The Routledge Companion to the American Landscape (Routledge International Handbooks)
by Alyson L. Greiner Chris W. Post Geoffrey L. BuckleyThe Routledge Companion to the American Landscape provides a comprehensive overview of the American landscape in a way fit for the twenty-first century, not only in its topical and regional scope but also in its methodological and disciplinary diversity.Critically surveying the contemporary scholarship on the American landscape, this companion brings together scholars from the social sciences and humanities who focus their work on understanding the polyphonic evolution of the United States’ landscape. It simultaneously assesses the development of the US landscape as well as the scholarly thought that has driven innovation and continued research about that landscape. Four broad sections focus on key areas of scholarship: environmental landscapes, social, cultural, and popular identities in the landscape, political landscapes, and urban/economic landscapes. A special essay, "American Landscapes Under Siege" and accompanying short case studies call attention to the legacies and realities of race in the American landscape, bridging the discussion of social and political landscapes.This companion offers an invaluable and up-to-date guide for scholars and graduate students to current thinking across the range of disciplines which converge in the study of place, including Geography, Cultural Studies, and History as well as the interdisciplinary fields of American Studies, Environmental Studies, and Planning.

Polynomial Completeness in Algebraic Systems
by Kalle Kaarli Alden F. PixleyThe study of polynomial completeness of algebraic systems has only recently matured, and until now, lacked a unified treatment. Polynomial Completeness in Algebraic Systems examines the entire field with one coherent approach. The authors focus on the theory of affine complete varieties but also give the primary known results on affine completeness in special varieties. The book includes an extensive introductory chapter that provides the necessary background and makes the results accessible to graduate students as well as researchers. Numerous exercises illustrate the theory, and examples-and counterexamples-clarify the boundaries of the subject.
