This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Second Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming is the successor of a similar Colloquium organized by IRIA in Paris, July 3-7, 1972. The present Colloquium which takes place at the Unl- versity of Saarbrucken from July 29th to August 2nd, 1974, is spon sored by the Gesellschaft fur. Informatik and organized in cooperation wlth the Special Interest Group on Automata and Computability Theory (SIGACT) and with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As its predecessor the present Colloquium is devoted to the theo retical bases of computer science. This volume contains the text of the different lectures of the Colloquium whlch have been selected by the Program Committee out of about 130 submitted papers. About one third of the papers of this volume is concerned with formal language theory, one other third with the theory of computation and the rest with complexity theory, automata theory, programming languages, etc. 624 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Emmanuel Levinas recounts the main events of his life in a brief essay, 'Signature,' appended to a collection of essays on social, political and religious themes entitled Dillicile Uberti. He was born in I905 in Lithu ania and in I9I7, while living in the Ukraine, experienced the collapse of the old regime in Russia. In I923 he came to the University of Strasbourg where Charles Blondel, Halbwachs, Pradines, Carteron and later Gueroult were teaching. He was deeply influenced by those of his teachers who had been adolescents during the time of the Dreyfus affair and for whom this issue assumed critical importance. Continuing his studies at Freiburg from I928-I929, he served an apprenticeship in phenomenology with Jean Hering. Subsequent encounters with Leon Brunschwicg and regular conversations with Gabriel Marcel served to distinguish, to sharpen and bring into the foreground, his own unique point of view. He also attests a long friendship with Jean Wahl. To gether with Henri Nerson he undertook a study of Talmudic sources under the guidance of a teacher who communicated the traditional Jewish mode of exegesis. It is no accident that Levinas begins his autobiographical account, which is indeed no more than a spare outline of events and formative influences, with the information that the Hebrew Bible directed his thinking from the time of his earliest child hood in Lithuania. 236 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Third International Kant Congress met in Rochester, New York, March 30 to April 4, 1970. The Proceedings, published by D. Reidel Publishing Company in 1972, contained 76 complete papers and 30 ab stracts in three languages. Since this large volume covered many phases of Kant's philosophy from a wide variety of standpoints, it is unlikely that the entire contents of it will be of interest to anyone philosopher. I have therefore selected from that volume the 20 papers that seem to me to be most likely to be of interest to English-speaking philosophers who are, to use a fairly vague description, in the 'analytical tradition'. The topics treated here are those which are most relevant to current philosoph ical debate in the theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of science. The division of papers under the seven principal topics, however, is in some respects a little arbitrary. I hope this little volume, published 250 years after Kant's birth, will show philosophers who are not already convinced that Kant is one of the most contemporary of the great philosophers of the past. I believe that the efforts of the authors of the papers will show that there can be genuine Kantian contributions towards the solution of problems that have fre quently been handled in opposition to, or obliviousness of, the eighteenth century philosopher who did more than anyone else to formulate the problems which still worry philosophers in the analytic tradition. 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This textbook has its ongm in a longstanding international profes sional and personal relationship of the authors. The success of the German edition was a result of the interest of the German authors, Dr. K. Knorr and Dr. C. Lauritzen, in synthesizing basic and clinical information in a textbook, the size and scope of which are appropriate to the modern undergraduate medical student. A unique feature of the volume was the addition of American gynecological thinking by Dr. F. K. Beller, who spent 12 years at New York University before returning to Germany. The English edition, which is aimed at the American medical student, has enlisted the services of Dr. R. M. Wynn, whose academic career has been in the United States, although he is thoroughly familiar with principles and practices of German gynecology. The English edition is not merely a translation of the German text. Rather, it incorporates most of the material, but with judiciOUS deletions, additions, and substitutions it brings the teaching into the mainstream of American medical education. We acknowledge with gratitude the expert editional assistance of Dr. Henriette Knorr-Gartner. Dr. R. Schuh mann and Mr. H. Brandt of Springer-Verlag were responsible for the histological sketches. The late Dr. H. Roemer prepared the section on psychosomatic disorders; Dr. F. W. Ahnefeld assisted in the section on shock; and Dr. H. Breinl helped to prepare the chapter on anatomy in the German edition. 