Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Das Parlamentsbeteiligungsgesetz (ParlBG) regelt die Zustimmung des Deutschen Bundestages zu Einsätzen der Bundeswehr. Diese finden grundsätzlich multinational statt, also im Rahmen von Bündnissen. In der Wahrnehmung der Bündnispartner besteht zwischen den deutschen Entscheidungsprozessen u…nd einer vertieften Integration von Verteidigungspolitik/ -planung ein Spannungsverhältnis (Stichworte: Souveränitätsverzicht und Vertrauen), wobei das ParlBG z.T. als Hindernis gesehen wird. Ob zu Recht, hat in der Strategic Community eine Debatte ausgelöst. Im März 2014 hat der Bundestag eine Kommission eingesetzt, die den Problembereich binnen Jahresfrist analysieren soll. 56 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book presents a comprehensive history of the many contributions the Jesuits made to science from their founding to the present. It also links the Jesuits dedication to science with their specific spirituality which tries to find God in all things. The book begins with Christopher Clavius, pro…fessor of mathematics in the Roman College between 1567 and 1595, the initiator of this tradition. It covers Jesuits scientific contributions in mathematics, astronomy, physics and cartography up until the suppression of the order by the Pope in 1773. Next, the book details the scientific work the Jesuits pursued after their restoration in 1814. It examines the establishment of a network of observatories throughout the world; details contributions made to the study of tropical hurricanes, earthquakes and terrestrial magnetism and examines such important figures as Angelo Secchi, Stephen J. Perry, James B. Macelwane and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. From their founding to the present, Jesuits have trodden an uncommon path to the frontiers where the Christian message is not yet known. Jesuits' work in science is also an interesting chapter in the general problem of the relation between science and religion. This book provides readers with a complete portrait of the Jesuit scientific tradition. Its engaging story will appeal to those with an interest in the history of science, the history of the relations between science and religion and the history of Jesuits. 277 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The central and distinguishing feature shared by all the contributions made by K. Ito is the extraordinary insight which they convey. Reading his papers, one should try to picture the intellectual setting in which he was working. At the time when he was a student in Tokyo during the late 19…30s, probability theory had only recently entered the age of continuous-time stochastic processes: N. Wiener had accomplished his amazing construction little more than a decade earlier (Wiener, N. , 'Differential space,' J. Math. Phys. 2, (1923)), Levy had hardly begun the mysterious web he was to eventually weave out of Wiener's P~!hs, the generalizations started by Kolmogorov (Kol mogorov, A. N. , 'Uber die analytische Methoden in der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung,' Math Ann. 104 (1931)) and continued by Feller (Feller, W. , 'Zur Theorie der stochastischen Prozesse,' Math Ann. 113, (1936)) appeared to have little if anything to do with probability theory, and the technical measure-theoretic tours de force of J. L. Doob (Doob, J. L. , 'Stochastic processes depending on a continuous parameter, ' TAMS 42 (1937)) still appeared impregnable to all but the most erudite. Thus, even at the established mathematical centers in Russia, Western Europe, and America, the theory of stochastic processes was still in its infancy and the student who was asked to learn the subject had better be one who was ready to test his mettle. 672 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In modern computing a program is usually distributed among several processes. The fundamental challenge when developing reliable and secure distributed programs is to support the cooperation of processes required to execute a common task, even when some of these processes fail. Failures may… range from crashes to adversarial attacks by malicious processes.Cachin, Guerraoui, and Rodrigues present an introductory description of fundamental distributed programming abstractions together with algorithms to implement them in distributed systems, where processes are subject to crashes and malicious attacks. The authors follow an incremental approach by first introducing basic abstractions in simple distributed environments, before moving to more sophisticated abstractions and more challenging environments. Each core chapter is devoted to one topic, covering reliable broadcast, shared memory, consensus, and extensions of consensus. For every topic, many exercises and their solutions enhance the understanding This book represents the second edition of 'Introduction to Reliable Distributed Programming'. Its scope has been extended to include security against malicious actions by non-cooperating processes. This important domain has become widely known under the name 'Byzantine fault-tolerance'. 