Unabridged audio edition of Dawn French's intriguing new novel.

The three papers offered in this monograph provide a detailed analysis of the insurgency and counterinsurgency campaigns being conducted by Islamist rebels against Russia in the North Caucasus. This conflict is Russia's primary security threat, but it has barely registered on Western minds and is hardly reported in the West as well. To overcome this neglect, these three papers go into great detail concerning the nature of the Islamist challeng...

A mass movement, propaganda, and physical and psychological terror were the components that Hitler believed to be necessary to gain control over a people and a nation, the Nazis used sport as a means to those ends. This two-volume set represents the first comprehensive attempt at examining the association of sport with the Third Reich, and contains over 2, 200 images, the majority of which have never before been published. History, uniforms, i...

Vertrauen ist für das Funktionieren unserer Gesellschaft unabdingbar. Die Bereitschaft, Vertrauen zu riskieren und auf diese Weise positive Beziehungen zu initiieren, erhöht nicht nur die Zufriedenheit des Einzelnen, sie trägt auch in­nerhalb der Gesellschaft insgesamt zu einem Klima gegenseitiger Achtung und Wertschätzung bei. Von daher soll mit der Lektüre dieses Buches das Bemühen um Vertrauen geweckt werden, damit verbunden auch die Überze...

In the last decade or so the growth of single crystals has assumed enormous importance for both academic research, and technology (particu­ larly in the field of 'electronics'). The range of fields involved is great: from electro-optics to metal corrosion, from semiconductors to magnetic bubble materials-one can add to the list almost indefinitely. However, while the general principles of crystal growth can be applied aImost right across the b...

In the eight years since the publication of the second edition of this Guide, psycho­ phannacotherapy has made many advances not only through the discovery of new medications but by the effective directing of their use to an ever-increasing variety of clinical disorders. These welcome developments are reflected in the concurrent growth and development of the Guide itself, which now enters adulthood with renewed vigor. Under the thoughtful and ...

Computer Simulation in Chemical Physics contains the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held at CORISA, Alghero, Sardinia, in September 1992. In the five years that have elapsed since the field was last summarized there have been a number of remarkable advances which have significantly expanded the scope of the methods. Good examples are the Car--Parrinello method, which allows the study of materials with itinerant electrons, the G...

In many ways the last decade has witnessed a surge of interest in the interplay between theoretical physics and some traditional areas of pure mathematics. This book contains the lectures delivered at the NATO-ASI Summer School on `Recent Problems in Mathematical Physics' held at Salamanca, Spain (1992), offering a pedagogical and updated approach to some of the problems that have been at the heart of these events. Among them, we should mentio...

Addresses psychosocial and quality of life concerns for patients who have undergone thoracic surgery. This title includes topics such as: changes in quality of life after pulmonary resection, impact of minimally invasive thoracic surgery on quality of life, and physical, cognitive and emotional dysfunctions resulting from intensive care.

nd During June 13 -June 23 1996, the 2 EL. B. A. Foundation course on Genome, a NATO Advanced Study Institute, was held at Marcian Marina, Isle of Elba, Italy, - sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the EL. B. A. Fundation. The subject of the course was "Genome Structure and Function" with participants selected worldwire from 15 afferent countries. The purpose of the course and of the resulting book is the study of DNA struc...

From the beginnings of modern chemistry, molecular structure has been a lively area of research and speculation. For more than half a century spectroscopy and other methods have been available to characterize the structures and shapes of molecules, particularly those that are rigid. However, most molecules are at least to some degree non-rigid and this non-rigidity plays an important role in such diverse areas as biological activity, energy tr...

The subject of acidity and basicity has enormous economic and technological value while it continues to present significant scientific challenges with prospects for further important technological developments. Historically, technological developments in acidity/basicity have often preceded the scientific understanding of the phenomena involved, certainly in the petroleum industry, a key beneficiarry and user of the concepts of acidity. This p...

Topics in Knot Theory is a state of the art volume which presents surveys of the field by the most famous knot theorists in the world. It also includes the most recent research work by graduate and postgraduate students. The new ideas presented cover racks, imitations, welded braids, wild braids, surgery, computer calculations and plottings, presentations of knot groups and representations of knot and link groups in permutation groups, the com...

In 1990, the SFB (Sonderforschungsbereich) entitled "Selektive Reaktionen Metall-aktivierter Moleküle" was established at the University of Würzburg to promote efficient cooperation between various fields of chemistry and physics. An essential ingredient of this interdisciplinary research project is the periodic holding of meetings in order to present actual results and recent trends in organometallic chemistry and related areas. The third int...

Die Fort- und Weiterbildungskurse der ASG-Fellows sind seit über 10 Jahren ein Fortbildungsprogramm, das sich aus den amerikanischen Instructional-Courses entwickelt hat und mit jeweils 5-6 Schwerpunktthemen bereits fest in den deutschen Orthopäden-Kongreß integriert ist. Die Fortbildungskurse richten sich an angehende Fachärzte für Orthopädie, aber auch an erfahrene Orthopäden in Praxis und Klinik, die sich durch bestausgewiesene Wissenschaft...

Otto von Guericke has been called a neglected genius, overlooked by most modern scholars, scientists, and laymen. He wrote his Experimenta Nova in the seventeenth century in Latin, a dead language for the most part inaccessible to contemporary scientists. Thus isolated by the remoteness of his time and his means of communication, von Guericke has for many years been denied the recognition he deserves in the English speaking world. Indeed, the ...
