Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich auf unterschiedliche Weise mit der Politik des Todes, mit Kunst und Politik sowie mit der Politik von Zuflucht und Asyl. Der Schnitt über diese Bereiche bringt die fließende Qualität des gesellschaftlichen Lebens im Spätkapitalismus in den Vordergrund. Die Elemente Zeit, Raum und Emotion sind Teil des Gesamtansatzes. Die einzelnen Kapitel veranschaulichen Themen wie Verzweiflung, Streben und die Politik der Hoffnung und verdeutlichen die fließenden und unvorhersehbaren Qualitäten des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Die Leitmetapher ist Fluidität oder das, was Urry als 'Wellen' bezeichnet; kontinuierlicher Fluss; pulsierend; 'Fluidität und Viskosität' sind charakteristisch für Leben, Tod, Zuflucht und Kunst im heutigen globalen System. Zwischen den Welten Kultur, politischer Gewalt und Kunst beleuchten die miteinander verbundenen Themen dieser Studie Bedingungen der 'Liminalität' oder des Dazwischen. Die Studie präsentiert eine Politik der Hoffnung im Spätkapitalismus und durchbricht die üblicheren Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft, Schaden und Hilfe, Tod und der Politik des bloßen Lebens.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book deconstructs and debunks the lucrative and widespread marriage of quantum physics with pop-spirituality while tracing this pernicious strain of pseudoscience to its source: the founders of quantum mechanics themselves. The association of mystical ideas with modern physics in the self-improvement industry is not new. The 'spookiness' of quantum properties like uncertainty and entanglement has proven fertile ground for new-age mystics and alternative medicine advocates who saw a way to put a scientific veneer on their claims.In the early days, the founders of quantum physics accused it of implying an observer-created reality. Later, Taoists and Wu Li dancers were quantized. Then ancient Indian medicine, Ayurveda, morphed into 'quantum healing.' Little wonderThe Oprah Winfrey Showtold its viewers:thinkabout losing weight, making more money, and falling in love, and you'll become thin, wealthy,and happily married . all based on quantum physics.Criticism of the pseudoscientific misappropriation of quantum physics has been widespread but inadequate; thus far, the scientific community has failed to account for its own role in the fusion of pop-spirituality and quantum physics. As well as thoroughly exploring and debunking quantum mysticism, this book traces the development of quantum mysticism and pulls no punches in exposing the unwitting role of quantum theory's founders in propagating quantum mysticism. 232 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is a gentle introduction for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion ¿ the big bang. For nearly a century cosmologists have studied the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually assembled by gravity. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. It is the subject of the theory of cosmic inflation, which was developed in the last few decades and has led to a radically new global view of the universe.Students and other interested readers will find here a non-technical but conceptually rigorous account of modern cosmological ideas - describing what we know, and how we know it. One of the book's central themes is the scientific quest to find answers to the ultimate cosmic questions: Is the universe finite or infinite Has it existed forever If not, when and how did it come into being Will it ever end The book is based on the undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University. It assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics beyond elementary high school math. The necessary physics background is introduced as it is required. Each chapter includes a list of questions and exercises of varying degree of difficulty.This new edition includes hints for answering the questions and exercises, as well as extensions to the discussions on dark matter, quantum cosmology. A new chapter summarizing the standard cosmological model has also been added.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 408 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Using the 'Parallel Lives' approach adopted by the Greek biographer Plutarch, noted historian of astronomy William Sheehan contrasts the lives and research careers of two famous astronomers, Percival Lowell and Edward Emerson Barnard. Drawing on vast archival materials and hitherto unpublished source materials, Sheehan documents in detail the contributions of these two late 19th and early 20th astronomers.Living at a time when controversies about Mars peaked, when great observatories were being built, and when research increasingly turned away from the Solar System toward the stellar and extra-galactic universe, these observers made spectacular contributions to astronomy. Their work still inspires, and continues in Perseverance rover's explorations of the surface of Mars carrying forward Lowell's dream of showing that Mars may once have been 'the abode of life,' and in Barnard's pioneering wide-angle photographs of the Milky Way which first showed the sweep, majesty and complexity of the Galaxy.The work of decades of research and writing, Sheehan has produced what is likely to become the definitive work on these two great astronomers.'Parallel Lives marks an important contribution to the history of astronomy. The book is masterful and inventive. William Sheehan could hardly have chosen two more compelling-or contrasting-personalities to analyze in this fascinating dual biography.' David Baron, author of American Eclipse and The Martians, and former Chair in Astrobiology at the Library of Congress.'Sheehan has united scientific acumen, detailed historical research, penetrating insight into character, and narrative virtuosity-and adapted it all to an ancient Greek model-a remarkable achievement!'¿¿- Michael Armstrong, Assoc. Prof. Emeritus of Classics, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva NYWilliam Sheehan's many books include the authoritative biography The Immortal Fire Within: The Life and Work of Edward Emerson Barnard and (with Jim Bell) Discovering Mars: A History of Observation and Exploration of the Red Planet, which has been called the 'gold standard of books on Mars' (Michio Kaku).Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 704 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The intension of the book is to synthesize classical matrix and tensor methods with object-oriented software techniques and efficient matrix methods for numerical algorithms. The aim is to establish a coherent methodological framework through which the tensor-based modeling of physical phenomena can be seamlessly applied in numerical algorithms without encountering methodological inconsistencies across different sub-areas, like indexed notation of tensors and two- dimensional matrix algebra in symbolic notation.The key to an effective solution lies in object-oriented numerical structures and software design. The author presents a coherent integration of tensor-based theory through multi-dimensional matrix calculus to object-oriented numeric classes and methods for adequate simulations.The index-based tensor and matrix notation and the object-oriented overloading of standard operators in C++ offers an innovative means to define comparable matrix operations for processing matrix objects of higher order. Typical applications demonstrate the advantages of this unique integration. 244 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This thought-provoking book covers the full range of psychopharmacologic practice in textbook fashion, offering a fresh and comprehensive self-examination. Unlike conventional texts of psychopharmacology, this text speaks directly to clinicians who have started to question the limitations of psychopharmacologic claims and the rigid confines of DSM-5 diagnoses. Drawing from their clinical and research experience as well as new literature, the well-published authors provide a new perspective that encourages readers to reevaluate established practices and embrace that medication is just one component of treatment and has limits. The book could be used by psychiatric residents in their course of study, by clinical psychology students taking a psychopharmacology course, or by psychiatrists curious to get a readable but comprehensive look at new critical viewpoints in psychopharmacology that have changed since they were taught. Many neuroscience students who are looking for areview of clinical effects to guide their basic research may also find the proposed text more useful than those texts that collate clinical trials.Current texts are for specialized scientists or are part of multi-authored texts which list drugs alphabetically with no conceptual framework, or books that pretend that each biochemical drug property has a clear and known clinical result presented in cartoon style. Some lesser known texts for psychology or nursing students are not authoritative. Others aimed at patients or families are too simplistic for clinicians. The authors' goal was to create a unified text expressing their view of psychopharmacology, its evidence base, the unity of its essential principles, and its independence of DSM or ICD diagnosis.Several new history books describe the 'rise and fall' of psychopharmacology, the corruption of big pharma and the failure of large controlled clinical trials. Psychopharmacology Reconsidered: A Concise Guide Exploring the Limits of Diagnosis and Treatment ensures that young clinicians are aware of and understand this critical zeitgeist but aware also of the essential core of psychopharmacology and the evidence upon which it rests.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 236 pp. Englisch. …
