Since her death in 2011, the legendary Surrealist Leonora Carrington has been reconstructed and reinvented many times over. In this book, Gabriel Weisz Carrington draws on remembered conversations and events to demythologise his mother, revealing the woman and the artist behind the iconic persona. He travels between Leonora's native England and adopted homeland of Mexico, making stops in New York and Paris and meeting some of the remarkable figures she associated with, from Max Ernst and Andre Breton to Remedios Varo and Alejandro Jodorowsky. At the same time, he strives to depict a complex and very real Surrealist creator, exploring Leonora not simply in relation to her romantic partners or social milieus but as the artist she always was. A textured portrait emerges from conversations, memories, stories and Leonora's engagement with the books that she read. -- .

This work deals with the issue of geodetic network structures, i.e. methods of verifying the condition of existing geodetic controls in terms of their compatibility and thereby their applicability. The presented work addresses these problems only for geodetic controls on a local scale. This is a common surveying issue in a number of countries, especially where there are concerns about the quality of the structure and homogeneity of national spatial and triangulation networks. There is a need for verification, not only for the use of terrestrial methods of determination of points but also for other surveying technology, since all technology operates with a certain threshold accuracy and using physical marks located on an unstable earth surface as survey control points. Issues of the compatibility of points whose coordinates are defined as functions of time by specific equations with respect to basal positions of points at certain epochs (points in systems ITRS, ETRS and others) are not considered.

Nach der "Postmoderne" kann vom Gewissen als einer identitatsstiftenden Instanz keine Rede mehr sein. Zuruck bleibt eine Leerstelle, deren dauerhafte und einseitige Besetzung gerade vom widersprechenden Gewissen verhindert wird. Gewissen, das nicht mehr von einer hoheren Position aus erkennt oder aus tieferer Einsicht urteilt, erscheint nun vielmehr als "Platzhalter", ohne selbst den Platz zu beanspruchen. Es vermag nicht Gewissheit zu geben, sondern irritiert vermeintliche Gewissheiten. Damit ist Gewissen keine Instanz, die uber gut oder bose richtet und entscheidet, was getan oder gelassen werden soll. Als Differenzerfahrung druckt Gewissen Widerspruche aus und bietet Anlasse zum Anderswerden. Insofern kann Gewissen nicht gebildet werden, sondern fordert Bildung heraus.

How does ADHD manifest itself in adult life? In general, the authors write, hyperactivity tends to diminish with age, impulsivity changes quality, and attention problems remain the same although they may become more disabling as organizational demands increase. The authors carefully answer the questions often posed by professionals and patients about these symptoms and other issues. They describe the diagnostic interview and the use of rating scales and include examples of the scales. They also provide a well-balanced review of associated psychiatric conditions, such as mood and anxiety disorders, Tourette's syndrome, oppositional and conduct problems, and substance abuse. Descriptions of all the primary approaches to treatment--medication, psychological therapies, and environmental restructuring--include vivid case examples.
