  Inspired by Madison’s observation, Mark Lloyd has crafted a complex and powerful assessment of the relationship between communications and democracy in the United States. In Prologue to a Farce, he argues that citizens’ political capabilities depend on broad public access to media technologies, but that the U.S. communications environment has become unfairly dominated by corporate interests.    Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, Lloyd demonstrates that despite the persistent hope that a new technology (from the telegraph to the Internet) will rise to serve the needs of the re

Pure and applied mathematicians, physicists, scientists, and engineers use matrices and operators and their eigenvalues in quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis, acoustics, ecology, numerical analysis, and many other areas. However, in some applications the usual analysis based on eigenvalues fails. For example, eigenvalues are often ineffective for analyzing dynamical systems such as fluid flow, Markov chains, ecological models, and matrix iterations. That’s where this book comes in.This is the authoritative work on nonnormal matrices and operators, written by the auth

Written as an accessible study of the "quality of life", this book explores the varied usages and contexts of this term. The authors stress the values-based approach to quality of life, taking the view that quality of life assessments, whether by individuals or institutions, share a common set of values, and assert that quality rather than quantity is the key to providing the most opportunities. Presenting a framework for research tools, the text takes a holistic view of quality of life, seeing the latter as an amalgam of quality of services, care and planning, as opposed to a neatly-divided s
