Overview: Written for performance, Shakespeare‘s plays are very different texts from any intended for a reader with book in hand and they require a different kind of attention. John Russell Brown‘s latest book attempts a description of Shakespeare‘s distinctive practice as a writer for the stage and, in doing so, suggests ways of responding to the plays which bring them alive in the mind as if in performance. It is a book for use, to quicken both eye and ear while reading the texts and to enliven almost any critical debate.

Overview: Will be the most comprehensive book on waveguide nonlinear optic devices.Includes supplementary material: .Nonlinear-optical (NLO) effects make possible devices that perform many functions, such as wavelength conversion and signal processing, while waveguides enable the devices to be both efficient and compact. This book presents a systematic description of the NLO field, with an emphasis on devices that use ferroelectric waveguides. The earlier chapters provide an introduction to the concepts of waveguides, NLO devices, coupled-mode formalism and phase matching. Then, various NLO in

Overview: Marriage and social inequality are closely interrelated. Marriage is dependent on the structure of marriage markets, and marriage patterns have consequences for social inequality. This book demonstrates that in most modern societies the educa­ tional system has become an increasingly important marriage market, particularly for those who are highly qualified. Educational expansion in general and the rising educational participation of women in particular unintentionally have increased the rate of "assortative meeting" and assortative mating across birth cohorts. Rising educational hom

Overview: As the business environment has become more and more turbulent over the past decade, information technology has begun to run into the danger of becoming an impediment rather than a motor of progress. In order to deal with the need for rapid, continuous change, computer science is challenged to develop novel interrelated information and communication technologies, and to align them with the social needs of co-operating user groups, as well as the management requirements of formal organisations. Workflow systems are among the most advertised technologies addressing this trend, but they

Overview: 47 brauchen nur den Nennern so groß zu wählen, daß das Intervall [0, 1/n] kleiner wird als das fragliche Intervall [A, B], dann muß mindestens einer der Brüche mfn innerhalb des Intervalls liegen. Also kann es kein noch so kleines Intervall auf der Achse geben, das von rationalen Punkten frei wäre. Es folgt weiterhin, daß es in jedem Intervall unendlich viele rationale Punkte geben muß; denn wenn es nur eine endliche Anzahl gäbe, so könnte das Intervall zwischen zwei beliebigen benachbarten Punkten keine rationalen Punkte enthalten, was, wie wir eben sahen, unmöglich ist. § 2.
