Environment, Power, and Society for the Twenty-First Century : The Hierarchy of Energy
Howard T. Odum possessed one of the most innovative minds of the twentieth century.He pioneered the fields of ecological engineering, ecological economics, and environmental accounting, working throughout his life to better understand the interrelationships of energy, environment, and society and their importance to the well-being of humanity and the planet. This volume is a major modernization of Odum's classic work on the significance of power and its role in society, bringing his approach and insight to a whole new generation of students and scholars.For this edition Odum refines his original theories and introduces two new measures: emergy and transformity.These concepts can be used to evaluate and compare systems and their transformation and use of resources by accounting for all the energies and materials that flow in and out and expressing them in equivalent ability to do work.Natural energies such as solar radiation and the cycling of water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are diagrammed in terms of energy and emergy flow.Through this method Odum reveals the similarities between human economic and social systems and the ecosystems of the natural world. In the process, we discover that our survival and prosperity are regulated as much by the laws of energetics as are systems of the physical and chemical world.

Forms : Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network
Forms offers a powerful new answer to one of the most pressing problems facing literary, critical, and cultural studies today--how to connect form to political, social, and historical context.Caroline Levine argues that forms organize not only works of art but also political life--and our attempts to know both art and politics.Inescapable and frequently troubling, forms shape every aspect of our experience.Yet, forms don't impose their order in any simple way.Multiple shapes, patterns, and arrangements, overlapping and colliding, generate complex and unpredictable social landscapes that challenge and unsettle conventional analytic models in literary and cultural studies. Borrowing the concept of "affordances" from design theory, this book investigates the specific ways that four major forms--wholes, rhythms, hierarchies, and networks--have structured culture, politics, and scholarly knowledge across periods, and it proposes exciting new ways of linking formalism to historicism and literature to politics. Levine rereads both formalist and antiformalist theorists, including Cleanth Brooks, Michel Foucault, Jacques Ranciere, Mary Poovey, and Judith Butler, and she offers engaging accounts of a wide range of objects, from medieval convents and modern theme parks to Sophocles's Antigone and the television series The Wire.The result is a radically new way of thinking about form for the next generation and essential reading for scholars and students across the humanities who must wrestle with the problem of form and context.

What is a hierarchy?
A hierarchy is a system or organization in which people or groups are ranked according to their status, authority, or importance. It typically involves a structure with levels of power or control, with higher levels having more authority and influence than lower levels. Hierarchies can be found in various settings, such as in government, businesses, and social groups, and they help to establish order and direction within an organization.

What is the arithmetic hierarchy?
The arithmetic hierarchy is a classification system used in mathematical logic to categorize sets of natural numbers based on the complexity of their definitions. It consists of an infinite sequence of levels, with each level representing a different degree of complexity. At the lowest level are the arithmetic sets, which can be defined using basic arithmetic operations and quantifiers. As we move up the hierarchy, sets become increasingly complex and may require more powerful tools such as unbounded quantifiers or infinite iterations of quantifiers.

What should a hierarchy achieve?
A hierarchy should achieve clear communication and decision-making processes, efficient delegation of tasks and responsibilities, and a sense of order and structure within an organization. It should also facilitate the coordination of different levels of the organization and provide a framework for accountability and performance management. Ultimately, a hierarchy should enable the organization to achieve its goals and objectives by ensuring that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities and how they fit into the overall structure.

What is the difference between steep hierarchy and flat hierarchy? Please provide a simple explanation.
A steep hierarchy is a traditional organizational structure with multiple layers of management and clear lines of authority. This means there are many levels of supervisors and managers between the top executives and the front-line employees. On the other hand, a flat hierarchy has fewer levels of management and promotes a more collaborative and open communication environment. In a flat hierarchy, decision-making is decentralized, and employees have more autonomy and responsibility.

