Donna Gabaccia invites us to consider: If we are what we eat, who are we?

The introduction of new public management first in the UK and subsequently in most other European member states has been the subject of a great deal of interest within the last decade.

She is "daughter", too, o...

A very comprehensive book, enabling the reader to understand the basic formalisms used in electronic structure determination and particularly the "Muffin Tin Orbitals" methods. The latest developments are presented, providing a very detailed description of the "Full Potential" schemes. This book will provide a real state of the art, since almost all of the contributions on formalism have not been, and will not be, published elsewhere. This boo...

This is the history of Dutch influence on Japan during the so-called 'closed centuries' between 1640 and 1853. Dutch maritime traders provided the only commercial link which Japan maintained with the west, and were thus the sole channel for western ideas and knowledge to reach neo-Confucian society. Professor Goodman explains the circumstances of the Dutch themselves in Japan during the seventeenth century, and the historical and intellectual ...

Im Jahre 1921 erschien in der "Encyklopädie der Mathematischen Wissenschaften" der Aufsatz "Relativitätstheorie" des erst 21-jährigen Studenten Wolfgang Pauli, der als Gesamtdarstellung der Speziellen und Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie angelegt war und in dieser Funktion sofort eine bis heute vielzitierte Standardreferenz wurde. Auf frische und kritische Art diskutiert Pauli besonders die Grundlagen dieser Theorien, auf denen unser Verständni...

The authors demonstrate that the essential information about order in, and energy levels of physical systems is encapsulated in the second order reduced density matrix. They have discovered an algorithm to obtain a reasonable accurate expression for the 2-matrix of an N-particle state to make nearly all properties of matter which are of interest to chemists and physicists accessible.

In the euphoria that followed the departure of Haiti's hated dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier, most Haitian and foreign analysts treated the regimes of the two Duvaliers, father and son, as a historical nightmare created by the malevolent minds of the leaders and their supporters. Yet the crisis, economic and political, that faces this small Caribbean nation did not begin with the dictatorship, and is far from being solved, despite its departure...

Nell Dunn's scenes of London life, as it was lived in the early Sixties in the industrial slums of Battersea, have few parallels in contemporary writing. The exuberant, uninhibited, disparate world she found in the tired old streets and under the railway arches is recaptured in these closely linked sketches, and the result is pure alchemy. In the space of 120 perfect pages, we witness clip-joint hustles, petty thieving, candid sexual encounter...
