The status of contemporary management is presented for hysteroscopy and hysteroscopic surgery, the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding of the adolescent, uterine leiomyomata, genital prolapse, endometrial adenocarcinoma and childhood rhabdomyosarcoma of the vagina and uterus.

This volume examines the tumultuous changes that have occurred and are still occurring in the aftermath of European colonization of the globe from 1492 to 1947. This book ranges widely over the major themes, regions, theories and practices of post colonial study. It presents original essays by the leading proponents of post colonial study in the Americas, Europe, India, Africa, East and West Asia. It provides clear introductions to the major social and political movements underlying colonization and decolonization, accessible histories of the literature and culture, and separate regions affected by European colonization. It features introductory essays on the major thinkers and intellectual schools that have informed strategies of national liberation worldwide. It offers an incisive summary of the long history and theory of modern European colonization in local detail and post colonial scale.

Twenty-five years ago, Michael Green, John Schwarz, and Edward Witten wrote two volumes on string theory. Published during a period of rapid progress in this subject, these volumes were highly influential for a generation of students and researchers. Despite the immense progress that has been made in the field since then, the systematic exposition of the foundations of superstring theory presented in these volumes is just as relevant today as when first published. A self-contained introduction to superstrings, Volume 1 begins with an elementary treatment of the bosonic string, before describing the incorporation of additional degrees of freedom: fermionic degrees of freedom leading to supersymmetry and internal quantum numbers leading to gauge interactions. A detailed discussion of the evaluation of tree-approximation scattering amplitudes is also given. Featuring a new Preface setting the work in context in light of recent advances, this book is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in general relativity and elementary particle theory.

This thorough introduction to Einstein's special theory of relativity is suitable for anyone with a minimum of one year of undergraduate physics with calculus. The authors cover every aspect of special relativity, including the impact of special relativity in quantum theory, with an introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. They also discuss the group theory of the Lorentz group, supersymmetry, and such cutting-edge topics as general relativity, the standard model of elementary particles and its extensions, and superstring theory, giving a survey of important unsolved problems. The book is accompanied by an interactive CD-ROM illustrating classic problems in relativity involving motion.

1m Laufe der letzten 10 Jahre hat Iilich ein Wandel in der der Regelungstheorie zugrundeliegenden Systemtheorie vollzogen. Verbunden mit dem Einsatz digitaler Rechenanlagen fiir die Analyse und Synthese komplexer Regelungs systeme und vor allem auch durch den direkten Einsatz solcher Rechenanlagen als ProzeBrechner bedingt, erganzt in zunehmendem MaBe eine algebraische Systembeschreibung die in der "klassischen" Theorie vorherrschenden Uber tragungs-und Frequenzgangfunktionen. Diese oft als "modern" apostrophierte, eng mit den Begriffen Zustandsvektor, Zustandsraum und Bewegungsgleichungen verkniipfte Systembeschreibung besteht dabei im Grunde nur aus wiederent deckten und modern aufbereiteten altbekannten Methoden der Mechanik und Physik, die im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts entwickelt wurden. Die Einfiihrung der algebraischen Systembeschreibung und der damit ver bundenen Methoden und Verfahren hat sich in den USA und der UdSSR stetig vollzogen und hat auch sehr friih schon in der Ausbildung der Ingenieure an den Hochschulen seinen Niederschlag gefunden. Dennoch sind auch im angel sachsischen Schrifttum im Vergleich zu der groBen Zahl der der klassischen Regelungstheorie gewidmeten Lehrbiicher bisher nur relativ wenige "moderne" Systemtheorien erschienen, und ein guter Teil hiervon ist dariiberhinaus von Mathematikern verfaBt und fiir den Ingenieur nicht immer leicht verstandlich."

Twenty-five years ago, Michael Green, John Schwarz, and Edward Witten wrote two volumes on string theory. Published during a period of rapid progress in this subject, these volumes were highly influential for a generation of students and researchers. Despite the immense progress that has been made in the field since then, the systematic exposition of the foundations of superstring theory presented in these volumes is just as relevant today as when first published. Volume 2 is concerned with the evaluation of one-loop amplitudes, the study of anomalies and phenomenology. It examines the low energy effective field theory analysis of anomalies, the emergence of the gauge groups E8 x E8 and SO(32) and the four-dimensional physics that arises by compactification of six extra dimensions. Featuring a new Preface setting the work in context in light of recent advances, this book is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in high energy physics and astrophysics, as well as mathematicians.

