Reconciling Risks and Opportunities

Expanding Access to Research Data

From the reviews:“This volume illustrates many applications of wildlife ecotoxicology to environmental policy and litigation. It describes detectives exploring toxicologic causes of the morbidity and mortality of individual organisms and declines of wildlife populations. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals; informed general readers.” (J. Burger, Choice, Vol. 49 (9), May, 2012)“Wildlife Ecotoxicology might look like heavy going but is actually much more accessible than most collections of research papers. … Stories are told, both environmental and human, that should open up the subject to a broader audience. … By bringing both the peregrine falcon and vulture stories together, we get a real sense of how the field has changed over the last 50 years and appreciate the ongoing need for dedicated ecotoxicologists. Highly recommended.” (Ian Powell, The Biologist, Vol. 59 (4), October, 2012)“This book presents 13 examples of investigations of either the effects of single chemicals or site contamination on wildlife (ecological risk assessments) or of the causes of observed effects (ecological causal assessments). … This book will be interesting to professional ecotoxicologists who are likely to know of many of these cases and some of the participants. It would be an excellent adjunct to conventional ecotoxicology texts in graduate programs.” (Glenn Suter, Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Vol. 8 (2), January, 2012)

“The book under review provides a very useful insight into the theory of dessins, and on its deep relationship with a number of mathematical distant fields. It is excellently written, and the Chapters are somewhat independent, in the sense that they have their own abstract, keywords and references. Of course, it is worth noting that the authors have contributed themselves to many of the results included in the book, most of which are really recent.” (José Javier Etayo, zbMATH, August, 2017)“This book allows the reader familiar with the analytic aspects of the theory of Riemann surfaces to develop a feeling for the arithmetic aspects of these objects. … The reader interested in diving deeper into any of these aspects will most certainly find this well-written book to be of much help.” (Ariyan Javanpeykar, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2017)“The book is intended for properly trained mathematics graduate students or researchers. … The text is also regularly interrupted by formulations of exercises which ask to prove some intermediate result or apply a definition in a particular situation (some brief hints are added at the end of the book). The book can thus be used as a textbook for a course on this fascinating topic.” (Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society, euro-math-soc.eu, April, 2016)

’This volume provides a highly inspiring discussion for scholars seeking to understand the roots and evolution of constitutionalism, freed from a Euro-centric straitjacket. A must-read work for both political scientists and historians looking for a new research paradigm in the globalized world.’ Bee Yun, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea  ’This book is path-breaking not only because it compares Islamic Constitutionalism, which theorizes legal practices of millennia old Middle Eastern states, with much younger Western jurisprudence. But also because it faces the paradox that orientalist and neo-colonial interventions have made it inconceivable to most people that the Middle East could ever have enjoyed rule of law. These neo-colonial interventions had the power to change reality on the ground with the consequence that the Arab Spring, that great rebellion against the new realities of Middle Eastern post-colonial authoritarian states, has now created a new set of realities. Is Islamic rule of law retrievable? And can it ever again be reconciled with Western jurisprudence?’ Patricia Springborg, Humboldt University, Germany

"This book, with its unique approach to learning, allows individual employees to understand and apply the critical discipline of mistake-proofing to accomplish the goal of zero defects."  Gifford Brown, Plant Manager, Ford Motor Company, Cleveland Engine Plant 2 06/01/04   "Mistake-Proofing for Operators presents Dr. Shingo's concept of ZQC in a format for maximized breadth and depth of learning. The best poke-yoke opportunities are discovered by production employees and can often be employed for only a few dollars but only if employees have been trained to identify the opportunities. Any manager who truly wishes to empower his or her employees to drive out defects should use this book for ZQC training."  Bruce Hamilton, VP of Operations, United Electric Controls Company 06/01/04

