Each article has been carefully chosen to enable any student of political philosophy to grasp the main debates within the topic. Clearly divided into two parts, Part One deals with fundamental philosophical issues: the nature of social explanation; distributive justice and liberalism and communitarianism. Part Two contains seminal papers in more specific areas: citizenship and multiculturalism; nationalism; de

Hidden opportunities to improve profits in the healthcare industry abound in the area of discharge planning. Based on 25 years of experience, Birjandi and Bragg show hospital administrators and directors how they can tap into new revenue using the Six Sigma DMAIC model (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control). The book’s step-by-step implementation strategy highlights five concepts: redefining the whole idea of discharge planning, focusing on the right metrics, augmenting re-design with lean concepts, applying a practical approach to improvement, and creating a results-oriented cultu

Hydrodynamic lubrication plays an important role in mechanical engineering, although not very many books have been published on the subject. This book was written with graduate students, researchers and designers in view. The first four chapters are preparations for the following five chapters, where several most important subjects in hydrodynamic lubrication are discussed in detail, based on the author’s own researches. Examples are oil whip (stability of rotating shafts), foil bearings in connection with magnetic tape storages, squeeze film between rigid surfaces and visco-elastic surface

In "Voice Over", a celebration and history, William Barlow explores the entire landscape of black radio from the early days--when the white public accepted the black-face buffoonery of "The Amos and Andy Show" and "Beluh" as a fair depiction of African-American life--to the rise of personality jocks and the contemporary scene of corporate buyouts.

This is a major revision of the author’s successful book Mathematics of Computer Graphics. It still focuses on foundations and proofs, but now exhibits a shift towards digital image compression, restoration, and recognition. Topology is replaced by Probability and Information Theory (with Shannon’s source and channel encoding Theorems) which are used throughout. Several fractal methods are given in the service of Compression, along with linear transforms (hence FFT, DCT, JPEG, wavelets etc), recent neural methods, and the ubiquitous vector quantisation. Optimising for the Human Vi
