Overview: Makes a significant diversion from dominant readings of Beckett, which tend to see little political or social interest behind his philosophical concerns.Offers an important contribution to Beckett stuThis book considers how Samuel Beckett’s critical essays, dialogues and reflections drew together longstanding philosophical discourses about the nature of representation, and fostered crucial, yet overlooked, connections between these discourses and his fiction and poetry. It also pays attention to Beckett’s writing for little-magazines in France from the 1930s to the 1950s, before goin

Overview: Kulturtheoretische und empirische GrundlegungDas alte Thema der Mensch-Erde Beziehung ist unter ökologischen Vorzeichen als problematisches Verhältnis von Gesellschaft und Naturraum virulent geworden. Landschaft wird als Konzept fruchtbar gemacht, das ermöglicht, die vielfältigen Dimensionen gesellschaftlicher Naturraumbezüge in einer integralen Perspektive zu erfassen. Eine kulturtheoretische Ausarbeitung des Begriffs versichert sich kritisch seiner Herkunft und überführt ihn in ein Konzept, das gegenwärtiger raum-, wissenschafts-, medien- und techniktheoretischer Reflexion angemess

Overview: Presents a broad, panoramic view of all major sea snail groups, both the more abundant as well as remote ones of special interest.Covers all sea snail groups along with five major features of their naThis richly illustrated book presents the diversity and natural history of sea snail groups. By integrating aspects of morphology, ecology, evolution and behaviour, it describes how each group copes with problems of defence, locomotion, nutrition, reproduction and embryonic development. First come general characteristics of the Mollusca, to which snails belong; and next, characteristics

Overview: Contains over two dozen transfer models to support intro- and intergenerational transfers.Provides an up to date insight into understanding sophisticated pension models.Addresses child benefits and fe.The rising role of intra- and intergenerational transfers (e.g. basic income, child benefit and public pensions) characterises modern economies, yet most models depicting these transfers are too sophisticated for a wider but mathematically trained audience. This book presents simple models to fill the gap. The author considers a benevolent government maximizing social welfare by anticip

Overview: Innovation ist heute ein Begriff, von dem eine ungewöhnlich politische und wissen­ schaftliche Faszination ausgeht. Wie kommt Innovation zustande, wie kann man die Bedingungen für das Zustandekommen von Innovation verbessern, und wie kann man schließlich unter neuen Ideen eine sinnvolle Auswahl treffen, das sind Fragen, mit denen sich heute die Naturwissenschaften und die Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften in besonderem Maße beschäftigen. Der Innovationsforschung und der Forschungsplanung gilt aber auch das besondere Interesse der Unternehmen und der staatlichen Instanzen. Eine Ze

Overview: During a short visit to Bremen in December 1989 John Rosenberg had several discussions with me about computer architecture. Although we had previously worked together for more than a decade in Australia we had not seen each other for over a year, following my move to Bremen in 1988. Meanwhile John was spending a year on study leave at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland with Professor Ron Morrison and his persistent programming research group. From our conversations it was quite clear that John was having a most fruitful time in St. Andrews and was gaining valuable new insights

Overview: The study of phase transformations in substitutional alloys, including order­ disorder phenomena and structural transformations, plays a crucial role in understanding the physical and mechanical properties of materials, and in designing alloys with desired technologically important characteristics. Indeed, most of the physical properties, including equilibrium properties, transport, magnetic, vibrational as well as mechanical properties of alloys are often controlled by and are highly sensitive to the existence of ordered compounds and to the occurrence of structural transformations.
