Focusing on conceptual origins, this book shows that there is a bond between hominid thinking and hominid evolution, a bond cemented by the living body. This thesis is illustrated in eight paleoanthropological case studies ranging from tool-using/tool-making to counting, sexuality, representation, language, death, and cave art.

In these acrid and poignant stories, Hughes depicted black people colliding--sometimes humorously, more often tragically--with whites in the 1920s and '30s.

In his first novel since the Pulitzer Prize-winning House Made of Dawn, N. Scott Momaday shapes the ancient Kiowa myth of a boy who turned into a bear into a timeless American classic. The Ancient Child juxtaposes Indian lore and Wild West legend into a hypnotic, often lyrical contemporary novel--the story of Locke Setman, known as Set, a Native American raised far from the reservation by his adoptive father. Set feels a strange aching in his ...

Die Flexibilität einer Volkswirtschaft bei sektoralem Strukturwandel gewinnt in zunehmendem Maße an Bedeutung. Die Arbeit untersucht die Rolle der Arbeitsmärkte bei diesen Anpassungsvorgängen. Sie entwickelt einen Rahmen, der es ermöglicht, für verschiedene Situationen wohlfahrtstheoretische Aussagen abzuleiten. Es wird gezeigt, daß die Allokation ineffizient sein kann, wenn (a) die Mobilität der Arbeitskräfte Kosten verursacht, (b) Löhne und ...

This first part presents chapters on models of computation, complexity theory, data structures, and efficient computation in many recognized sub-disciplines of Theoretical Computer Science.

Die Sichtweise, daß Neuerungen für Fortbestand und positive Entwicklung von Unternehmungen notwendig und bedeutend sind, läßt sich bis zum Anfang des Jahrhunderts zurückführen. Bisher vertrat man in Forschung und Praxis jedoch weitgehend die Auffassung, daß Innovationsvorhaben einerseits durch die Gestaltung spezifischer Rahmenbedingungen und andererseits durch gezieltes Innovationsmanagement weitgehend beeinflußbar und lenkbar seien. Mit Hilf...

Die vorliegende Untersuchung deckt mit Hilfe einer empirisch und repräsentativ geführten Befragung von Handwerksbetrieben deren Kapitalsituation auf und unterzieht sie einer tiefgreifenden Analyse. Dabei werden wichtige Kennziffern aus Bilanz und Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung größen- und spartenspezifisch dargestellt sowie zu den Kennziffern des Verarbeitenden Gewerbes vergleichbar gemacht. Die Untersuchung liefert darüber hinaus einen umfassend...

In this book interrelated factor demand models are surveyed. New methods are developed and are analysed empirically using Dutch and U.K. time series data. New methods are discussed for obtaining closed form solutions of linear ratinal expectations models, providing deeper insights into the identification of structural parameters of underlying theoretical models, recently developed time series techniques are applied in order to estimate structu...

Since 1972 the Schools on Nonlinear Physics in Gorky have been a meeting place for Soviet Scientists working in this field. Since 1989 the proceedings appear in English. They present a good cross section of nonlinear physics in the USSR. This third volume emerged from material presented at the 1989 School. It contains sections dealing with nonlinear problems in physics and astrophysics, quantum and solid state physics, dynamical chaos and self...

The European Communications Policy Research Conference has taken place the fourth time since its founding in 1986. The main objective of all conferences held so far was to be a forum where social scientists, economists, engineers as well as lawyers come together to debate about current research in the field of European communications policy. The last three conferences were organized by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies (CCIS...

As a pianist, Glenn Gould was both a showman and a high priest, an artist whose devotion to music was so great that he eschewed the distractions of live performance. That same combination of flamboyance and aesthetic rigor may be found in this collection of Gould's writings, which covers composers from Bach to Terry Riley, performers from Arthur Rubinstein to Petula Clark, and yields unfettered and often heretical opinions on music competition...

Parallelism or concurrency is one of the fundamental concepts in computer science. But in spite of its importance, theoretical methods to handle concurrency are not yet sufficiently developed. This volume presents a comprehensive study of Mazurkiewicz' trace theory from an algebraic-combinatorial point of view. This theory is recognized as an important tool for a rigorous mathematical treatment of concurrent systems. The volume covers several ...

The goal of the International Workshop on Expert Systems in Engineering is to stimulate the flow of information between researchers working on theoretical and applied research topics in this area. It puts special emphasis on new technologies relevant to industrial engineering expert systems, such as model-based diagnosis, qualitative reasoning, planning, and design, and to the conditions in which they operate, in real time, with database suppo...

This book surveys the recent theory of wavelet transforms and its applications in various fields both within mathematics (singular integrals, localization of singularities) and beyond it, in computer vision, the physics of fractals, time-frequency analysis.

This book demonstrates the lively interaction between algebraic topology, very low dimensional topology and combinatorial group theory. Many of the ideas presented are still in their infancy, and it is hoped that the work here will spur others to new and exciting developments. Among the many techniques disussed are the use of obstruction groups to distinguish certain exact sequences and several graph theoretic techniques with applications to t...

The book is an introduction of Gromov's theory of hyperbolic spaces and hyperbolic groups. It contains complete proofs of some basic theorems which are due to Gromov, and emphasizes some important developments on isoperimetric inequalities, automatic groups, and the metric structure on the boundary of a hyperbolic space.

This research monograph provides a self-contained approach to the problem of determining the conditions under which a compact bordered Klein surface S and a finite group G exist, such that G acts as a group of automorphisms in S. The cases dealt with here take G cyclic, abelian, nilpotent or supersoluble and S hyperelliptic or with connected boundary. No advanced knowledge of group theory or hyperbolic geometry is required and three introducto...
