Arts Entrepreneurship and Economic Development surveys the academic literature to provide a definition of arts entrepreneurship, delineate the characteristics of art entrepreneurs from other types of entrepreneurs, assess the best-practice strategies for cities promoting arts entrepreneurship, examine the proper role of government versus the private sector in promoting arts entrepreneurship, and to evaluate whether education and training can increase arts entrepreneurship. It concludes with prospects for the future of arts entrepreneurship.

The book presents a comprehensive guide to the study of Lie systems from the fundamentals of differential geometry to the development of contemporary research topics. It embraces several basic topics on differential geometry and the study of geometric structures while developing known applications in the theory of Lie systems. The book also includes a brief exploration of the applications of Lie systems to superequations, discrete systems, and partial differential equations.Offering a complete overview from the topic's foundations to the present, this book is an ideal resource for physics and mathematics students, doctoral students and researchers.

Studies of materials degradation, e.g. corrosion, have traditionally been divided into separate disciplines for each type of material. The control of materials degradation is also usually studied as a separate topic, e.g. corrosion and paints. It is difficult for a student to gain an overall view of the entire materials degradation problem with this scattered presentation of knowledge. This book offers a comprehensive review of the various forms of damage to all significant engineering materials, before proceeding to discuss both traditional and modern technologies of surface engineering for combating materials degradation. Scientific concepts are, wherever possible, illustrated graphically with numerous diagrams to ensure the maximum ease of understanding by students.

The special features of this book include the discussions of the interaction between nonlinearity and stochasticity, new perturbation methods for studying random fields, essentially nonlinear effects in stochastic problems, effects of nonlinearity on localization, and stochastic soliton dynamics. Anyone interested in nonlinear wave dynamics, nonlinear optics and radiophysics, and random field propagation will find this book valuable.

This book is about both the mathematics of sample surveys and about sample surveys. The mathematics is both elementary and rigorous. It is suitable for a one year junior-senior level course for mathematics and statistics majors as well as for students in the social sciences who are not handicapped by a fear of proofs in mathematics. It requires no previous knowledge of statistics, and it could actually serve as an introduction to statistics. A sizeable part of the book covers the discrete probability needed for the sampling methods covered. Topics then covered are: simple random sampling, sampling with unequal probabilities, linear relationships, stratified sampling, cluster sampling and two-stage sampling.

Remote sounding of the atmosphere has proved to be a fruitful method of obtaining global information about the atmospheres of the earth and other planets. This book treats comprehensively the inverse problem of remote sounding, and discusses a wide range of retrieval methods for extracting atmospheric parameters of interest from the quantities (thermal emission, for example) that can be measured remotely. Inverse theory is treated in depth from an estimation-theory point of view, but practical questions are also emphasized, such as designing observing systems to obtain the maximum quantity of information, efficient numerical implementation of algorithms for processing large quantities of data, error analysis and approaches to the validation of the resulting retrievals. The book is targeted at graduate students as well as scientists.

This book makes broadly accessible an understandable proof of the infamous spin-statistics theorem. This widely known but little-understood theorem is intended to explain the fact that electrons obey the Pauli exclusion principle. This fact, in turn, explains the periodic table of the elements and their chemical properties. Therefore, this one simply stated fact is responsible for many of the principal features of our universe, from chemistry to solid state physics to nuclear physics to the life cycle of stars. In spite of its fundamental importance, it is only a slight exaggeration to say that "everyone knows the spin-statistics theorem, but no one understands it". This book simplifies and clarifies the formal statements of the theorem, and also corrects the invariably flawed intuitive explanations which are frequently put forward.The book will be of interest to many practising physicists in all fields who have long been frustrated by the impenetrable discussions on the subject which have been available until now. It will also be accessible to students at an advanced undergraduate level as an introduction to modern physics based directly on the classical writings of the founders, including Pauli, Dirac, Heisenberg, Einstein and many others.

In this classic book, Professor Victor Fuchs draws on his deep understanding of the strengths and limitations of economics and his intimate knowledge of health care institutions to help readers understand the problems every nation faces in trying to allocate health resources efficiently and equitably. Six complementary papers dealing with national health insurance, poverty and health, and other policy issues, including his 1996 presidential address to the American Economic Association, accompany the original 1974 text. Health professionals, policy makers, social scientists, students and concerned citizens will all benefit from this highly readable, authoritative, and nuanced discussion of the difficult choices that lie ahead.
