Overview: Only monograph on two-dimensional Coulomb liquids and solids on the market.Includes supplementary material: This book is about quantum phenomena in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems with extremely strong internal interactions. The central objects of interest are Coulomb liquids, in which the average Coulomb interaction en­ ergy per electron is much higher than the mean kinetic energy, and Wigner solids. The main themes are quantum transport in two dimensions and the dynamics of highly correlated electrons in the regime of strong coupling with medium excitations. In typical solids

Overview: other aspects of developing grammars. And this is, indeed, what the contributions to this volume do. Parameterization of functional categories may, however, be understood in different ways, even if one shares the dual assumptions that substantive elements (verbs, nouns, etc. ) are present in all grammars and that X-bar principles are part of the grammatical knowledge available to the child prior to language-specific learning processes. From these assumptions it follows that the child should, from early on, be able to construct projections on the basis of these elements. The role of f

Overview: Constitutes the first book-length comprehensive analysis of "who gets what, when and how" in the Council.Analyses a new and original data-set on decision-making in the Council Yields challenging new iThe Council of the European Union is the institutional heart of EU policy-making. But ‘who gets what, when and how’ in the Council? What are the dimensions of political conflict, and which countries form coalitions in the intense negotiations to achieve their desired policy outcomes? Focussing on collective decision-making in the Council between 1998 and 2007, this book provides a compre

Overview: Awarded the 2014 James Franck Institute for Best PhD Thesis Presentation and the 2013 Grainger Fellowship, awarded annually to the top experimentalist graduate student at the University of Chicago.OffThis thesis conceptualizes and implements a new framework for designing materials that are far from equilibrium. Starting with state-of-the-art optimization engines, it describes an automated system that makes use of simulations and 3D printing to find the material that best performs a user-specified goal. Identifying which microscopic features produce a desired macroscopic behavior is a

Overview: Written by a highly cited chemist.Explores the limitations of Quantum Mechanics.Aimed at individuals with an interest in philosophy and quantum chemistryThis volume, written by a highly cited author, presents the history of quantum theory together with open questions and remaining problems in terms of the plausibility of quantum chemistry and physics. It also provides insights into the theory of matter-wave mechanics. The content is aimed at students and lecturers in chemistry, physics and the philosophy of science.978-3-319-82399-7978-3-319-41621-2

Overview: First theory on NGO Communication from a conceptual and operative perspectiveBy understanding the ontogenesis of NGOs as civil society organizations from a historical-anthropological, communicational, sociological, economical and managerial perspective, Evandro Oliveira outlines the Instigatory Theory of NGO Communication (ITNC). This proposes the ontological principles, an applied conceptual model and a cybernetic operational model for understanding and managing communication at NGOs. Those models were tested using a mixed-method research design. 978-3-658-26857-2978-3-658-26858-9Se

Overview: Provides the first extensive study on civil society and democratization in Africa.Compares the laws, policies and political upheavals experienced by six African nations in different stages of the demoThis book tests many of the assumptions, hypotheses, and conclusions connected with the presumed role of civil society organizations in the democratization of African countries. Taking a comparative approach, it looks at countries that have successfully democratized, those that are stuck between progress and regression, those that have regressed into dictatorship, and those that are curr

Overview: At the start of the third Christian millennium we are aware of massive political, economic and ideological changes which condition the chances of liberty, wealth and equality. Yet it is surprisingly difficult for us to understand these forces, for we cannot see what surrounds us so closely. This book analyses our condition by looking at the work of two great thinkers, one of whom provides a deep historical perspective, the other a wide comparative analysis. F.W. Maitland (1850-1906) was more than the greatest professional historian of modern times, he was a philosopher who provides a

Overview: Wie Technik die Gesellschaft verändert.Fundierte Studie über den Zusammenhang von Technik und Gesellschaft.Aktualisierte Neuauflage.Includes supplementary material: Das Anliegen dieses Buches ist es, die Lücke mangelnden Technikbezugs in der Sozial- und Gesellschaftstheorie zu füllen. Dazu werden mit Bezug auf Technik-, Medien-, Symbol- und Interaktionstheorien und speziell Ansätze der Praxistheorie von Dewey, Mead, Joas und Giddens konzeptuelle Vorschläge gemacht. An Beispielen wird gezeigt, wie mit diesen Konzepten der Technisierung, der soziotechnischen Konstellation und der hybri

Overview: Offers a comprehensive and transatlantic perspective on the dynamics of the single woman within the context of literary history and the history of gender.Connects the discussion of single women to lar.This book situates the single woman within the evolving landscape of modernity, examining how she negotiated rural and urban worlds, explored domestic and bohemian roles, and traversed public and private spheres.

Overview: First volume of Springer Series on encyclopaedias of the seas.Includes supplementary material: The ‘‘Aral Sea Encyclopedia’’ is the first one in the new series of encyclopedias about the seas of the former Soviet Union. Preparing it we faced certain difficulties. The thing is that this encyclopedia is a monument to the sea that is disappearing during our lifetime. The world community considers the situation with the Aral Sea and all changes that occurred in its whereabouts in the recent decades as one of the most serious, if not disastrous anthropogenic environmental crises of the 20

Overview: Not very many years ago, it was common for language researchers and theorists to argue that language development was somehow special and separate from other aspects of development. It was a period when the "1 ittle 1 inguist" view of language development was common, and much discussion was devoted to develop­ mental "linguistic universals," in contrast to more broadly defined cognitive universals. It seemed to me at the time (and still does) that such views reflected more their promulgators‘ ignorance of those aspects of cognitive development most likely to provide illuminating paral
