Coastal Dynamics
Judith Bosboom & Marcel J.F. Stive · Delft University of Technology
This textbook focuses on the interrelation between physical wave, flow and sediment transport phenomena and the resulting morphodynamics of a wide variety of coastal systems. It is unique in that it explicitly connects the dynamics of open coasts and tidal basins; not only is the interaction between open coasts and tidal basins of basic importance for the evolution of most coastal systems, but describing the similarities between their physical processes is highly instructive as well.

Lifespan Development A Psychological Perspective 4e
Martha Lally & Suzanne Valentine-French · College of Lake County
Developmental Psychology, also known as Human Development or Lifespan Development, is the scientific study of ways in which people change, as well as stay the same, from conception to death. You will no doubt discover in the course of studying that the field examines change across a broad range of topics. These include physical and other psychophysiological processes, cognition, language, and psychosocial development, including the impact of family and peers.

Introductory Statistics
Barbara Illowsky & Susan Dean · De Anza College
This text follows scope and sequence requirements of a one-semester introduction to statistics course and is geared toward students majoring in fields other than math or engineering. The text assumes some knowledge of intermediate algebra and focuses on statistics application over theory. Introductory Statistics includes innovative practical applications that make the text relevant and accessible, as well as collaborative exercises, technology integration problems, and statistics labs.

Polynomial Interpolations on Time Scales
Svetlin G. Georgiev · Sorbonne University
Polynomial interpolation is a very useful tool employed in many areas of science in which a given set of data needs to be represented by a function, in particular, by a polynomial taking the given values at the points of the given data set.

MATH-201: Elements of Statistics and Probability
Lake Tahoe Community College
The use of probability techniques, hypothesis testing, and predictive techniques to facilitate decision-making. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-square and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings.

Intrumental Analysis
David Harvey · DePauw University
Instrumental analysis investigates the use of scientific instruments to study systems. Typical topics that are included within this area are spectroscopy, nuclear spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, crystallography, electrochemical analysis, thermal analysis, separations, and microscopy.

ECD Principles and Practices
Alice Hale · Chabot College
Explores the typical roles and expectations of early childhood educators emphasizing the key role of relationships, constructive adult-child interactions. Identifies professional ethics, career pathways, and professional standards. Introduces best practices for developmentally appropriate learning environments, curriculum, and effective pedagogy for young children including how play contributes to children's learning, growth, and development.

Living With Earthquakes in The Pacific Northwest
Robert S. Yeats · Oregon State University
In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research reveals subtle movements on the deepest part of this fault every 14-15 months — building up strain toward the next major earthquake.

Elementary Algebra
Wade Ellis & Denny Burzynski · LibreTexts
Elementary Algebra is a work text that covers the traditional topics studied in a modern elementary algebra course. It is intended for students who (1) have no exposure to elementary algebra, (2) have previously had an unpleasant experience with elementary algebra, or (3) need to review algebraic concepts and techniques.

Applied Probability
Paul Pfeiffer · Rice University
This is a "first course" in the sense that it presumes no previous course in probability. The mathematical prerequisites are ordinary calculus and the elements of matrix algebra. A few standard series and integrals are used, and double integrals are evaluated as iterated integrals. The reader who can evaluate simple integrals can learn quickly from the examples how to deal with the iterated integrals used in the theory of expectation and conditional expectation.

BCHM 355/455: Biochemistry
Neil Voss · Roosevelt University
Biochemical processes sustain life by driving molecular interactions, enzyme activity, and metabolic pathways. Water chemistry, amino acids, and protein structure determine biological function, while enzyme catalysis and thermodynamics regulate energy flow. Metabolic pathways and allosteric control maintain cellular balance.

Riemann-Stieltjes Integration on Time Scales
Svetlin G. Georgiev · Sorbonne University
S. Hilger introduced in 1990 the calculus on time scales or on measure chains.This kind of calculus showed the possibility to manage dynamic equations considering a very wide range of time scales transforming in this way the differential and difference calculus into special cases of a more general one. Examples of time scales are the real numbers, the integers, the sets having cluster points or even such as the Cantor set. In this cycle we study the process of Riemann-Stieltjes delta integrati

Introduction to Childhood Studies
Susan Eliason · Bridgewater State University
The book supports a speaking-intensive course that introduces you to key concepts in the study of childhood from multidisciplinary perspectives. Your reading and listening will allow you to examine the historical and socio-cultural constructions of “the child” and childhood, exploring topics such as child development, cultural notions of adolescence, children as social agents, children’s rights, and challenges facing children in both local and global contexts.