"Professor Eliezer, who is well known for his work on laser-plasma interactions, has produced a very welcome text which will provide a good introduction for people entering the field and a useful reference for those already working in it. … the book provides an introduction to the many questions which are currently of interest in laser-plasma interactions. As an up-to-date and accessible account of the subject it is to be welcomed." -Journal of Plasma Physics "The author has clearly used his extensive experience and understanding of the pedagogical and communication issues involved to produce a well-written text in which topics are presented to the reader with well-managed timing. Key terms are highlighted in bold type when first encountered so that the reader can hone in quickly on them, simply dipping into the book to refresh the memory or to clarify particular points of physics.Eliezer's text brings together three decades of the understanding of the underlying intense-laser plasma physics into a single unified resource. Although an ambitious goal, he succeeds admirably and [this book] is an ideal starting point for any graduate student entering this exciting area as well as providing a single, high-quality, comprehensive, and self-contained resource for the growing researcher community in intense laser-matter interaction."- J.T. Costello, in Contemporary Physics, 2003, 44(4)  "This is a very good and long awaited book that deals with the exciting field of laser matter interaction. The book will be a great tool for both professionals and students. The author has made an outstanding effort to provide a clear and updated view of the current status of the field. The combination of derivations based on basic principles coupled with the realistic conditions makes this book very useful to those who have been working or just entering into this rapidly evolving field." - Professor A. Zigler, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel "[The book] provides an pedagogical introduction into the various topics, which will serve as an excellent textbook for students and researchers working in that field. …The different approaches to plasma physics are clearly presented in a highly educative manner. Eliezer has done an outstanding job in presenting the whole field of modern plasma physics generated by lasers starting from first principles. … the reader is always able to focus on the physics without getting confused by a too mathematical approach. Eliezer managed to include actual examples exactly at the right point, so the reader can get a feeling for the importance of different effects in present experiments … the book presents an invaluable source of knowledge for laser plasma interaction offered in excellent format. … The concepts are clearly displayed; the reader is guided, step by step through the individual processes up to the final physics expressions. Finally the results are presented in appropriate units and examples are given with respect to state-of-the-art experiments. The book is surely one of the best textbooks written for this field of research. It is easy to read, and it is fascinating to follow the path from basic equations to the full beauty of the final results … Shalom Eliezer should be thanked for keeping the promise of providing an outstanding pedagogical presentation of modern laser and plasma physics." -Professor Dr. Markus Roth, in Laser and Particle Beams "The book is well written and will serve as a valuable asset for graduate students and physicists working in the area of laser plasma interactions and high energy astrophysics. It should also be useful for teaching master level courses on laser plasma interactions. The reviewer highly recommends the book to the interested reader." -P.K. Shukla in the Journal of Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion "The book is excellent, actually peerless. It gives a comprehensive view of the basics of laser-plasma interaction and arrives to the main topics to study the macroscopic reaction of the plasma: shock waves and hydro-instabilities. Easy to read and accurate." -Professor Martinez-Val "This book will serve nicely the community of laser fusion. It compactly surveys the various fields of relevance to laser fusion science." -Professor T. Tajima "This book is a timely contribution to the teaching of collective wave behaviours in the interaction of high flux lasers with dense and hot plasmas … . The presentation of the given material is actually impressive. Concepts are clearly introduced and historical remarks lighten adequately the flow of equations. Final physical expressions are carefully displayed in appropriate units … . All in all Shalom Eliezer should be warmly thanked for such a remarkable textbook that could be on the shelves of nearly every graduate student in plasma physics, inertial fusion physics, and even astrophysics." -Professor Claude Deutsch "… the intended readership includes undergraduates and graduate students, and the book is also meant to be a comprehensive presentation of the basic physics for the advance researcher.… its very careful presentation of the physics of lasers, plasmas, and their interactions provides a sound basis for anyone, from advanced undergraduates onward to those interested in the field. Libraries serving physics and engineering departments will find this to be a useful addition to their collections." - Robert Michaelson in E-Streams, 6(4)

The Interaction of High-Power Lasers with Plasmas

Spirituality and Sustainable Development was honored as a finalist in the 2014 International Book Award.

