Download or read book Gravity Models of Spatial Interaction Behavior written by Ashish Sen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gravity models describe, and hence help predict, spatial flows of commuters, air-travelers, migrants, commodities and even messages. They are one of the oldest and most widely used of all social science models. This book presents an up-to-date, consistent and unified approach to the theory, methods and application of the gravity model - which spans from the axiomatic foundations of such models all the way to practical hints for their use. "I have found no better general method for use in applied research dealing with spatial interaction... It is against this background that the present book by Sen and Smith is most welcomed." Walter Isard

Download or read book Gravity and Spatial Interaction Models written by Kingsley E. Heynes and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haynes and Fotheringham provide a comprehensive introduction to the four basic forms of gravity models. Gravity and spatial interaction -- extensively applied in forecasting -- has provided a major contribution to social science literature. The authors trace the different applications of the gravity model to market area analysis including: determining the boundaries of market areas, determining the demand for goods or services, and examining problems of operating the retail model. Six fully-developed, real-life examples of the use of these models are presented: planning a new service, defining retail shopping boundaries, forecasting migration and voting patterns, examining university enrollment by area, determining the optimal size of a shopping complex, and locating a facility to maximize custom. The discussion is kept at an elementary mathematical level and is aimed primarily at those unacquainted with the finer workings of gravity and spatial interaction models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] absorbing novel that will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell.” —Booklist “A poignant and carefully crafted story.” —School Library Journal “A gorgeous, sad, funny, and wise book about letting go and finding your place in the world.” —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces Parker struggles to reconnect with her twin brother, Charlie—who’s recovering from cancer—as she tries to deal with her anxiety about the future in this powerful new novel. Twins Parker and Charlie are polar opposites. Where Charlie is fearless, Parker is careful. Charlie is confident while Parker aims to please. Charlie is outgoing and outspoken; Parker is introverted and reserved. And of course, there’s the one other major difference: Charlie got cancer. Parker didn’t. But now that Charlie is officially in remission, life couldn’t be going better for Parker. She’s landed a prestigious summer internship at the hospital and is headed to Harvard in the fall to study pediatric oncology—which is why the anxiety she’s felt since her Harvard acceptance is so unsettling. And it doesn’t help that her relationship with Charlie has been on the rocks since his diagnosis. Enter Finn, a boy who’s been leaving strange graffiti messages all over town. Parker can’t stop thinking about those messages, or about Finn, who makes her feel free for the first time: free to doubt, free to make mistakes, and free to confront the truth that Parker has been hiding from for a long time. That she keeps trying to save Charlie, when the person who really needs saving is herself.

Book excerpt: If your family's wealth has failed to increase or has decreased in the last 50 years, then you are not alone. The rest of you probably fall somewhere in the middle, where there has been progression, however, at a snail's pace. In fact, if this describes you, you are among the majority of families feeling the crunch of this post-covid economy. With Inflation on the rise and prices soaring, the pressure of financial survival will be felt for years to come. According to a report written by The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (www.cbpp.org) in 2020 on Income and wealth disparity in America, the concentration of the country's total wealth went to the top 1% to a tune of roughly 40%, while the bottom 90% fell to the low 20's. With the new economic reality that we are facing, this gap shall widen to its largest proportion in recorded history. Perhaps you are among the ranks of the middle class whose wealth accumulation has been mediocre at best compared to the top 1%, and this makes you mad enough to "Occupy Wall Street". Don't do it. Get in the game. Let me show you how. Read this book! If you want to create a life worth living for yourself and those around you, then this book is for you. In this Blessed Land of Opportunity where you can pick up a rock, call it a pet, wrap it in packaging, and sell it to millions of people-ARE YOU SERIOUS? If you are not tapping into the millions (yes millions) of ways to enterprise in the American economic system, then this book is for you. If all you need is the right guidance to tap into the rivers of capital that flow by the billions globally every day, then this book is for you. This book will teach you how to leverage your Social, Human, and Financial Capital, each with its own measurable value and exportable capitalization ability, and design, build, and grow your wealth at a rate that will free you from wasting any more time on the rat track. Networking has historically only focused on the individual axis, and as a result provided an incomplete picture of the power of the "3D Networking" of an individual, group of individuals, and/or group of groups of individuals. If you have read this books description to this point, then you might as well start reading. Trust your intuition. Make the purchase, you'll thank me later—Mr. Get It Done
Download or read book Redefining Equality written by Neal Devins and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of equality is central to American civic life and one of the foundations of our national identity. Charges of unequal treatment continue to be voiced nationwide, in both the public discourse and the courts, yet there is no consensus on the meaning of equality. Competing views on this topic have erupted into a cultural conflict that looms large in contemporary American politics. In this collection of insightful essays, distinguished scholars in law, history, and social science present varying perspectives on this fundamental concept. Addressing the specific cases behind the headlines and the abstract arguments within the legal texts, the contributors look closely at everything from school bussing programs and affirmative action to the role of the courts and the politics of equality. Various examples and definitions of equality, culled from America's past and present, are summarized and examined in ways that illustrate how and why equality issues directly affect men and women of all races and backgrounds. Redefining Equality, a balanced array of assessments regarding our nation's historical and contemporary thoughts on equality and civil rights, will prove most informative to students of law, political science, and recent American history.

Download or read book Force Movement Intensity written by Ghassan Hage and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the scientific works that have influenced the social sciences and humanities, none has matched the profound effect of the work of Isaac Newton. In his 1687 masterpiece Principia Mathematica he laid the foundation of classical mechanics in his discoveries of the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. He reoriented human understanding of the cosmos, thus boosting the confidence of human beings to access elements of what they saw as the divine logic behind the order of things and to have a sense of control over it. From the nineteenth century to the present day, Newton's science has inspired scholars of society in their attempts to discern the patterns of social life. For others, such a positivist project serves as a cautionary tale to be resisted by contemporary social sciences. This book considers the original and continuing legacy of Newtonian theories and imaginaries in the vast array of human attempts to understand the world. Drawing from a range of disciplines; including anthropology, sociology, the history of science, literary studies, cultural studies, social theory and economics; the essays in this volume engage with Newton as a thinker and examine his legacy. Some contributions illustrate the power of physical metaphors in understanding the social world; many others point to the limits of this endeavour. Still others show how since the eighteenth century Newtonian thought has influenced thinkers as diverse as Blake, Marx, Freud and Pierre Bourdieu. This innovative collection prompts a reconsideration of the importance of Newton for the social sciences and humanities.
