Classical Covariant Fields
In contemporary field theory, the word classical is reserved for an analytical framework in which the local equations of motion provide a complete description of the evolution of the fields. Classical field theory is a differential expression of change in functions of space and time, which summarizes the state of a physical system entirely in terms of smooth fields.

Animals through Chinese History: Earliest Times to 1911
This volume opens a door into the rich history of animals in China. As environmental historians turn their attention to expanded chronologies of natural change, something new can be said about human history through animals and about the globally diverse cultural and historical dynamics that have led to perceptions of animals as wild or cultures as civilized.

An Introduction to Infinite-Dimensional Differential Geometry
Introducing foundational concepts in infinite-dimensional differential geometry beyond Banach manifolds, this text is based on Bastiani calculus. It focuses on two main areas of infinite-dimensional geometry: infinite-dimensional Lie groups and weak Riemannian geometry, exploring their connections to manifolds of (smooth) mappings.

At the Size Limit - Effects of Miniaturization in Insects
This book addresses microinsects, their structure and their differences from larger relatives. Moreover, it discusses structural changes that accompany extreme diminution in living organisms, evolutionary inventions that help insects to live in the microworld, and factors that limit the size of animals. It also takes a careful look at the potential benefits of the study of microinsects for solv…
