Introduction: Exile and Social Transformation

In Exile

contains a new preface. The reviewer is compelled to admit that the preface of Lyra Modulata is beyond his range of appreciation and that he does not grasp the subtlety of the poet's " musaic spelling." The preface of In Exile though newly-written contains little new matter. It gives a somewhat incoherent account of the indifference shown by the world in general, and the English-speaking races ...

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...

Introduction to Transformation Groups

These are the notes from a course that was an introduction to the theory of finite (or compact) transformation groups, including basic definitions and facts, standard examples, algebraic restrictions, fundamental constructions, all with an emphasis on group actions on manifolds in lowdimensional geometric topology. There is a focus on problems and results that have interesting versions in low d...

Migration and Social Transformation

The establishment of the Migration Studies Unit can be understood as part of a process of rapid growth of migration studies – which is happening not just in Britain but also throughout Europe and indeed the rest of the world. Compared with the situation twenty or even ten years ago, migration studies has come of age. There are degree courses, specialised journals, conferences and a European net...
