In the nineteenth century, German Liberalism grew into a powerful
political movement vociferous in its demands for the freedom of the
individual, for changes to allow the participation of all men in
the political system and for a fundamental reform of the German
states. As elsewhere in Europe, Liberalism was linked not only with
a strong social commitment, but also with the formation of a
national state. In this concise and authoritative study of
liberalism in German, Dieter Langewiesche analyses the foundation
and development of German liberalism from the nineteenth to the
twentieth century. He takes into account the most recent research
and scholarship in this field, examining the role of individual
German states, the local roots of liberalism, the links between
liberalism and its social bases of support, especially from
bourgeois groups, and the forms of political organisation adopted
by the liberals. The author addresses issues fundamental to an
understanding of liberalism in Germany and the formation of the
modern German state.

Nanospectroscopy addresses the spectroscopy of very small objects
down to single molecules or atoms, or high-resolution spectroscopy
performed on regions much smaller than the wavelength of light,
revealing their local optical, electronic and chemical properties.
This work highlights modern examples where optical nanospectroscopy
is exploited in photonics, optical sensing, medicine, or
state-of-the-art applications in material, chemical and biological
sciences. Examples include the use of nanospectroscopy in such
varied fields as quantum emitters, dyes and two-dimensional
materials, on solar cells, radiation imaging detectors, biosensors
and sensors for explosives, in biomolecular and cancer detection,
food science, and cultural heritage studies.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, New York City was
financially and socially bankrupt, but the art and music scene was
flourishing. During these years, the downtown New York music scene
– no wave, hip-hop, disco funk and club culture – shaped
Jean-Michel Basquiat as both a musician and an artist. This
catalogue for a travelling exhibition explores how Basquiat’s
painting has parallels in his music (sampling, cut-up, rapping),
and takes a new look at his production as a writer and a poet in
light of his connections with the then-emerging hip-hop culture.
This beautifully illustrated exhibition catalogue of rarely seen
photographs and images sheds new light on Basquiat as a musician,
exploring how his art and music are related, and how they reflect
on his identity as a Black artist in the United States, the
downtown New York music scene, and contemporary culture.
This book deals with the Neglected Links in economics and society.
These neglected links are the inner bonds and lines which keep the
society and economy together and are almost interconnected although
they are very often treated and discussed separately in different
discourses. Contemporary discussion has forgotten to think
universally and to integrate items into one common field of
observation. Instead, too often particular items are studied and
discussed as being independent of each other without acknowledging
a broader context. The book gives an exemplary instruction on how
to treat reciprocal links and how to work in an interdisciplinary
way, which tackles history, sociology and economics at least. By so
doing, the book as also serves as an educational instruction for
integrative and interdisciplinary science instead of recapitulating
mono-disciplinary approaches. Discussion includes topics such as
social and economic inequality research, limits of rationality, and
orthodoxies and heterodoxies of economic research, as well as a
discussion of the heroes of interdisciplinary thought.
Mark, Manuscripts, and Monotheism is organized into three parts:
Mark's Gospel, Manuscripts and Textual Criticism, and Monotheism
and Early Jesus-Devotion. With contributors hailing from several
different countries, and including both senior and junior scholars,
this volume contains essays penned in honor of Larry W. Hurtado by
engaging and focusing upon these three major emphases in his
scholarship. The result is not only a fitting tribute to one of the
most influential New Testament scholars of present times, but also
a welcome survey of current scholarship.
The systematic exploration of thermodynamic properties of molten
metals and the physical processes during melt solidification
provide the basis to develop proper modeling tools for computer
assisted materials design to optimize casting processes, production
routes and even find novel and innovative materials. This handbook
concentrates on multicomponent alloys because most of the metallic
materials in daily use are composed of several elements. It covers
important aspects from fundamentals to applications:
- Thermodynamics,
- Microscopic and Macroscopic Dynamics,
- Nd-Fe based Alloys,
- Solidification and Simulation.
The text provides a vital understanding of melt properties and
solidification processes, treating all simulation techniques for
continuous and discrete systems, such as molecular dynamics on an
atomic scale and sharp interface and phase field modeling on a
mesoscopic scale. This is a complete and detailed picture of
complex simulation of metallic alloy melts their solidification
behaviour for materials scientists, solid state physicists and
chemists, and those working in the metal processing industry.
The reports given in the handbook describe scientific results of a
priority program (DFG SPP1120) funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft over a period of six years.

Whether you're a project manager, engineer, inventor, student,
professional consultant, or executive, you need to know if
structures are strong enough to do their jobs and maintain the
safety of the public. He provides a comprehensive explanation of
the four steps that must be undertaken to assess the structure
safely: finding the loads and forces it must endure; applying some
safety factors; finding the structural details and calculating the
stresses; comparing the stresses to the material strengths. He does
this all without requiring readers to do extensive mathematics, and
he also outlines when it's time to seek help from a professional
consultant to answer that critical question: Is it Strong Enough?"

How are artificial intelligence (AI) and the strong claims made by
their philosophical representatives to be understood and evaluated
from a Kantian perspective? Conversely, what can we learn from AI
and its functions about Kantian philosophy's claims to validity?
This volume focuses on various aspects, such as the self, the
spirit, self-consciousness, ethics, law, and aesthetics to answer
these questions.

Designers with content mapped against BSI Flex 8670 and PAS 8671
that enables readers to demonstrate their competence.
The agricultural sector of medicinal (including plant stimulants)
and aromatic plants is characterized by an enormous number and
diversity of species. Only a few of them can be considered
cultivated crops in which significant breeding efforts are made.
For most species, however, breeding is performed in short-term
projects only. Therefore, basic knowledge about these species is
still fragmentary. Our intention is to compile and organize the
available information on the most commonly utilized plant species
into one publication, thereby providing a standardized resource for
the researchers and the grower community. This book therefore
provides reference source materials for a wide variety of plant
species used for human consumption due to their flavor, medicinal
or recreational properties. It is divided into a section of general
topics on genetic resources, breeding adaptation of analytic
methods and a compilation of basic data for DNA content, chromosome
number and mating system followed by a section of 20 monographs on
a species or species groups.
