Overview: Makes an original contribution to ghost story scholarship by arguing for an intersectional approach to women’s supernatural short fiction of the late-Victorian period and early twentieth century.ArgueThis book explores women’s short supernatural fiction between the emergence of first wave feminism and the post-suffrage period, arguing that while literary ghosts enabled an interrogation of women’s changing circumstances, ghosts could have both subversive and conservative implications. Haunted house narratives by Charlotte Riddell and Margaret Oliphant become troubled by uncanny remind

Overview: Neuropsychology has presented a particularly formidable array of devel­ opments during recent years. The number of methods, theoretical ap­ proaches, and publications has been steadily increasing, permitting a step-by-step approach to a deeper understanding of the tremendously complex relationships existing between brain and behavior. This volume was planned as a collection of papers that, in one way or another, present new research and clinical perspectives or interpretations about brain-behavior relationships. Some chapters present new research in specific topics, others summarize

Overview: Eine neue Sicht auf die Exilliteratur.Ein Beitrag zur Theorie und zu Schreibstrategien des Komischen.Studien zu Alfred Döblin, Veza Canetti und Albert Vigoleis ThelenDie Studie unternimmt am Beispiel des deutschsprachigen Exilromans zur Zeit des ‚Dritten Reichs‘ den Versuch, die Ästhetik des Komischen als Teil einer modernen Exilpoetik zu etablieren. Sie berücksichtigt dabei das gesamte Spektrum komischer Schreibformen von der Satire über den Humor bis hin zum Grotesken, zum Pikaresken und zum Witz. In drei historisch-systematischen Grundlagenkapiteln und drei Fallstudien zu Alfred D

Overview: The aim of this book is to provide researchers in economics, finance, and statistics with an up-to-date introduction to applying Bayesian techniques to empirical studies. It covers the full range of the new numerical techniques which have been developed over the last thirty years, notably: Monte Carlo sampling, antithetic replication, importance sampling, and Gibbs sampling. The author covers both advances in theory and modern approaches to numerical and applied problems. The book includes applications drawn from a variety of different fields within economics and also provides a quic

The reader will also learn how the laws of mechanics may help to understand the conditions of the static and dynamic equilibrium of one of the marvels of nature: the human body. .The mathematical language used in physics has always been pointed out as responsible for student

Overview: Silicon chemistry was initiated in 1823 by Berzelius who prepared elemental silicon. In many ways silicon was considered a typical opposite of carbon, although the two elements are closely related as to their electronic structure, both having four valence electrons. The properties of their compounds are, however, extreme­ ly different. Both form extended structures, but in different ways - carbon by covalent carbon-carbon bonds; silicon by polar silicon- -oxygen-silicon bonds. The complex carbon compounds are integral parts of all living matter, plants and animals. The corresponding

Overview: Contributions to one of the most controversial topics of modern societies.The world seems ever smaller and ever quicker: environmental, public health, industrial and cultural processes operate ever more on a global, rather than a local scale. Does this process, sometimes known as globalisation, draw us closer together, or drive us further apart, from a moral point of view? In recent years, bioethics has addressed many of the issues that arise in the context of globalisation: solidarity, conflict, and autonomy; human rights, liberty and toleration; the political and economic context o

Overview: Presents newly discovered phenomena of ferromagnetism order and superconductivity.Covers the application potential of functionalized graphite.Shows various similar properties of graphite and grapheneThis book summarizes the basic physics of graphite and newly discovered phenomena in this material. The book contains the knowledge needed to understand novel properties of functionalized graphite demonstrating the occurrence of remarkable phenomena in disordered graphite and graphite-based heterostructures. It also discusses applications of thin graphitic samples in future electronics. G

Overview: Explores the role of the European Free Trade Association in shaping institutional architecture in post-war Europe.Draws on evidence from a broad range of European archives including those in Austria, .This book traces the emergence of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) from 1955 to 1963 amid the broader reshaping of the institutional architecture of post-war Europe. It considers the ill-fated Free Trade Area (FTA) proposal, the subsequent creation of EFTA, and the resulting division of Western Europe into two distinct trading blocs. At its core, the book provides an internati

Overview: Numerous papers have been published on the animal and algal communities of fresh-water and marine biotopes, and their relation to the physical and chemical factors of their environment. Brackish-water biotopes have been studied much less intensely, presumably due to their limited distribution and to the complexity of their bioco­ enoses, composed of fresh-water, brackish-water and marine organisms. The reduced size of the species present forms a supplementary difficulty, which is especially pronounced in the algal communities, a major part of which are composed of nanno-phytoplankter
