This textbook is aimed at newcomers to nonlinear dynamics and chaos, especially students taking a first course in the subject. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by phase plane analysis, limit cycles and their bifurcations, and culminating with the Lorenz equations, chaos, iterated maps, period doubling, renormalizatio...

What are you, who are you and where are you going? - the beginner's guide to modern science

Focuses on the well-known genes, developmental processes and taxa. This book builds logically from developmental genetics and regulatory mechanisms to evolution at different genetic morphological levels.

A little over a decade since its first publication, the hypotheses set out in Manuel Castells' groundbreaking trilogy have largely been verified. In a substantial new preface to the first volume in the series, Castells demonstrates, in the light of major world trends, how the network society has now fully risen on a global scale.

This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core...

Het gevoel dat we onderling en met het universum verbonden zijn is niet nieuw. Traditionele volkeren waren zich bewust van immateriële connecties en ze maakten deel uit van hun dagelijks leven. De moderne wetenschap ontkent deze connecties en gelooft alleen in dat wat zichtbaar is of wetenschappelijk bewezen. Twintig vooraanstaande deskundigen op het terrein van psychiatrie, natuurkunde, filosofie, antropologie, bijna-doodervaring en spiritualiteit vertellen over hun ervaring en interactie m...

Inzicht en uitzicht op het grootse panorama van de moderne natuurwetenschap, dat is in het kort hetgeen de schrijver ons biedt. Men stelle zich voor dat men zijn gehele leven in een dal gewoond heeft. Het ligt voor de hand dat men meent zijn dal te kennen. Nu gaat met voor het eerst een reis naar de buitenwereld ondernemen. Staande op de bergen die ons dal omringen kijken we vol verwachting naar de nieuwe wereld die we zullen gaan bezoeken, maar we kijken nog even om. Daar zien we ons vertrou...
