The Mathematics of Politics It is because mathematics is often misunderstood it is commonlybelieved it has nothing to say about politics. The high schoolexperience with mathematics for so many the lasting impressionof the subject suggests that mathematics is the study of numbers operations formulas and manipulations of symbols. Thosebelieving this is the extent of mathematics might conclude mathematics has no relevance to politics. This book counters this impression. The second edition of this popular book focuses on mathematical reasoningabout politics. In the search for ideal ways to make certain kindsof decisions a lot of wasted effort can be averted if mathematics can determine thatfinding such an ideal is actually impossible in the first place. In the first three parts of this book we address the following threepolitical questions:(1) Is there a good way to choose winners of elections?(2) Is there a good way to apportion congressional seats?(3) Is there a good way to make decisions in situations of conflict anduncertainty?In the fourth and final part of this book we examine the ElectoralCollege system that is used in the United States to select a president. There we bring together ideas that are introduced in each of the threeearlier parts of the book. | The Mathematics of Politics GBP 42.99 1

Preventive Conservation - From Climate and Damage Monitoring to a Systemic and Integrated Approach Proceedings of the International WTA - PR The concept of preventive conservation has successfully introduced the knowledge that prevention is better than cure into the built heritage sector. The benefits of this approach are the cost-effectiveness the improved protection of heritage values the reduced risk for accumulating deterioration and additional damage the prolongation of the physical service life of buildings and building parts and the empowerment of local communities in dealing with heritage. Increasingly arguments rise against reactive treatment patterns which result too often in postponed interventions and increasing costs for restoration. WTA-Nederland-Vlaanderen the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation and the Civil Engineering Department of KU Leuven jointly organised an international conference on preventive conservation approaches - including climate and damage monitoring - and how to implement these monitoring tools within a systemic approach. The conference took place in context of the international WTA days 3-5 April 2019 and the 10th anniversary of the UNESCO Chair on Preventive Conservation Monitoring and Maintenance of Monuments and Sites (PRECOM³OS). The contributions meet the increasing demand for information case studies and practical examples to support the transition towards more preventive rather than reactive conservation actions. The volume aims at academics and professionals involved or interested in the conservation of buildings building parts and heritage. | Preventive Conservation - From Climate and Damage Monitoring to a Systemic and Integrated Approach Proceedings of the International WTA - PR GBP 44.99 1
