Appeasement in International Politics $8.48 A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2002 Since the 1930s, appeasement has been labeled as a futile and possibly dangerous policy. In this landmark study, Stephen Rock seeks to restore appeasement to its proper place as a legitimate–and potentially successful–diplomatic strategy. Appeasement was discredited by Neville Chamberlain’s disastrous attempt to satisfy Adolf Hitler’s territorial ambitions and avoid war in 1938. Rock argues, however, that there is very little evidence to support the belief that dissatisfied states and their leaders cannot be appeased or that appeasement undermines a state’s credibility in later attempts at deterrence. Rock looks at five case studies from the past 100 years, revealing under what conditions appeasement can achieve its goals. From British appeasement of the United States near the beginning of the twentieth century to American conciliation of North Korea in the early 1990s, Rock concludes that appeasement succeeds or fails depending on the nature of the adversary, the nature of the inducements used on the antagonist, and the existence of other incentives for the adversary to acquiesce. Appeasement in International Politics suggests the type of appeasement strategy most appropriate for various situations. The options range from pure inducements, reciprocity, to a mixture of inducements and threats. In addition to this theoretical framework, Rock’s explicit comparison of appeasement and deterrence offers important guidelines for policymakers on when and how to implement a strategy of appeasement. At a time when the strategy of engagement plays an increasingly central–and controversial–role in U.S. foreign policy, Appeasement in International Politics reestablishes the long-discredited use of inducements as an effective means of preventing conflict. |

Approximate dynamic programming for complex storage problems. $49.99 Managing an asset in the presence of exogenous information that evolves over time can be a challenging task, especially if the information is a multi-dimensional stochastic process. Nevertheless, several of these problems have structural properties that can and should be exploited when developing a strategy to solve them. We focus on a class of such problems, namely complex storage problems, for which the optimal value function is a family of piecewise linear concave functions.;We propose an approximate dynamic programming algorithm to handle these problems. The idea is to construct, iteratively, piecewise linear and concave value function approximations. The algorithm is a combination of Monte-Carlo simulation and stochastic approximation. It employs a pure exploitation scheme, where the states we visit depend on the decisions produced by solving the approximate problem. A projection operation guarantees that the approximations are concave over the iterations.;We prove that our algorithm converges to an optimal policy, learning the optimal value functions for important regions of the state space, which is determined by the algorithm itself. It is a rare proof of convergence for a multistage setting where not all states have to be visited infinitely often by the algorithm. The proof relies on the problem class structural property.;We proceed to study a practical application that fits into our framework: the mutual fund cash holding problem. We show that our solution closely matches the optimal one (in considerably less time), and outperform two static models. It is a simple policy that describes when money should be moved into and out of cash based on market performance.;Next, we consider a subclass of storage problems called lagged acquisition, where assets are purchased over time to satisfy a random demand in the future. We provide an specialized proof and compare the rate of convergence of our algorithm to other approximation methods. Finally, we take on jet |

Capillarity and Wetting Phenomena: Drops, Bubbles, Pearls, Waves $89.95 The study of capillarity is in the midst of a veritable explosion. Hence the temptation to write a new book, aiming at an audience of students. What is offered here is not a comprehensive review of the latest research but rather a compendium of principles.How does one turn a hydrophilic surface into one that is hydrophobic, and vice versa? We will describe a few solutions. Some rely on chemical treatments, such as coating a surface with a molecular layer. Others are based on physics, for instance by controlling the roughness of a surface. We will also examine the dynamics of wetting. Drops that spread spontaneously do so at a rate that slows down with time. They can be tricked into covering large areas by spreading them suddenly. We will describe a few of the many facets of their dynamical properties.Special additives are required for water to foam. Foams are desirable in a shampoo but can be a nightmare in a dishwasher detergent. Antifoam agents have been developed and are well known, but how do they work? It is also possible to generate bubbles and foams without special additives, for example in pure and viscous liquids such as glycerin, molten glass, and polymers. As we will see, the laws of draining and bursting then turn out to be quite different from the conventional ones.This book will enable the reader to understand in simple terms such questions that affect every day life — questions that also come up during in industry. The aim is to view systems that often prove quite complex in a way that isolates a particular physical phenomenon, often avoiding descriptions requiring advanced numerical techniques will oftentimes in favor of qualitative arguments. This strategy may at times jeopardize scientific rigor, but it makes it possible to grasp things efficiently and to invent novel situations. |

Chicken Soup for the Sports Fan’s Soul: Stories of Insight, Inspiration and Laughter in the World of Sports $14.95 For pure exhilaration and drama, there’s nothing quite like sports: It’s the crack of the bat as it connects with the baseball, hurtling it into the bleachers for a home run; the swish of the basketball as it drops into the net for a three-point play at the buzzer; the roar of the crowd as the quarterback delivers a perfect spiral pass for the winning touchdown. Most importantly, sports bring out the best in the human spirit. There is an intensity and a richness inherent in every sporting experience that amplifies our emotions and our connection with the moment and, indeed, with ourselves.This latest collection of Chicken Soup honors all that is good in the world of sports. From major leaguers to little leaguers, from hockey stars to figure skaters, and from horseracing to mushing, the stories in this book highlight the positive and transformative nature of sports. Readers will come to see sports as one of our most important and powerful teachers. They can teach us to focus and stay the course, or to develop a new strategy and rededicate ourselves to a goal. They can teach us to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. They can teach us the importance of teamwork and remind us that we must strive to give our individual all. At their best, sports will build us up and they will wear us down; they will build character and teach us to overcome adversity.This book is for anyone who has ever enjoyed watching or participating in any sport, from the professional athlete to the weekend warrior, from the soccer mom to the diehard sports fan, from the marathon runner to the neighborhood jogger. |
