Book Description
An informative resource written to help prevent the occurrence of accidents and property loss and to help counteract excessive legal claims. Expanded new edition includes updated charts and trends, over 30 new case studies, and teaching scenarios with questions for class discussion and application. In addition, included are new chapters on Adventure recreation, Sports and disabilities, Waivers, and Risk management and needs assessment.
Book Description
Risk management is one of the hottest topics in sport today, and a relatively new companion to sport law. Risk management has important implications for businesses, the insurance and medical industries, and other areas of sport management where minimizing loss exposure is critical to the avoidance of expensive lawsuits in this unprecedentedly litigious age.
The list of authors is a who's who in risk management in sport. They share their knowledge of their areas of expertise in forty-three chapters, including ten new chapters covering playground safety, fitness center safety, automated external defibrillators, a risk management checklist for sport administrators, an update on Title IX, liability of property owners association and recreation programs, and trends in risk management for physical activity programs. The material in the first edition has been updated where appropriate, and this unique text covers a multitude of risk management issues and strategies to deal with them. Risk Management in Sport is an important addition to the Carolina Academic Press series of sport management and risk management texts. It is an essential book for the sport administrator, and a valuable resource for all associated with sport.

Book Description
Designed to satisfy the interest of law students, lawyers and anyone else desiring a basic introduction to the legal principles that apply to the world of sport. Very few lawyers ever get to represent a professional athlete, and some attention is paid to that area. Most of the focus of this book is on recreational or amateur sports, covering everything from personal injury cases to the rights of amateur athletes. This reflects reality; the vast majority of legal issues related to sports involve participation in amateur athletics.

Book Description
A comprehensive collection of cutting-edge methods to study and work with the vaccinia virus and other poxvirus gene transcriptions. These readily reproducible techniques can be used for the construction and characterization of recombinant viruses; for the study of poxvirus gene transcription and DNA replication; for the investigation of the binding, entry, and movement of the virus in host cells; and for the use of the virus in immunologic and cell-cell fusion assays. Other methods cover poxvirus bioinformatics, aspects of viral pathogenesis at both a protein and an animal model level, and the study of immune responses to poxviruses-the latter a critical ability given the important role of vaccinia virus in smallpox vaccination and their potential role as vaccine vectors directed against infectious agents and cancer.

Book Description
This book is the first of a multivolume series devoted to an exposition of functional analysis methods in modern mathematical physics. It describes the fundamental principles of functional analysis and is essentially self-contained, although there are occasional references to later volumes. We have included a few applications when we thought that they would provide motivation for the reader. Later volumes describe various advanced topics in functional analysis and give numerous applications in classical physics, modern physics, and partial differential equations.
Customer Reviews:
excellent.......2007-10-03
This is the best functional analysis book for beginners, in my opinion. It is written for people that are interested in functional analysis as a tool for differential equations. What makes it different from other books on this subject are the numerous examples and applications to differential equations. Highly recommended.
Great transaction.......2007-02-18
Fast delivery, newer edition than what was advertised but that's perfectly fine with me
The essential spectrum of tools for physical observables........2002-06-04
Books on mathematical methods "for physicists" are often criticized by their superficiality, a sacrifice deemed necessary for achieving completeness. This one is a glaring exception: the first of a set of 4 (!) volumes dealing with the finest tools for dealing with the delicate mathematical questions in quantum theory - namely, functional analysis. Of course, this sounds rather vague, since quantum physics makes use of functional-analytic tools as diverse as distributions, Hilbert, Banach and locally convex spaces, spectral theory, semigroup theory, operator algebras, etc.
However, do not expect ready-brew formulae and cookbook recipes: this book gets his job done at least as well as Rudin, Yosida and Riesz-Sz.Nagy, just to mention the classics. Most theorems are rigorously proved, and although the book becomes more and more biased towards mathematical physics (i.e., methods for proving self-adjointness, analysis of spectra and scattering theory, as stated in the section "Three Mathematical Problems in Quantum Mechanics". These methods occupy most of the three remaining volumes) as it proceeds - this bias becomes the true reason of being for the last two volumes - this particular volume has precisely the most useful stuff: metric, Banach, topological, locally convex, and Hilbert spaces, bounded and unbounded operators. A supplement extracted from the second volume with the basics of Fourier transforms makes it self-contained as a monograph.
However, the best things, that make this book nearly unbeatable, are the several wisely chosen examples and counterexamples, the notes at the end of each chapter and the wonderful - and useful - exercises. Many working mathematicians I know use this book seriously in their research and their courses in Functional Analysis - a fact that cannot be underestimated and will hardly be equaled by any book on mathematical physics.
If you work on (axiomatic) quantum field theory you may also want to keep an eye on the second volume of the set, "Fourier Analysis, Self-adjointness", which is a bit more specialized but just as wonderful.
The best available text on this subject........1999-10-23
This superb book may be the best available text on elementary general topology, functional analysis and spectral theory of bounded normal operators on Hilbert spaces. The exercises are excellent as well. Must reading!
Excellent.......1999-10-07
We used this book in Math 401 at Princeton. This book is great, well-written, well-problemed. It is curious that the other reviewer complains that there is nothing original in this book, because this subject is older than the author, who is an expert in Schrodinger operators. The parts of the next three volumes which I have read have also been great.
Customer Reviews:
Brilliant editing by the highest authority.......2006-10-09
The memoir by Dr. Farmer is the most profound and moving essay I have ever read on Smith - his editing is insightful as well and carefully done.
As one of the very last persons who knew Smith personally, his insights are of enormous value. Smith devotees should be beating down his door to pick his brain while he still lives.
The Sword of Zagan.......2006-02-15
Clark Ashton Smith's Arabian Nights novel, The Black Diamonds, published by Hippocampus Press in 2002, was thought to be the most significant of Smith's juvenile writings. But the revelation that Smith wrote another full-scale novel, The Sword of Zagan, shortly after The Black Diamonds, underscores the prodigious fecundity of Smith's teenage years. This volume contains a sheaf of never-before published material by Smith: The Sword of Zagan, another thrilling Arabian Nights adventure featuring two janissaries who experience numerous close brushes with death and engage in battles with swords and fists in quest of the affections of Fatima, the Sultan's niece; nearly a dozen short stories set in India or the Middle East; and an array of poems and fragments that reveal Smith's youthful immersion into exotic realms of wonder and fantasy. Original illustrations by artist Jason C. Eckhardt capture the action and evoke an Oriental setting.