This classic text, a brief yet powerful exposition of the Apostles' Creed, introduces in a fully ecumenical way the basic beliefs that have animated and informed the historical faith of Christians. Renowned theologian Hans Schwarz not only corrects common misunderstandings of core credal convictions. He also guides Christians into the exciting quest for understanding the faith they profess. "What Christians Believe deals with the Christian faith in relation to contemporary challenges such as secularism and science, the holocaust, and nuclear war.in a readable way, without opaque theological jargon. It is an excellent teaching resource for adult discussion groups and for individuals who desire to grow in knowledge and faith." -John Tietjen Bishop of the Metropolitan Chicago Synod of the ELCA "Schwarz's well-written book would be helpful for both congregational groups and individual readers. His answers are not simplistic, nor does he convey the notion that all questions can be satisfactorily resolved. He does, however, draw the reader into the heart of the issues so that one can wrestle with them. I heartily recommend this book." -Herbert Chilstrom Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Hans Schwarz is Professor of Systematic Theology and Contemporary Issues and Director of the Institute of Protestant Theology at the University of Regensburg, Germany. His books include True Faith in the True God: An Introduction to Luther's Life and Thought (Augsburg Books, 1996) and The Christian Church: Biblical Origin, Historical Transformation, and Potential for the Future (Fortress Press, 1982).

After this general survey, I propose to deal with one of Nicholas Rowe's plays. The result of my enquiry will best prove whether it was worth my while to examine the work of this minor dramatist. Criticism has been lavished on the men of genius: why should the less distinguished poets be passed over or dismissed with a sneer? If, therefore, I call attention to the shrouded figure of a half-forgotten poet, it is because this poet has generally been neglected by recent historians of English literature.1 Mr. Gosse, who in the preface to the first edition of his Seventeenth Century Studies evinces such a sympathetic interest in these smaller writers, in whom "the progress of literary history is most clearly to be marked", has in his History of Eighteenth Century Literature room for only two brief allusions to the translator of Boileau's, Lutrin and "the sentimental tragic poet Rowe".2 Professor Korting3 dismisses him with the following disdainful remark ? "N. Rowe ist bekannter durch seine Shakespeare-Ausgabe, als durch seine Dramen, welche iibrigens absolut wert- los sind". 1 I do not, of course, refer to bulkier works, such as Prof. Ward's History of English Dramatic Literature. 8 As regards the translation of Boileau's Lutrin, I may be permitted to point out that Mr. Gosse errs in ascribing it to our poet; Rowe contributed Oiily a memoir of Boileau to a translation of the famous mock-heroic by J. Bell. Cf. Diet, of Nat. Biography. 1 Grundrissder Geschichte derenglischen Literatur,p. 297,par. 267. This is acute enough, to be sure, but with all respect due to the author of the Grundriss, I may not be blamed for assuming his verdict to be based upon second-hand information.

This book provides a thorough introduction to Einstein's special theory of relativity, suitable for anyone with a minimum of one year's university physics with calculus. It is divided into fundamental and advanced topics. The first section starts by recalling the Pythagorean rule and its relation to the geometry of space, then covers every aspect of special relativity, including the history. The second section covers the impact of relativity in quantum theory, with an introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It also goes over the group theory of the Lorentz group, a simple introduction to supersymmetry, and ends with cutting-edge topics such as general relativity, the standard model of elementary particles and its extensions, superstring theory, and a survey of important unsolved problems. Each chapter comes with a set of exercises. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM illustrating, through interactive animation, classic problems in relativity involving motion.

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments. It introduces the basics of perturbative string theory, world-sheet supersymmetry, space-time supersymmetry, conformal field theory and the heterotic string, before describing modern developments, including D-branes, string dualities and M-theory. It then covers string geometry and flux compactifications, applications to cosmology and particle physics, black holes in string theory and M-theory, and the microscopic origin of black-hole entropy. It concludes with Matrix theory, the AdS/CFT duality and its generalizations. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook for a one-year course on string theory. It contains over 120 exercises with solutions, and over 200 homework problems with solutions available on a password protected website for lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521860697.

Professor Murray Gell-Mann is one of the most influential and brilliant scientists of the twentieth century. His work on symmetries, including the invention of the 'quark', in the 1950s and early 1960s has provided a foundation for much of modern particle physics and was recognised by the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1969. This book is a collection of research articles especially written by eminent scientists to celebrate Gell-Mann's 60th birthday, in September 1989. The main body of contributions are concerned with theoretical particle physics and its applications to cosmology.

The discovery by Green and Schwarz in 1984 that ten-dimensional superstring theory is anomaly-free and finite only if the Yang-Mills gauge group is SO(32) or E8 x E8 has made the phenomenological possibilities of superstrings evident. Ths has resulted in a sudden surge of interest in superstrings unification. Since this fast-developing field is new to almost all theoretical physicist, this collection of basic pre-1985 references should be very valuable. This two volumes contain over 1000 pages of reprints plus some introductory comments by J Schwarz.
