Kürzesttexte, Sprüche, Aphorismen, Gedichte, Bonmots und Geistesblitze: Der Wortkünstler Simon Chen lotet die Grenzen der Sprache aus und jongliert mit den Lettern, die die Welt bedeuten. Er demonstriert auf humoristische, poetische und pointierte Art, was Sprache ist und kann, nämlich alles. Und da Sprache nicht zuletzt Bilder erzeugt, reichern ein paar eigenhändige Illustrationen die Sammlung an. "Im Anfang war das Wort" ist das Buch zum gle...

High-pressure mineral physics is a field that is strongly driven by the development of new technology. Fifty years ago, when experimentally achievable pressures were limited to just 25 GPa, little was know about the mineralogy of the Earth's lower mantle. Silicate perovskite, the likely dominant mineral of the deep Earth, was identified only when the high-pressure techniques broke the pressure barrier of 25 GPa in 1970s. However, as the maximu...

This collection of papers on the geometry and topology of submanifolds is taken from meetings held in honour of Professor S.S. Chern. Topics covered include: the classification of timelike Bonnet surfaces, parallel pure spinors on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, harmonic maps, and more.

Correlative Learning: A Basis for Brain and Adaptive Systems provides a bridge between three disciplines: computational neuroscience, neural networks, and signal processing. First, the authors lay down the preliminary neuroscience background for engineers. The book also presents an overview of the role of correlation in the human brain as well as in the adaptive signal processing world, unifies many well-established synaptic adaptations (learn...

This book uses new institutional economics (NIE) to discuss current trends in planning and the institutional shift from government to market via homeowners associations(HOA). The private governance of HOAs actually is not a pure market-oriented planning institution. It has transaction costs stemming from the use of democracy in making collective choices. Its institutional position, therefore, is in the middle between government and Multiple-te...
