Explaining Islamist InsurgenciesThe Case of al-Jamaah al-Islamiyyah and theRadicalisation of the Poso Conflict, 2000–2007

Muhammad Tito Karnavian

Since 9/11 many books have been published onIslamic terrorism, but few of these have considered theissue from the perspective of strategic studies or interms of an “insurgency.” As a result, much of thisliterature ignores the process of radicalisation and failsto ascertain why some people turn to terrorism, whileothers from the same background do not. To counterthis trend, Explaining Islamist Insurgencies explainshow and why the process of Islamist radicalisation isan important step towards acts of terrorism and in theformation of terrorist organisations by focusing onPoso, a small town in Indonesia that experiencedyears of armed sectarian conflict between Muslim andChrisitian communities in 2000–2007. Building on theframeworks provided by previous studies, MuhammedTito Karnavian employs communications theory toexplore the necessary precursors for the legitimisingideology, in this case Salafi-jihadism, to be effectivelydisseminated.

Heprovides compelling evidence (via statistical estimates)that fiscal, monetary, and trade policies cannot solvethe resulting problems since their effectiveness hasplummeted. Leightner also shows that the solution tothe current global economic woes is a “consumptiondriven growth model” (which China advocates but hasyet to fully implement) because when there isinsufficient consumption, excess savings will remainidle, seek a return from rent or deception, or fundspeculative bubbles.

4D Visualization of MatterRecent Collected Works of Ahmed H Zewail,Nobel Laureate

Ahmed H. Zewail

Ever since the beginning of mankind's efforts to pursuescientific inquiry into the laws of nature, visualization ofthe very distant and the very small has beenparamount. The examples are numerous. A centuryago, the atom appeared mysterious, a “raisin or plumpie of no structure,” until it was visualized on theappropriate length and time scales. Similarly, withtelescopic observations, a central dogma of thecosmos was changed and complexity yielded tosimplicity of the heliocentric structure and motion in oursolar system.


For matter, in over a century of developments, majoradvances have been made to explore the innermicroscopic structures and dynamics. These advanceshave benefited many fields of endeavor, butvisualization was incomplete; it was limited either tothe 3D spatial structure or to the 1D temporalevolution. However, in systems with myriads of atoms,4D spatiotemporal visualization is essential fordissecting their complexity. The biological world is richwith examples, and many molecular diseases cannotbe fully understood without such direct visualization,as, for example, in the case of Alzheimer's andParkinson's. The same is true for phenomena inmaterials science, chemistry, and nanoscience.

This anthology is an account of the collected worksthat have emerged over the past decade from Caltech.Through recent publications, the volume providesoverviews of the principles, the electron-basedtechniques, and the applications made. Thanks toadvances in imaging principles and technology, it isnow possible with 4D electron microscopy to reach tenorders of magnitude improvement in time resolutionwhile simultaneously conserving the atomic spatialresolution in visualization. This is certainly a long wayfrom Robert Hooke's microscopy, which was recordedin his 1665 masterpiece Micrographia.

Asymptotic Perturbation Theory of WavesLev Ostrovsky

This book is an introduction to the perturbation theoryfor linear and nonlinear waves in dispersive anddissipative media. The main focus is on the directasymptotic method which is based on the asymptoticexpansion of the solution in series of one or moresmall parameters and demanding finiteness of theperturbations; this results in slow variation of the main-order solution. The method, which does not depend onintegrability of basic equations, is applied to quasi-harmonic and non-harmonic periodic waves, as well asto localized waves such as solitons, kinks, andautowaves. The basic theoretical ideas are illustratedby many physical examples throughout the book.

Wolfram Schommers

As is known, current physics is mainly based on thecontainer-principle. But this monograph proposes thatthe projection principle is obviously more suitable andcould help to solve open-ended questions as, forexample, in connection with the nature of time, theparticle-wave duality, the cosmological constant, etc.Regarding the statistical behavior of matter, Einstein'sstatement “God does not play dice” has to be seen in anew light, but also Feynman's general viewpoint onquantum theory that it cannot be understood by man.However, conventional quantum theory is obviouslynot a consistent framework as per the projectionprinciple. The term “world equation” is critically probedin this monograph.

