Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -It was in the early summer of 1906 that Violet Bonham Carter first met Winston Churchill: an encounter which left an 'indelible im pression' upon her. 'I found myself,' she recalled, sitting next to this young man who seemed to me quite different from any other young man I had ever met. For a long time he remained sunk in abstraction. Then he appeared to become aware of my existence. He tumed on me a lowering gaze and asked me abruptly how old I was. I replied that I was nineteen. HAnd I,' he said almost despairingly, 'am thirty-two already. Younger than anyone else who counts, though,' he added, as if to comfort himself. Then savagely: 'Curse ruthless time! Curse our own mortality! How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!' And he burst forth into an eloquent diatribe on the shortness of human life, the immensity of possible human accomplishment - a theme so well exploited by the poets, prophets and philosophers of all ages that it might seem difficult to invest it with a new life and startling significance. Yet for me he did so, in a torrent of magnificent language which appeared to be both effortless and inexhaustible and ended up with the words I shall always 1 remember: 'We are all worms. But I do believe that I am a glow worm.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -1.1. The origin of the multiobjective problem and a short historical review The continuing search for a discovery of theories, tools and c- cepts applicable to decision-making processes has increased the complexity of problems eligible for analytical treatment. One of the more pertinent criticisms of current decision-making theory and practice is directed against the traditional approximation of multiple goal behavior of men and organizations by single, technically-convenient criterion. Reins- tementof the role of human judgment in more realistic, multiple goal se,ttings has been one of the ma~or recent developments in the literature. Consider the following simplified problem. There is a large number of people to be transported daily between two industrial areas and their adjacent residential areas. Given some budgetary and technological c- straints we would like to determine optimal transportation modes as well as the number of units of each to be scheduled for service. What is the optimal solution Are we interested in the cheapest transportation Do we want the fastest, the safest, the cleanest, the most profitable, the most durable There are many criteria which are to be considered: travel times, consumer's cost, construction cost, operating cost, expected fatalities and injuries, probability of delays, etc.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 236 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Philonous: You see, Hylas, the water of yonder fountain, how it is forced upwards, in a round column, to a certain height, at which it breaks and falls back into the basin from whence it rose, its ascent as well as descent proceeding from the same uniform law or principle of gravitation. Just so, the same principles which at first view, lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common 1 sense. Although major works on Berkeley have considered his Philosophy of 1 George Berkeley, Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, ed.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The present work has three principal objectives: (1) to fix the chronology of the development of the pre-Euclidean theory of incommensurable magnitudes beginning from the first discoveries by fifth-century Pythago reans, advancing through the achievements of Theodorus of Cyrene, Theaetetus, Archytas and Eudoxus, and culminating in the formal theory of Elements X; (2) to correlate the stages of this developing theory with the evolution of the Elements as a whole; and (3) to establish that the high standards of rigor characteristic of this evolution were intrinsic to the mathematicians' work. In this third point, we wish to counterbalance a prevalent thesis that the impulse toward mathematical rigor was purely a response to the dialecticians' critique of foundations; on the contrary, we shall see that not until Eudoxus does there appear work which may be described as purely foundational in its intent. Through the examination of these problems, the present work will either alter or set in a new light virtually every standard thesis about the fourth-century Greek geometry. I. THE PRE-EUCLIDEAN THEORY OF INCOMMENSURABLE MAGNITUDES The Euclidean theory of incommensurable magnitudes, as preserved in Book X of the Elements, is a synthetic masterwork. Yet there are detect able seams in its structure, seams revealed both through terminology and through the historical clues provided by the neo-Platonist commentator Proclus.