Collection of six short films & three intervalometer (time lapse) experiments from cult director David Lynch. Lynch launched a subscription-only website in 2002 on which he posted various experimental projects. The shorts films featured are ' The Darkened Room', which stars Etsuko Shikata, Jordan Ladd & Cerina Vincent, ' Boat', which stars Lynch himself, ' Lamp', which shows Lynch sculpting a lamp st&, ' Out Yonder
- Neighbor Boy', which stars Lynch & his son Austin & ' Industrial Soundscape' & ' Bug Crawls' in which the director uses sound & animation. These films have previously only been available via the website. In addition to the films, Lynch also answers questions from some of the website's subscribers.

Explores the consequences for language acquisition, language evolution, & linguistic theory of taking the underlying architecture of the language faculty to be that of a complex adaptive dynamical system. It contains the first results of a complex model of language acquisition to measure how far language input is reflected in language output. ...

Covers the basic concepts of the dynamics of epidemic disease, presenting various kinds of models as well as typical research methods & results. This book highlights the process & key steps in epidemiological modeling & prediction, using transmission models of HIV/AIDS, SARS, & tuberculosis as application examples. ...

Develops a systematic theory for the hidden symmetry generators, which are simultaneously the odd generators of superalgebra in relativistic quantum mechanics (Dirac's equation). This book describes the so-called hidden symmetry of the Kepler problem in classical & quantum mechanics (non-relativistic & relativistic). ...

At the end of the nineteenth century Lyapunov & Poincare developed the so called qualitative theory of differential equations & introduced geometric- topological considerations which have led to the concept of dynamical systems. This book investigates uncontrolled & controlled time-continuous & time-discrete systems. ...

Presents a survey of the field of dynamical systems & its significance for research in complex systems & other fields, based on an analysis of specific examples. This book explains the fundamental underlying mathematical concepts, with a focus on invariants of dynamical systems, including a systematic treatment of Morse-Conley theory. ...

Dynamical Systems & Chaos provides an overview of the field that bridges the gap between abstract & applied areas of study. Exercises included at the end of each chapter illustrate the concepts discussed, & are appropriate for undergraduate & graduate courses, alike. ...
