Abelian varieties and their moduli are a central topic of increasing importance in todays mathematics. Applications range from algebraic geometry and number theory to mathematical physics.
The present collection of 17 refereed articles originates from the third "Texel Conference" held in 1999. Leading experts discuss and study the structure of the moduli spaces of abelian varieties and related spaces, giving an excellent view of the state of the art in this field.
The book will appeal to pure mathematicians, especially algebraic geometers and number theorists, but will also be relevant for researchers in mathematical physics.

Should governments give special rights to ethnic and cultural minorities? Should rich countries open their borders to economic immigrants or transfer resources to poor countries? When framing and implementing economic and environmental policies, should current generations take into account the interests of future generations? If our political community committed a wrong against another group a hundred years ago, do we owe reparations to current members of that group?
These are just some of the pressing questions which are fully explored in this accessible new analysis of justice in the contemporary world. They force us to reconsider the extent of our obligations to our fellow citizens, future generations and foreigners.

Justice in a Changing World introduces the moral debates around issues such as immigration, national self-determination, cultural rights and reparations, as well as resource transfers from one generation to the next and from rich to poor countries, through the lenses of liberalism, communitarianism and libertarianism. In so doing, it helps to unravel the complexity of key ethical dilemmas facing us today.
The book will be a valuable resource for students of political theory, and will appeal to anyone wishing to reflect on their deepest values and commitments by putting them to the test of practical politics.

Since the early twentieth century at the latest, Scandinavian and Baltic artists have been represented in numerous important international exhibitions and countless European publications. Viking Eggeling, Henrik Olvi, Thorvald Hellesen, Otto Carlsund, Franciska Clausen, Alexandra Belcova, Gustav Klutsis, and GAN closely collaborated with avant-garde artists such as Fernand Leger, Theo van Doesburg, Amedee Ozenfant, Le Corbusier, and Juan Gris. However, they experienced a lack of understanding and rejection upon returning to their home countries, where their art was considered irrelevant and condemned in terms of national identity and historiography. Most of them have not been included in the main narrative of the international European avant-garde. This pioneering publication repositions their work between 1918 and 1931 with respect to the international movements of the time and sheds light on their shared global visions.

Vorhaben wie der Ausbau des Flughafens Berlin- Schonefeld rucken die vielschichtigen Diskussionen um das Thema Flughafenplanung in der Planungspraxis immer wieder in den Brennpunkt. Solche Verfahren zeichnen sich namlich durch Interessenkonflikte aus, denen zahlreiche gegenlaufige Belange mit erheblichem Streitpotenzial zu Grunde liegen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung befasst sich daher mit den verschiedenen Aspekten der Flughafenplanung. Dabei wird nicht nur auf die unterschiedlichen Auspragungen von Planungsverfahren eingegangen, sondern es werden unter anderem auch die Beteiligungsrechte und Rechtsschutzmoglichkeiten im Planungsverfahren eingehend betrachtet. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bilden auch die Ausfuhrungen zum Fluglarmschutz. Durch diese Vielseitigkeit der untersuchten Fragestellungen liefert die Arbeit sowohl fur die Wissenschaft als auch fur die Praxis wertvolle Erkenntnisse.