396 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This third volume of our Annual bibliography of the history of the printed books and libraries contains about 2800 entries and added entries, i.e. some two hundred more than the preceding volume. They have been selected and recorded by the National Committees of the following countries: Austria Ireland (Republic of) Belgium Luxembourg Bulgaria The Netherlands Denmark Norway Finland Poland France Rumania German Democratic Republic South Africa German Federal Republic Switzerland Great Britain USSR Hungary The editor deplores that despite frequent personal and epistolary contact, a number of other countries have up to now failed to join this scheme of international bibliographic collaboration. It should be obvious that their very absence has impaired the coverage of the present bibliography. To infer, however, that it should therefore not be published would imply an underestimation of the domain already covered by the collaborating National Committees. It would also indicate a rather premature pessimism and a certain lack of belief in the possibility of international collaboration. On the contrary, the collaboration of Portugal, Yugoslavia, and of the United States from the next volume onwards, would seem VIII INTRODUCTION to justify the expectation of a gradual enlargement of the geographical coverage of this pUblication. Benevolent readers are requested to signal the names of bibliographers and historians from countries not mentioned above, who would be willing to co-operate. The editor will greatly appreciate any communication on this matter. 299 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book presents a philosophical position examined philosophically. Although it does not go beyond the confines ofFicino's perspective and is governed by standards of historical accuracy, it makes explicit in its explanation ofFicino's text the enduring philosophical questions which are at issue there. True, the book examines in some detail Ficino's relation to his Platonic and Scholastic sources, and this is an issue of primary interest to those who study the history of culture or the his torical development of philosophy. However, in Ficino's thought, this issue is also a philosophical issue. Ficino chooses Platonism as his guide because this philosophy retains an explicit and essential orientation to religion. When he takes Platonism as the primary instance of philoso phy, he is taking a stand on the nature of philosophy itself. Philosophy necessarily points toward the divinity and hence is necessarily related to the veneration and worship of its object. Christian theology joins Platonic philosophy in this movement toward God, developing more completely the implications of its fundamental insights. And the 1 'splendor of Christian theology' is Thomas Aquinas. Therefore, to examine the relationship between Platonism and Thomism in Ficino's thought is to examine Ficino's position on the unity of philosophy and theology. Scholars writing about Ficino have pointed to three major influences on his thought. The influence of Plato and the neo-Platonists, of course, is readily recognized. 238 pp. Englisch.

Given James's personality, one can easily imagine the explosive commen tary he would make on any attempt to situate his deliberately unsystematic writings within anyone philosophical mainstream. Yet, in recent years, the most fruitful scholarship on William James has resulted from a confrontation between his philosophy and the phe nomenology of Husserl. The very unlikelihood of such a comparison renders all the more fascinating the remarkable convergence of perspectives that comes to light when the fundamental projects of James and HusserI are juxtaposed. At first view, nothing could be more alien to the pragmatic mentality with its constant mistrust of any global system than a philosophy whose basic drive is to discover absolute knowledge and whose goal is to establish itself as a certain and universal science. 204 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The first of its kind, a seminar on Production Theory was held at the University of Karlsruhe during May and June 1973. Seven of the nineteen resource participants were from Canada, France, the Netherlands, Sweden and the U.S.A., to make the seminar an international symposium. The other par ticipants involved a variety of experts from German univer sities. Karlsruhe supplied the predominant part of the Ger man contributors. For the discussions of the seminar twenty papers span ning a large part of production theory were prepared and these papers are herewith published as a coherent collection under the title: KARLSRUHE SEMINAR ON PRODUCTION THEORY. Papers on scalar valued production functions are orga nized in Part 1. Several of these provide new characteri zations of CES productiop functions, partly in connection with technical progress, and two others are related to homothetic production functions. Six papers on multisectoral production models have been included in Parts 2 and 3, addressed in part to problems of dynamic structures, disaggregation and relaxation of simple homogeneity. Turning next to more general production models, Part 4 contains five papers involving set valued production func tionsor production correspondences, dealing with such topics as efficient pOints, stochastic aspects, homogeneity, homo theticity and the law of diminishing returns. 400 pp. Englisch.

Die verwendeten Kontrastmittel (Thorium, Kalium jodid, Kollargol, Argyrol, Wismutsublimat und -bicarbonat) erflillten die von ihm aufgestellten Kriterien 'rapid absorption and excretion without irritation or toxicity' jedoch nicht. Als bestvertragliches Kontrastmittel erwies sich schlieBlich Luft, so daB DANDY 1918 die Luftventrikulographie und 1919 die Pneurnencephalographie inaugurierte. Ohne Kenntnis dieser Arbeiten wurde urn 1920 in Deutschland von BINGEL die Pneumencephalographie zur rontgenographischen Darstellung des Gehirns eingeflihrt. Von Anfang an hafteten der Luft als Kontrastmittel jedoch bestimmte Mangel an. Durch die Einflihrung von Luft in das Liquorsystem kommt es zwangslaufig zu einer Anderung der intrakraniellen Druckverhalt nisse und der Liquorbewegung. Besonders beim Vorliegen eines raum fordernden Prozesses werden diese Druckschwankungen haufig nicht kompensiert, und es kommt zu Massenverschiebungen des Gehirns, die unter Umstanden zu einer Einklemmung im Tentoriumschlitz oder Hinter hauptsloch flihren. Es kann durch die plotz lichen Druckschwankungen auch zur Ruptur von BlutgefaBen im Tumor oder der Ventrikelwand und damit zur todlichen Blutung kommen (127). So ist die relativ hohe Letalitat, die die Luftventrikulographie auch heute noch zur gefahr lichsten neurochirurgischen Untersuchungsmethode macht, zu erklaren. 88 pp. Deutsch.
