During the last ten years there has been a fascination with discovering nonlinear difference equations of order greater than one. Periodicities in Nonlinear Difference Equations presents in detail the rich periodic character of these equations and brings to the attention of the mathematical community some thought provoking questions, open problems and conjectures worthy of investigation. It also investigates the global character of solutions of these equations for other values of their parameters and attempts to see a more complete picture of the global behavior of their solutions. A comprehensive monograph on the subject, this book can also be used as a supplement for a course on difference equations.

The book documents the scientific facts regarding climate change and a brief overview of the key developments in the climate change regime, discussing Kyoto Protocol and beyond. The North-South politics regarding energy markets and the emissions there from, are also discussed in the book. After establishing the scientific base, presenting agreements and policies for climate change in general, and the Kyoto Protocol in particular, the Instruments and Institutions for Kyoto Protocol are reviewed. The rapid and large climate changes can be expected to have far-reaching and, in many instances, unpredictable consequences not only for only for human societies, but also for all forms of life on Earth. For example, a rise global sea level, can threaten coastal cities and settlements throughout the world. The book discusses the impact of climate change and the associated environmental and socio-economic impacts in different parts of the world. The book discussed science and philosophy behind Climate Change and the Kyo

Offender profiling is one of the most important investigative tools in today's world. Nonetheless, it often represents a less than educated attempt to provide law enforcement agencies with detailed information about the behavior of an unknown individual who has committed a crime. This book introduces alternative approaches to improving the way crimes are investigated and offender profiles are generated. It shows forensic evidence experts how to work with profilers to combine discrete data into a more meaningful picture. Written in a format that is simple and straightforward, it utilizes actual case studies to show how specific procedures relate to police investigations.
