In this study, Russell explores the ways in which Willa Cather and Toni Morrison subvert the textual expectations of gendered geography and push against the boundaries of the official canon. As Russell demonstrates, the unique depictions Cather and Morrison create of the American landscape challenge existing assertions about American fiction. Specifically, Russell argues that looking at the intimate connections between space, gender, race, and identity as they play out in the fiction of Cather and Morrison refutes the myth of a unified American landscape and thus opens up the territory of American fiction.

This two-volume set on Mathematical Principles of the Internet provides a comprehensive overview of the mathematical principles of Internet engineering. The books do not aim to provide all of the mathematical foundations upon which the Internet is based. Instead, these cover only a partial panorama and the key principles. Volume 1 explores Internet engineering, while the supporting mathematics is covered in Volume 2. The chapters on mathematics complement those on the engineering episodes, and an effort has been made to make this work succinct, yet self-contained. Elements of information theory, algebraic coding theory, cryptography, Internet traffic, dynamics and control of Internet congestion, and queueing theory are discussed. In addition, stochastic networks, graph-theoretic algorithms, application of game theory to the Internet, Internet economics, data mining and knowledge discovery, and quantum computation, communication, and cryptography are also discussed. In order to study the structure and function of the Internet, only a basic knowledge of number theory, abstract algebra, matrices and determinants, graph theory, geometry, analysis, optimization theory, probability theory, and stochastic processes, is required. These mathematical disciplines are defined and developed in the books to the extent that is needed to develop and justify their application to Internet engineering.
This book talks about the traditional subjects of Euclidean, relative and projective geometry in two and three measurements, including the order of conics and quadrics, and geometric changes. These subjects are imperative both for the scientific establishing of the understudy and for applications to different subjects. They might be contemplated in the principal year or as a moment course in geometry. The material is exhibited geometrically, and it means to build up the geometric instinct and thinking about the understudy, and in addition his capacity to comprehend and give numerical evidences. Direct polynomial math isn't an essential, and is kept to an absolute minimum. The book incorporates a couple of methodological curiosities, and a substantial number of activities and issues with arrangements. Particularly composed as an incorporated study of the improvement of diagnostic geometry, this great investigation adopts a one of a kind strategy to the historical backdrop of thoughts.