Quantum phenomena of many-particle systems arefascinating in their complexity and are consequentlynot fully understood and largely untapped in terms ofpractical applications. Ultracold gases provide aunique platform to build up model systems of quantummany-body physics with highly controlled microscopicconstituents. In this way, many-body quantumphenomena can be investigated with anunprecedented level of precision, and control andmodels that cannot be solved with present daycomputers may be studied using ultracold gases as aquantum simulator.

This book addresses the need for a comprehensivedescription of the most important advancedexperimental methods and techniques that have beendeveloped along with the theoretical framework in aclear and applicable format. The focus is on methodsthat are especially crucial in probing andunderstanding the many-body nature of the quantumphenomena in ultracold gases and most topics arecovered both from a theoretical and experimentalviewpoint, with interrelated chapters written by expertsfrom both sides of research.

The Foundations of Physical LawPeter Rowlands

The book originated in a series of lectures given atLiverpool in 2013 to a group that includedpostgraduate and undergraduate students and staff ofthe Physics Department. They followed from two verysuccessful lectures given to the undergraduatePhysical Society. It seemed that there was a very largeinterest among the students in investigating thefoundations of physics in a way that was never done inphysics courses, and was not available in books orother outlets. However, the idea was to create aframework in which students (and interested staff)could develop their own thinking relative to the ideas inthe lectures. So it was important to create bothconceptual and mathematical structures on the issuesthat are important at this level. The book has the rightsort of technical content to allow for this development,but doesn't lose itself in excessive details. The idealuse for this book would be on postgraduate courseswhere students would be encouraged to think aboutthe foundations in a way that is well beyond thesuperficial. However, a course on aspects of thismaterial would also be valuable at the undergraduatelevel, where students could be stimulated intobelieving that creative thinking could solve theproblems that emerge when we confront foundationalproblems.

Integer Algorithms in Cryptology andInformation AssuranceBoris S. Verkhovsky

Integer Algorithms in Cryptology and InformationAssurance is a collection of the author's owninnovative approaches in algorithms and protocols forsecret and reliable communication. It concentrates onthe “what” and “how” behind implementing theproposed cryptographic algorithms rather than onformal proofs of “why” these algorithms work.

The book consists of five parts (in 28 chapters) anddescribes the author's research results in:• Innovative methods in cryptography (secret

communication between initiated parties);• Cryptanalysis (how to break the encryption

algorithms based on computational complexity ofinteger factorization and discrete logarithmproblems);

• How to provide a reliable transmission of informationvia unreliable communication channels and;

• How to exploit a synergetic effect that stems fromcombining the cryptographic and informationassurance protocols.

This text contains innovative cryptographic algorithms;computationally efficient algorithms for informationassurance; new methods to solve the classicalproblem of integer factorization, which plays a key rolein cryptanalysis; and numerous illustrative examplesand tables that facilitate the understanding of theproposed algorithms.

The Computer After MeAwareness and Self-Awareness in AutonomicSystems

Jeremy Pitt (Ed.)

We are increasingly seeing computer systems whichare expected to function without operator intervention.This is perhaps acceptable for running computernetworks or traffic lights; however, we are now seeingcomputer systems deployed to qualitatively influencehuman judgments such as rulings on legal disputes orfitness for work to evaluate disability benefits. Inkeeping with the precautionary principle, it is importantthat those who are developing this capability —technologists and scientists — think through itspotential implications.

The aim of this book is to explore the technologicaland social implications of computers and robotsbecoming increasingly ‘aware’ of their environment andthe people in it, and their being increasingly ‘self-aware’ of their own existence within it.

The wide-ranging scope of the text covers threedifferent angles of the concept of ‘the computer afterme’: (1) the next generation of computationallypowerful aware systems; (2) systems in which thecomputer is aware of qualitative impact humanconcerns such as law, health and rules; and (3)computers and robots which are aware of themselves.

In RetrospectFrom the Pill to the Pen

Carl Djerassi

These are the reflections of a nonagenarian polymathdescribing the shift from a fifty-year-long career as aworld-famous chemist to a subsequent twenty-five-year immersion in “science-in-fiction” and “science-in-theater,” which is virtually unique among contemporaryscientists. Sharply self-critical, yet full of humor, thisautobiographical account covers themes such as thefuture of sex in an age of technological reproduction,the history of the Pill seen through the eyes of one ofits inventors, innovative — even unique — pedagogicexperiments, the insoluble homelessness of a refugee,suicide, and art collecting. This book is also heavilyillustrated with 94 individual pictures.
