America Calling: A Social History of the Telephone to 1940

A warning to those who see technology as having clear and far-reaching consequences in American life: Don't use the telephone as an obvious example. From a user-centered view of technological dispersion, the author argues convincingly that the telephone reinforced social and cultural patterns rather than changed them. Most wealthy and middle-class Americans (and many farmers) adopted the new technology to their own ends prior to World War II--ends not necessarily anticipated or welcomed by industry leaders or technology forecasters. Well researched, with an excellent bibliography and fascinating endnotes, Fischer's study is likely to be a required purchase for comprehensive collections in sociology, business, and the history of technology. It is accessible, however, to a wider audience because of its readability.

Brain Mapping: The Methods, Second Edition (Toga, Brain Mapping) by Arthur W. Toga

"This timely and authoritative textbook brings together a wide variety of both basic and clinical brain mapping methods. Drs. Toga and Mazziotta are recognized experts in the field and have accomplished this difficult task admirably. The finished work reflects the considerable basic science and clinical talents of the multiple contributing authors... this multiauthored book is very well written and beautifully illustrated. Generous use of color figures and excellent line diagrams complement the text. The table of contents is listed in outline form, providing a handy navigational aid... Brain Mapping: The Methods is a timely and important source book for learning more about the tools used to relate brain structure and function. This new reference work will rightfully find its place in the libraries of both research scientists and clinicians in the neurosciences."

Managing Linux Systems with Webmin: System Administration and Module Development

Written by the creator of Webmin, this book explains how to use the most popular Webmin modules to perform common administration tasks on a Linux system such as adding users, configuring Apache, setting up NFS file sharing and managing the Sendmail mail server.Each chapter covers a single server or service, and is broken down into sections that list the steps required to carry out certain tasks using Webmin. The chapters also provide some background on the service being configured and the basic concepts behind it.Cameron also explains how to develop your own Webmin modules and themes, and includes a complete reference for the API that is available to module writers.

The Geometry of Ordinary Variational Equations

The book provides a comprehensive theory of ODE which come as Euler-Lagrange equations from generally higher-order Lagrangians. Emphasis is laid on applying methods from differential geometry (fibered manifolds and their jet-prolongations) and global analysis (distributions and exterior differential systems). Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, Hamilton-Jacobi theory, etc., for any Lagrangian system of any order are presented. The key idea - to build up these theories as related with the class of equivalent Lagrangians - distinguishes this book from other texts on higher-order mechanics. The reader should be familiar with elements of differential geometry, global analysis and the calculus of variations.