388 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The landmass on which we live is an integral part of our water catchment. Any human - tivity will inevitably have some consequences on the availability and composition of fresh waters. These consequences are becoming increasingly important and det…ectable as the - man population grows. The problem is to be addressed at the global scale, as frequently, decisions made have inter-regional and international impacts, and must therefore be coor- nated. In a number of European Member States, for example, the availability of water - sources depends on the activities of other upstream countries. The demand for fresh water in Europe, as well as in the world, is increasing. There is an upward pressure on European water demand for public supplies (drinking water, recreation, etc. ), for industry, and for - rigated agriculture. The ecological impacts of different uses are complex, and currently not always predictable. This book should help planners in their decisions on different water management options for human use. Water, of course, is not only relevant as a resource, exploited for human activities, but it is also relevant to aquatic ecosystems and to their quality. Preservation and restoration of the ecological quality of these ecosystems have a major social impact, as it has been stressed in several European Community actions.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The vitreous body long has been the most mysterious of all ocular structures, owing perhaps to its seeming simplicity. There have been few concerted, sustained efforts to unravel the mysteries of how vitreous is composed and what role it plays in normal physiology as well as pathology. Over the y…ears, however, many studies have produced important findings concerning vitreous biochemistry, structure, physiology, and pathobiology. Published on the 25th anniversary of Sebag's first book on Vitreous, this second installment is nearly five times longer than its predecessor, reflecting how much has been learned in the past quarter century. This well-constructed compendium not only addresses the most current scientific knowledge, but also reviews clinical perspectives in a manner that lends richness to the scope of the book. Written by 90 authors, this book has 56 chapters organized into 7 sections: Biochemistry; Anatomy, Development, and Aging; Pathology/Pathobiology; Physiology and Phamacotherapy; Posterior Vitreo-Retinal Surgery; Peripheral Vitreo-Retinal Surgery; and Pharmacologic Vitreolysis. With a foreword by Coleman & Lincoff and an introduction by Wallace Foulds, Sebag's latest tome on vitreous is destined to be the authoritative text for years to come.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A revised survey of Rembrandt's complete painted oeuvre.The question of which 17th-century paintings in Rembrandt's style were actually painted by Rembrandt himself had already become an issue during his lifetime. It is an issue that is still hotly disputed among art historians today.The p…roblem arose because Rembrandt had numerous pupils who learned the art of painting by imitating their master or by assisting him with his work as a portrait painter. He also left pieces unfinished, to be completed by others. The question is how to determine which works were from Rembrandt's own hand. Can we, for example, define the criteria of quality that would allow us to distinguish the master's work from that of his followers Do we yet have methods of investigation that would deliver objective evidence of authenticity To what extent do research techniques used in the physical sciences help Or are we, after all, still dependent on the subjective, expert eye of the connoisseur The book provides answers to these questions. Prof. Ernst van de Wetering, the author of our forthcoming book which deals with these questions, has been closely involved in all aspects of this research since 1968, the year the renowned Rembrandt Research Project (RRP) was founded. In particular, he played an important role in developing new criteria for authentication. Van de Wetering was also witness to the way the often overly zealous tendency to doubt the authenticity of Rembrandt's paintings got out of hand. In this book he re-attributes to the master a substantial number of unjustly rejected Rembrandts. He also was closely involved in the (re)discovery of a considerable number of lost or completely unknown works by Rembrandt.The verdicts of earlier specialists - including the majority of members of the original RRP (up to 1989) - were based on connoisseurship: the self-confidence in one's ability to recognise a specific artist's style and 'hand'. Over the years, Van de Wetering has carried out seminal research into 17th-century studio practice and ideas about art current in Rembrandt's time. In this book he demonstrates the fallibility of traditional connoisseurship, especially in the case of Rembrandt, who was par excellence a searching artist.The methodological implications of this critical view are discussed in an introductory chapter which relates the history of the developments