Understanding the Analytic Hierarchy Process
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a critical guide to AHP.In this book, the AHP method is considered primarily as a mathematical technique supporting the decision-making process.This method provides a convenient and versatile framework for modelling multi-criteria decision problems, evaluating alternatives and deriving final priorities.Rather than imposing a correct decision, AHP allows the user to create a ranking of alternatives, then choose the one which is the best (or among the best).At the core of AHP is a pairwise comparisons (PC) method.This is an old technique known in various forms since at least the Middle Ages.

Discovering Biblical Equality : Complementarity Without Hierarchy
Among Christians, discussions continue about the roles of men and women in the home, the church and society at large.Although some of these debates generate more heat than light, the issue directly affects every member of the Christian community.Our view of the Bible's teaching on these matters shapes the life and ministry of our churches in significant ways.Further reflection and dialogue are required. In this volume twenty-three evangelical scholars, firmly committed to the authority of Scripture, explore the whole range of issues relating to gender relations.They offer historical, biblical, theological, hermeneutical and practical perspectives to dispel many of the myths surrounding biblical equality, and to promote discussion.Their sound, reasoned case affirms the complementarity of the sexes without requiring a hierarchy of roles.

Global Race War : International Politics and Racial Hierarchy
International Relations theory assumes that the struggle for power is not only ahistorical but that international politics is necessarily the realm of a perpetual struggle for power between states.However, by looking beyond the state, the study of global politics may itself reveal the importance of alternative imaginaries just as historically salient as that of the state system.In particular, this book argues that a specific racial imaginary has, over the past two centuries, cut across politically defined state boundaries to legitimate practices of genocidal violence against so-called "enemy races."In Global Race War, Alexander D.Barder shows how the very idea of global order was based on racial hierarchy and difference.Barder traces the emergence of this global racial hierarchy from the early 19th century to the present to explain how a historical racial global order unraveled over the first half of the 20th century, continued during the Cold War, and reemerged during the Global War on Terror.As Barder shows, imperial, racial, and geopolitical orders intersected over time in ways that violently tore apart the imperial and sovereign state system and continue to haunt politics today. Examining global politics in terms of race and racial violence reveals a different spatial topology across domestic and global politics.Moreover, global histories of racial hierarchy and violence have important implications for understanding the continued salience of race within Western polities.Global Race War revisits two centuries of international history to show the important consequences of a global racial imaginary that continues to reverberate across time and space.

How was the hierarchy back then?
Back then, the hierarchy was typically rigid and based on social status, wealth, and power. Those at the top of the hierarchy, such as monarchs, nobility, and clergy, held the most influence and authority. People were expected to show deference and respect to those above them in the hierarchy, while those at the bottom had limited rights and opportunities. The hierarchy was often reinforced through laws, customs, and social norms that maintained the status quo.

What is the hierarchy among rabbits?
Rabbits live in social groups called colonies, with a dominant hierarchy established within the group. The dominant rabbit, often the largest and strongest, will be at the top of the hierarchy and have priority access to resources such as food and mates. Subordinate rabbits will have to defer to the dominant rabbit and may be involved in displays of aggression or submission to establish their place in the hierarchy. This hierarchy helps maintain order within the group and ensures the most dominant individuals have the best chance of survival and reproduction.

Why is there a prison hierarchy?
Prison hierarchy exists due to the nature of human social dynamics and the need for order and control within the prison environment. Inmates often form hierarchies based on factors such as age, race, gang affiliation, and criminal history. This hierarchy helps establish a sense of power and control among the inmates, and can also provide a sense of protection and security for those at the top. Additionally, the prison staff may also inadvertently contribute to the hierarchy through their interactions and management of the inmate population.

What is the hierarchy of sects?
The hierarchy of sects refers to the classification of religious groups based on their level of authority and influence within a particular religious tradition. At the top of the hierarchy are the mainstream or orthodox sects, which are typically the largest and most widely recognized within a religion. Below them are the denominations or branches that have some differences in beliefs or practices but still maintain a significant level of acceptance within the broader religious community. At the bottom of the hierarchy are the smaller, more fringe sects that may hold beliefs or practices that are considered outside the mainstream and may be viewed as controversial or even heretical by the larger religious community.
