As neuroimaging turns toward data-intensive discovery, researchers in the field must learn to access, manage, and analyze datasets at unprecedented scales.
Concerns about reproducibility and increased rigor in reporting of scientific results also demand higher standards of computational practice.
This book offers neuroimaging researchers an introduction to data science, presenting methods, tools, and approaches that facilitate automated, reproducible, and scalable analysis and understanding of data.
This book presents a global history of the biological sciences from ancient times to today, providing needed perspective on the development of biological thought while shedding light on the field’s upheavals and key breakthroughs through the ages.
Michel Morange brings to life the dynamic interplay of science, society, and biology’s many sub-disciplines, enabling readers to better appreciate the interdisciplinary exchanges that have shaped the field over the centuries.

Renormalization group ideas have had a major impact on condensed matter physics for more than a half century.
This book develops the theory and illustrates the broad applicability of the renormalization group to major problems in condensed matter physics.
Based on course materials developed and class-tested by the authors at Harvard University, the book will be especially useful for students, as well as researchers.

This pioneering work revises our notions of the origins and early development of textiles in Europe and the Near East.
Using innovative linguistic techniques, along with methods from paleobiology and other fields, it shows that spinning and pattern weaving began far earlier than has been supposed.
“Prehistoric Textiles” made an unsurpassed leap in the social and cultural understanding of textiles in humankind’s early history.

Mount Fuji is everywhere recognized as a wonder of nature and enduring symbol of Japan. Yet behind the picture-postcard image is a history filled with conflict and upheaval. Violent eruptions across the centuries wrought havoc and instilled fear.
It has been both a totem of national unity and a flashpoint for economic and political disputes.
And while its soaring majesty has inspired countless works of literature and art, the foot of the mountain is home to military training grounds and polluting industries.