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Die Physik und die Ingenieurwissenschaften bedienten sich schon immer mathematischer Methoden. Seit einigen lahren oder lahr zehnten findet die Mathematik auch in anderen Wissenschaften Eingang. In der Biologie gab es schon friih vielversprechende Ansatze fiir mathematische ModeIIe und gegenwartig breitet sich die Anwendung mathematischer Methoden rasch aus. Aufgrund der Komplexitat biologischer Vorgange ist es aIIerdings schwieriger als in der Physik, mathematische ModeIIe zu entwerfen, die zu einer befriedigenden Ubereinstimmung mit experimenteIIen Daten fUhren. Diesen Tatsachen entsprechend wird an den meisten Universi taten fiir die Studenten der Biologie eine Ausbildung in Mathematik vorgesehen, die allerdings - wegen der groBeren Bela stung durch andere Nebenfiicher - an Umfang hinter der der Physikstudenten zuriicksteht. In dem zur VerfUgung stehenden Rahmen sollte den Studenten ein Wissen vermittelt werdeJl, das sie zur Behandlung konkreter nichttrivialer Probleme und zum Verstandnis mathe matisch-biologischer Arbeiten befiihigt, das andererseits in den mathematischen Grundlagen nicht unbedingt voIIstandig sein muB. Das vorliegende Buch, das aus einigen mathematischen Vor lesungen fUr Biologen an der Universitat Tiibingen entstanden ist, bietet eine entsprechende Auswahl mathematischer Gebiete mit biologischen Anwendungen. Die getroffene Auswahl ist na tiirIich subjektiv, eine Erweiterung in der einen oder anderen Richtung ist durchaus erwagenswert. Mehrere Abschnitte geben auch dem Studenten der Mathe matik Anregungen und Beispiele fiir die Anwendung mathemati scher Satze auf biologische Probleme.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 248 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Chemical Shift in the Investigation of Compounds with the Microprobe Changes in the X-ray spectra of Ti, Hf, and Ta as a function of their bonding to B were investigated. Lines of the K-, L-, and M-series were measured. Since only the lines of highest intensity are observed in heat excitation, only an indirect dependence on the binding is demonstrable. For this reason, the values observed were interpreted as being due to the overlapping of the outer energy bands in chemical compounds. Literatur 1 H. Kunst, Harterei-Techn. Mitt. 28, 105 (1073). 2 K.

That elegant fiction the competitive equilibrium seems still to dominate the frontiers of theoretical microeconomics. We may think of it in a general way as a state of affairs wherein economic agents, responding 'rationally' to annoWlced prices, make choices which are consistent and feasible. The prices may also be described as 'taken': for one reason or another the agents who respond to them consider them as given. The existence of such a state, its optimality, its robustness against free bargaining among agents when there are many of them, its Wliqueness, its stability when price displacements evoke specified adjustments--all these issues have been studied, and continue to be studied in a variety of settings. Slowly the equilibrium investigated begins to incorporate public goods, externalities of certain kinds, differences in agents' information, and infinitely many time periods. The appeal of such results need not be belabored: the equilibrium studied may sustain an optimal resource allocation, and when it does it sus tains it in a manner that appears to be informationally efficient and to accord well with individual incentives. Therefore it is important to extend the circumstances under which an equilibrium exists, under which it sustains opti mality, and under which it survives displacements as well as free bargaining among agents.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The relation of mind and body is one of the central problems of post Cartesian times. It has precluded a unified theory of the positive sciences and prevented a satisfactory notion of man's psychophysical unity. Gen erally it has been treated as a problem of causality and solutions have been sought in various schemata of etiological relations. Proposals have ranged from that of reciprocal action between two substances and two causal streams to a reduction of all phenomena to a single causal stream involving a single class of substances. This investigatiDn will abandDn such schemata and attempt to' start afresh. It will analyze the relation Df strata Df meaning invDlved and will be Dnly tangentially concerned with the causal relatiDns Df mind and body. This investigation will view the relation Df mind and body no lDnger as the associatiDn Df twO' substances, twO' things, but as the integratiDn Df two levels of conceptual richness. This is a move from hypostatization, reification, to' categorializatiO'n - a mDve from the O'pacity Df things to' the relative lucidity Df their significance. It recognizes that philO'SOphy seeks not new facts about being but rather a way Df understanding the integratiDn Df widely diverse domains Df facts. Here the gDal is the expla natiDn of the unity Df being, specifically the being of mind and bDdy, in terms Df thDught - that fDr which being has significance and that for which incongruities of significance appear as a problem.