Originally published in 1990, this book contains the full text and translation of razos and troubadour songs. The coupling of the razos and songs in this edition is based on the conviction that though the lyrics should first be read on their own, it is highly instructive to read the two together, as the razo authors intended. This allows the reader to attempt to read as a thirteenth-century contemporary might have.

Originally published in 1988, this book is a complete translation of The Byelorussian Tristan, alongside textual notes.

Investment Banking: Institutions, Politics, and Law provides an economic rationale for the dominant role of investment banks in the capital markets, and uses it to explain both the historical evolution of the investment banking industry and also recent changes to its organization. Although investment decisions rely upon price-relevant information, it is impossible to establish property rights over it and hence it is very hard to coordinate its exchange. The authors argue that investment banks help to resolve this problem by managing "information marketplaces," within which extra-legal institutions support the production and dissemination of information that is important to investors. Reputations and relationships are more important in fulfilling this role than financial capital.
The authors substantiate their theory with reference to the industry's evolution during the last three centuries. They show how investment banking networks were formed, and identify the informal contracts that they supported. This historical development points to tensions between the relational contracting of investment banks and the regulatory impulses of the State, thus providing some explanation for the periodic large-scale State intervention in the operation of capital markets. Their theory also provides a technological explanation for the massive restructuring of the capital markets in recent decades, which the authors argue can be used to think about the likely future direction of the investment banking industry.

The constant in architecture's evolution is change. Adaptive Architecture explores structures, or environments that accommodate multiple functions at the same time, sequentially, or at periodically recurring events. It demonstrates how changing technological, economic, ecological and social conditions have altered the playing field for architecture from the design of single purpose structures to the design of interacting systems of synergistically interdependent, distributed buildings. Including contributors from the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Germany and South Africa, the essays are woven into a five-part framework which provides a broad and unique treatment of this important and timely issue.

The most comprehensive anthology of medieval lyrics ever published in English. 110 authors, including 9 women; 295 selections, including some hymns and narratives; 11 photographs; and 14 Linguistic areas.

Architecture and Health recognizes the built environment and health as inextricable encouraging a new mind-set for the profession. Over 40 international award-winning projects are included to explore innovative design principles linked to health outcomes. The book is organized into three interdependent health domains-individual, community, and global-in which each case study proposes context-specific architectural responses. Case studies include children's hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, elderly housing, mental health facilities, cancer support centers, clinics, healthy communities, healthcare campuses, wellness centers, healing gardens, commercial offices, infrastructure for developing countries, sustainable design, and more. Representing the United States, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia, each author brings a new perspective to health and its related architectural response. This book brings a timely focus to a subject matter commonly constricted by normative building practices and transforms the dialogue into one of creativity and innovation. With over 200 color images, this book is an essential read for architects, designers, and students to explore and analyze designed environments that promote health and well-being.

The Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos (*1971) is famous internation-ally for her three- dimensional works, in which she explores the boundaries between tradi tion and modernism, high and everyday culture, craftsmanship and industrial production in a work rich in allusions. Objects and installations from the last 20 years provide an insight into her fascinating uvre. In her mostly monumental works Joana Vasconcelos links different materials, fabrics and items in daily use to create an unconventional form of surreal object art. Her works treat questions of cultural identity and gender dimensions and show points of contact to artistic strategies which also inspired Max Ernst and the Surrealists. The publication to accompany the artist's first museum exhibition in Germany presents early and current works in combination with installation views and provides an in-depth insight into the unusual working methods adopted by Joana Vasconcelos.

A. Die problemgerechte Dars. tellung von Finanzierungsvorgangen Akzeptiert man die These: "The logical way for an economist to study finance is to study it as a market problem, 1), so wirft man die Frage nach dem charakter des Marktes oder der Markte auf, deren Studium Er- kenntnisse vermitteln solI, die zu der LBsung von Fragen der Unterneh- mensfinanzierung beitragen. Wesentliches Charakteristikum der Markte ist die Eigenart der Giiter, die auf ihnen gehandel t werden: "The market is a place where commodities are exchanged". 2) Zu der Ableitung von Be- dingungen, unter denen die GUter auf dem Markt gehandelt werden, ist Uber die Charakterisierung der gehandelten GUter hinaus die Spezifi- kation der am Markt agierenden Wirtschaftssubjekte in ihren Zielen und HandlungsmBglichkeiten notwendig, da nur aus dem Zusammenwirken dieser Gegebenheiten die Marktvorgange zu erklaren sind. Die Frage nach den GUtern, die auf den hier in Rede stehenden Markten gehandelt werden, ist vordergrUndig leicht zu beantworten: Es handelt sich urn abstrakte Rechts- titel, urn "titles to property in shares of ., . social wealth". 3) Welche Charakteristika zu dem Zwecke einer problemgerechten Beschreibung dieser Rechtstitel unter der Vielzahl der denkbaren Merkmale auszuwahlen sind, hangt mit dem zweiten Spezifikationserfordernis zusammen, welches die Ziele und HandlungsmBglichkeiten der Marktteilnehmer betrifft.
