Originally published in 1722-23, this edition in 1968. "An account of the Government of that country, both civil and ecclesiastical; of the Czar's forces by sea and land, the regulation of his finances, the several methods he made use of to civilize his people and improve the country, his transactions with several Eastern Princes, and what happened most remarkable at his court, particularly in relation to the late Czarewitz, from the year 1714, to 1720. The whole being the journal of a foreign minister who resided in Russia at that time. With a description of Petersbourg and Cronslot, and several other pieces relating to the affairs of Russia."

Published in 1968, this second volume embarks on the journeys of Laurence Lang, and Le Brun through Russia and other countries. Weber also delves into the criminal proceedings against the late czarewitz, the justification of the Swedish war against Russia and many more topics involving the politics and government of Russia as a country through European eyes.

These proceedings contain the papers of IFIP/SEC 2010. It was a special honour and privilege to chair the Program Committee and prepare the proceedings for this conf- ence, which is the 25th in a series of well-established international conferences on security and privacy organized annually by Technical Committee 11 (TC-11) of IFIP. Moreover, in 2010 it is part of the IFIP World Computer Congress 2010 celebrating both the Golden Jubilee of IFIP (founded in 1960) and the Silver Jubilee of the SEC conference in the exciting city of Brisbane, Australia, during September 20-23. The call for papers went out with the challenging motto of "Security & Privacy Silver Linings in the Cloud" building a bridge between the long standing issues of security and privacy and the most recent developments in information and commu- cation technology. It attracted 102 submissions. All of them were evaluated on the basis of their significance, novelty, and technical quality by at least five member of the Program Committee. The Program Committee meeting was held electronically over a period of a week. Of the papers submitted, 25 were selected for presentation at the conference; the acceptance rate was therefore as low as 24. 5% making SEC 2010 a highly competitive forum. One of those 25 submissions could unfortunately not be included in the proceedings, as none of its authors registered in time to present the paper at the conference.

this study represents the first fundamental work on the literary scholar Max Kommerell (1902?1944), a representative of intellectual life in Germany. Due to his contacts to the Stefan George circle and to Frankfurt and Marburg university life of the 1930s and 1940s, he was firmly rooted in the network of the intellectual discourse of that time. Being exceptionally talented, both as a writer and scholar, Kommerell represents a highly important chapter of German and European cultural and intellectual history of the first half of the 20th century which thus far has only been partially researched.

Knowledge creation and technological experiences resulting from modern production life cycles are definitely the most Economical and important intellectual capitals in the current manufacturing endeavors. These are also the basis for enabling industrial competition through managing and identifying organizational and product related needs and opportunities; e. g. health care systems society needs clean environment, sustainable production life cycles needs flexible approachable design and engineering of materials whilst valuable materials are needed for renewable energies and the production of fuel cells. Integration of components, design of structures and managing knowledge inherent in engineering is a difficult and complex endeavor. A wide range of advanced technologies such as smart materials and their approaches in alternative energy have to be invoked in providing assistance for knowledge requirements ranging from acquisition, modeling, (re)using, retrieving, sharing, publishing and maintaining of knowledge. Integration, Design and management with regards to knowledge management originates at least on three roots.

Vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussion um Feminismus und Geschlechtsrollenidentitaten in der modernen Gesellschaft beschaftigt sich das Buch mit dem Symptom der Anorexie und Bulimie und dem Verhaltnis zwischen medizinischen Phanomenen und der gesellschaftlichen Interpretation. Die mannliche Anorexie wird verstanden als gesellschaftlich definierte Storung. Das Buch ist somit eine exemplarische Darstellung der Wechselwirkung zwischen psychischen und gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeiten und ihrer theoretischen Begrifflichkeit."

Das vorliegende Buch Technisches Zeichnen - Grundkurs bietet eine schrittweise Einfuh- rung in die Grundlagen und die Praxis des technischen Zeichnens. Es wendet sich an Ler- nende in einer gewerblich-technischen Berufsausbildung, an angehende Techniker und sowie an Ingenieur-Studenten an Fachhochschulen und Technischen Hochschulen/Universitaten, die erstmals mit dem Problem des Lesens und Anfertigens von technischen Zeichnungen konfrontiert werden und sich schnell und fundiert in die Materie einarbeiten wollen. Das Buch vermittelt neben Fakten- auch Hintergrundwissen, um den Lernprozess zu beschleuni- gen und zu intensivieren. Aus diesem Grunde wurde auch das Kapitel uber die Regeln und Verfahren der Darstellenden Geometrie aufgenommen, da sie die Grundlage vieler Regeln und Verfahren des technischen Zeichnens sind. Alle Lernschritte koennen zudem mit Hilfe der UEbungsaufgaben (am Ende jedes Kapitels) und ihrer Loesungen (im Anhang) im Selbst- studium kontrolliert und vertieft werden. Das Buch basiert auf einer Serie von Studienheften von Paul Otto sowie auf Vorlesungs- manuskripten und UEbungen von Christian Weber und Susanna Labisch, die sich in verschie- denen Lehrveranstaltungen bisher schon bestens bewahrt haben. Einerseits auf der Basis der mit diesen Unterlagen gemachten Erfahrungen und andererseits im Hinblick auf die gerade in jungster Zeit stark veranderte (internationalisierte) Normung wurden aber erhebliche UEberar- beitungen, zum Teil auch Erganzungen vorgenommen. In Kurze wird der auf der gleichen Basis aufbauende Folgeband Technisches Zeichnen - Aufbaukurs erscheinen, der sich im Stile einer einfuhrenden UEbersicht mit den wichtig- sten Maschinenelementen und ihrer korrekten Darstellung in technischen Zeichnungen be- schaftigen wird.

Dieses Buch vermittelt dem Studierenden systemneutrale Kenntnisse von CAD-/CAM-Systemen, wie sie heute im Studium vermittelt werden. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei weniger Marktubersichten oder theoretische Grundlagen, als vielmehr Kenntnisse, wie sie von Fuhrungskraften benoetigt werden.
