A gentle introduction to the geometry of convex sets in n**-dimensional space**Geometry of Convex Sets begins with basic definitions of the concepts of vector addition and scalar multiplication and then defines the notion of convexity for subsets of n-dimensional space. Many properties of convex sets can be discovered using just the linear structure. However, for more interesting results, it is necessary to introduce the ...

Many properties of convex sets can be discovered using just the linear structure. However, for more interesting results, it is necessary to introduce the notion of distance in order to discuss open sets, closed se...

Structural Inequalities and Health Outcomes for Chronic Disease provides a conceptual framework for understanding existing evidence and guides the research around promising interventions and policies. In addition, it demonstrates how structural inequalities impact health and presents ways the healthcare system can participate in the solution. The book covers major chronic diseases and the special populations impacted by structural inequalities. Those working and studying public health, med...

Step into the smoke-filled kitchens of America's frontier past, where survival depended on knowing how to transform wild game into sustaining meals and preserve food through harsh winters. George Leonard Herter and Berthe E. Herter unlock the closely guarded secrets of bull cooks, those legendary camp chefs who fed logging crews, railroad gangs, and pioneer settlements across the untamed American landscape. This remarkable collection resurrects forgotten culinary wisdom that sustained gene...

Few issues in tax policy are as divisive as the capital gains tax. Should capital gains--the increase in value of assets such as stocks or businesses--be taxed at all? If so, when should they be taxed--when they are earned, or when they are realized? Should taxes be adjusted for inflation? And should gains be taxed at both the individual and corporate levels? In this book, Leonard Burman cuts through the political rhetoric to present the facts about capital gains. He begins by explaining t...

This book investigates indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in sub-Saharan Africa, thereby highlighting its role in facilitating adaptation to climate variability and change, and also demystifying the challenges that prevent it from being integrated with scientific knowledge in climate governance schemes. Indigenous people and their priceless knowledge rarely feature when decision-makers prepare for future climate change. This book showcases how Indigenous knowledge facilitates adaptation to...

Caregiving has emerged as a critical issue in the second half of the life cycle. With the growth of the older population, there have been dramatic increases in the number of people needing care and assistance. The responsibility for care typically falls on families at a time when they have limited resources to meet these needs. At a societal level, the need for care for growing numbers of disabled elders poses a major challenge for how to organize supportive services in an efficient and re...
