Overview: By 1914 France had amassed over ten million square kilometres, and 60 million people including the colonies of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, the colony in S.E. Asia known as Indochina and a vast block of West Africa. This study gives the undergraduate student a factual geographical and historical background to the establishment of the early twentieth century French colonial empire. The author describes in detail the physical struggles between the colonies and their rules and the subsequent demise of the Empire.

Overview: A light hearted, yet profound examination of the chemistry and physics in the nineteenth century.Revealing tour of nineteenth century debates concerning chemical theory.Richly annoted and equipped witHermann Kopp (1817–1892) is best remembered today as a historian of chemistry, but during his lifetime he was one of the most eminent chemists of his day, and one of the earliest pioneers of physical chemistry.  Late in his career he wrote an endearing fantasy about personified molecules.  Published in 1882, Aus der Molecular-Welt (From the Molecular World) portrayed the intimate details

Overview: Tells the almost forgotten story of the first manned U. S. spaceflight, Freedom 7, flown by Cdr. Alan Shepard, Jr., for NASA and the United States.Based on exclusive interviews with Shepard and severa.Inevitably, there are times in a nation’s history when its hopes, fears and confidence in its own destiny appear to hinge on the fate of a single person. One of these pivotal moments occurred on the early morning of May 5, 1961, when a 37-year-old test pilot squeezed himself into the confines of the tiny .Mercury. spacecraft that he had named .Freedom 7.. On that historic day, U.S. Navy C

Overview: A unique, comprehensive guide to preservation and restoration options for patients with challenging existing medical conditions.Discusses infertility options for patients with heriditary cancer syndro.This unique book is a comprehensive guide for healthcare providers who treat patients with complex medical conditions but lack the resources to address fertility and sexuality concerns and help patients navigate their fertility decision-making process. It presents up-to-date information concerning fertility preservation and restoration for patients with hereditary cancer syndromes, diso

Overview: Presents the essential work of geographer and historical ecologist William M. Denevan.Offers insights from contemporary scholars on the impacts of Prof. Denevan‘s work in modern contexts.Discusses envThis volume aims to present the essential work of geographer and historical ecologist William M. Denevan to explain the impact and influence his thinking had on the conceptual advancement not only in his own discipline, but in a range of related disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, and environmental history. The book is organized around eight themes, demonstrating Denevan’s ear

Overview: Unmittelbar nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg waren die Freikorps ein überlebenswichtiges Werkzeug des schwachen, von innen wie außen existentiell bedrohten deutschen Staates. Nur widerwillig angefasst, sollte dieses Werkzeug nach Erledigung der anstehenden Aufgaben schnell wieder verschwinden. Die Soldaten dieser in erster Linie zur Bekämpfung von bewaffneten Aufständen gedachten Verbände polarisierten bereits durch ihre Existenz; ihre öffentliche Wahrnehmung war negativ vorgeprägt, bevor sie überhaupt zum Einsatz gelangten. Nachfolgende, eindimensionale Darstellungen setzten sich schließli

Overview: Over the past few decades we have learned a great deal about the behavior of such materials as liquid crystals, emulsions and colloids, polymers, and complex molecules. These materials, called "soft matter" ("matière fragile" in French), have neither the rigid structure and crystalline symmetry of a solid nor the uniformity and disorder of a fluid or a gas. They have unusual and fascinating properties: some change their viscosity at our beck and call; others form layers of two-dimensional liquids; some are polarized, their molecules all oriented in the same direction and turning in u

Overview: The book contains and combines different methods of research-economics and economic history, aspects of sociology and political science.Includes supplementary material: This book deals with the evolution of monetary systems. Firstly, it argues that money forms a constitutional element in any private-ownership economy, estab­ lishing a nominal-standard order for the market behaviour of individual agents. The market economy is basically a payment society where money structures and values economic activities, and performs itself as a market asset. The use of re­ sources and the producti

Overview: The finite element method (FEM) has been understood, at least in principle, for more than 50 years. The integral formulation on which it is based has been known for a longer time (thanks to the work of Galerkin, Ritz, Courant and Hilbert,1.4 to mention the most important). However, the method could not be applied in a practical way since it involved the solution of a large number of linear or non-linear algebraic equations. Today it is quite common, with the aid of computers, to solve non-linear algebraic problems of several thousand equations. The necessary numerical methods and pro

Overview: This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO Advanced study Institute "Fundamental Processes of Atomic Dynamics" held in Maratea. Italy from September 20th to October 2nd 1987. The institute and this volume were conceived as a natural complement to previous institutes held in Maratea (1982) and in Santa Flavia (1984. ) whose proceedings are to be found in NATO ASI Series B vol. 103 and 134 respectively. The subject matter of these institutes was the study of the funda­ mental processes occurring in the interactions of atoms with photons. electrons and heavy-ions. The aim h

Overview: The Advanced Study Institute on Field Theoretical Methods in Particle Physics was held at the Universitat Kaiserslautern in Kaiserslautern, Germany, from August 13 to August 24, 1979. Twenty invited lectures and seminar-speakers and 100 other participants attended this Institute. The contributions of most of the lecturers and seminar-speakers are contained in this volume. The revival of field theory in elementary particle physics that started about ten years ago has influenced all branches of elementary particle physics from fundamental research to pure phenomenology. The selection o

Overview: A strong grounding in both marketing and finance; it will be the equivalent of capital budgeting texts in finance but with a focus on marketing.Examples, templates, and other tools to facilitate the uThis book is about linking marketing activities and outcomes to the financial performance of the organization. The theme of the book is that the marketing function must justify its activities and use of resources in terms of its financial contributions to the firm. More specifically, the book focuses on how marketing activities generate cash flow, growth, and other financial benefits for

The collection of chapters discusses the two major pathways through which ferroptosis can occur: the extrinsic or transporter-dependent pathway and the intrinsic or enzyme-regulated pathway..Readers will gain an understanding of the multiple levels, on which this special cel

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .In the first volume, .Fundamental Concepts in Biophysics., the authors lay down a foundation for biophysics study. Rajiv Singh opens the book by pointing to the central importance of “Mathematical Methods in Biophysics”. William Fink follows with a discussion on “Quantum Mechanics Basic to Biophysical Methods”. Together, these two chapters establish some of the principles of mathematical physics underlying many biophysics techniques. Because computer modeling forms an intricate part of biophysics research, Subhadip Raychaudhuri and colleagues introdu
