Overview: This book examines a pivotal moment in the history of science and women’s place in it. Meredith Ray offers the first in-depth study and complete English translation of the fascinating correspondence between Margherita Sarrocchi (1560-1617), a natural philosopher and author of the epic poem, .Scanderbeide .(1623), and famed astronomer, Galileo Galilei. Their correspondence, undertaken soon after the publication of Galileo’s .Sidereus Nuncius., reveals how Sarrocchi approached Galileo for his help revising her epic poem, offering, in return, her endorsement of his recent telescopic dis

Overview: Fosters a truly interdisciplinary dialogue about trust and confidence.Advances both theoretical and methodological perspectives on trust.Includes practical advice on how best to conduct empirical reseThis volume explores the various ways in which trust is thought about and studied in contemporary society. In doing so, it aims to advance both theoretical and methodological perspectives on trust. Trust is an important topic in this series because it raises issues of both motivation and emotion. Specifically, notions of trust and fairness motivate individuals to behave in a manner they

Overview: .Im Zuge der Urbanisierung wird die Stadtbevölkerung bis 2050 weltweit um 2,5 Milliarden Menschen zunehmen.

Overview: The use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems always involves the introduction of mathematical concepts. It is important, therefore, for any systems designer to have a good grasp of the mathematical bases used in CAD. The choice of mathematical models in a system also has an effect on the overall quality, although this effect may not always be visible to the final user. Depending on whether Bezier or B-spline functions are used for curves and surfaces, for example, the final user even if not a com­ puter scientist will notice a difference. If, for example, one of the control points

Overview: Since the post-Enlightenment, Jews have fragmented into a variety of sub-groups, each with their own religious ideology. This book provides a description as well as a critique of these various Jewish religious groups and offers an alternative model of Judaism based on an assessment of the nature of contemporary Jewish life. As will be seen, modern Jews are deeply divided on a wide variety of issues. Given this situation, no uniform pattern of Jewish existence can be imposed from above, nor is it likely to emerge from within the body of Israel. What is required instead is a philosophy

Overview: The study of crystal structures has had an ever increasing impact on many fields of science such as physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, pharmacy, metallurgy, mineralogy and geology. Particularly, with the advent of direct methods of structure determination, the data on crystal structures are accumulating at an unbelievable pace and it becomes more and more difficult to oversee this wealth of data. A crude rationalization of the structures of organic compounds and the atom coordinations can be made with the well-known Kekule model, however, no such generally appl

Overview: Over the last decades, the study of surfactants (detergents, for example) has been profoundly changed by ideas and techniques from physics, chemistry, and materials science. Among these are: self assembly; critical phenomena, scaling, and renormalization; high-resolution scattering, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This book represents the first systematic account of these new developments, providing both a general introduction to the subject as well as a review of recent developments. The book will be a very useful tool for the biophysist, biochemist or physical chemist working

Overview: Mentoring ist in der betrieblichen Personalentwicklung ebenso wie in der Gleichstellungspolitik ein viel propagierter Begriff. Die damit verbundenen Erwartungen und Praktiken sind jedoch inhaltlich diffus und hinsichtlich ihrer geschlechter- und personalpolitischen Effekte unklar. Manuela Kaiser-Belz geht im Kontext der Geschlechterforschung der Frage nach, ob Frauen durch gleichstellungspolitische Maßnahmen dazu befähigt werden, in bislang männerdominierten beruflichen Feldern ‘mitzuspielen‘, oder ob diese Maßnahmen nicht ihrerseits dazu beitragen, Regeln und Muster zu stabilisieren
