Overview: This book analyses Malraux‘s writing from his journalism in Indochina to his novels, art studies and (anti)memorialist essays. Cutting through the established dual biographical image of Malraux as a committed leftwinger and revolutionary novelist turned unconditional Gaullist and diehard anti-Communist at the Liberation, it makes a balanced assessment of Malraux as a non-ideological if elitist artist who shaped his public role as much as he shaped the existence of his heroes both novelistic and real.978-1-349-39629-0978-0-230-39005-8

Overview: Technological, economic, and regulatory changes are some of thedriving forces in the modern world of finance. For instance, financialmarkets now trade twenty-four hours a day and securities areincreasingly being traded via real-time computer-based systems incontrast to trading floor-based systems. Equally important, newsecurity forms and pricing models are coming into existence inresponse to changes in domestic and international regulatory action.Accounting and risk management systems now enable financial andinvestment firms to manage risk more efficiently while meetingregulatory con

Overview: With the concept of ‘Atomic Anxiety‘, this book offers a novel perspective on one of the most important and longstanding puzzles of international politics: the non-use of U.S. nuclear weapons. By focusing on the fear surrounding nuclear weapons, it explains why nuclear deterrence and the nuclear taboo are working at cross purposes in practice.978-1-137-53374-6

Overview: Der Inhalt dieses Buches entspricht in seinem Umfang ungefähr einer einsemestrigen Einftihrungsvorlesung in die Atomphysik. Vorausgesetzt werden einige Kenntnisse aus der Mechanik und Elektrodynamik sowie Grundkenntnisse in Vektor- und Differential­ rechnung. Vertrautheit mit der Quantenmechanik wird nicht unbedingt vorausgesetzt. Natürlich ist sie nützlich, und der Leser wird dann einiges überschlagen können. Aber der vor­ liegende Text ist vor allem auch flir Studenten gedacht, die etwa gleichzeitig mit dem Studium der Atomphysik und der Quantenmechanik beginnen, oder die sich auf

Overview: This volume contains the papers presented at ESA 2009: The 17th Annual - ropean Symposium on Algorithms, September 7–9, 2009. ESA has been held annually since 1993, and seeks to cover both theoretical and engineering aspects of algorithms. The authors were asked to classify their paper under one or more categories as described in Fig. 1. Since 2001, ESA has been the core of the larger ALGO conference, which typically includes several satellite conferences. ALGO 2009 was held at the IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The ?ve members of the ALGO 2009 - ganizing Committee were chaire

Overview: Briefly, we review the basic elements of computability theory and prob­ ability theory that are required. Finally, in order to place the subject in the appropriate historical and conceptual context we trace the main roots of Kolmogorov complexity. This way the stage is set for Chapters 2 and 3, where we introduce the notion of optimal effective descriptions of objects. The length of such a description (or the number of bits of information in it) is its Kolmogorov complexity. We treat all aspects of the elementary mathematical theory of Kolmogorov complexity. This body of knowledge ma

Overview: Presents an elementary introduction that requires only few pre-requisites.Introduces a host of different techniques such as representation theory, adeles and ideles, and the methods of Tate‘s thesis.CAutomorphic forms are an important complex analytic tool in number theory and modern arithmetic geometry. They played for example a vital role in Andrew Wiles‘s proof of Fermat‘s Last Theorem. This text provides a concise introduction to the world of automorphic forms using two approaches: the classic elementary theory and the modern point of view of adeles and representation theory. The

Overview: This is a book about the development of action and skill in the first years of life. But it differs in an important way from most past treatments of the subject. The present volume explores how the development of ac­ tion is related to the contexts, especially the social ones, in which actions function. In past work, little attention has focused on this relationship. The prevailing view has been that infants develop skills on their own, independent of contributions from other individuals or the surrounding culture. The present volume is a challenge to that view. It is based on the pr

Overview: This essay attempts to demonstrate the significance of the principle of activity in the philosophy of Karl Marx. The principle of activity in Marx has both a general and a specific meaning. In general the princi­ pIe refers to the activist element in Marxian practice motivating both Marx and his contemporary devotees. The specific facet of the principle relates to Marx‘s philosophy - the principle of activity being that con­ cept which underlies the entire system. Activity for Marx is both a philosophie concept and an element of human experience demanded by his system. Marx, that is,