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 184 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The aim of this study is to trace the development of the literary travel memoir in Russia during the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth. Having indicated the prove nances of this genre in Western Europe, I shall evaluate its role in Russian literary history. Because this study is not intended to be an historical survey of all significant travel works that appeared in Russia, I shall pass over such early pioneer travelers as the Abbot Daniil who visited Palestine at the beginning of the twelfth century and recorded for his countrymen detailed descriptions of the Holy places, or the merchant, Afanasij Nikitin, whose travel notes concerning a trip to India are preserved in a fifteenth century chronicle. The travel genre, which had become enormously popular in eight eenth century Western Europe,l was cleverly exploited by Fonvizin, Radishchev, and Karamzin to expound to the Russian reading public certain important notions on literary theory, on society (foreign and domestic), on themselves, and on nature. The travel genre - then as now a flexible instrument for transmitting, by means of diary-style narrative, information about distant, often exotic people and place- had been adapted by Sterne and others to themes having little relation to a conventional journey. The Russians were quick to grasp the genre's literary as well as its polemical possibilities, and influenced by Western models, they too used it to convey theoretical assertions on a variety of SUbjects.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 152 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The Gospels ofMatilda, Countess ofTuscany, is a manuscript written and illuminated in Northern Italy toward the end ofthe eleventh century. A credible fourteenth century document states that it was presented by the Countess to the Benedictine monastery of Polirone, near Mantua. In the manuscript's pictorial cycle, the Cleansing of the Temple and the scenes related to it are iconographically extra ordinary. An understanding of them must begin with a study of their ideological sources, closely related historicfigures, Medieval writers who employed the figure ofthe Cleansing ofthe Temple, and the political-social movement ofthe Patarines. Then the Matilda Gospels' illuminations will stand revealed as the key artistic expression of the Gregorian Reform and as a prime document of some of the most important events and ideas ofthe Middle Ages. II. ART AND THE REFORM OF THE ELEVENTH CENTURY Church reform in the eleventh century was a heroic engage ment. Norman Cantor calls it one of the four great «world revolutions» of Western history.! The authority of the papacy, theindependenceofthechurch,andtheveryleadershipofMedie val society were its mortally contested issues critical both to history and to political theory.2 Gregory VII and Matilda of Tuscany were but two of the vivid personalities among its partisans. But in the history ofart the struggle has been nearly invisible.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 80 pp. Englisch.

Here, perhaps imprudently, I attempt to break out of this pattern. Though I am by profes sion a philosopher, I am addressing primarily, not other philo sophers, but cultural anthropologists, sociologists, historians of ideas, and literary and art critics. Thus, while there are chapters in this book on metaphysics and political theory, I do not ask, 'Is the doctrine in question true ' - which is the kind of ques tion a philosopher might be expected to raise. Instead I ask, 'What can we learn from this doctrine about the personality structure of the individual who framed it and about the charac teristic drives of the society in which he lived ' My reasons for asking and for trying to answer this kind of question, instead of the usual philosophical question, are as follows: Though the material products of culture' and the overt behavior patterns of societies have long been objects of scientific study, the most characteristic products of high cultures - artistic productions like poems and paintings and' theoretical structures like metaphysical and scientific theory - have not as readily yielded to exact description and analysis. Not, of course, that there is not a very extensive discussion of these matters. But most of it is carried on in terms that are regrettably vague.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 320 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The historical literature on the first world war has devoted relatively little attention to the Allied blockade of the Central Powers. The few published studies have concentrated either on the blockade's naval aspects or exclusively on the British contribution. Little effort has been made heretofore to distinguish the French role. This study focuses on the French contribution to the diplomatic, as contrasted with the maritime, blockade of the Central Powers. It discusses primarily French relations with the so-called European border neutral states : principally Switzerland, but also the Netherlands and the three Scandinavian countries. Only in the diplomatic aspects of the Allied blockade program did the French play a distinctive role. Their token contribution to maritime blockade activity remained subordinate to the British. An examination of Franco-neutral rela tions involves not only a study of those diplomatic contacts per se but also a comparison of French and British tactics as a reflection of differing economic warfare concepts. This study also investigates the development of a French blockade organization to meet the demands of this new weapon, the diplomatic blockade.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 228 pp. Englisch.

