These books grew out of the perception that a number of important conceptual and theoretical advances in research on small group behavior had developed in recent years, but were scattered in rather fragmentary fashion across a diverse literature. Thus, it seemed useful to encourage the formulation of summary accounts. A conference was held in Hamburg with the aim of not only encouraging such developments, but also encouraging the integration of theoretical approaches where possible. These two volumes are the result. Current research on small groups falls roughly into two moderately broad categories, and this classification is reflected in the two books. Volume I addresses theoretical problems associated with the consensual action of task-oriented small groups, whereas Volume II focuses on interpersonal relations and social processes within such groups. The two volumes differ somewhat in that the conceptual work of Volume I tends to address rather strictly defined problems of consensual action, some approaches tending to the axiomatic, whereas the conceptual work described in Volume II is generally less formal and rather general in focus. However, both volumes represent current conceptual work in small group research and can claim to have achieved the original purpose of up-to-date conceptual summaries of progress on new theoretical work.

Die Verfasser dieses Buches arbeiten bereits seit langerer Zeit an der Entwicklung und Berechnung von Sandwichkonstruktionen. MaBgebende Impulse zu den Entwicklungsarbeiten stammen von Herrn Prof. OTTO JUNGBLUTH, dessen Mitarbeiter einer der beiden Verfasser dieses Buches (H. WITTE) mehrere Jahre lang war. Der Inhalt dieses Buches ist eine zu- sammenfassende Darstellung eigener Berechnungen, zahlreicher Veroffent- lichungen, verschiedener Forschungsarbeiten und der aus einer fruchtbaren Teamarbeit vieler Mitarbeiter entstandenen Erfahrungen. Das vorliegende Buch richtet sich zugleich an den Lernenden und an den praktisch tatigen Ingenieur. Daher wird das Schwergewicht auf eine griind- liche Herleitung aller mechanischen Grundgleichungen, auf iiberschaubare Berechnungsbeispiele und auf eine iibersichtliche, teilweise schematisierte Darstellung der fertigungstechnischen und konstruktiven Einzelheiten ge- legt. Wegen des groBen Umfangs werden einige Probleme, so z. B. Kriechen, Schwingungen oder Korperschalldampfung von Sandwich platten, nur kurz behandelt. Die getroffene Auswahl der im konstruktiven Teil des Buches beschriebenen Sandwichprodukte und -verfahren stellt keine Bewertung oder Bevorzugung gegeniiber anderen, nicht erwahnten Erzeugnissen und Verfahren dar, sondern dient nur einer iibersichtlichen Darstellung. Das Buch erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollstandigkeit. Die Verfasser danken der Hoesch Werke AG fiir die Genehmigung zur Veroffentlichung der Erfahrungen, die sie bei ihrer Arbeit im Bereich der Forschung und Entwicklung der Hoesch Werke AG gesammelt haben. Sie danken auBerdem den Herren R. KLINKOSCH und E. HAMMER fiir die kriti- sche Priifung der Kapitel 10 bis 12 sowie Herrn E. SCHNEIDER fiir die mit groBer Sorgfalt angefertigten Abbildungen. SchlieBlich danken sie dem Springer-Verlag fiir die gute Zusammenarbeit und die gute Ausstattung des Buches.

In many centers of excellence in Urology, robotic prostatectomy has become the first choice for the surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer owing to benefits such as reduced pain and minimization of impotence and incontinence. This atlas, specifically designed for use by surgeons, provides a beautifully illustrated, step-by-step guide to all aspects of the procedure. The various techniques that can be employed to achieve excellent oncological and functional results are carefully depicted in appropriate detail; for example, nerve-sparing techniques, bladder neck reconstruction, and approaches aimed at the early restoration of continence are clearly described. Special situations, such as prior prostate surgery, a large prostate, and salvage prostatectomy, are also fully covered. The information contained in this atlas will be of great value in enabling surgeons to improve their results and to take full advantage of the benefits of robotic prostatectomy compared with open prostatectomy.

Auf der Grundlage allgemeiner sozialwissenschaftlicher Theorien entwickelt der Autor integrative Konzepte der betriebswirtschaftlichen Analyse und passt diese den spezifischen betriebswirtschaftlichen Erkenntnisinteressen an.

Mit den neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken richten sich betriebswirtschaftliche Rationalisierungsstrategien erstmals grossflachig auf den Buro- und Dienstleistungsbereich. Dieses Buch prasentiert die Ergebnisse einer empirischen Untersuchung aktueller Rationalisierungsmassnahmen und -strategien in Banken und Versicherungen, Industrie und Handel sowie offentlichen Verwaltungen. Es fuhrt zu einem wesentlich erweiterten Verstandnis von Rationalisierung, das auch die Reflexion der normativen und institutionellen Voraussetzungen okonomischen Handelns einschliesst. Die Autoren entwickeln ein neuartiges Konzept kommunikativer Rationalisierung, das an die Stelle verkurzter technokratischer Konzepte tritt."
