The book has a dual purpose. The first is to expose a general methodology to solve problems of electromagnetism in geometries constituted of angular regions. The second is to bring the solutions of some canonical problems of fundamental importance in modern electromagnetic engineering with the use of the Wiener-Hopf technique. In particular, the general mathematical methodology is very ingenious and original. It is based on sophisticated and attractive procedures exploiting simple and advanced...

É o progresso que garante a existência. Sem a engenharia a espécie humana já estaria extinta. O escritor americano James Albert Michener escreveu: “Os cientistas sonham para fazer grandes coisas. Os engenheiros as realizam”. Entre matemática, física, química, técnica e tecnologia, a partir de Arquimedes de Siracusa à Samantha Cristoforetti, de Leonardo da Vinci à Larry Page uma história extraordinária de inovação e conquistas. Nada de quão construido hoje pelo homem em toda a parte do mundo e...

Wszyscy wokół albo oszuści, albo komedianci, albo ludzie bezdennie słabi. Ja miotam się bezsilnie, bo oczywiście „babie” nie pozwoli przecież nikt z tych mężów stanu polityki prowadzić, a tymczasem wierzcie mi, że my byśmy tę politykę o całe niebo dalej i lepiej prowadziły niż oni! – pisała w 1916 r. do męża Zofia Moraczewska. 100 lat temu Polki wywalczyły sobie prawa wyborcze. Do Sejmu Ustawodawczego, który miał na nowo określić sposób funkcjonowania państwa polskiego po odzyskaniu...

In response to the riots of the mid-‘60s, Walter Thabit was hired to work with the community of East New York to develop a plan for low- and moderate-income public housing. In the years that followed, he experienced first-hand the forces that had engineered East New York’s dramatic decline and that continued to work against its successful revitalization. How East New York Became a Ghetto describes the shift of East New York from a working-class immigrant neighborhood to a...

In recent years John Bellamy Foster has emerged as a leading theorist of the Marxist perspective on ecology. His seminal book Marx's Ecology (Monthly Review Press, 2000) discusses the place of ecological issues within the intellectual history of Marxism and on the philosophical foundations of a Marxist ecology, and has become a major point of reference in ecological debates. This historical and philosophical focus is now supplemented by more directly political engagement in his new book,...

An in-depth look at the urban environments of Houston and Copenhagen [b][/b]How are modern cities changing, and what implications do those changes have for city inhabitants? What kinds of cities do people want to live in, and what cities do people want to create in the future? Michael Oluf Emerson and Kevin T. Smiley argue that western cities have diverged into two specific and different types: market cities and people cities. Market cities are focused on wealth, jobs, individualism, and...

Boring DJs who never shut up, and who don't even pick their own records. The same hits, over and over. A constant stream of annoying commercials. How did radio get so dull? Not by accident, contends journalist and historian Jesse Walker. For decades, government and big business have colluded to monopolize the airwaves, stamping out competition, reducing variety, and silencing dissident voices. And yet, in the face of such pressure, an alternative radio tradition has tenaciously survived....

Like a sequel to the prescient warnings of urbanist Jane Jacobs, Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove reveals the disturbing effects of decades of insensitive urban renewal projects on communities of color. For those whose homes and neighborhoods were bulldozed, the urban modernization projects that swept America starting in 1949 were nothing short of an assault. Vibrant city blocks?places rich in culture?were torn apart by freeways and other invasive development, devastating the lives of poor...

Can American cities respond effectively to pressing social problems? Or, as many scholars have claimed, are urban politics so mired in stasis, gridlock and bureaucratic paralysis that dramatic policy change is impossible? Homelessness in New York City tells the remarkable story of how America’s largest city has struggled for more than thirty years to meet the crisis of modern homelessness through the landmark development, since the initiation of the Callahan v Carey litigation in 1979, of a...
