The essential guide to looking at literature with your own two eyes.
What students know about Shakespeare, Orwell, Dickens, and Twain is primarily what their instructors tell them. Here’s a book that teaches the students how to move on to the next level—evaluate and read critically on their own, trust their own opinions, develop original ideas, analyze characters, and find a deeper appreciation for fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and more.

This unique volume is a comprehensive, well-illustrated study of the organization of the white matter pathways of the brain. Schmahmann and Pandya have analyzed and synthesized the corticocortical and corticosubcortical connections of the major areas of the cerebral cortex of the rhesus monkey. The result is a detailed understanding of the constituents of the cerebral white matter and the organization of the fiber tracts. The findings from the 36 cases studied are presented on a single template brain, facilitating comparison of the locations of the different fiber pathways.

Fruit Manufacturing emphasizes the products rather than the processes, procedures, or plant operations. It presents the influence on a fruit product’s quality in relation to the different processing methods, from freezing to high temperature techniques, and discusses the origin of deterioration, kinetics of negative reactions, and methods for inhibition and control of the same. Probable changes in thermodynamical, thermophysical and rheological properties and parameters during processing of fruits at a wide range of soluble solids, temperatures and pressure are also summarized.

This book continues and revises the ideas of justice as fairness that John Rawls presented in A Theory of Justicebut changes its philosophical interpretation in a fundamental way.

In this groundbreaking new book, Manuel Delanda analyzes all the different genres of simulation (from cellular automata and genetic algorithms to neural nets and multi-agent systems) as a means to conceptualize the possibility spaces associated with causal (and other) capacities. Simulations allow us to stage actual interactions among a population of agents and to observe the emergent wholes that result from those interactions. Simulations have become as important as mathematical models in theoretical science.
