Overview: This is a book for the general reader about the world of fungi. We should know more about fungi. They have killed us, saved us and served us since before written records began. We have been making bread, brewing ale, and fermenting wine for millennia. Our crops have been at the mercy of fungal diseases since we became farmers, and they still are. Fungal diseases have caused large demographic changes - from the great plague of ‘St. Anthony‘s Fire‘ of the Middle Ages (caused by a fungal toxin) to the Irish mass migration to the Americas during the famine (caused by a fungal disease of

Overview: Politik und Religion in der modernen GesellschaftFür die Beschreibung des Verhältnisses von Politik und Religion und des Weges der westlichen Gesellschaften in die Moderne bleibt der Begriff der Säkularisierung unverzichtbar. Einer einseitigen Säkularisierungsthese kann aber sowohl empirisch als auch theoretisch widersprochen werden. Die Autoren dieses Bandes beleuchten deshalb aus ideen- und begriffsgeschichtlicher Perspektive die ambivalente Beziehung von Politik und Religion. Es zeigt sich, daß die Geschichte der westlichen Moderne nicht als linear-fortschreitender Prozess der Säk

Overview: These notes revolve around three similarity problems, appearing in three dif­ ferent contexts, but all dealing with the space B(H) of all bounded operators on a complex Hilbert space H. The first one deals with group representations, the second one with C* -algebras and the third one with the disc algebra. We describe them in detail in the introduction which follows. This volume is devoted to the background necessary to understand these three open problems, to the solutions that are known in some special cases and to numerous related concepts, results, counterexamples or extensions w

Overview: Wesen und Struktur des subjektiven Rechts.Analytisches Konzept.Berücksichtigung kontinentaleuropäischer und angelsächsischer Ansätze– Muss man sich also damit begnügen zu sagen: Subjektive Rechte sind das, was von Juristen für den Einzelnen in Bezug auf die Rechtsordnung gefordert, proklamiert, gewährt, interpretativ ermittelt, geltend gemacht und durchgesetzt wird? Selbstverständlich nicht!

Overview: Fast track conference proceeding.Unique visibility.State of the art researchThis is the seventh volume of a series of books on fundamental research in spatial cognition. As with past volumes, the research presented here spans a broad range of research traditions, for spatial cognition concerns not just the basic spatial behavior of biological and artificial agents, but also the reasoning processes that allow spatial planning across broad spatial and temporal scales. Spatial information is critical for coordinated action and thus agents interacting with objects and moving among object