in this turbulent field of research. Van de Wetering's account of his own involvement in it makes this book a lively and sometimes unexpectedly personal account.The catalogue section presents a chronologically ordered survey of Rembrandt's entire painted oeuvre of 336 paintings, richly illustrated and annotated. For all the paintings re-attributed in this book, extensive commentaries have been included that provide a multi-facetted new insight into Rembrandt's world and the world of art-historical research. Rembrandt's Paintings Revisited is the concluding sixth volume of A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings (Volumes I-V; 1982, 1986, 1989, 2005, 2010). It can also be read as a revisionary critique of the first three Volumes published by the old RRP team up till 1989 and of Gerson's influential survey of Rembrandt's painted oeuvre of 1968/69. At the same time, the book is designed as an independent overview that can be used on the basis that anyone seeking more detailed information will be referred to the five previous (digital versions of the) Volumes and the detailed catalogues published in the meantime by the various museums with collections of Rembrandt paintings. This work of art history and art research should belong in the library of every serious art historical institute, university or museum.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Sport hat sich zu einem Wirtschaftszweig von enormer Bedeutung entwickelt. Mit den parallel hierzu verlaufenden Kommerzialisierungs- und Professionalisierungsprozessen ist auch der Bedarf an entsprechend qualifizierten Arbeitskräften enorm gestiegen. Im Mittelpunkt der akademischen Ausb…ildung von Sportmanagern bzw. Sportökonomen steht die Anwendung allgemeiner Erkenntnisse der Wirtschaftswissenschaften auf den Sport. Der Sport weist jedoch eine Vielzahl von Besonderheiten auf, die in den 'allgemeinen' Lehrbüchern der Betriebswirtschaftslehre und des Managements nicht oder nur am Rande behandelt werden. Mit dem vorliegenden Lehrbuch soll diese Lücke geschlossen werden. Es rückt die Besonderheiten von Sport, im Hinblick auf das Produkt, die Nachfrage und die institutionellen Arrangements seiner Bereitstellung auf Märkten und durch Organisationen, in den Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung und stellt für ausgewählte Bereiche die damit verbundenen Konsequenzen für die Betriebsführung vor. 404 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ein Buch, das Mut macht: Die neue Psychologie des posttraumatischen Wachstums Schicksalsschläge müssen uns nicht aus der Bahn werfen. Sie können vielmehr neue Stärken und Lebensperspektiven eröffnen und einen Reifungsprozess anstoßen. Dieses hoffnungsvolle Fazit zieht Stephen Joseph, einer der Weg…bereiter der Psychotraumatologie, aus seiner jahrzehntelangen Arbeit mit traumatisierten Menschen. Sein Buch schlägt einen weiten Bogen: Es schildert Fallgeschichten, macht psychologische Studien nachvollziehbar, zeigt, welche Spuren erschütternde Erlebnisse im Gehirn hinterlassen, und beleuchtet, wie es Menschen gelingt - und wie man sie therapeutisch dabei unterstützen kann -, gestärkt aus emotionalen Katastrophen hervorzugehen. Tsunamis, Gewaltverbrechen, tragische Verkehrsunfälle - solche Erfahrungen, so heißt es, zeichnen die Betroffenen fürs Leben und bürden ihnen posttraumatische Belastungsstörungen auf. Doch der Psychologe Stephen Joseph kommt nach 20 Jahren Forschung zu einem anderen Schluss: Derartige Traumata können zu 'Motoren der inneren Veränderung' werden. Auf Fallstudien gestützt schildert er den emotionalen Tribut traumatischer Erlebnisse, die zugrunde liegende Biologie, die Erscheinungsformen der Resilienz und die große Bandbreite der verfügbaren Therapien . Dies ist ein weitgefasster und plausibler Blick auf die Psychologie des Überlebens. Nature _____Warum im Leid auch eine Chance liegen kann Was geschieht, wenn wir mit dem Schlimmsten konfrontiert sind Gemeinhin herrscht die Vorstellung, ein Trauma zeichne uns für das restliche Leben - mit oft verheerenden Folgen für fast alle Aspekte unseres Alltags, von unserem Schlafzyklus über unsere sozialen Beziehungen bis hin zu unserem Lebenswillen. Doch wie der international renommierte Psychologe und Psychotherapeut Stephen Joseph in diesem Buch zeigt, setzen traumatische Erfahrungen oft auch positive Entwicklungen in Gang und liefern Anstöße zu einerVerbesserung des Lebens: Die Betroffenen erleben gefestigte persönliche Beziehungen, lernen das Leben stärker wertzuschätzen und gelangen zu neuer innerer Stärke. Sie machen eine Erfahrung, die die Psychologen als posttraumatisches Wachstum bezeichnen. Josephs breit angelegtes Buch führt die Weisheit antiker Philosophen, die Einsichten von Evolutionsbiologen, den Optimismus der positiven Psychologen und seine eigenen bahnbrechenden Studien zusammen, um Wege aufzuzeigen, wie Menschen angesichts dramatischer Veränderungen und Widrigkeiten neuen Lebenssinn und neue Lebensziele finden können. Durch das Buch ziehen sich bewegende Geschichten von Menschen, die trotz großen Leids und schmerzlicher Verluste nicht aufgaben . Joseph verleiht den Berühmten und den Unbekannten gleichermaßen eine Stimme, wenn er Geschichten vom Überleben und Aufblühen in persönlichen wie globalen Krisen erzählt. Dabei vermittelt das Buch tiefe Kenntnisse über die Dynamik des posttraumatischen Wachstums und verwandter Theorien. Es stellt eine seltene Meisterleistung dar, ein Buch zu schreiben, das sowohl für die allgemeine Leserschaft als auch für Fachleute und Praktiker reizvoll und nützlich ist. Joseph ist es gelungen. John Harvey, Professor emeritus für Psychologie, University of Iowa 269 pp. Deutsch.

