‘Verbluffende, mooie paleokunst. Nu zien we hoe de dinosauriërs er echt uitzagen.’ — CNN

‘Benton neemt je mee terug naar de dinotijd ... in full colour, aan de hand van het nieuwste onderzoek.’

— Anne Schulp, hoogleraar vertebratenpaleontologie aan de Universiteit Utrecht en onderzoeker bij Naturalis in Leiden

Hoe zagen dinosauriërs er echt uit? Daarover is de afgelopen jaren veel duidelijk geworden. Nieuwe wetenschappelijke technieken maken het mogelijk de huid, de schubben,...

Holt's Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition, blends computational and conceptual topics throughout to prepare students for the rigors of conceptual thinking in an abstract setting. The early treatment of conceptual topics in the context of Euclidean space gives students more time, and a familiar setting, in which to absorb them. This organization also makes it possible to treat eigenvalues and eigenvectors earlier than in most texts. Abstract vector spaces are introduced later, on...

In Houtstromen ontrafelt Paul Borghaerts de herkomst van hout, dat gebruikt werd in Noord-Nederland gedurende de periode van 1600 tot 1950 om boerderijen te bouwen. De auteur ontdekte dat de herkomst van het hout in de loop van de jaren steeds verschoof, waardoor er negen belangrijke herkomstgebieden en perioden zijn aan te wijzen. De nieuwe inzichten verklaren onder meer de veranderingen in de landbouw en de grote invloed op de economische groei in heel Nederland. Voor zijn unieke onderzoek ...

This book builds theoretical statistics from the first principles of probability theory. Starting from the basics of probability, the authors develop the theory of statistical inference using techniques, definitions, and concepts that are statistical and are natural extensions and consequences of previous concepts. Intended for first-year graduate students, this book can be used for students majoring in statistics who have a solid mathematics background.

It can also be used in a way that stre...

Previous editions of this popular textbook offered an accessible and practical introduction to numerical analysis. An Introduction to Numerical Methods: A MATLAB (R) Approach, Fourth Edition continues to present a wide range of useful and important algorithms for scientific and engineering applications. The authors use MATLAB to illustrate each numerical method, providing full details of the computed results so that the main steps are easily visualized and interpreted.

This edition also inclu...

A beautiful collection of 100 international flowers and the ways they have shaped our lives

Wie oog heeft voor de wereld boven zijn hoofd, zal zich vaak verwonderen. Of het nu gaat om de adembenemende variatie in wolken of het kleurenspel bij regenbogen, halo's, poollicht en zonsondergang. Of om onvoorstelbare sterrenstelsels, fonkelende planeten en de wassende maan als veranderlijke kunstwerken aan de nachtelijke hemel.

In dit boek beschrijven Helga van Leur en Govert Schilling alles wat er overdag en 's nachts te zien is aan het uitspansel. Van wolkentypen, optische verschijnselen ...

The iconic series that started it all returns- accompanying an 8-part programme narrated by David Attenborough, Planet Earth III takes you closer than ever to the world's most fascinating animals and landscapes - and humanity's irrevocable impact upon them. There are over 100 billion planets in our galaxy. Only one is home to life. Ranging across seven dramatic habitats, from the depths of the ocean, to the scorching desert and into the to the darkest jungle, Planet Earth III showcases places...

This book develops the mathematical tools essential for students in the life sciences to describe interacting systems and predict their behavior. From predator-prey populations in an ecosystem, to hormone regulation within the body, the natural world abounds in dynamical systems that affect us profoundly. Complex feedback relations and counter-intuitive responses are common in nature; this book develops the quantitative skills needed to explore these interactions.

Differential equations are t...
