Advanced Functional Evolution Equations and Inclusions (repost)




Saïd Abbas, Mouffak Benchohra, "Advanced Functional Evolution Equations and Inclusions"


2015 | ISBN-10: 3319177672 | 408 pages | PDF | 3 MB




​This book presents up-to-date results on abstract evolution equations and differential inclusions in infinite dimensional spaces. It covers equations with time delay and with impulses, and complements the existing literature in functional differential equations and inclusions. The exposition is devoted to both local and global mild solutions for some classes of functional differential evolution equations and inclusions, and other densely and non-densely defined functional differential equations and inclusions in separable Banach spaces or in Fréchet spaces. The tools used include classical fixed points theorems and the measure-of non-compactness, and each chapter concludes with a section devoted to notes and bibliographical remarks.




This monograph is particularly useful for researchers and graduate students studying pure and applied mathematics, engineering, biology and all other applied sciences.

A Biologist"s Guide to Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Evolution (repost)




Sarah P. Otto, Troy Day, "A Biologist"s Guide to Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Evolution"


2007 | ISBN: 0691123446 | EPUB | 744 pages | 13 MB




Thirty years ago, biologists could get by with a rudimentary grasp of mathematics and modeling. Not so today. In seeking to answer fundamental questions about how biological systems function and change over time, the modern biologist is as likely to rely on sophisticated mathematical and computer-based models as traditional fieldwork. In this book, Sarah Otto and Troy Day provide biology students with the tools necessary to both interpret models and to build their own.




The book starts at an elementary level of mathematical modeling, assuming that the reader has had high school mathematics and first-year calculus. Otto and Day then gradually build in depth and complexity, from classic models in ecology and evolution to more intricate class-structured and probabilistic models. The authors provide primers with instructive exercises to introduce readers to the more advanced subjects of linear algebra and probability theory. Through examples, they describe how models have been used to understand such topics as the spread of HIV, chaos, the age structure of a country, speciation, and extinction.




Ecologists and evolutionary biologists today need enough mathematical training to be able to assess the power and limits of biological models and to develop theories and models themselves. This innovative book will be an indispensable guide to the world of mathematical models for the next generation of biologists.

Living in the Borderland: The Evolution of Consciousness and the Challenge of Healing Trauma by Jerome S. Bernstein




Living in the Borderland: The Evolution of Consciousness and the Challenge of Healing Trauma by Jerome S. Bernstein


English | 23 Jun. 2005 | ISBN: 158391756X, 1583917578 | 282 Pages | PDF | 1 MB




Living in the Borderland addresses the evolution of Western consciousness and describes the emergence of the ‘Borderland," a spectrum of reality that is beyond the rational yet is palpable to an increasing number of individuals. Building on Jungian theory, Jerome Bernstein argues that a greater openness to transrational reality experienced by Borderland personalities allows new possibilities for understanding and healing confounding clinical and developmental enigmas.

The Evolution Of Desire




David M. Buss, "The Evolution Of Desire, 4th Edition"


ISBN: 046500802X | 2008 | EPUB | 368 pages | 571 KB


With two new chapters by the author.If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question, says noted psychologist David Buss, we must look into our evolutionary past. Based on the most massive study of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than ten thousand people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first book to present a unified theory of human mating behavior. Now in a revised and updated edition, Buss"s classic presents the latest research in the field, including startling new discoveries about the evolutionary advantages of infidelity, orgasm, and physical attractiveness.

The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature [Audiobook]




The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature [Audiobook] by Matt Ridley


English | January 18, 2011 | ASIN: B004JLZBIW | MP3@40 kbps | 12 hrs 56 mins | 227 MB

Narrator: Simon Prebble | Genre: Nonfiction/Science/Biology




Referring to Lewis Carroll"s Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass, a character who has to keep running to stay in the same place, Matt Ridley demonstrates why sex is humanity"s best strategy for outwitting its constantly mutating internal predators. The Red Queen answers dozens of other riddles of human nature and culture – including why men propose marriage, the method behind our maddening notions of beauty, and the disquieting fact that a woman is more likely to conceive a child by an adulterous lover than by her husband.




Brilliantly written, The Red Queen offers an extraordinary new way of interpreting the human condition and how it has evolved.
