Immunological Computation: Theory and Applications Dipankar Dasgupta, Fernando Nino
 Over the last decade, the field of immunological computation has progressed slowly and steadily as a branch of computational intelligence. Immunological Computation: Theory and Applications presents up-to-date immunity-based computational techniques. After a brief review of fundamental immunology concepts, the book presents computational models based on the negative selection process that occurs in the thymus. It then examines immune networks, including continuous and discrete immune network models, clonal selection, hybrid models, and computational models based on danger theory. The book also discusses real-world applications for all of the models covered in each chapter....

A Revolution Down on the Farm: The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929 (None) Paul K. Conkin
 Agriculture is the most fundamental of all human activities. Today, those who till the soil or tend livestock feed a world population of approximately 6.5 billion. Fifty years ago, the planet could not have sustained such a large population, and according to present projections, farmers will have to feed nine billion people by 2050. The greatest agricultural revolution in history has occurred in the last fifty years , with farmers in the United States leading the way. America’s declining number of farms, however, comes as a surprise to many and may have dramatic implications. Paul K. Conkin’s A Revolution Down on the Farm: The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929 charts the profound changes in farming that have occurred during his lifetime. Conkin’s personal experience growing up on a small Tennessee farm complements compelling statistical data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Using economic and historical analysis, Conkin assesses the skills, new technologies,......

Special Relativity and How it Works Moses Fayngold
 Based on his successful work Special Relativity and Motions Faster than Light, Moses Fayngold has written a thorough presentation of the special theory of relativity. The unique feature of the textbook is its two-leveled structure helping students to master the material more effectively: the first level presents a qualitative discussion of a problem, while the second one contains its rigorous treatment. Fayngold points out the connection between fundamental principles and known phenomena. In three new chapters on 'Relativity at Work' (Electromagnetism, Optics, Quantum Mechanics), he not only shows what relativity is, but also how it works. The scope of new material extends to include a chapter on Causality and on Applied Relativity, including astrophysical and accelerator topics. Backed throughout by numerous examples and exercises....

Brain and Culture: Neurobiology, Ideology, and Social Change Bruce E. Wexler
 Research shows that between birth and early adulthood the brain requires sensory stimulation to develop physically. The nature of the stimulation shapes the connections among neurons that create the neuronal networks necessary for thought and behavior. By changing the cultural environment, each generation shapes the brains of the next. By early adulthood, the neuroplasticity of the brain is greatly reduced, and this leads to a fundamental shift in the relationship between the individual and the environment: during the first part of life, the brain and mind shape themselves to the major recurring features of their environment; by early adulthood, the individual attempts to make the environment conform to the established internal structures of the brain and mind. In Brain and Culture, Bruce Wexler explores the social implications of the close and changing neurobiological relationship between the individual and the environment, with particular attention to the difficulties individuals......

Raising Cane in the 'Glades: The Global Sugar Trade and the Transformation of Florida Gail M. Hollander
 Over the last century, the Everglades underwent a metaphorical and ecological transition from impenetrable swamp to endangered wetland. At the heart of this transformation lies the Florida sugar industry, which by the 1990s was at the center of the political storm over the multi-billion dollar ecological “restoration” of the Everglades. Raising Cane in the ’Glades is the first study to situate the environmental transformation of the Everglades within the economic and historical geography of global sugar production and trade.Using, among other sources, interviews, government and corporate documents, and recently declassified U.S. State Department memoranda, Gail M. Hollander demonstrates that the development of Florida’s sugar region was the outcome of pitched battles reaching the highest political offices in the U.S. and in countries around the world, especially Cuba—which emerges in her narrative as a model, a competitor, and the regional “other” to Florida’s “self.” Spanning the......

Textbook of Psychotherapeutic Treatments in Psychiatry
 Carefully matching the psychotherapeutic modality to the patient or client is critical to treatment outcomes. This up-to-date, scientifically rigorous, and exhaustive volume both teaches and facilitates that meticulous process. Sure to become the standard text for all students and practicing psychotherapists, whatever their background psychiatry, psychology, or social work the Textbook of Psychotherapeutic Treatments addresses all the major psychotherapeutic modalities in one comprehensive, authoritative volume. As the literature empirically validating psychotherapy as a treatment has expanded and the range of available psychotherapies has grown, the need for such a book has become critical. Glen Gabbard, the author or editor of more than 22 books and over 280 scientific papers and book chapters in the fields of psychiatry and psychoanalysis, has assembled 50 of the field s most renowned experts in every psychotherapeutic school of thought to create this definitive, masterfully......

Intelligent Techniques and Tools for Novel System Architectures (Studies in Computational Intelligence)
 This volume provides a source wherein academics, researchers and practitioners may derive high-quality, original and state-of-the-art papers describing theoretical aspects, systems architectures, analysis and design tools and techniques, and implementatio experiences in intelligent systems where information and knowledge management should be mainly characterised as a net-centric infrastructure riding on the fifth wave of "distributed intelligence". An urgent need for editing such a volume has occurredas a result of vivid discussions and presentations at the “IEEE-IS’ 2006 – The 2006 Third International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Systems” held in London, UK, at the University of Westminster in the beginning of September, 2006. This book is a compiltion of many valuable inspiring works written by both the conference participants and some other experts in this new and challenging field....
