A Dictionary of Scientific Quotations is a personal selection of scientific quotations by Professor Alan L Mackay that includes graffiti, lines of song, proverbs, and poetry. Whether you believe that "All problems are finally scientific problems" (George Bernard Shaw) or that "Imagination is more important than knowledge" (Einstein), it is without doubt that "It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations" (Churchill).

1ª edición.

This collection includes some of the most significant papers in Hamiltonian dynamics published during the last 60 years. The book covers bifurcation of periodic orbits, the break-up of invariant tori, chaotic behavior in hyperbolic systems, and the intricacies of real systems that contain coexisting order and chaos. It begins with an introductory survey of the subjects to help readers appreciate the underlying themes that unite an apparently diverse collection of articles. The book concludes with a selection of papers on applications, including in celestial mechanics, plasma physics, chemistry, accelerator physics, fluid mechanics, and solid state mechanics, and contains an extensive bibliography.

COLECCIÓN BIBLIOTECA DE PSICOLOGÍA

Aunque Japón es actualmente la segunda potencia económica del mundo capitalista, las fuentes de información sobre este país resultan sumamente inaccesibles en Occidente. Los autores de este libro -el primero de su clase que aparece en Occidente- se han propuesto remediar esta carencia de datos y han elaborado un cuadro ajustado del desarrollo del imperialismo japonés en las últimas décadas. La información básica tanto económica como política que ponen al alcance del lector es inmensa.
El nuevo imperialismo japonés está basado en gran parte en las relaciones del Japón con el Asia sudoriental: el análisis de estas relaciones ocupa necesariamente una considerable parte en este trabajo. Pero este material está inserto en el contexto de las relaciones del Japón con los Estados Unidos y complementado con la necesaria información sobre las relaciones del Japón con China, la URSS y Australia. Dentro del propio Japón reciben minuciosa atención la estructura de su capitalismo, la reestructuración de la agricultura, el trabajo, la educación.
No es aventurada la afirmación de que con este libro, traducido a nueve lenguas desde su publicación en 1973, se abre una nueva página hacia el estudio del capitalismo e imperialismos modernos.