This book asserts, contrary to Saint-E Yen remond, that religious controversy on the eve of the Enlightenment was far from sterile or antichristian. In reconstructing a French religious debate of the era of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, it shows how the debate allowed both lay and clerical thinkers of the late seventeenth century to discuss the critical issues of their own day. The Revocation era was an era of crisis not only for French Protestantism, but for Protestantism in general: the final acts of the English Revolution were played out during these years, and the northern maritime alliance against the Catholic Louis XIV took shape. The Revocation era was also a period of exciting intellectual ferment in religion, morality, politics and science. Although the topic of the religious debate in France was historical - the history of the Reformation, the discussion of the topic reflected both the crisis and ferment of the times. 268 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When Heidegger's influence was at its zenith in Gennany from the early fifties to the early sixties, most serious students of philosophy in that country were deeply steeped in his thought. His students or students of his students filled many if not most of the major chairs in philosophy. A cloud of reputedly Black Forest mysticism veiled the perspective of many of his critics and admirers at home and abroad. Droves of people flocked to hear lectures by him that most could not understand, even on careful reading, much less on one hearing. He loomed so large that Being and Time frequently could not be seen as a highly imaginative, initial approach to a strictly limited set of questions, but was viewed either as an all-embracing fmt order catastrophy incorporating at once the most feared consequences of Boehme, Kierkegaard, RiIke, and Nietzsche, or as THE ANSWER. But most of that has past. Heidegger's dominance of Gennan philosophy has ceased. One can now brush aside the larger-than-life images of Heidegger, the fears that his language was creating a cult phenomenon, the convictions that only those can understand him who give their lives to his thought. His language is at times unusually difficult, at times simple and beautiful. Some of his insights are obscure and not helpful, others are exciting and clarifying. One no longer expects Heidegger to interpret literature like a literary critic or an academic philologist. 216 pp. Englisch.

Auf der Tafel begegnet dem Betrachter eine Gestalt mit aufgetriebenem Leib, verriirbtem Gesicht, verdorrten Armen und flossenartigen FUBen. Nach einer langen Diskussion kam die kunst- und medizinhistorische Forschung zu dem SchluB, daB diese Gestalt als ein Opfer der Mutterkorn-Vergiftung aufzufassen sei. Damit schlieBt sich ein Kreis: Das Altarwerk war ein Auftrag der Antoniter in Isenheim. Das Hauptanliegen dieses Ordens bestand in der Pflege und Versorgung der Opfer der Mutterkorn-Vergiftung, damals Antonius-Feuer genannt. Der kunsthistorischen Methode folgend, galt die Suche nach einer ahnlichen Gestalt auf einem Werk der spatmittelalterlichen Tafelmalerei. Von keinem anderen Maler jener Zeit wurde die so oft bearbeitet wie von Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516). Dem ersten Anlauf war kein Erfolg beschieden. Es galt daher, der komplexen Natur der Mutterkorn-Vergiftung nachzugehen. Neben den medizinischen Fakten muBten auch die zahlreichen kultur geschichtlichen VerknUpfungen bedacht werden, wie zum Beispiel die Geschichte des Antoniter-Ordens. Dieser breit gefacherte Ansatz zeitigte Ergebnisse. Die Vielfalt der Beziehungen dieser Krankheit zu Kunst und Medizin sowie zu zahl reichen anderen Gebieten erforderten eine grenzUberschreitende Darstellung, wobei sich der Verfasser nur zu bewuBt ist, wie mangelhaft dieser Versuch bleiben muB, da hierbei so viele Bereiche menschlichen Wissens berUhrt werden; reicht doch die Spann weite yom theologischen Problem der Krankheitsauffassung im Mittelalter bis hin zur rein naturwissenschaftlichen Frage der Pathogenese des Ergotismus convulsivus. 136 pp. Deutsch.
