In many ways, manufacturers have hit a technology ceiling, meaning that it is increasingly difficult to compete on functionality, technical reliability, or manufacturing costs. Design therefore has become a major battleground for manufacturers, and usability is recognized as its central tenet. This book explains current practice in human factors, identif...

Democracy and democratization are now high on the political agenda, but there is growing indifference to the gap between rich and poor. Political equalities matter more than ever, while economic inequality is accepted almost as a fact of life. It is the separation between economic and political that lies at the heart of this book. Anne Phillips explores the broadening out of debates on democracy to address questions of gender, race, ethnicity,...

The years 1864-5 were a season of desperate battles, but in that time many more Union soldiers were slain behind the Rebel armies, by starvation and exposure, than were killed by cannon and rifle. The country has heard much of the heroism and sacrifices of those loyal youths who fell on the field of battle, it has heard little of the still greater number who died in prison pens. It knows full well how grandly her sons met death in front of the...

A new perspective on the interaction of science, religion and politics in Restoration England, based on discussion of Cumberland's De legibus naturae.

Ulrich Peltzer schreibt einen großen Erinnerungsroman und eine Chronik seiner Generation: Bernhard, Ende dreißig, treibt durch das Berlin der neunziger Jahre. Eine politische Demonstration im Baskenland der siebziger Jahre, die Guardia Civil wartet einsatzbereit im Hintergrund, es kommt zur Straßenschlacht.

This thesis was stimulated throughout the time of my participation in a research project on Dynamic Macroeconomics, supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The starting point was the central question of how to integrate price setting firms in a dynamic disequilibrium model. Almost all recent literature on imperfect competition in macroeconomics applies the objective demand approach by assuming that firms know the true demand curve t...
