the brink of the incredible. Best,
This book contains a detailed account of the bigeometric calculus, a non-Newtonian calculus in which the power functions play the role that the linear functions play in the classical calculus of Newton and Leibniz. This nonlinear system provides mathematical tools for use in science, engineering, and mathematics. It appears to have considerable potential for use as an alternative to the classical calculus. It may well be that the bigeometric calculus can be used to define new concepts, to yield new or simpler laws, or to formulate or solve problems.
The book contains a detailed account of the first non-Newtonian calculus. In this system, the exponential functions play the role that the linear functions play in the classical calculus of Newton and Leibniz.

National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium examines the transformation of the international system through an examination of the role conceptions adopted by the different global actors.Advancing current role theory scholarship in International Relations, the contributors take as their starting point the question of how international actors are responding to the reordering of the global system. They reflect on the rise of new actors and the reemergence of old rivalries, the decline of established norms, and the unleashing of internal political forces such as nationalism and parochialism. They argue that changes in the international system can impact how states define their roles and act as a variable in both domestic and international role contestations. Further, they examine the redefinition of roles of countries and the international organizations that have been central to the US and western dominated world order, including major powers in the world (the US, Russia, China, Britain etc.) as well as the European Union, NATO, and ASEAN. By looking at international organizations, this text moves beyond the traditional subjects of role theory in the study of international relations, to examine how roles are contested in non-state actors.National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium is the first attempt to delve into the individual motivations of states to seek role transition. As such, it is ideal for those teaching and studying both theory and method in international relations and foreign policy analysis.
Its thought-provoking conclusions will be of interest political scientists, media specialists, and anyone interested in current affairs.
A seminal work in health economics first published in 1972, Michael Grossman's The Demand for Health introduced a new theoretical model for determining the health status of the population. His work uniquely synthesized economic and public health knowledge and has catalyzed a vastly influential body of health economics literature.
This collection of Michael Grossman's most important papers adds essential background and depth to his work on economic determinants of public health. It contextualizes the issues and addresses the larger stakes of his work. Determinants of Health explains how the economic choices people make influence health and health behaviors.
