Sci-fi thriller directed by Luke Scott and starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the role of Morgan, a synthetic being with superhuman strength and intelligence. Genetically engineered as an experiment in the next step in evolution, Morgan is kept in a secure facility with very little human contact except for the scientists who made her. After an incident with a temper tantrum, a specialist consultant (Kate Mara) is sent in to investigate Morgan's behaviour, but Morgan is less than happy to be kept locked in a cage. The cast also includes Paul Giamatti, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Toby Jones.

Matt Damon stars in this sci-fi thriller directed by Ridley Scott. During a mission to Mars, a crew of NASA astronauts are caught in a storm that leaves Mark Watney (Damon) missing and presumed dead. As the rest of the crew return to Earth, Watney awakens to find himself surrounded by the desolate landscape of the red planet. With no way to communicate the news of his survival back to Earth, Watney must figure out a way to prolong his life expectancy until the next NASA mission visits the planet in approximately four years. The all-star cast includes Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Jessica Chastain and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

How do we perceive our body and where is it represented in our brain? Since decades it has been known that the primary somatosensory cortex (or SI) codes the surface of our body in a topographical way. Classic studies understand this body map representation in SI as fix and reflecting the physical location of peripheral stimulation in the form of the famous somatosensory homunculus. This book reports results of recent studies that challenge this view and suggest a more complex role of SI.

Friedenssicherung ist in jungster Zeit zu einem vielgebrauchten Schlagwort geworden. Angesichts zunehmender internationaler Spannungen werden zahllose Bemuhungen auf bilateraler, regionaler und internationaler Ebene unternommen, um die Mindestbedingungen fiir ein friedliches Zusammen- leben der Volker zu schaffen oder aufrechtzuerhalten. Wichtigstes Anliegen dieser Arbeit ist es, dieses kaum uberschaubare Feld internationaler Konfliktstrategie in einem zentralen Bereich transparenter zu machen. Das gesamte Friedenssicherungssystem der Vereinten Nationen wird einer Bestandsaufnahme unterzogen, die es ermoglichen soll, die prakti- sche Bedeutung der Weltorganisation im Bereich zukunftiger Friedensbemu- hungen realistisch einzuschatzen. Dabei soll vor allem auf den noch immer bestehenden Antagonismus zwischen dem vorhandenen institutionellen Rah- men und der mangelnden politischen Willensbildung als Grundvoraussetzung globaler Friedenssicherung hingewiesen werden. Herzlich danken mochte ich Herrn Prof. Dr. Helmut Steinberger fUr die Betreuung der umfangreichen Arbeit. Herr Prof. Dr. Brnno Simma hat mir in zahlreichen Gesprachen wertvolle Anregungen gegeben. Besonderer Dank gilt auch der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, die mir durch ein Forschungsstipendium einen Aufenthalt beim "Security Council and Political Affairs Department" der Vereinten Nationen in New York ermog- lichte. Zahlreiche Mitarbeiter des VN-Sekretariats haben wesentlich dazu beigetragen, einen realistischen Einblick in die praktische Arbeit der VN- Hauptorgane zu gewinnen. Danken mochte ich auch dem Auswartigen Amt fUr die grosszugige Unterstutzung bei der Fertigstellung der Arbeit. Fur ihre technische Hilfe danke ich Frau Paula Ringho[[ sowie Frau Angelika Goldenberg. Herrn Prof. Dr. Rudol[ Bernhardt bin ich fur die bereitwillige Aufnahme der Arbeit in die Schriftenreihe des Max-Planck-Instituts zu grossem Dank verpflichtet. Das Manuskript wurde im August 1979 abgeschlossen.

Haiku Northwest, the Washington State region of the Haiku Society of America, celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary with "No Longer Strangers," a wide-ranging anthology of haiku, senryu, and haibun by 78 contributors from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and British Columbia. Also included are poems by deceased members as well as Connie Hutchison's engaging history of the organization and its many contributions to poetry in the great Pacific Northwest. "I'm intrigued by the thought of which one haiku I would choose to be remembered by. Over twelve hundred of my poems have been published. Would I want it to be humorous? Serious? Dealing with nature or human beings? About travel, art, the computer world? All of us are multidimensional beings. I have somewhat decided on one. It's a haiku you may have heard." poolside, we chat about reincarnation; no longer strangers -Francine Porad, "A Personal Journey to Haiku" "This collection, celebrating the first quarter century of Haiku Northwest, introduces readers to a thriving community of poets who sense the connection between fresh gingerbread and a sister's coming-out letter, who honor the soggy meaning of Raggedy Ann afloat at ebbtide, who gaze from atop the Space Needle to share 'how it feels / to spot a whale.' In the pages of this anthology readers become acquainted with a Northwest gathering of artists eager to share their deepest insights, perceptions, memories, and yearnings . . . no longer strangers." -David G.