"At last! Here is a book which gets to the real root of the problem. For 60 years, we have had people telling us that problems of poverty, inequality, unsustainability and unhappiness could be solved by Western economics and technology. These misconstrued solutions only further worsened the problems. Now, however, Rohana Ulluwishewa has dared to expose greed as the ultimate cause. Only by spirituality, whether religious or non-religious, can this greed be curbed and the author explains how this can be done." - John Flenley, Emeritus Professor of Geography, Massey University, New Zealand

"This book is of utmost importance in understanding the issues and meeting the challenges of sustainable economic development. The author reframes sustainable development as a challenge that begins internally, within the individual, rather than externally, in the environment or society. The internal challenge can only be met by developing the spiritual dimension of the individual or the spiritual self. The book is well-thought-out, well-documented and well-written. It guides the reader down a clear path of purpose towards sustainable economic development." - John Ikerd, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics, University of Missouri, USA

"Spirituality and Sustainable Development is a powerful exposé of the price of greed and how one person can spark inner change. I enjoyed the author's doable solution suggestions and the non-preachy presentation of the subject matter. Overall, Spirituality and Sustainable Development is an insightful journey into the possibilities of what could be." - Suzanne Cowles, Readers' Favorite

"The volume has made a significant contribution towards our understanding of what is called sustainable development and the ways of achieving it. Each one of us can make a difference by taking the steps essential for a more healthy and contented lifestyle. This volume is published in the UK. What the author says should have a familiar ring in the Eastern countries, apart from the Western audience it appears to be targeting." - The Island

'The message give by Rohana Ulluwishewa is timely and it has to be taken very seriously ... The policy makers who stand for universal social welfare system owe a debt of gratitude to Rohana Ulluwishewa for his untiring efforts to bring out this valuable book.' - Sunday Observer, Sri Lanka

'Many books have focused on economic and social development, but few have included spiritual development. This important new book firmly emphasises the need for the latter if we are to function and evolve as human beings ... A recent and valuable contribution.' - New Zealand Buddhist Council

'This book by Rohana Ulluwishewa is not only evidence of scholarly endeavour but also an interesting, challenging and engaging read, especially for theosophists, as so much of what Rohana has to say resonates with the theosophical approach.' - Theosophia

From the reviews:"This book unveils the mystery behind the performance gap between ASIC and Custom design and shows how to close the gap with minimal design effort. A must read for every ASIC or ASSP designer."(William J. Dally, Professor, Stanford University) "Most IP core providers must provide high-performance designs within the constraints of an ASIC methodology. I'm optimistic that careful application of the techniques in this book will enable me to design embedded processors that do indeed close `the Gap Between ASIC and Custom'." (Kees Vissers, Director of Architecture, Trimedia Technologies Inc.)"This book provides a comprehensive explanation of why ASICs fall so far behind custom ICs in performance, and then shows how better tools, libraries and methodologies can narrow the gap. It's a must read for ASIC designers who want to boost performance - or custom designers who want to speed time to market with ASIC-like design methodologies." (Richard Goering, EDA Editorial Director, EE Times)"I've heard there is a price on the authors' heads. Power Users don't like people who give away their secrets."(Gary Smith, Chief Analyst, Dataquest)"This book reflects the best research to date on understanding the tradeoffs between full-custom intellectual property blocks and synthesized intellectual-property blocks - a topic we could only touch on in the Reuse Methodology Manual. It is required reading for anyone engaged in system-on-a-chip design." (Michael Keating, author of the Reuse Methodology Manual, Vice-President, Synopsys) "Solves one of life's little mysteries[...] It looks like it should become required reading for the IC innovators of this millennium." (Neil Weste, author of Principles of CMOS VLSI Design, Cisco Systems, Inc.)
