Many students of various disciplines such as mathematics, economics, industrial engineering and computer science often take one course in operations research. This book is written to provide a succinct and efficient introduction to the subject for these students, while offering a sound and fundamental preparation for more advanced courses in linear and nonlinear optimization, and many stochastic models and analyses. It provides relevant analytical tools for this varied audience and will also serve professionals, corporate managers, and technical consultants

Storia dell'animazione giapponese non è il primo volume a occuparsi del tema, ma è stato il primo saggio storico ad affrontare nel dettaglio sia la produzione non commerciale sia quella industriale dell'animazione del Sol Levante, tenendo conto di tutti i diversi formati: cortometraggi sperimentali, film per le sale, serie televisive, home-video.Caratterizzata da una costante attenzione all'oggettività e alla correttezza dei dati, base di partenza imprescindibile per qualunque discorso ulteriore, l'opera colma un enorme vuoto in un panorama ricco soprattutto di analisi critiche, ma povero di testi di base aggiornati e affidabili che esaminino complessivamente il tema in una prospettiva diacronica. Indirizzata a tutti - appassionati d'animazione, studenti e studiosi della materia, addetti ai lavori - "Storia dell'animazione giapponese" è un voluminoso e organico archivio di informazioni corrette e verificate a vantaggio della futura letteratura scientifica e del dibattito critico sull'argomento.

Pulp icon Bloch (19171994) left his mark in many genrescrime fiction, fantasy, science fiction, mysterybut his most notable work was arguably in horror. The prolific volume, consistent quality and historic significance of Blochs collective work in the genre, especially his considerable short form output, is unparalleled. Subterraneans second Readers Bloch collection (after 2004s The Fear Planet and Other Unusual Destinations ) features some of his best short horror stories. The Bat Is My Brother revolves around a newly unearthed vampires quest for release; the satirical Tooth or Consequences pits a dentist against an undead bloodsucker with a cavity; and the decidedly Lovecraftian Black Lotus chronicles a wisdom-seeking sultans drug-induced journey into madness. While many of these macabre tales are clearly dated, their influence on contemporary horror cannot be overlooked. Although young horror readers may find the language and plot conventions outmoded, genre aficionados will find this collection pure pulp gold.
