Every Dog Has His Day

"This is the book which launched the 'neural network' paradigm in AI and cognitive psychology. It still serves well as an introduction into this field. It provides a very readable review of its history and basic ideas, as well as articles on pioneering work by Anderson, Feldman, Geman, Hinton, Kohonen, Sejnowski, Willshaw, and others."&#8212;Remko SchaBBN Laboratories

“Dov Dori provides an exceptional text book … . The flow of the material builds the readers competence providing the knowledge to absorb the extensive material. The information is provided in clear language and solid detail which facilitates easy access to the abstract notions modeling requires. … I highly recommend Systems Engineers, and especially engineers working to become expert in model-based systems engineering, to work through this book and gain an understanding and appreciation for this minimalist approach.” (Robert Kuhfahl, MITRE Corporation, 2017)

'A clear and sustained assault on the anti-intellectualism that proclaims: "It may be right in theory, but not in practice." Midgley scotches this: if an idea does not work in practice, something is wrong with the theory.' - New Scientist'Here is a philosophy book which is a pleasure to read from the point of view both of the argument, which is forceful, coherent and lucid, and of the style.' - Journal of Consciousness Studies'In a climate of loony scientism, Mary Midgley's Utopias, Dolphins and Computers is a powerful antidote - a mix of wisdom and humour.' - The Sunday Times

[A] daring and beautiful little book.&rdquo; &mdash;The Chicago Reader&ldquo;Silence Once Begun kept me up two nights running. It felt more real than the news and most documentaries and memoirs.

"Valuable for research libraries, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduate students interested in managing environmental problems. Recommended."-- CHOICE"As a scholar who has conducted extensive research on environmental governance for multiple decades, I found Oran Young's new book outstanding. He covers all of the key issues involved in environmental governance at multiple scales using an intriguing and cumulative approach. I strongly recommend this book..."-- the late Elinor Ostrom, Nobel Laureate and Distinguished Professor and Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science at Indiana University--Bloomington"In this elegant and powerful book--the distillation of a lifetime of brilliant theory combined with a lifetime of empirical experience--Oran Young presents humanity the key to continuing our civilization and avoiding the planetary disasters a failure of environmental governance will otherwise bring."-- Durwood Zaelke, President, the Institute on Governance for Sustainable Development"I consider this concise volume the most insightful and illuminating account of the subject of environmental governance for a globalized world. The conversational style brings clarity to subtle distinctions and connections between and among the many complex concepts in the field. It undoubtedly serves as a toolkit of huge importance to analysis and praxis of the daunting challenges facing China, a major variable contributing to the Great Acceleration in the age of Anthropocene."-- Ye Qi, Professor of Environmental Policy and Director of the Climate Policy Initiative at Tsinghua University--Beijing

On Environmental Governance

"O'Neil has written a pragmatic and incisive account of why nuclear deterrence strategy remains a contemporary hallmark of Northeast Asia's geopolitics. His basic argument that the interests of present and potential nuclear actors in Northeast Asia will invariably prevail over idealistic but ephemeral norms of nuclear disarmament needs to be read and debated by all serious regional and international security scholars.Combining lucid analysis of the region's most critical strategic dynamics with extensive empirical research, the author has provided us with an important statement on how to prioritise and implement the 'nuclear question' at a time when its importance is all too often underplayed." - Professor William T. Tow, Department of International Relations, Australian National University, author of Asia-Pacific Strategic Relations"This book is essential reading for policy makers, academics and the public. Acknowledging that the nuclear non-proliferation regime is in desperate trouble, O'Neill asks the hard questions: how will this affect the already unstable Northeast Asian region; and how can we best prevent nuclear conflict there? His argument goes beyond the current orthodoxy that the NPT is our only chance of keeping the nuclear peace, and proposes some important and provocative ways forward."

"There is definitely a need for this book written in the language of the phylogeneticist. The general organization of the book is good. This book addresses a broad range of topics in a way that makes them comprehensible to people who are not experts in bioinformatics and will be extremely influential. Jennings has been in on the ground floor of the multilocus coalescent revolution in phylogenetics."

Jim McGuire, University of California Berkeley
"Genome sequencing technologies and data collection techniques are changing rapidly, and this book is a great resource for getting up to speed in this exciting field. Jennings outlines the essential data collection strategies that all students entering the field of molecular systematics need to know. "

Adam Leaché, University of Washington, Seattle
"This new book by evolutionary biologist Bryan Jennings brings together a wealth of useful information allowing researchers to move from start to finish in the rapidly changing field of phylogenomics. It details step-by-step protocols and provides masterful summaries of best practices for the modern phylogeneticist. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and principal investigators will find this book extremely useful. Jennings cuts through the jungle of sometimes conflicting information and provides cogent reviews of important topics and guidelines for avoiding common pitfalls."

" … a comprehensive textbook on the many aspects of polymer chemistry, physics, and engineering…provides excellent problem examples for self study by the student…Given the nature of the text, I thought that the book was a good value.  It provided references to many areas in polymer science, minimizing the number of books on my shelf.  The format was very readable and consistent throughout the book.  The examples greatly aided in understanding of the subject matter…an outstanding undergraduate book."--Andrew Auerbach, in Polymer News, Vol. 26, No. 8 "I would recommend this as a reference text from the point of view covering the principles…"-Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7
