Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What can we learn from financial leaders How important are generic leadership talents for a financial genius such as a Morgan, Rothschild or Medici Leadership in Financial Services evaluates the central dimension of leadership. The author uses interviews with over 20 current leaders in finance. He profiles the key dimensions of financial leadership, examines how today's leaders address the key problems of conflict and contrasts leadership in financial services with the global paradigm of leadership.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Modular chemistry involves the assembly of well defined, relatively large functional structures from repetitive units that themselves are molecules of some complexity. The two most visible sources underlying modular chemistry are supramolecular (`self assembly') chemistry and polymer chemistry, but the appeal of the field is to crystallographers, solid-state chemists and physicists, small-molecule organic synthetic chemists, inorganic coordination or main group chemists, photochemists and physicists, surface chemists, electrochemists, carbon or semiconductor cluster chemists, biochemists, biomimetic chemists, biomineral chemists, materials scientists, microscopists and theoreticians, those working in `molecular electronics', nonlinear optics, and with Langmuir-Blodgett or self-assembly monolayers, or liquid crystals. The book captures the tantalizing interdisciplinary nature of the subject, with authors who were encouraged to be daring, provocative and speculative. Reviews of previously published material are not given: instead, the newest results are concentrated on. The result is a peer-reviewed, state of the art volume on where modular chemists stand, where they are going, and what they propose to do when they get there. 700 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics describes recent fundamental advances in the experimental and theoretical study of molecular dynamics and stochastic dynamic simulations, X-ray crystallography and NMR of biomolecules, the structure of proteins and its prediction, time resolved Fourier transform IR spectroscopy of biomolecules, the computation of free energy, applications of vibrational CD of nucleic acids, and solid state NMR. Further presentations include recent advances in UV resonance Raman spectroscopy of biomolecules, semiempirical MO methods, empirical force fields, quantitative studies of the structure of proteins in water by Fourier transform IR, and density functional theory. Metal-ligand interactions, DFT treatment of organometallic and biological systems, and simulation vs. X-ray and far IR experiments are also discussed in some detail. The book provides a broad perspective of the current theoretical aspects and recent experimental findings in the field of biomolecular dynamics, revealing future research trends, especially in areas where theoreticians and experimentalists could fruitfully collaborate. 340 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The International Association for Sediment Water Science sponsors a symposium triennially, during which the latest developments in the study of interactions between sediments and their overlying waters are presented. These Proceedings are a collection of papers submitted following the 7th Symposium held in Baveno, Italy, during 22-25 September, 1996. The study of sediment/water interactions crosses disciplinary and ecosystem boundaries. The work presented in this volume demonstrates the importance of multidisciplinarity to the field with papers included in the general subject areas of sediment/water dynamics, sediment/contaminant interactions, the role of sediments in element cycles, the use of sediments as historical indicators, sediment/organism interactions, and studies of sedimentary environments in remote areas. This book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, government regulators and environmental managers working in many areas of environmental protection and management including sedimentary geochemistry, water quality management, particle dynamics and reconstruction of environmental history. 756 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The first comprehensive attempt to explore the issues raised by genetic counselling across cultures. It will be of interest to health professionals and to students and lecturers in the social, behavioural and political sciences and in genetics, medicine and nursing. The meaning and relevance of kinship and ethnicity in the context of genetic disease, cultural issues that have arisen in practice, including the influence of the lay public's beliefs about inheritance and the wider social and political context of genetics and genetic disease are all explored in depth. 272 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the premodern period, Japan had significant political, economic and cultural relations with Korea. This book purports that this period, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, was the formative stage of the East Asian diplomacy and ideology which laid the foundations for foreign relations between these two countries in the modern period. The book also investigates how Japan's and Korea's political and diplomatic ideologies emerged as a nascent form of nationalism which scholars have not previously clarified. 312 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of this book is to support industry in their effort to design environ mentally friendly products. The book comprises a method and a manual for life cycle assessment of products and it includes examples of how industrial companies have used the method succesfully in the design of more environ mentally friendly products. The method has been developed over a period of four years under the Danish EDIP programme (Environmental Design of Industrial Products) by a team representing the Technical University of Denmark, five Danish industrial companies, the Confederation of Danish Industries and the Dan ish Environmental Protection Agency. The method is coheherent and opera tional and it is well documented by a large variety of examples including five different complex electromechanical products. It guides the user through the inventory and assessment of environmental impacts of products and shows how various products and design solutions during product development can be compared. The method is supported by a base of data for the assessments of environmental impacts and is thus designed as a tool which will make it possible for the user to start on life cycle assessment at once. The book also guides the user through the identification of environmental improvement potentials in the product and the setting of environmental specifications with in the general concept of overall commercial optimization. The partnership between industry, authorities and university has been highly fruitful. 543 pp. Englisch.…
