Economic Anthropology (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics)
 |
Economic anthropologists carry out research in all parts of the globe, producing ethnographic studies, cross-cultural comparisons, and theoretical works. They explore how growing markets, new technologies, and expanding capital affect marginalized people or the control of wealth between genders. The empirical studies of economic anthropologists are based on participation and observation and provide an information bank for testing formal theories. read more »
Mathematical Ciphers: From Caesar to RSA (Mathematical World)
 | author: Anne L. Young asin: 0821837303 binding: Paperback list price: $29.00 USD amazon price: $29.00 USD |
A cipher is a scheme for creating coded messages for the secure exchange of information. Throughout history, many different coding schemes have been devised. One of the oldest and simplest mathematical systems was used by Julius Caesar. This is where Mathematical Ciphers begins. Building on that simple system, Young moves on to more complicated schemes, ultimately ending with the RSA cipher, which is used to provide security for the Internet. This book is structured differently from most mathematics texts. It does not begin with a mathematical topic, but rather with a cipher. read more »
The Economics of Public Private Partnerships (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics)
|
This important collection presents an authoritative selection of papers on public private partnerships. The literature is relatively new, and draws on the disciplines of both economics and engineering. As well as examining the recent experience of these schemes - whose evolution has accelerated in recent years - this insightful collection also considers the intellectual origins of the concept, and investigates the organizational and risk management aspects of PPPs. It will be an essential source of reference for all those with an interest in this topical subject.
Algebraic Methods in Cryptography (Contemporary Mathematics)
 | asin: 0821840371 binding: Paperback list price: $59.00 USD amazon price: $47.60 USD |
The book consists of contributions related mostly to public-key cryptography, including the design of new cryptographic primitives as well as cryptanalysis of previously suggested schemes. Most papers are original research papers in the area that can be loosely defined as "non-commutative cryptography"; this means that groups (or other algebraic structures) which are used as platforms are non-commutative.
