Overview: The author wrote a monograph 20 years ago on the construction of spin eigen­ functions; the monograph was published by Plenum. The aim of that mono­ graph was to present all aspects connected with the construction of spin eigen­ functions and its relation to the use of many-electron antisymmetric wavefunc­ tions. The present book is an introduction to these subjects, with an emphasis on the practical side. After the theoretical treatment, there will be many exam­ ples and exercises which will illustrate the different methods. The theory of the symmetric group and its representations

Overview: The authors uncover the roots of the eurozone crisis, focusing on how this can be solved against the backdrop of a very deep financial and economic crisis and its strong social impact.

Overview: On November 15, 1959, an extraordinary conference of the German Social Democratic Party adopted a new program, one which departed abruptly from the party‘s ninety-year tradition. One year later, on November 25, 1960, the party conference in regular session applauded the party‘s new "team," a group of personable candidates headed by Willy Brandt.