Versicherungen gegen Cyberkriminalität werden zunehmend wichtiger: Angriffe auf die Informationstechnik von Unternehmen können Schäden in Mill…ionenhöhe hinterlassen, beispielsweise wenn sensible Datensätze gestohlen oder Seiten von Online-Shops lahmgelegt werden. Inzwischen bietet die deutsche Versicherungswirtschaft mit speziellen 'Cyber-Policen' Schutz gegen eine Vielzahl von IT-Risiken. Doch wie schlagkräftig ist ein solcher Schutz Welche Versicherer bieten spezielle Cyber-Policen an Welche Gefahren können versichert werden Welche Rolle spielt der Versicherungsvertrieb und worauf sollten Vermittler und Makler achten Das sind nur einige der Fragen, denen Umar Choudhry nachgeht.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dem EU-Lobbying eilt ein schlechter Ruf voraus. Die Brüsseler Lobbyingszene gilt als besonders korrupt und intransparent. Die Bürger assoziieren mit ihr üppige Arbeitsessen und geheime Absprachen. Das negative Image wurde durch Skandale wie die 'Dalligate' oder die 'Cash-for-Amendments-Affä…re' noch verstärkt. Seither treten Lobbyisten lieber als Interessenvertreter, Consultants oder Public Affairs Manager auf. Dabei ist ihre Expertise ein elementarer Bestandteil europäischer Gesetzgebungsprozesse. Die versuchte Einflussnahme ist nicht per se zu verurteilen, wohl aber die mangelnde Transparenz. Die zunehmende Professionalisierung und Differenzierung europäischer Interessen muss daher mit einer gesetzlichen Regulierung einhergehen. 344 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften, erzählt als großes Abenteuer auf dem Weg zu Wissen und ErkenntnisMit Die Naturwissenschaften: Eine Biographie legt Lars Jaeger ein Grundlagenwerk vor, das auch Lesern ohne Vorkenntnisse anschaulich und verständlich in großen verbindenden Bögen die Geschichte… der Naturwissenschaften von ihren Ursprüngen bis heute erzählt und erklärt. Dabei wird nicht nur deutlich, wie sehr das abendländische Denken vom jeweiligen Forschungsstand beeinflusst wurde; der Autor zeigt auch auf, wie wichtig ein Verständnis der Entwicklung der Naturwissenschaften für die kluge Gestaltung unserer Zukunft ist. Denn mit den immer schnelleren technologischen Veränderungen zeichnen sich heute bedeutende Umwälzungen in unserem Denken und Leben ab, die auch neue erkenntnistheoretische und ethische Fragen aufwerfen.Lars Jaeger liefert beides: Orientierungshilfe und spannende Lektüre. Indem er den 'Lebensweg' der Naturwissenschaften in seinerganzen Dramatik beschreibt, gelingt es ihm zugleich, etwas Grundlegendes zu vermitteln: die große Magie des Wissens. Ein Buch zum Eintauchen und Festlesen!Ein wunderbar geschriebenes und kenntnisreiches Buch, das hilft, die unerträgliche Unkenntnis der Wissenschaftsgeschichte zu verringern. Wer die Gegenwart mit ihren technischen Möglichkeiten verstehen will, muss den Weg kennen, den die Wissenschaft dafür bereitet hat. Mit diesem erzählenden Buch kann das mühelos gelingen. Ernst Peter FischerWarum wir die Wissenschaft verstehen müssenUnsere heutige Gesellschaft entfaltet sich in vollständiger Abhängigkeit vom wissenschaftlich-technischen Fortschritt. Insofern ist es erstaunlich, wie wenig wach das Bewusstsein für den Entwicklungsstand der Wissenschaften unter gesellschaftlichen Entscheidungsträgern und Intellektuellen ist. Dabei zeichnen sich vor dem Hintergrund unseres rasant zunehmenden Wissens über die Natur und der daraus erwachsenden technologischen Möglichkeiten bereits die Konturen eines neuen epochalen 'Sprungs der Menschheit' ab. Wir brauchen dafür in der Gesellschaft eine gute Kenntnis der Fundamente unserer Wissenschaft.Doch lassen sich die abstrakten Aussagen komplizierter wissenschaftlicher Theorien wie etwa der Quantenmechanik überhaupt einem breiten Publikum erklären Lars Jaegers Antwort lautet: 'ja'. Und der beste Weg ist die Vermittlung der historischen Entstehung dieser Theorien. Führt man sich die jeweiligen konkreten Fragestellungen, die zu den Paradigmen der modernen Naturwissenschaften führten, vor Augen, offenbaren sich auch sehr abstrakte Naturtheorien als äußerst konkret. Zugleich eröffnet sich durch die Betrachtung der Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften ein Verständnis für das Zusammenspiel wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts mit gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen. So liefert uns dieses Buch nicht nur eine wertvolle Orientierungshilfe für die Herausforderungen der Moderne, sondernes eröffnet uns auch einen ganz neuen Blick in die Ferne. In eine Zukunft, die unmittelbar bevorsteht. 471 pp. Deutsch.
