Develops a full set of homotopical algebra techniques dedicated to the study of higher categories.

This book concerns the question of how the solution of asystem of ODE's varies when the differential equationvaries. The goal is to give nonzero asymptotic expansionsfor the solution in terms of a parameter expressing how somecoefficients go to infinity. A particular classof familiesof equations is considered, where the answer exhibits a newkind of behavior not seen in most work known until now. Thetechniques include Laplace transform and the method ofstationary phase, and a combinatorial technique forestimating the contributions of terms in an infinite seriesexpansion for the solution....

This volume contains the proceedings of the CATS4 Conference on Higher Categorical Structures and their Interactions with Algebraic Geometry, Algebraic Topology and Algebra, held from July 2-7, 2012, at CIRM in Luminy, France. Over the past several years, the CATS conference series has brought together top level researchers from around the world interested in relative and higher category theory and its applications to classical mathematical domains. Included in this volume is a collection of articles covering the applications of categories and stacks to geometry, topology and algebra....

In the first major study in English of Spanish agrarian history, James Simpson examines how traditional agriculture responded to population growth and the integration of commodity markets. He argues that decisive changes in farming techniques only occurred at the start of this century; development was then interrupted by the Spanish Civil War and subsequent short-sighted government policies, only resuming in the 1950s. This comprehensive study will be of relevance to historical geography and agrarian history, as well as economic history.

In this distinctive new history of the origins of the Spanish Civil War, James Simpson and Juan Carmona tackle the highly-debated issue of why it was that Spain's democratic Second Republic failed. They explore the interconnections between economic growth, state capacity, rural social mobility and the creation of mass competitive political parties, and how these limited the effectiveness of the new republican governments, and especially their attempts to tackle economic and social problems within the agricultural sector. They show how political change during the Republic had a major economic...
