Overview: When I became President of International Astronomical Union Commission 44 for the triennial period 1985-1988, several members of the Organizing Committee and I agreed that it would be a good idea for our Commission to host a conference on observatories in space in view of their increasingly important role in astronomi cal research. IAU Colloquium Number 123 "Observatories in Earth Orbit and Beyond" is the first colloquium sponsored by IAU Com mission 44 on Astronomy from Space, although Commission 44 has co-sponsored numerous colloquia and symposia in the past. The past two decades h

Overview: Discusses how Buddhism contributes to "remarkable relational resilience".Explores the psycho-spiritual experiences of African-American Buddhist lesbians.Contributes to several disciplines, including r.This book establishes how Buddhism in the Insight Meditation tradition supports “remarkable relational resilience” for women who are of African descent and same-sex loving, yet living in a society that often invalidates women, African-Americans, LGBTQ people, and non-Christians. Pamela Ayo Yetunde explores the psycho-sexual experiences of African-American Buddhist lesbians, and shows th

Overview: The only research oriented volume on Neurath’s economics in context.Otto Neurath (1882-1945) was a highly unorthodox thinker both in philosophy and economics. He proposed a radically expanded scope of economic analysis that would facilitate a comparative and systematic study of the impact of a great variety of economic and political measures on a population’s well-being. Neurath regarded the controversial and widely misunderstood concept of calculation in kind as an indispensable instrument for anyone (economist or politician) who sought to analyze economic relationships from a wider

Overview: Examines organized crime in many different trades, from diamond dealing, to drug smuggling, to car theft.Combines historical data with recent research to analyze current trends in organized crime.ReseDina Siegel and Hans Nelen The term ‘global organized crime’ has been in use in criminology since the mid 1990s. Even more general and abstract than its daughter-terms (transnational or cross-border organized crime), ‘global organized crime’ seems to embrace the activities of criminal groups and networks all around the planet, leaving no geographical space untouched. The term appears to

Overview: Reveals the beauty of character theory of finite groups.Familiarizes readers with the language of categories.Offers readers broader coverage than books that focus almost exclusively on groups.Includes.This book explores the classical and beautiful character theory of finite groups. It does it by using some rudiments of the language of categories. Originally emerging from two courses offered at Peking University (PKU), primarily for third-year students, it is now better suited for graduate courses, and provides broader coverage than books that focus almost exclusively on groups..The b

Overview: "Optimal Control" reports on new theoretical and practical advances essential for analysing and synthesizing optimal controls of dynamical systems governed by partial and ordinary differential equations. New necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality are given. Recent advances in numerical methods are discussed. These have been achieved through new techniques for solving large-sized nonlinear programs with sparse Hessians, and through a combination of direct and indirect methods for solving the multipoint boundary value problem. The book also focuses on the construction of fe

Overview: Inspires readers to consider secession in a multi-dimensional way.Presents an unconventional understanding of international law, which focuses not only on the current legal system but also on improvinThis book provides essential legal information on state secession in an innovative manner: unlike conventional approaches, which invariably focus on whether there is a right to secession, here the discussion centers on how secessionist conflicts can be effectively resolved. To that end, the book not only reveals the inadequacy of the current international legal framework, but also carefu

Overview: Contributions by truly leading people in the field.Interdisciplinary content and approachProgress in a wide range of ocean research and applications depends upon the prompt and dependable availability of ocean information products. The field of physical oceanography has matured to a point where it is now conceivable to combine numerical models and observations via data assimilation in order to provide ocean prediction products on various spatial and time scales. As a result, many nations have begun large-scale efforts to provide routine products to the oceanographic community. The Gl

Overview: An analytical account of the experiences of American soldiers in World War 1 drawing on a wide range of sources in France and the United States. Since American forces did not appear on the Western Front in substantial numbers until the summer of 1918, their experiences of the war were short and less devastating than those of their Allied comrades. Thus surviving American troops emerged from the experience in a rather more upbeat mood about the war than the Allies. This is a fascinating and ground-breaking work as few other military historians have attempted to deal with the US army o

Overview: Hoe je je kind opvoedt en of je een positieve sfeer weet te creëren, hangt niet alleen af van wat je doet, maar vooral van hoe je denkt. In Opvoeden met gezond verstand laat de bekende psycholoog Jan Verhulst zien, hoe je met een andere manier van denken de opvoeding heel wat lichter en effectiever kan maken. Gedachten heb je niet alleen bewust, maar ook onbewust. Onderzoek je de gedachten die jouw handelen bij het opvoeden beinvloeden, dan blijkt dat deze bij veel mensen niet zo reëel zijn. Zo kun je bijvoorbeeld diep van binnen denken dat je kind altijd naar je moet luisteren, of d
