"This book gives an excellent review of polymeric nanocomposites for dielectric applications, a truly interdisciplinary field between chemistry, physics, and electrical engineering. It covers fundamental concepts and historical reviews of the scientific progress as well as new enablers for a rapid advance in this area. These include methods to chemically design interfaces on a molecular level, three-dimensional imaging technologies on a nanometer level, and the rapid progress in material simulations. From an engineering point of view, the book discusses current and new application areas for nanocomposite dielectrics in the electric power and electronics industry. An outstanding reference for both scientists and engineers."—Dr. Henrik Hillborg, ABB, Sweden
"This book brings together contributions from researchers active in the area of nanocomposites for electrical applications. Nano-tailoring is the theme of this book. The book is loaded with the most recent information on nanodielectric research, information that can be applied by those who develop their own nanocomposites. Researchers working in this area of research will greatly benefit from reading this book. So also will those in electrical power engineering technology, who will be able to use it to understand the implications of nanocomposite materials for the future of power distribution, and other applications where dielectric and insulating materials exposed to an electric field can offer significantly improved electrical properties as a result of inclusion of nanoparticles."

An Introduction to Portfolio Theory and Management

Investment Analysis

Developmental science has moved irrevocably away from reductionist and mechanist conceptions and embraced dynamic, relational developmental systems models and methods as cutting-edge means to describe, explain, and optimize development across life. Professors Skinner, Kindermann, and Mashburn have written a singularly timely, important, creative and masterful work that provides a compelling roadmap for traversing from the developmental science of the past to its dynamic systems present and future. Their book should be required reading for developmental scientists and students seeking to understand and to enhance the life-span development of the diverse people of our world. 
Richard M. Lerner, Bergstrom Chair in Applied Developmental Science and Director, Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development, Tufts University
This is a superb contribution to the lifespan literature. I believe that my late friend and colleague, Paul Baltes, would also be proud of the volume for a number of reasons. Paul played a direct role in the training of the authors and he took his teaching responsibilities very seriously. The authors have captured "basic Baltes" and brought it into developmental systems science with understanding, panache, and no small amount of humor. The authors’ metaphorical journey extends the notion of a trajectory; a concept often invoked by Baltes and other lifespan scientists. Appropriate for both advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text will be instrumental in realizing the hopes early generation lifespan developmental scientists held for the advances to come from later generations.

John R. Nesselroade, Hugh Scott Hamilton Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Virginia
In this incisive advanced textbook, Skinner, Kindermann, and Mashburn systematically articulate and evaluate the deep-seated assumptions behind theory and method in developmental science. They not only map out, in cogent and clear-cut fashion, the metatheoretical and metamethodological landscape of developmental science, but they do so without ever losing sight of the nuanced complexity that characterizes such terrain. With humor and cutting edge sensibilities, their textbook provides a treasure trove of insights and pedagogical resources perfectly suited to fostering substantive, critical thinking about what it means to adopt a truly developmental perspective.

"This unique book describes the current evolution of astronomical instruments in the way of high-resolution observations. The book nicely specifies the special requirements for detectors, which must respond fast for mitigating the degrading effect of the atmospheric turbulence.　It should be of interest to professional and amateur astronomers, particularly those who may want to attempt forms of high-resolution observation, some of which are becoming widely accessible."
—Antoine Labeyrie, Emeritus Professor, Collège de France, France

"Prof. Saha has done a splendid job by presenting a succinct description of the principles and applications of radiation detectors used for high-resolution imaging in visible and infrared astronomy. The scope of the book, however, extends to all areas of high-resolution imaging, and the book will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone interested in learning about the state of the art in the field."

—Prof. Lakshminarayan Hazra, University of Calcutta, India

"In the present volume, Saha has used his expertise in instrumentation and data analysis to expand his horizons to a wider range of high-resolution imaging techniques, essential characteristics of detectors and control electronics, and other wavelength ranges and kinds of astronomical sources. This book will be a valuable resource for astronomers and students involved in the design of modern instrumentation and attempting to take and make use of data with instrumentation that they did not design."

"Akhtar and Abbasi have brought together a number of illustrious contributors to elucidate a topic of vital importance. ‘Privacy’ is relevant not only to psychotherapists and their patients but to all of us in our daily lives despite varying cultural, developmental and clinical definitions. All human beings have a private part of themselves that should be respected. The editors and their contributors underline and broaden the meaning of our precious ‘right’ to physical and mental privacy. This discourse is urgently needed in this day and age in which the ‘right to privacy’ is under siege." Mary Kay O’Neil, PhD, Supervising and Training Psychoanalyst, Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis, Toronto
"This fascinating book on privacy deserves, ironically, to become widely known. It brings attention to a vitally important but somewhat ignored topic which has been hiding in plain sight for too long. The delineation of the subjective realm we deem private turns out to have developmental roots, cultural variations, clinical applications, and political implications. This volume is essential reading, especially in this cyber era, where the right to privacy and the value of privacy is challenged on a daily basis."

Researchers studying adolescent development have often identified that one size does not fit all. For a long time we have lacked the proper tools to explore these individual processes in adolescent development. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach is a roadmap for encouraging wonder and discovery of these individual processes. Now it is time to make a difference and take seriously the individual processes when studying adolescent development. Dynamic Systems Approach (DSA) is the fundamental approach behind the roadmap. Like any forefront scientific investigation, DSA gives us new tools and methods to examine individual processes. It seems possible that widespread use of these techniques could spur a return to the kind of new approachthat is now needed in adolescent research globally. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach is a much needed call to join an important new approach. It encourages us all to ask new questions. It inspires us to share the questions we ask every day. It motivates us to keep asking until we find routes to the answers. In a world where understanding diverse and individual pathways is essential, the DSA approach offers a richer way to solve these problems as a worldwide community of curious people who wonder about the fundamental new insights of the adolescent development.
