  • Remedies Cases and Materials in Australian Private Law presents a selection of cases and legislation to introduce students to the remedies available under Australian law. It offers the depth and context required to understand and analyse the application of private law remedies. Developed to accompany the second edition of Remedies in Australian Private Law, and following its accessible and systematic structure, this casebook contains carefully curated extracts from landmark cases, legislation and secondary sources. The selected extracts offer a comprehensive yet concise guide to the application of remedies. Each chapter includes clear explanations of topics and links to material in the principles text, along with flowcharts and diagrams to summarise complex cases and concepts. Review questions encourage students to analyse decisions from important cases and test their knowledge. Written by an expert author team, Remedies Cases and Materials in Australian Private Law is an invaluable resource which enables students to understand remedial law.

  • Computer scientists often need to learn new programming languages quickly. The best way to prepare for this is to understand the foundational principles that underlie even the most complicated industrial languages. This text for an undergraduate programming languages course distills great languages and their design principles down to easy-to-learn 'bridge' languages implemented by interpreters whose key parts are explained in the text. The book goes deep into the roots of both functional and object-oriented programming, and it shows how types and modules, including generics/polymorphism, contribute to effective programming. The book is not just about programming languages; it is also about programming. Through concepts, examples, and more than 300 practice exercises that exploit the interpreter, students learn not only what programming-language features are but also how to do things with them. Substantial implementation projects include Milner's type inference, both copying and mark-and-sweep garbage collection, and arithmetic on arbitrary-precision integers.

Finite Element and Finite Volume Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics

  • Introduces the two most common numerical methods for heat transfer and fluid dynamics equations, using clear and accessible language. This unique approach covers all necessary mathematical preliminaries at the beginning of the book for the reader to sail smoothly through the chapters. Students will work step-by-step through the most common benchmark heat transfer and fluid dynamics problems, firmly grounding themselves in how the governing equations are discretized, how boundary conditions are imposed, and how the resulting algebraic equations are solved. Providing a detailed discussion of the discretization steps and time approximations, and clearly presenting concepts of explicit and implicit formulations, this graduate textbook has everything an instructor needs to prepare students for their exams and future careers. Each illustrative example shows students how to draw comparisons between the results obtained using the two numerical methods, and at the end of each chapter they can test and extend their understanding by working through the problems provided. A solutions manual is also available for instructors.

    Camino al español
    Published online:
    22 February 2023
    Print publication:
    26 January 2023, pp 3-6

  • Summary

    Camino al español was conceived originally as a language course that would take students with no previous knowledge to approximately the level required for university entrance in the UK. We also saw it as suitable for ‘fast track’ learning, for example, for university students or their equivalents who needed to establish the linguistic basis for advanced study of the language. In terms of the levels proposed in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), we felt confident that students who completed the course could achieve levels B1/B2. The carefully structured units provide opportunities to master the Spanish language by developing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, and to gain an awareness of the varieties of Spanish across the world.

    The People's Dictatorship

  • Summary

    In a succinct and highly readable text, Alan E. Steinweis presents a synthesis of classic and recent research on the origins, development, and downfall of Nazi Germany. Rooted in nationalism and racism, and commanded by a charismatic leader, the Nazi movement created a populist and authoritarian alternative to a democratic republic plagued by unemployment and political fragmentation. A one-party dictatorship was achieved quickly after Hitler became chancellor in January 1933. In the years before World War II, the Nazi regime achieved popularity by restoring Germany to great-power status and by presiding over an economic recovery fueled by rearmament. Simultaneously the regime set in place an apparatus of coercion to marginalize Jews and other groups deemed objectionable by Nazi ideology, as well as to quell domestic opposition to the declared goals of the German “People’s Community.” Nazi ideology formed the basis for Germany’s goals and actions in World War II, which aimed at German hegemony and a racial transformation of Europe. Despite considerable internal dissent and some active resistance, the Nazi regime mobilized German society behind the war effort. In the end, Nazism was defeated from the outside by a superior military alliance.
