Gravity
  • An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity
  • James B. Hartle
  • Published online:
    03 September 2021

  • Einstein's theory of general relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics. It also touches upon a wealth of topics that students find fascinating – black holes, warped spacetime, gravitational waves, and cosmology. Now reissued by Cambridge University Press, this ground-breaking text helped to bring general relativity into the undergraduate curriculum, making it accessible to virtually all physics majors. One of the pioneers of the 'physics-first' approach to the subject, renowned relativist James B. Hartle, recognized that there is typically not enough time in a short introductory course for the traditional, mathematics-first, approach. In this text, he provides a fluent and accessible physics-first introduction to general relativity that begins with the essential physical applications and uses a minimum of new mathematics. This market-leading text is ideal for a one-semester course for undergraduates, with only introductory mechanics as a prerequisite.

Game Theory
  • 2nd edition
  • Michael Maschler, Eilon Solan, Shmuel Zamir
  • Published online:
    03 September 2021
    Print publication:
    25 June 2020
  • Now in its second edition, this popular textbook on game theory is unrivalled in the breadth of its coverage, the thoroughness of technical explanations and the number of worked examples included. Covering non-cooperative and cooperative games, this introduction to game theory includes advanced chapters on auctions, games with incomplete information, games with vector payoffs, stable matchings and the bargaining set. This edition contains new material on stochastic games, rationalizability, and the continuity of the set of equilibrium points with respect to the data of the game. The material is presented clearly and every concept is illustrated with concrete examples from a range of disciplines. With numerous exercises, and the addition of a solution manual for instructors with this edition, the book is an extensive guide to game theory for undergraduate through graduate courses in economics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and life sciences, and will also serve as useful reference for researchers.

International Business Strategy
  • Rethinking the Foundations of Global Corporate Success
  • 3rd edition
  • Alain Verbeke, I. H. Ian Lee
  • Published online:
    02 September 2021
    Print publication:
    23 September 2021
  • Now in its third edition, this core textbook for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students combines analytical rigour and managerial insight on the functioning and strategy of large multinational enterprises (MNEs). Verbeke and Lee develop an original conceptual model that supports student learning by providing an integrated perspective, rooted in theory and practice. The discussion also includes unique commentaries on seventy-four seminal articles published in the Harvard Business Review, the Sloan Management Review, and the California Management Review over the past four decades, demonstrating how the key insights can be applied to real businesses engaged in international expansion programmes, especially as they venture into high-distance markets. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and features new sections on multinational entrepreneurship, strategic challenges in the new economy, and international business strategy during globally disruptive events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will benefit from updated case studies, improved learning features, and a wide range of online resources.

International Business
  • 9th edition
  • Michael R. Czinkota, Ilkka A. Ronkainen, Suraksha Gupta
  • Published online:

  • Thoroughly updated, the 9th edition of this bestselling textbook incorporates global trends and data, supported by an exemplary case selection based on firms from around the world. The internationally cited author team of Czinkota, Ronkainen, and Gupta balance conceptual understanding of business theory with the day-to-day realities of business practice, preparing students to become successful participants in the global business place. This edition brings greater focus on Asia and emerging markets, as well as Brexit, the impact of COVID-19 on business and the importance of technology and the digital space to international business practice. Through its discussion and analysis, the book guides students to a greater understanding of contemporary business issues and helps them to develop new tools of analysis. Covering all key aspects of international business, the authors emphasize a few key dimensions: international context, role of government in international business, small- and medium-sized firms, and social responsibility.

  • 4 - A Simple Climate Model

  • Andrew E. Dessler, Texas A & M University
  • Book:
    Introduction to Modern Climate Change
    Published online:
    19 August 2021
    Print publication:
    26 August 2021, pp 53-68

  • Summary

    Scientists have been studying the Earth’s climate for nearly 200 years and, over that time, a sophisticated and well-validated theory of our climate has emerged. In this chapter, we take the fundamental physics we learned in the last chapter and use it to explain how greenhouse gases warm the planet and why the temperature of the Earth is what it is. By the end of the chapter, you will understand why scientists have such high confidence that adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere will warm the planet.

  • 7 - Why Is the Climate Changing?

  • Andrew E. Dessler, Texas A & M University
  • Book:
    Introduction to Modern Climate Change
    Published online:
    19 August 2021
    Print publication:
    26 August 2021, pp 112-128

  • Summary

    In Chapter 2, we detailed the overwhelming evidence that the Earth’s climate is changing – evidence so overwhelming that the IPCC describes the warming as “unequivocal.” At this point, the most heated argument is over the cause of the warming: Is it caused by human activity, or is it natural? In this chapter, we address this question.

  • Chapter 5 - Lexeme Formation: Further Afield

  • Rochelle Lieber, University of New Hampshire
  • Book:
    Introducing Morphology
    Published online:
    18 October 2021
    Print publication:
    26 August 2021, pp 87-104

  • Summary

    This chapter considers types of word formation that are not found in English and languages that might be more familiar to students. We look at infixation, circumfixation and parasynthesis, internal stem change (ablaut and consonant mutation), reduplication (full and partial), templatic (root and pattern) morphology, and subtractive processes. Students are introduced to techniques for analyzing morphological data in languages that may be unfamiliar to them.

  • Chapter 2 - Words, Dictionaries, and the Mental Lexicon

  • Rochelle Lieber, University of New Hampshire
  • Book:
    Introducing Morphology
    Published online:
    18 October 2021
    Print publication:
    26 August 2021, pp 11-34

  • Summary

    In this chapter we consider more closely what we mean by a word. We begin by contrasting the differences between the mental lexicon and dictionaries. We then introduce students to the methods and techniques that psycholinguists use for studying the mental lexicon. We look at reaction time experiments, brain imaging, and the ways in which we can study individuals with aphasia and genetic disorders that affect lexical knowledge. Students are introduced to how children acquire morphology. We then look at English past tense morphology in the context of the ‘storage versus rules’ debate, considering what experimentation, brain imaging, and the study of aphasia and genetic disorders tell us about this controversy. The chapter ends with a brief history of dictionaries.
