George F. Kennan, former United States ambassador to the Soviet Union and a leading authority on Soviet affairs, traces Soviet foreign policy from the moment of the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 to the involvement of Russia in the Second World War. Professor Kennan explores the political and personal motivations of the Soviet leaders, the nature of the policies they pursued, and the significance of their actions.

<p>At last, in a single volume, here is a sweeping, historical survey of interior design, decoration, and furniture. Starting around 3200 B.C., at the height of artistic development in ancient Egypt, Professor Blakemore takes us on a beautifully written and illustrated journey across five millennia of stylistic periods. Unique in its comprehensive approach, this book is a much needed addition to the existing literature on the history of interior design. 100 color illus., plus line drawings and halftones.</p>

For more than forty years this text has been educating students about the history of city planning and its contemporary practice. The sixth edition brings students up-to-date with new coverage of computer modeling, the new exurbia and megalopolis, seismic issues, hazardous waste, development vs. no growth, environmental concerns, and participatory planning.

Topological Geometry (New University Mathematics)

The earlier chapter of this self-contained text provide a route from first principles through standard linear and quadratic algebra to geometric algebra, with Clifford's geometric algebras taking pride of place. In parallel with this is an account, also from first principles, of the elementary theory of topological spaces and of continuous and differentiable maps that leads up to the definitions of smooth manifolds and their tangent spaces and of Lie groups and Lie algebras. The calculus is presented as far as possible in basis free form to emphasize its geometrical flavour and its linear algebra content. In this second edition Dr Porteous has taken the opportunity to add a chapter on triality which extends earlier work on the Spin groups in the chapter on Clifford algebras. The details include a number of important transitive group actions and a description of one of the exceptional Lie groups, the group G2. A number of corrections and improvements have also been made. There are many exercises throughout the book and senior undergraduates in mathematics as well as first-year graduate students will continue to find it stimulating and rewarding.
