Tome 1 : Les Enfants de la Prophétie

Sélène

Intra-municipal decentralisation in Scandinavian cities is unique with regard to the volume of services devolved to urban districts. The book investigates the democratic and efficiency effects of decentralisation reforms in six major Scandinavian cities. Special attention is given to consequences of different institutional arrangements as well as to providing an understanding of reform processes. Data for the descriptions and analyses are provided by a number of sources: Surveys with district politicians and samples of citizens, published evaluation reports and interview data from three case studies especially done for this study. Institutional arrangements differ between Copenhagen with relatively autonomous districts and Swedish and Norwegian cities whose districts are more closely integrated with the centre. These differences do matter, both with regard to reform effects and the trajectories of reform processes. Institutionalisation, adaptation and power seeking behaviour of political parties are important factors for understanding the reform processes.

From the reviews:

"This book constitutes an authoritative treatise of the random cluster model and its applications. It will be indispensable for anyone working on this and related subjects and can provide the basis for a graduate course or seminar." (Anton Bovier, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1122 (24), 2007)
"This text is the first reference book devoted to the random-cluster model. The author knows the matter very well, since he is one of the first mathematicians who worked on this model. … This is a very useful book, because it is very well written and collects results that are currently disseminated in the literature." (Olivier Garet, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 m)
"The random-cluster model was discovered in the late 1960s by P. W. Kasteleyn and his doctoral student C. M. Fortuin … . can be used in two ways: as an easily accessible introduction to the field for the newcomer, and as a valuable reference work of the present state of the art for the expert. The book is a must for anyone interested in percolation and mathematical Statistical Mechanics, and will certainly continue the success … ." (Hans-Otto Georgii, Combinatorics, Probability and Computing, Vol. 17, 2008)
"Readership: Probabilists, ranging from graduate students in general to experts on the random-cluster and related models. … The random-cluster model is a generalization of standard bond percolation. … In the random-cluster model, the probability distribution is perturbed by a factor q raised to the number of connected components. … The clarity of the exposition makes the book ideal for graduate students and other novices to the model." (Olle Häggström, International Statistical Review, Vol. 75 (2), 2007)

The Random-Cluster Model

From the reviews:

"A concise, practical guide intended for trainees in general and vascular surgery as well as emergency room physicians. … this book is unique because of its nearly comprehensive coverage of the problem in a small format suitable for the target audience. … Overall, I have to congratulate the authors on a job well done. … is a definite must buy for the target audience. I will have this guide handy at all times, as even an experienced vascular surgeon may find it helpful." (Michael Klyachkin, World Journal of Surgery, Vol. 32, 2008)
"This text serves as an excellent overview of common emergencies that may be encountered in any vascular practice, emergency department, or trauma bay. This text is a guide intended for practitioners who regularly evaluate vascular emergencies ... . This book is ideal for the surgical house officer or the emergency department physician exposed to vascular emergencies ... . The discussions are well written and presented in an easy-to-understand format ... . it serves as an excellent reference source for those learning vascular surgery." (Todd R. Vogel, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 300 (18), November, 2008)
"This is a concise overview of the major vascular emergencies and the treatment and management of each condition. … the audience includes surgical trainees or any physicians who encounter vascular surgical patients in the emergency department. … Overall, this is a concise review of major vascular emergencies suitable for medical students, surgical trainees, emergency department physicians, or any physician with limited experience with vascular surgery. It is most appropriate as a simple guide for nonvascular surgeons." (Katherine Brown, Doody’s Review Services, January, 2009)

From the reviews:

"The book is about sub-Laplacians on stratified Lie groups. The authors present the material using an elementary approach. They achieve the level of current research starting from the basic notions of differential geometry and Lie group theory. The book is full of extensive examples which illustrate the general problems and results. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter. … The book is clearly and carefully written. It will be useful for both the graduate student and researchers in different areas." (Roman Urban, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1128 (6), 2008)
"The monograph under review is a comprehensive treatment of many interesting results regarding subelliptic partial differential equations. The first aim of this book is to give a complete overview on stratified Lie groups and their Lie algebras of left-invariant vector fields. … addressed to specialists in this area." (Maria Stella Fanciullo, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 m)

Stratified Lie Groups and Potential Theory for Their Sub-Laplacians

"This book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in carrying out experimental research on algorithms and heuristics for optimization problems. ... Don’t keep this book on the shelf: read it, and apply the techniques and tools contained herein to your own algorithmic research project. Your experiments will become more efficient and more trustworthy, and your experimental data will lead to clearer and deeper insights about performance." (Catherine C. McGeoch, Amherst College) "Here you will find aspects that are treated scientifically by the experts in this exciting domain offering their up-to-date know-how and even leading into philosophical domains." (Hans-Paul Schwefel, Technische Universität Dortmund)"[This] book ... is a solid and comprehensive step forward in the right direction. [It] not only covers adequate comparison of methodologies but also the tools aimed at helping in algorithm design and understanding, something that is being recently referred to as 'Algorithm Engineering'. [It] is of interest to two distinct audiences. First and foremost, it is targeted at the whole operations research and management science, artificial intelligence and computer science communities with a loud and clear cry for attention. Strong, sound and reliable tools should be employed for the comparison and assessment of algorithms and also for more structured algorithm engineering. Given the level of detail of some other chapters however, a second potential audience could be made up of those researchers interested in the core topic of algorithm assessment. The long list of contributors to this book includes top notch and experienced researchers that, together, set the trend in the field. As a result, those interested in this specific area of analysis of optimization algorithms should not miss this book under any circumstance. ... The careful, sound, detailed and comprehensive assessment of optimization algorithms is a necessity that requires attention and care. As a result, my opinion is that this book should be followed and that it should be at the top of every experimenter’s table." (Rubén Ruiz, European Journal of Operational Research, 2011, 214(2):453-456)

"Federico M. Petrucci offers a lucid and fascinating overview of Calvenus Taurus, a thinker who played an important, and so far unnoticed, role in the history of post-Hellenistic philosophy. Through a fresh analysis of extant sources, he brilliantly shows that Taurus did radically reshape the coordinates of Platonism, especially in the fields of cosmology and theology, and at the same time makes a case for the existence of a distinctive methodological core of Middle Platonist exegesis. Written in a clear style and singularly rich in its conclusions, this book will certainly become a reference point for all interested in the philosophy of the Imperial age."- Mauro Bonazzi, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy"This book is remarkable in its mastery of philology and the rigor of its interpretation."- Luc Brisson, Centre Jean Pépin, CNRS-ENS Paris, France"It is no exaggeration to describe Petrucci’s study as an impressive and revolutionary portrayal of Taurus, embedded in an exciting account of the battle for Middle Platonic doctrine."- Christina Hoenig, University of Pittsburgh, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
