• Aubrey H. Fine is an incredibly well-respected academic in the field of Human-Animal Interactions and is joint by an expert panel of experienced editors. • Hugely interdisciplinary will appeal to students and professionals in the fields of mental health, zoology, veterinary medicine, biology, social work, history, sociology, and psychology. • Chapters address several areas within the field, such as wildlife, animal-assisted interventions, etc., and includes unique sections on different aspects on the relationships between people and animals, such as animal abuse, animal rights, and social justice. • Divided into two parts that covers both principles and practice of human-animal interactions, interventions, and anthrozoology. • Genuinely no other comprehensive book on HAI currently published. • The book is a compilation of chapters and commentaries bringing together the critical dimensions within the field and synthesizing the diversity of thoughts in the present knowledge base. • Written by world-leading experts, the diverse selection of chapters explore existing research, practice, and ethical issues on a range of topics pertinent to HAI, including the perceived benefits (e.g. physical and mental health benefits for humans) and challenges derived (e.g. environmental encroachment and animal abuse) from the relationships.

Written by international experts in this field, the book describes the principles of, and presents case studies for, the wide range of tomographic imaging techniques that can be used in the process industries. It includes sufficient introductory material
to this multi-disciplinary subject in order that readers from a variety of backgrounds will be able to fully understand the fundamental principles and features of the sensors and image reconstruction techniques needed for process tomography.

Materiel culture encompasses the material remains of conflict, from buildings and monuments to artefacts and militia, as well as human remains. This collection of essays, from an international range of contributors, illustrates the diversity in this material record, highlights the difficulties and challenges in preserving, presenting and interpreting it, and above all demonstrates the significant role materiel culture can play in contemporary society. Among the many studies are: * the 'culture of shells' * the archaeology of nuclear testing grounds * Cambodia's 'killing fields' * the Berlin Wall * and the biography of a medal *the reappearance of Argentina's 'disappeared' *World War II concentration camps.

This book encourages and demonstrates an innovative approach to the design and operation of urban wastewater systems: integrated modelling and control. Consideration of sewer system, wastewater treatment plant and receiving water body as a single system (rather than as three moderately independent units as before) opens up new types of analyses and new control algorithms for urban wastewater systems. After a comprehensive review of the literature of various fields including processes affecting water flow and quality in urban wastewater systems and their description by different types of models, this book also introduces some of the fundamental concepts of the operation of such systems. It discusses conventional as well as innovative control approaches - ranging from control by simple set-points to elaborate hierarchical control concepts taking into account the water flow and the quality of sewer systems, treatment plants and receiving water body. Thus it will enable the researcher as well as the practising engineer to analyse and to implement various types of control for a particular case study site.In order to illustrate the concepts developed, a detailed simulation study, covering the complete urban wastewater system, is presented. The conclusions drawn demonstrate that the application of innovative control concepts can lead to improved performance of wastewater systems. In addition, a comprehensive survey of mathematical optimisation methods is presented. This book can assist the practising engineer and the student to gain knowledge of all aspects of wastewater systems. To the researcher, this book provides a thorough survey of existing simulation and control concepts and inspiration for further work.

Subaru and Jaguar provide outstanding examples of what can be achieved when brand development and relationship marketing are combined to create a world class brand. Subaru achieved victory in the World Rally Championship. Jaguar are now an important new player in Grand Prix racing. This book tells the inside stories behind these campaigns and brand building strategies, and will be of interest as compelling case studies of sports sponsorship and brand development.

"A Companion to Plutarch" offers a broad survey of the famous historian and biographer; a coherent, comprehensive, and elegant presentation of Plutarch's thought and influence

Constitutes the first survey of its kind, a unified and accessible guide that offers a comprehensive discussion of all major aspects of Plutarch's oeuvre Provides essential background information on Plutarch's world, including his own circle of influential friends (Greek and Roman), his travels, his political activity, and his relations with Trajan and other emperors Offers contextualizing background, the literary and cultural details that shed light on some of the fundamental aspects of Plutarch's thought Surveys the ideologically crucial reception of the Greek Classical Period in Plutarch's writings Follows the currents of recent serious scholarship, discussing perennial interests, and delving into topics and works not formerly given serious attention

Die 6. Auflage wurde uberarbeitet und erweitert, so dass sie auch als Grundlage fur den Basiskurs in den neueren osteopathischen Techniken verwendet werden kann. Das Kapitel "Grundlagen der Manuellen Medizin" wird durch ein von H. Locher erarbeitetes neurologisches Denkmodell erganzt. Neu hinzugefugt ist der Abschnitt "Bindegewebe" von L. Beyer. G. Marx aktualisierte die "Rontgenuntersuchung der Wirbelsaule." In einem neuen Kapitel "Die Bedeutung der Manuellen Medizin in der Praxis" berichten Kollegen verschiedener Fachgebiete aus allen drei Arzteseminaren der DGMM uber ihre Erfahrungen mit der Manuellen Medizin/Therapie. Es soll Arzte und Physiotherapeuten, welche diese Methode noch nicht kennen, anregen, sich mit ihr zu befassen.

Das erfolgreiche Buch ist eine unentbehrliche Hilfe fur Arzte und Physiotherapeuten - eine fundierte Einfuhrung, die auf das Studium weiterer Literatur und die Teilnahme an praktischen Kursen vorbereitet."

Die quantitative Analyse ist eines der wichtigsten Hilfsmittel, das die Chemie zur Lei sung ihrer Aufgaben auf allen Gebieten brauch . Sie durchdringt aile Bereiche der Chemie und bedient sich in gleicher Weise chemischer und physikalischer Erkennt nisse. Die Theorie der quantitativen Analyse findet ihre Wurzeln in allen Bereichen der Naturwissenschaften. Derjenige, der die Methoden der quantitativen Analyse verstehen will, muB diese Wurzeln kennen und vor allem, neben derVertrautheit mit dem Stoff, Kenntnisse uber die physikalischen Erscheinungen besitzen. Zu den theoretischen Grundlagen der analytischen Chemie gibt es gute, ausfUhrli che Lehrbucher. Diese Lehrbucher will die vorliegende kleine Einfuhrung nicht er setzen, und der Gebrauch ausfuhrlichererWerke kann nicht genug empfohlen wer den. Hier sei zunachst auf die Bucher von I. M. Kolthoff et al.: Volumetric Analysis, Band I bis III, Intersience Publishers, Inc., New York, sowie auf die ausgezeichne ten eingehenden Werke von G. Hagg: Die theoretischen Grundlagen der analyti schen Chemie, Birkhauser, Basel, und F. Seel: Grundlagen der analytischen Che mie, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, hingewiesen."
