Brownian motion is an important topic in various applied fields where the analysis of random events is necessary. Introducing Brownian motion from a statistical viewpoint, this detailed text examines the distribution of quadratic functionals of Brownian motion and demonstrates the utility of this approach for time series analysis. It also offers the first comprehensive guide on deriving the Fredholm determinant and the resolvent associated with such statistics. Presuming only a familiarity with standard statistical theory and the basics of stochastic processes, this book brings together a set of important statistical tools in one accessible resource for researchers and graduate students. Readers also benefit from online appendices, which provide probability density graphs and solutions to the chapter problems.

This volume appeals to a wide range of readers, from students to practitioners, looking for the current state of research on elephant behavior and conservation. It weaves together data from numerous studies and includes a wealth of photographs to argue for critical and newly emerging issues in species conservation.

Decolonizes Roman provincial archaeologies and histories by showing how empire reshaped rites related to child sacrifice in Roman Africa.

This book explores the fractionalization of particles, a topic of fundamental importance in many-body physics. Using an example-driven approach, with full derivations given wherever possible, it will be of value to graduate students and researchers in physics. Numerous exercises allow readers to reinforce understanding of key topics.

This book examines Argentina's Black resistance movement and how activists grapple with a history of erasure and denial of an Argentinian Black past and present. An important resource for students and scholars interested in Afro-Latin America, social movements, and gender studies.

This book provides a unified way of calculating a variety of orbital effects due to general relativity and modified models of gravity, to first and second post-Newtonian orders. It gives explicit results valid for arbitrary orbital and spin configurations, without a-priori simplifying assumptions on the orbital eccentricity and inclination.

This book offers an original and innovative approach to the understanding of the special regimes in international law. It argues that special regimes be conceived as communities of practice, explaining how this approach thoroughly demonstrates why specialists in different fields of international law do similar things differently.

Simon Goldhill recounts the untold history of Cambridge's gay academic community and the remarkable impact that it had on politics, art and culture. His affectionate portrait, brimful with unforgettable story and anecdote, reveals a separate world - yet one at the heart of the establishment with an influence still felt today.

Using case studies from the colonial through to the antebellum era, this book examines the lives and experiences of enslaved women who used lethal force as the ultimate form of resistance. Original and compelling, this book is for general readers interested in US history and social justice.

The Ready, Steady, Grow! Big Books are a wonderful way for the teacher to further develop a sense of class community through a shared reading experience. The nine unit stories from the Pupil's Books are reproduced in large format with full-colour illustrations and come with teaching tips and a suggested teaching script. They are an excellent way for very young learners to start developing a love of reading books.

The Ready, Steady, Grow! Activity Book provides further practice and consolidation of the Pupil's Book vocabulary, language, and skills. It includes more personalisation activities and a range of activities to develop fine motor-skills, as well as a fun craft activity in every unit. For each lesson of the Pupil's Book, the Activity Book features a corresponding page of activities, so teachers always know which Activity Book page to use. The Activity Book is full-colour and has a spiral binding to make it easy for children to use.
