Overview: Provides a ground-breaking and provocative approach to social and political change.Critiques capitalist-colonial-patriarchal society by delineating alternative realities.Transcends academic boundariesThis book opens up a unique intellectual space where eleven female scholar-activists explore alternative forms of theorising social reality. These‘Women on the Verge’ demonstrate that a new radical subject– one that is plural, prefigurative, decolonial, ethical, ecological, communal and democratic- is in the making, but is unrecognisable with old analytical tools. Of central concern to t

Overview: This book examines the extent to which international organizations have shaped reforms in education and training in federalist countries with regards to policy convergence. In advanced democracies, international organizations have become increasingly influential in government activity. This also applies to policy fields that have traditionally been nearly exclusively regulated by the nation-state. How strong is their influence in policy fields like education where they rely on purely soft governance to stimulate national policies? From a political science perspective, three major ini

Overview: The text analyses identities within virtual on-screen environments. Investigating regions in Second Life, it explores topical issues of the body in virtual space, nature and mythology in virtual environments, and the key arguments surrounding normative and subversive representations of gender, sexuality and subversion in screen-based environments.978-1-349-50021-5978-1-137-46834-5

Overview: Explains all essential aspects of scanning probe microscopy, including STM and AFM techniques.Serves as an ideal accompaniment to courses at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels.Presents sta.Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and procedures required to optimize the performance of the various methods described. The book covers not only the physical principles behind this popular technique, but also tackles questions on instrument desi

Overview: . . . the progress of physics will to a large extent depend on the progress of nonlinear mathe­ matics, of methods to solve nonlinear equations . . . and therefore we can learn by comparing different nonlinear problems. WERNER HEISENBERG I undertook to write this book for two reasons. First, I wanted to make easily available the basics of both the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws and the theory of systems of reaction-diffusion equations, including the generalized Morse theory as developed by C. Conley. These important subjects seem difficult to learn since the results are scatt

Overview: A lively demonstration of the great vitality and the multidisciplinary character of cluster research and of the usefulness of synthesizing its various aspects was given at this symposium. This volume covers all aspects of the physical and chemical properties of free and supported clusters or small particles: static, dynamical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties, adsorption and chemical phenomena. It thus gives a complete overview of the status of the field and its development.978-3-642-74915-5978-3-642-74913-1

Overview: Presents modern design practices.Brings SBES at entry level.Includes a brief historical perspective of structures.Includes supplementary material: .This book begins with a brief historical perspective of the advent of rotating machinery in 20th century Solid Mechanics and the development of the discipline of the Strength of Materials. High Performance Computing (HPC) and Simulation Based Engineering Science (SBES) have gradually replaced the conventional approach in Design bringing science directly into engineering without approximations. A recap of the required mathematical principl

Overview: Practical, symptom based presentation of sleep medicine disorders.Features new diagnostic technology and methods for clinical care.Addresses approaches to a variety of special populations.This concise text takes a symptom-based approach to evaluate and treat sleep disorders. Divided into two sections, this book emphasizes practical information in the patient history and physical, the latest screening techniques and common sleep disorders that either cause sleepiness, insomnia, or restless sleep. Chapters cover the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of major sleep

Overview: Early in 1958 a number of research projects on Soviet philosophy were started at the Institute of East-European Studies at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) under the direction of the undersigned. At present, they are all completed or nearly so and their results are described in 18 different volumes. In spite of the fact that all of them have been already published or soon will be (mostly in German), it has been thought worthwhile to present their main conclusions in the form of short English reports. This book contains in the main these reports. Only the two programmatic pape

Overview: Provides insights into service design practices in the healthcare and hospital sector.Highlights successful approaches, suitable methods and tools for innovative health care services.Written by renown.This book offers an overview of service design practices for healthcare and hospital management. It explores how these practices can help to generate innovations in healthcare and contribute to the improvement of patient-centered care. Respected experts, including scholars from various disciplines and practitioners from healthcare institutions, share essential insights into established

Overview: Wie in der Stadtplanung Gemeinschaft und sozialem Miteinander in soziokulturell gemischten Quartieren antizipiert werden.Stadtplanerische und architektonische Aspekte in der Gemeinwesenentwicklung.Mit.In der aktuellen Stadtentwicklungsdebatte wird das Leitbild des vielfältigen Stadtquartiers häufig mit sozialer Kohäsion als Zielaspekt einer anzustrebenden günstigen Gemeinwesenentwicklung in Verbindung gebracht. Dieser zunächst euphemistisch anmutende Bezug ist schon deshalb erklärungsbedürftig, da sich nach validen empirischen Erkenntnissen mit zunehmender sozioökonomischer und sozio

Overview: Presents the first book-length study of the history sociology in New Zealand.Employs keen content analysis of the publications of New Zealand as well as historical, qualitative, bibliometrical and surThis book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the various sociologies of New Zealand from the late 19th century to the present day. Opening with previously undocumented insights into the history of proto-sociology in New Zealand, the book then explores the parallel stories of the discipline both as a mainstream subject in Sociology departments and as a more diffuse ‘sociology’ w

Overview: Selected as an outstanding contribution by the University of Vienna.Proposes and optimizes a novel method for studying diffusion in solids.Develops theoretical model for data interpretation.Includes s.Diffusion in solids at moderate temperatures is a well-known phenomenon.  However, direct experimental evidence about the responsible atomic-scale mechanisms has been scarce, due to difficulties in probing the relevant length- and time-scales. The present thesis deals with the application of X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) for answering such questions. This is an establishe

Overview: This book represents the results of a lengthy study which Professor ALFRED RITTMANN began some thirty years ago. The relationship between the chemical and mineralogical composition of igneous rocks is established as far as is possible. Petrographers will appreciate that this problem is extremely complex, particularly since this relationship forms the basis of the classification and nomenclature of igneous rocks. The ingenious scheme of calculation of the CI.P.W. norm system is essentially chemical in nature. The compositions of the stoichiometrically ideal "normative minerals" do not
