Freedom and Evolution : Hierarchy in Nature, Society and Science
The book begins with familiar designs found all around and inside us (such as the ‘trees’ of river basins, human lungs, blood and city traffic).It then shows how all flow systems are driven by power from natural engines everywhere, and how they are endlessly shaped because of freedom.Finally, Professor Bejan explains how people, like everything else that moves on earth, are driven by power derived from our “engines” that consume fuel and food, and that our movement dissipates the power completely and changes constantly for greater access, economies of scale, efficiency, innovation and life.Written for wide audiences of all ages, including readers interested in science, patterns in nature, similarity and non-uniformity, history and the future, and those just interested in having fun with ideas, the book shows how many “design change” concepts acquire a solid scientific footing and how they exist with the evolution of nature, society, technology and science.

Hierarchy in the Forest : The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior
Are humans by nature hierarchical or egalitarian? Hierarchy in the Forest addresses this question by examining the evolutionary origins of social and political behavior.Christopher Boehm, an anthropologist whose fieldwork has focused on the political arrangements of human and nonhuman primate groups, postulates that egalitarianism is in effect a hierarchy in which the weak combine forces to dominate the strong. The political flexibility of our species is formidable: we can be quite egalitarian, we can be quite despotic.Hierarchy in the Forest traces the roots of these contradictory traits in chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, and early human societies.Boehm looks at the loose group structures of hunter-gatherers, then at tribal segmentation, and finally at present-day governments to see how these conflicting tendencies are reflected. Hierarchy in the Forest claims new territory for biological anthropology and evolutionary biology by extending the domain of these sciences into a crucial aspect of human political and social behavior.This book will be a key document in the study of the evolutionary basis of genuine altruism.

Forms : Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network
Forms offers a powerful new answer to one of the most pressing problems facing literary, critical, and cultural studies today--how to connect form to political, social, and historical context.Caroline Levine argues that forms organize not only works of art but also political life--and our attempts to know both art and politics.Inescapable and frequently troubling, forms shape every aspect of our experience.Yet, forms don't impose their order in any simple way.Multiple shapes, patterns, and arrangements, overlapping and colliding, generate complex and unpredictable social landscapes that challenge and unsettle conventional analytic models in literary and cultural studies. Borrowing the concept of "affordances" from design theory, this book investigates the specific ways that four major forms--wholes, rhythms, hierarchies, and networks--have structured culture, politics, and scholarly knowledge across periods, and it proposes exciting new ways of linking formalism to historicism and literature to politics. Levine rereads both formalist and antiformalist theorists, including Cleanth Brooks, Michel Foucault, Jacques Ranciere, Mary Poovey, and Judith Butler, and she offers engaging accounts of a wide range of objects, from medieval convents and modern theme parks to Sophocles's Antigone and the television series The Wire.The result is a radically new way of thinking about form for the next generation and essential reading for scholars and students across the humanities who must wrestle with the problem of form and context.

Understanding the Analytic Hierarchy Process
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a critical guide to AHP.In this book, the AHP method is considered primarily as a mathematical technique supporting the decision-making process.This method provides a convenient and versatile framework for modelling multi-criteria decision problems, evaluating alternatives and deriving final priorities.Rather than imposing a correct decision, AHP allows the user to create a ranking of alternatives, then choose the one which is the best (or among the best).At the core of AHP is a pairwise comparisons (PC) method.This is an old technique known in various forms since at least the Middle Ages.

Discovering Biblical Equality : Complementarity Without Hierarchy
Among Christians, discussions continue about the roles of men and women in the home, the church and society at large.Although some of these debates generate more heat than light, the issue directly affects every member of the Christian community.Our view of the Bible's teaching on these matters shapes the life and ministry of our churches in significant ways.Further reflection and dialogue are required. In this volume twenty-three evangelical scholars, firmly committed to the authority of Scripture, explore the whole range of issues relating to gender relations.They offer historical, biblical, theological, hermeneutical and practical perspectives to dispel many of the myths surrounding biblical equality, and to promote discussion.Their sound, reasoned case affirms the complementarity of the sexes without requiring a hierarchy of roles.

The Structure of Groups with a Quasiconvex Hierarchy
This monograph on the applications of cube complexes constitutes a breakthrough in the fields of geometric group theory and 3-manifold topology.Many fundamental new ideas and methodologies are presented here for the first time, including a cubical small-cancellation theory that generalizes ideas from the 1960s, a version of Dehn Filling that functions in the category of special cube complexes, and a variety of results about right-angled Artin groups.The book culminates by establishing a remarkable theorem about the nature of hyperbolic groups that are constructible as amalgams. The applications described here include the virtual fibering of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds and the resolution of Baumslag's conjecture on the residual finiteness of one-relator groups with torsion.Most importantly, this work establishes a cubical program for resolving Thurston's conjectures on hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and validates this program in significant cases.Illustrated with more than 150 color figures, this book will interest graduate students and researchers working in geometry, algebra, and topology.
