Overview: Extends policing research beyond the Global North.Develops research on police legitimacy internationally, by increasing society-level variation.Discuss the findings and implications for policy makersThis book offers an historical and contemporary analysis of policing and police-citizen relations in Nigeria, to understand why people co-operate (or don’t) with the police. It examines police legitimacy and the validity of procedural justice theory in a post-colonial African context where corruption, brutality and lack of accountability are not uncommon, to find more refined and alternat

Overview: The first book-length study of the underexplored relationship between public theatre and the enslaved population.The fullest account to date of the local, Creole theatre tradition.Foreign language quo.The French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) was home to one of the richest public theatre traditions of the colonial-era Caribbean.  This book examines the relationship between public theatre and the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue—something that is generally given short shrift owing to a perceived lack of documentation.  Here, a range of materials and methodologies are used to ex

Overview: This monograph discusses collision-induced electron emission from nearly free-electron metals by ion or electron impact. This subject is, as is well known, of acute importance in understanding plasma-wall interactions in thermonuclear reactors. It is also the basis for one of the most exciting technological developments of the last few years - scanning electron miscroscopy. Several electron excitation mechanisms of electrons in the target are considered: excitation of single conduction and core electrons, excitation by plasmon decay and by Auger processes. Transport of inner excited

Overview: Building on Wilson‘s renormalization group, the authors have developed a unified approach that not only reproduces known results but also yields new results. A systematic exposition of the contemporary theory of phase transitions, the book includes detailed discussions of phenomena in Heisenberg magnets, granular super-conducting alloys, anisotropic systems of dipoles, and liquid-vapor transitions. Suitable for advanced undergraduates as well as graduate students in physics, the text assumes some knowledge of statistical mechanics, but is otherwise self-contained.978-1-4612-8695-0978

Overview: Focuses on principles that underpin signal processing as a discipline.Uses computable and freely available open-source IPython notebooks.Examines working codes which can be found for free online.This book covers the fundamental concepts in signal processing illustrated with Python code and made available via IPython Notebooks, which are live, interactive, browser-based documents that allow one to change parameters, redraw plots, and tinker with the ideas presented in the text. Everything in the text is computable in this format and thereby invites readers to “experiment and learn” as

Overview: Explores the lives of the physiology pioneers Warren and Margaret Lewis.Highlights numerous key developments in cell physiology.Gives an example of a successful life dedicated to basic research.This monograph is dedicated to the lives and scientific achievements of the physiology pioneers Warren and Margaret Lewis. Their story spans the first half of the 20.th. century, from their respective educations through early, independent research to joint research from 1910 to 1955. Among the numerous developments they initiated, were the discovery of pinocytosis, the beginnings of video micr

Overview: In this study of Plato‘s theory of the individual, I propose to show that Plato is deeply concerned with the achievement by each person of the moral excellence appropriate to man. Plato exhibits profound interest in the moral well being of each individual, not merely those who are philosophically gifted. Obviously my study is in opposition with a traditional line of interpretation which holds that Plato evinces small concern for the ordinary individual, the "common man" of today. According to this interpretation Plato‘s chief interest, shown especially in the Republic, is with the ph

Overview: Bei der Altlastensanierung liegt einiges im argen, nicht zuletzt die mangelnde Qualität der Planer- und Gutachterleistungen. Da die Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure (HOAI) den Bereich Altlastensanierung punktuell erfaßt, werden Honorare, Planer- und Gutachterleistungen in der Regel individuell festgelegt. Auftraggeber und Auftragnehmer beklagen zunehmend die Unsicherheiten bei diesem Verfahren. So werden Planungsmängel, wie das erhebliche Unterschätzen der Sanierungskosten, auf diesen ungeregelten Planungsablauf zurückgeführt. Fehlende Regelungen haben darüber hinaus ein

Overview: Die Entwicklung innovativer Produkte ist für Industrieunternehmen von herausragender Bedeutung. Empirische Untersuchungen belegen jedoch, daß neu entwickelte Produkte häufig die an sie gestellten Erwartungen nicht erfüllen. Christian Runzheimer zeigt, daß die Ursachen hierfür zum einen in gravierenden entscheidungslogischen Mängeln der eingesetzten Planungs- und Kontroll-Instrumente zu sehen sind. Zum anderen weisen nicht nur die sequentielle Produktentwicklung, sondern auch neuere Ansätze der Produktentwicklung(z. B. Simultaneous Engineering) erhebliche Defizite auf. Ausgehend von d

This collection considers the issues arising in this connection, focusing more closely on institutions such as the presidency and the security police, and on the socioeconomic dimensions of political power.978-1-349-35726-0978-0-230-58306-1Series ISSN 2947-5007 Series E-ISSN 2947-5015

Overview: Winner of the British Society of Criminology Book Prize 2013Drawing on research in men‘s long-term, maximum-security prisons, this book examines three interconnected problems: the tendency of the prison to obscure other social problems and conceal its own failings, the pursuit of greater levels of human security through repressive and violent means and the persistence of the belief in the problem of ‘evil‘.978-1-349-32872-7978-1-137-00483-3Series ISSN 2731-0604 Series E-ISSN 2731-0612
