Overview: Is a manual of dialectical systems thinking.Presents foundations of practicing dialectics.Explores dialectical thinking as extension of logical thinking.This three-volume set introduces the practice of advanced, ‘dialectical’ systems-level problem solving in both the social and natural sciences. In social science, it opens new vistas regarding organizational, strategy, and work design. In the natural sciences, it provides heretofore missing conceptions of physical systems in peril due to the climate crisis. In addition, the author draws conclusions that are important for advancing ge

Overview: .Density functional theory (DFT) is by now a well-established method for tackling the quantum mechanics of many-body systems. Originally applied to compute properties of atoms and simple molecules, DFT has quickly become a work horse for more complex applications in the chemical and materials sciences. The present set of lectures, spanning the whole range from basic principles to relativistic and time-dependent extensions of the theory, is the ideal introduction for graduate students or nonspecialist researchers wishing to familiarize themselves with both the basic and most advanced

Overview: This introduction to Anthony Powell begins by finding starting-points for his fiction in his life and social background. His five novels of the 1930s are discussed as early products of the imagination which was to be fully developed in the great novel-sequence A Dance to the Music of Time. Three chapters are given to the nature and achievement of the sequence, examining passages in close detail, under the headings ‘First Person‘, ‘Myth‘ and ‘Voices‘. The final chapter discusses the two novels of the 1980s, and offers some conclusions on Powell as an exponent and analyst of the art of

Overview: In the ten years since the scientific rationale for the design,synthesis and application of inorganic and organometallic polymers(IOPs) was first conceptualised, we have witnessed the first tentativeexploration of IOPs as precursors to new materials, with effortsfocusing on the design and synthesis of novel ceramic precursors.Developing expertise led to precursor studies combined with thecharacterisation of the transformation processes that occur when IOPsare converted to ceramic materials. Now at maturity, the sciencepresented in this volume reveals the polymer precursor approach to

Overview: Dyslexia was first described by two English physicians, Kerr and Morgan, in 1896. Interestingly, the structural cortical hypothesis initially proposed by Morgan is still held in wide esteem, albeit in slightly modified forms. Despite 80 years of escalating research efforts and mounds of correspond­ ing statistics, there continues to exist a perplexing diagnostic-therapeutic medical void and riddle in which dyslexics can neither be scientifically distinguished from other slow learners nor medically treated; and patho­ gnomonic clinical signs remain as elusive as a suitable neurophysio
