The book explains the Putin era''s ambivalent approach to Asia and finds lessons from earlier approaches worthy of further attention. The overview compares how strategic thinking evolved, while reflecting on factors that shaped it.

Japanese leaders and often the media too have substituted symbols for strategy in dealing with Asia. This comprehensive review of four periods over twenty years exposes the strategic gap in viewing individually and collectively China, Taiwan, the Korean peninsula, Russia, Central Asia, and regionalism.

Linear algebra can serve as an analytical tool in science and engineering. Geologists have made much progress in the application of linear algebra, most notably in the fields of structural geology, petrology, petroleum geology, computer modelling and geostatistics. "Linear Algebra in Geology" introduces linear algebra to students of geology and explores the possibilities of using the techniques as an aid to solving geological problems which can be solved numerically. This text applies multivariate statistical methods extensively to geological data processing; a chapter discussing the basic matrices used and linking them to the mathematics of the methods is therefore included. Key topics include: solution of simultaneous linear equations; basic matrix algebra methods, including vectors and matrices; Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors; and multivariate regression, discriminant function analysis and factor analysis. This book should be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduates studying structural geology, petrology and petroleum geology.
