"A remarkably interesting account of Indonesian agricultural history, primarily covering the period of Dutch control, from 1619 to 1942. Drawing on ecology, sociology, and economics, Geertz...provides an insightful and persuasive analysis."--The Annals
"If colonial geography ever succeeds in establishing itself as a discrete and integral focus of inquiry, it may well date its majority to the publication of Agricultural Involution."--Geographical Record
"A brilliant and superbly written study...an incisive, even frightening description of the most crucial dilemma in contemporary Indonesia."--Agricultural History
"A valuable and important study...in which source materials from history, economics, soil science, geography and other fields are brilliantly marshalled and interrelated. But besides being an exemplary study in the interaction of history, physical environment and agricultural technology, this book represents a watershed between narrowly conceived ethnographies and the flood of verbose and ill digested post-war 'technology-and-social-change' monographs that are wont to aim high and hit wide...A model of comparative analytical writing."--Man

Road to Involution is a practical guide to everyday enlightenment. It is based on Vlad's experiences in yoga, eastern and western philosophy, and neuro-linguistic programming. It is a bold yet simple book, offering personal anecdotes, engaging stories, professional insights, and useful techniques to deepen your mind, expand your awareness, and unlock your full potential.

This monograph is an exposition of the theory of central simple algebras with involution, in relation to linear algebraic groups. It provides the algebra-theoretic foundations for much of the recent work on linear algebraic groups over arbitrary fields. Involutions are viewed as twisted forms of (hermitian) quadrics, leading to new developments on the model of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms. In addition to classical groups, phenomena related to triality are also discussed, as well as groups of type $F_4$ or $G_2$ arising from exceptional Jordan or composition algebras. Several results and notions appear here for the first time, notably the discriminant algebra of an algebra with unitary involution and the algebra-theoretic counterpart to linear groups of type $D_4$. This volume also contains a Bibliography and Index. Features: original material not in print elsewhere a comprehensive discussion of algebra-theoretic and group-theoretic aspects extensive notes that give historical perspective and a survey on the literature rational methods that allow possible generalization to more general base rings

Wouldn’t it be better to live the integrated life you were meant to live, instead of a lopsided life, as most of us have been living for centuries?

At a time when everything around us is unraveling at lightning speed, wouldn’t it be better to start tuning into our reliable source for guidance? Isn’t it time to live the integrated life we were meant to live, instead of a lopsided life, as most of us have been living for centuries? INTUITION INVOLUTION is a reminder and a strong prompter to integrate intuition into everyday living for a clear, harmonious path in life. Although, the book is primarily aimed at women, the information can be applied to both genders.

INTUITION INVOLUTION brings to light several points related to intuition such as:
Creating balance between our intellect and intuition
The roles of the solar plexus and the hind brain in relation to intuition
The four core values of Intuition and their significance for our existence
Why bonding fully with intuition is the answer to the chaos of modern daily existence
How living by Intuition can best guide against manipulation, suicide and struggles
Introducing “The Art of Intuiting the Process of Being ™”
The differences between the Spirit and Divine essence

While the book gives practical guides to enhance women’s confidence in trusting their intuitive voice by providing simple and easy intuition-building exercises, it also discusses how integrating intuition into all aspects of life such as health, relationship and business could be most beneficial for our world, because segregating intuition from the intellect has resulted in pandemic fear in our lives. The process of connecting with intuition is not made out to be “mystical” or “mysterious” – it is unnecessary to spend hours trying to “make a connection.” Rather, readers of the book learn how easy and natural it is to communicate with their intuition and come to think of it as an ally and friend that without fail will always lead them to a True Path.

If you feel that there must be a more balanced approach to life and want to become adept at using your intuition for succeeding on all levels of your being, INTUITION INVOLUTION points the way and shows you how to begin transforming your life –now.

The book provides a self-contained account of the formal theory of general, i.e. also under- and overdetermined, systems of differential equations which in its central notion of involution combines geometric, algebraic, homological and combinatorial ideas.  It presents for the first time in book form the theory of Pommaret bases, a special kind of Gröbner bases closely related to Koszul homology, and contains an extensive discussion of the existence and uniqueness of solutions of formally well-posed initial value problems and a novel presentation of Vessiot's dual version of the Cartan-Kähler theory. Special emphasis is put on a constructive approach leading to effective algorithms.

This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

This is the first book to contain a rigorous construction and uniqueness proof for the largest and most famous sporadic simple group, the Monster. The author provides a systematic exposition of the theory of the Monster group, which remains largely unpublished despite great interest from both mathematicians and physicists due to its intrinsic connection with various areas in mathematics, including reflection groups, modular forms and conformal field theory.
