Frederick Starr follows up his acclaimed Lost Enlightenment: Central Asia''s Golden Age with a portrait of the Arab enlightenment and its key figures--Abu-Ali al-Husayn ibn-''Abdallah Ibn-Sina and Abu al-Rayhan Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Biruni. A thousand years ago, these two intellectual giants--known as Ibn Sina and Biruni for short--achieved stunning breakthroughs in fields as diverse as medicine, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, geography, and physics. Biruni measured the earth more precisely than anyone else down to the sixteenth century, pondered a heliocentric universe, and hypothesized the existence of North and South America as inhabited continents.

Further, in this new revised fourth edition, there are sections on coupling from the past, Lévy processes, self-similarity and stability, time changes, and the holding-time\/jump-chain construction of continuous-time Markov chains. Finally, the number of exercises and problems has been increased by around 300 to a total of about 1300, and many of the existing exercises have been refreshed by additional parts.

Part 2, called \u003ci\u003eSigns of the times\u003c\/i\u003e, discusses some glyphs used in pol­itics, religion, and other areas of everyday life. Some of these symbols are common; others are used only rarely. Some are modern inventions; others, which seem contemporary, can be traced back many hundreds of years. Part 3, called \u003ci\u003eSigns and wonders\u003c\/i\u003e, explores some of the symbols people have developed for use in describing the heavens. These are some of the most visually striking glyphs in the book, and many of them date back to ancient times. Nevertheless their use — at least in professional arenas — is diminishing. Part 4, called \u003ci\u003eIt’s Greek to me\u003c\/i\u003e, examines some symbols used in various branches of science. A number of these symbols are employed routinely by professional scientists and are also familiar to the general public; others are no longer applied in a serious fashion by \u003ci\u003eanyone \u003c\/i\u003e— but the reader might still meet them, from time to time, in older works.

British university. … Their book consists of 20 independent chapters … including two on mechanics and two on differential equations. … Induction is done well, and there is material on logic and truth

The book covers an array of twenty topics, from simple inequalities to series, and is easy to read, which makes it ideal for self-study. … It is an easy and entertaining read. … a good book to have for any student taking mathematics courses, as well as for any teacher teaching mathematics courses.\" (Mihaela Poplicher, The Mathematical Association of America, April, 2009)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Bridging the Gap to University Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e is intended to do exactly what the title suggests. Gould and Hurst were, at the time of writing, both students and one gets the feeling that their desire is to tell prospective students what they themselves wish someone had told them before they embarked on their own mathematical journey at university…The book covers a broad range of topics…Well written and easy to read, it divides the material into twenty chapters, which are broken down into manageable chunks. Every chapter begins with ten ’test yourself’ questions designed to help the student discover whether they really do understand a particular topic. As each one is written as a single entity, not depending on preceding content, it is a book that students can dip in and out of rather than read from cover to cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is pleasantly laid out and contains numerous worked examples which clearly illustrate the more complicated concepts. Each subsection is followed by an exercise for the students to work through to test their understanding. All answers, to these and the starter questions, are provided at the back of the book enabling students to monitor their progress. Concluding each chapter is a very helpful section entitled ’where now?’ which explains how this area of mathematics might come into their university course and where it could lead to. Readers are helpfully referred to other texts for further, more in-depth, material or interest. Lastly, an appendix provides useful formulae and extension questions, this time with worked solutions...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is written in a fresh, conversational style that is neither patronising nor written in a format intended to solely appeal to the young.

Lewis F Richardson (1981-1953), a physicist by training, was a pioneer in meteorology and peace research and remains a towering presence in both fields. This edited volume reviews his work and assesses its influence in the social sciences, notably his work on arms races and their consequences, mathematical models, the size distribution of wars, and geographical features of conflict. It contains brief bibliographies of his main publications and of articles and books written about Richardson and his work and discusses his continuing influence in peace research and international relations as well as his attitude to the ethical responsibilities of a scientist. It will be of interest to a wide range of scholars.  This book includes 11 chapters written by Nils Petter Gleditsch, Dina A Zinnes, Ron Smith, Paul F Diehl, Kelly Kadera, Mark Crescenzi, Michael  D Ward, Kristian Skrede Gleditsch,  Nils B Weidmann, Jürgen Scheffran, Niall MacKay, Aaron Clauset, Michael Spagat and Stijn van Weezel.\u003cbr\u003eLewis F Richardson occupied an important position in two academic fields as different as meteorology and peace research, with academic prizes awarded in both disciplines.\u003cbr\u003eIn peace research, he pioneered the use of mathematical models and the meticulous compilation of databases for empirical research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a quaker and pacifist, he refused to work in preparations for war, paid a heavy prize in terms of his career, and (at least in the social sciences) was fully recognized as a pioneering scholar only posthumously with the publication of two major books.\u003cbr\u003eLewis Fry Richardson is one of the 20th century’s greatest but least appreciated thinkers—a creative physicist, psychologist, meteorologist, applied mathematician, historian, pacifist, statistician, and witty stylist. If you’ve heard of weather prediction, chaos, fractals, cliometrics, peace science, big data, thick tails, or black swans, then you have benefited from Richardson’s prescience in bringing unruly phenomena into the ambit of scientific understanding.
