Overview: `A most illuminating study.‘ - John Bayley Six Contemporary Dramatists explores, in a straightforward manner, the central concerns of six of the most important contemporary dramatists. It demonstrates how the work of Alan Bennett, Dennis Potter, Simon Gray, Howard Brenton, David Hare and Alan Ayckbourn is essentially moral, and relates their aspirations to the British romantic tradition of the last century. At the same time, Duncan Wu explores how each writer has responded to the changes that took place in personal and public ethics during the 1980s as a result of Thatcherism. He als

Overview: Offers an overview of three related subjects (stability, vibration and dynamic stability), which are usually taught separately in university courses.Discusses key equations and their derivation for st.This book offers an integrated introduction to the topic of stability and vibration. Strikingly, it describes stability as a function of? boundary conditions and eigenfrequency as a function of both boundary conditions and column force. Based on a post graduate course held by the author at the University of Southern Denmark, it reports on fundamental formulas and makes uses of graphical

Overview: Highlights new methods and parametric algorithms for the digital coherent processing of signals in airborne radar systems located on air vehicles.Discusses the implementation of algorithms on the basi.This book highlights new methods and parametric algorithms for the digital coherent processing of signals in airborne radar systems located on air vehicles. Using the autoregressive (AR) model, it delivers more accurate danger assessments for flight in wind shear and atmospheric turbulence, while also suggesting how they could be implemented. Given its scope, the book is intended for te

Overview: Expanded lecture notes originating from a summer school at the CRM Barcelona.Serves as an introduction to symplectic and contact geometry for graduate students.Explores the underlying (symplectic) geo.Among all the Hamiltonian systems, the?.integrable. ones have special geometric properties; in particular, their solutions are very regular and quasi-periodic. The quasi-periodicity of the solutions of an integrable system is a result of the fact that the system is invariant under a (semi-global) torus action. It is thus natural to investigate the symplectic manifolds that can be endowe

Overview: Moderne Gesellschaften müssen wissen, wo sie stehen und wohin sie gehen. Zentrale Schlüsselbegriffe dafür sind Sozialstruktur und sozialer Wandel, w?hrend sich Sozialberichterstattung und gesellschaftliche Dauerbeobachtung als unverzichtbare methodische Instrumente einer wirksamen sozialwissenschaftlichen Infrastruktur entwickelt haben. Die Beitr?ge dieses Buches befassen sich mit der Analyse gesellschaftlicher Strukturen, Entwicklungstendenzen und Herausforderungen sowie den dafür erforderlichen methodischen und institutionellen Voraussetzungen.978-3-322-95036-9978-3-322-95035-2

Overview: Gegenüber der nationalen Budgetierung stellen sich der internationalen Werbebudgetierung wesentliche neue Aufgaben. Wichtige Aspekte betreffen die Organisation des international t?tigen Unternehmens, die Berücksichtigung kultureller, wirtschaftlicher und rechtlicher l?nderspezifischer Besonderheiten, die Anzahl der L?nder, in denen das Unternehmen aktiv werden soll, und die werbliche Unterstützung des Eintritts in neue L?nderm?rkte. ..Unter bisher in der Literatur nicht g?ngigen Perspektiven analysiert Adrienne Cansier die verschiedenen internationalen Problembereiche modelltheoretis

Overview: Focuses on phenomenal conservatism, one of the most influential and promising conceptions of epistemic justification.Sheds new light on phenomenal conservatism by rejecting apparently consolidated obj.This book examines phenomenal conservatism, one of the most influential and promising internalist conceptions of non-inferential justification debated in current epistemology and philosophy of mind. It also explores the significance of the findings of this examination for the general debate on epistemic justification.?.According to phenomenal conservatism, non-inferential justification

Overview: Fills a gap in Scandinavian history by focusing on hitherto understudied social movements in Sweden.Nuances the idea of a conflict-free Swedish model and the image of a decade primarily containing rig.This open access book discusses the emergence and development, and in some cases also the disappearance, of social movements and activism in Sweden during the 1980s. Its aim is to nuance and problematize the image of the 1980s as unilaterally dominated by right-wing politics and neoliberalism, as well as the idea of a conflict-free Scandinavian model. The 1980s have often been described

Overview: Neue Perspektiven auf Trainingsmethoden an der Hochschule.Includes supplementary material: Wenn man den Titel dieses Handbuchs liest, m?chte man aufatmen: ?Endlich geht hier mal was voran! Das hat ja auch lange auf sich warten lassen!“ Tats?chlich setzt sich seit 20 Jahren in unserer Gesellschaft immer st?rker die Erkenntnis durch, dass ?Interkulturelle Kompetenz“ eine zentrale Schlüsselquali- kation in nahezu all den T?tigkeitsfeldern darstellt, in denen Führungsaufgaben zu übernehmen sind. Das betrifft natürlich vorrangig die Wirtschaft und die expo- orientierten Unternehmen, die i

Overview: Erm?glicht das grunds?tzliche Verst?ndnis für die Str?mungsmechanik - mit illustrierenden BeispielenDieses Lehrbuch soll ein grundlegendes Verst?ndnis für str?mungsmechanische Fragestellungen zu vermitteln. Dabei wird besonderer Wert auf den physikalischen Hintergrund der behandelten Fragen und auf das methodische Vorgehen bei ihrer Beantwortung gelegt. Insbesondere wird von Anfang an die Bedeutung von Modellvorstellungen betont, mit deren Hilfe die L?sung str?mungsmechanischer Probleme überhaupt erst m?glich wird.?.Der Aufbau des Buches folgt einer induktiven Vorgehensweise, d.h. di

Overview: This absorbing study of early 20th Century American Culture interprets the anarchic absurdity of slapstick movies as a form of collective anxiety dream, their fantastical images and illogical gags expressing the unconscious wishes and fears of the modern age, in a way that foreshadows the concerns of our own celebrity-obsessed consumer culture.978-1-349-43747-4978-1-137-02025-3

Overview: Everyday life bears a multitude of location problems and locational de- sions. These may be as simple as how best to place a pencil on a desk without having to reach too far and still keeping the work space clear, up to the question of where to place the next out of hundreds of thousands of transistors on a microchip. Some of these questions have easy answers, while others are so complex that not even satisfactory solutions are ava- able, never mind asking for optimized placement. The scales of problems reach from microchip design up to global trade and may demand consid- ation of on
