The Chrysanthemum and the Sword : Patterns of Japanese Culture
2019 Reprint of the 1946 Edition by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. Noted American anthropologist Ruth Benedict wrote this book at the invitation of the U.S. Office of War Information, in order to understand and predict the behavior of the Japanese in World War II by reference to a series of contradictions in traditional culture. The book was influential in shaping American ideas about Japanese culture during the occupation of Japan and popularized the distinction between guilt cultures and shame cultures. Although it has received harsh criticism, the book has continued to be influential. The Japanese, Benedict wrote, are: both aggressive and unaggressive, both militaristic and aesthetic, both insolent and polite, rigid and adaptable, submissive and resentful of being pushed around, loyal and treacherous, brave and timid, conservative and hospitable to new waysThe book also affected Japanese conceptions of themselves. It was translated into Japanese in 1948 and became a bestseller in the People's Republic of China when relations with Japan soured.

What are interference patterns?
Interference patterns are a phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves overlap and interact with each other. This interaction results in the waves either reinforcing each other (constructive interference) or canceling each other out (destructive interference). The resulting pattern is a series of alternating bright and dark bands, which can be observed in various wave phenomena such as light, sound, and water waves. Interference patterns are a key concept in understanding wave behavior and are used in various applications such as in interferometry and diffraction.
-
What are resulting patterns?
Resulting patterns are the observable outcomes or trends that emerge from a particular set of circumstances or actions. These patterns can be seen in various aspects of life, such as behavior, nature, or data. By analyzing resulting patterns, we can gain insights into underlying processes, make predictions, or understand the impact of certain factors on a system. Identifying resulting patterns can help us make informed decisions and better navigate complex situations.

What are geometric patterns?
Geometric patterns are repetitive designs or motifs that are created using geometric shapes such as lines, circles, triangles, squares, and other geometric elements. These patterns can be found in various forms of art, architecture, textiles, and nature. Geometric patterns are characterized by their symmetry, order, and precision, and they are often used to create visually appealing and harmonious compositions.

Art and Sustainability : Connecting Patterns for a Culture of Complexity
What is the cultural dimension of sustainability? This book offers a thought-provoking answer, with a theoretical synthesis on »cultures of sustainability«.Describing how modernity degenerated into a culture of unsustainability, to which the arts are contributing, Sacha Kagan engages us in a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world.We must learn not to be afraid of complexity, and to re-awaken a sensibility to patterns that connect.With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years, and a discussion of art and social change, the book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.

Restoring Heritage Grains : The Culture, Biodiversity, Resilience, and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats
Including recipes for baking with EinkornWheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit—witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly’. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment.Fortunately, heritage ‘landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition.Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer—the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer.Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

Gravity, Cosmology, and Astrophysics : A Journey of Exploration and Discovery with Female Pioneers
This open access book provides graduate students and scientists with fundamental knowledge on the mechanics of granular suspensions as well as on the mathematical and numerical techniques that can be adopted to investigate geophysical flows.To this end, three formidably complex problems (sediment transport, flow-like landslide inception, and gravity currents) are considered.The reader will find a thorough combination of elements of fluid and solid mechanics, rheology, geotechnics, geomorphology, civil, and coastal engineering.The first part of the book introduces the problem of granular suspensions from the mathematical viewpoint, focusing on issues that characterise geophysical flows such as turbulence, the effects of inter-particle contacts, and strong velocity gradients.In the second part, different models that were successfully used to investigate the mechanics of granular suspensions in environmental flows are presented.

What are design patterns?
Design patterns are reusable solutions to common problems that arise during software development. They provide a way to standardize and communicate best practices in software design and architecture. By using design patterns, developers can create more maintainable, flexible, and scalable code. Design patterns are not specific to a particular programming language or technology, making them widely applicable across different software development contexts.

What are behavioral patterns?
Behavioral patterns refer to the recurring ways in which individuals or groups of people behave in certain situations. These patterns can include habits, routines, reactions, and responses to various stimuli. They are often influenced by a combination of internal factors such as personality, emotions, and beliefs, as well as external factors such as social norms, cultural influences, and environmental conditions. By recognizing and understanding behavioral patterns, individuals can gain insight into their own actions and those of others, and can potentially make positive changes to their behavior.
-
What are intermediate inheritance patterns?
Intermediate inheritance patterns refer to genetic traits that are not expressed as a simple dominant or recessive trait, but rather show a blending of the two. In this pattern, the heterozygous individual (having one dominant and one recessive allele) will display a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. This means that the trait is not fully dominant or fully recessive, but rather falls somewhere in between. Examples of intermediate inheritance patterns include incomplete dominance and codominance.

What are strange search patterns?
Strange search patterns refer to unusual or unexpected trends in the way people conduct online searches. This could include sudden spikes in searches for a particular topic, unusual combinations of keywords, or a surge in searches related to a specific event or phenomenon. These patterns can provide insights into current events, public interest, or emerging trends, and are often analyzed by researchers, marketers, and data analysts to understand and respond to changing consumer behavior.
