This collection of essays focuses on counter-identities in American consciousness to explain how foreign policies and the discourse surrounding them develop. Whether it is the seemingly ubiquitous evil of Hitler during World War II or the more complicated perceptions of communism throughout the Cold War, these essays illuminate the cultural contexts that constructed rival identities. The authors challenge our understanding of...

This exposition provides the state-of-the art on the differential geometry of hypersurfaces in real, complex, and quaternionic space forms. Special emphasis is placed on isoparametric and Dupin hypersurfaces in real space forms as well as Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms. The book is accessible to a reader who has completed a one-year graduate course in differential geometry. The text, including open problems and an extensive list of references, is an excellent resource for researchers in this area.

Geometry of Hypersurfaces begins with the basic theory of...

To help the robotics industry and broader society, we need to not only press ahead on a wide range of issues, but also identify new ones emerging as quickly as the field is evolving. For instance, where...

"This is an outstanding collection of essays, organized around questions of identity and 'othering'. The editors are themselves prominent scholars of United States foreign policy. They have assembled an impressive collection of scholars to examine the interplay of identity and policy from colonial times to the 21st century. The combination of social constructivist methodology and historically rigorous scholarship gives this collection an original and distinctive quality." - John Dumbrell, Durham University

"This is a terrific work, one that would be used very profitably by any faculty...
