In the past decades cultural heritage stored at museums and archives has been returned to source communities in various forms and under diverse circumstances. This contribution to the Elements series explores and discusses specifically the return of digital 'ethnographic' images to indigenous and non indigenous people that share a common recent history of coexistence and dispute over the same territory that is to be understood in the light of the consolidation of a Nation State with a settler colonial logic. The author argues that the affective reception of what a given archive labels as tangible and intangible heritage varies according to each audience´s particular memory practices, historical experience and way of relating to shared hegemonic notions of 'whiteness' and 'indigeneity'.
Dams and Waterways, a title in the five-title series Frameworks: Science, Technology, and the Built Environment, illuminates the history, architecture, environmental impact, and scientific and enginee
The basis of this graduate-level textbook is a careful survey of a wide range of problems affecting the solution of linear partial differential equations. The book begins with a fairly elementary introduction to the theory of Fourier series of continuous functions and goes on to describe the fundamental theory of linear partial differential equations of elliptic and hyperbolic types, equations of evolution, semi-linear hyperbolic equations and selected topics on Green's functions and spectra of some special operators. The book is intended for use by pure mathematicians in functional analysis. The selection of material is interesting and differs from existing literature in European languages. This paperback edition will make it particularly attractive to graduate students in pure and applied mathematics.
