Organisational Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies critically reflects upon 14 studies by researchers such as Gilbreth, French and Raven, Greenberg, and Schein, that have long been considered foundational. Written and edited by leading scholars, this book invites you to think about the limitations of the classic studies, put theory into practice, and consider, in-depth, the lasting impact of these key studies on the field today. Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level of engagement both with the details of the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution. Edited by leading scholars in their field and written by researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, the chapters in each text provide details of the original works and their theoretical and empirical impact, and then discuss the ways in which thinking and research has advanced in the years since the studies were conducted. Niklas K. Steffens is Director of the Centre for Business and Organisational Psychology and Senior Lecturer at The University of Queensland. Floor Rink is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the University of Groningen. Michelle K. Ryan is the inaugural Director of the Global Institute of Women's Leadership, and Professor of Social and Organisational Psychology at The Australian National University.

The international summer school on Calculus of Variations and Geometric Evolution Problems was held at Cetraro, Italy, 1996. The contributions to this volume reflect quite closely the lectures given at Cetraro which have provided an image of a fairly broad field in analysis where in recent years we have seen many important contributions. Among the topics treated in the courses were variational methods for Ginzburg-Landau equations, variational models for microstructure and phase transitions, a variational treatment of the Plateau problem for surfaces of prescribed mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds - both from the classical point of view and in the setting of geometric measure theory.

Anatomische und physiologische Grundkenntnisse sind zweifellos fur angehende Krankenschwestern, Arzthelferinnen, Diatassisten- tinnen, Krankengymnasten oder Medizinstudenten gleichermassen wichtig. Ohne Zweifel ist der Wissensbedarf auf diesen Gebieten in den einzelnen Berufsgruppen recht unterschiedlich. Eines ist jedoch allen in Heilberufen Tatigen gemeinsam: Ohne solide Kennt- nisse der Form und Funktion des gesunden Menschen ist das Ver- standnis der krankhaften Abweichungen und ihrer Therapie nicht moeglich. Wahrscheinlich spreche ich vielen Berufsanfangern aus der Seele, wenn ich feststelle, dass der Einstieg in die medizinischen Grund- lagenwissenschaften Anatomie und Physiologie oft nicht gerade leicht fallt. Um den Einstieg in dieses so wichtige Gebiet zu erleichtern, wurden die medizinischen Grundkenntnisse in Frage und Antwort dargestellt. Lesen Sie einemal einige Seiten eines konventionellen Lehr- buches und prufen Sie sich dabei einmal selbst, wie rasch Ihre Aufmerksamkeit abschweift und schliesslich ganz nachlasst. In dem hier vorliegenden Buch sind die einzelnen Lernschritte fein ab- gestuft und - wo immer dies moeglich ist - logisch miteinander verknupft. Jede Frage und Antwort ermoeglicht nicht nur eine unmittelbare Kontrolle des Gelernten fur Sie selbst; jede Frage erzwingt auch von neuem Ihre. Konzentration auf einen kleinen uberschau- baren Teilaspekt eines groesseren Gesamtzusammenhangs. Seine Aufgabe erfullt das Buch sicherlich dann am besten, wenn es kontinuierlich zum entsprechenden Unterricht benutzt wird. So gebraucht, leistet es jedoch auch vor jedem Examen eine hervorragende Selbstkontrolle.
