This new text approaches the problem of the electronic structure of solid matter in terms of multiple scattering theory. It includes a short review of local density functional theories, taking the reader step-by-step through the properties of Schrodinger and Dirac Hamiltonians for a central field, and resolvents and Green functions. Ordered and disordered systems are considered, along with non-relativistic and relativistic schemes. Also discussed are the direct applications of multiple scattering to important aspects of materials science such as band structure spectography, Fermi energy related properties, and the present understanding of magnetic systems. An ideal resource for solid state physicists and materials scientists, this work may also serve as a text for graduate-level students.

"Nonverbale Marktkommunikation" betrifft die Gesichts- und Koerpersprache von Konsumenten beim Einkauf sowie die Beein- flussung des Konsumentenverhaltens mittels nichtsprachlicher Signalsysteme. Gemass dieser Titelinterpretation gibt diese Schrift einen zusammenfassenden UEberblick uber empirische Forschungsprojekte, die am Lehrstuhl fur Absatz-, Konsum- und Verhaltensforschung der Universitat -GH- Paderborn durchgefuhrt worden sind. Meine Mitarbeiter Dr. Franz-Josef Konert, Dipl. -Kfm. Sigrid Bekmeier und Dipl. -Kfm. Marion Schoppe haben mich mit zahl- reichen Anregungen versorgt. Meine Sekretarin Frau Ingrid Tegethoff kummerte sich um die Reinschrift des Manuskriptes. Als Testleser haben Dipl. -Kfm. Andrea Groeppel und Dipl. -Kfm. Heiner Spieker zu mehreren Verbesserungen beigetragen. Die Koordination aller Arbeiten bis zur druckreifen Endfassung oblag Dipl. -Kfm. Petra Schukart. Allen danke ich sehr herzlich.

Schizophrenia is one of the most complex and disabling diseases to affect mankind. Relatively little is known about its nature and its origins, and available treatments are inadequate for most patients. As a result, there are inevitable controversies about what causes it, how to diagnose it, and how best to treat it. However, in the past decade, there has been an explosion of new research, with dramatic discoveries involving genetic etiology and epidemiological risk factors. There has also been a catalog of new drugs coming to market, and controversy about the relative advantages and disadvantages of newer compared with older therapies. In addition, developing technologies in genomics, molecular biology and neuroimaging provide streams of new information.

This book represents a definitive, essential, and up-to-date reference text on schizophrenia. It extensively and critically digests and clarifies recent advances and places them within a clinical context. The Editors (one American and one British), highly respected clinical psychiatrists and researchers and acknowledged experts on schizophrenia, have again assembled an outstanding group of contributors from the USA, UK, Europe and Australia, It will be of value to practising psychiatrists and to trainees, as well as to clinical and neuroscience researchers interested in keeping up with this field or coming into it.

The book consists of four sections: descriptive aspects, biological aspects, physical treatments, and psychological and social aspects. It reviews the theoretical controversies over symptomatology, classification and aetiology (particularly pertinent as DSM-V is being developed), the relationship of schizophrenia to the other psychoses, the significance of positive and negative symptoms and pre-morbid personality. It describes a variety of approaches to integrating the vast research data about schizophrenia, including neurodevelopmental, genetic, pharmacological, brain imaging and psychological findings. The biological treatment section reviews the comparative efficacy of various drugs, the management of drug-resistant patients and both neurological and metabolic complications. The final section looks at psychological therapies, social outcomes, and the economics of schizophrenia.

Highly Commended in the Psychiatry section of the 2012 BMA Book Awards.

The definitive guide to MRI for musculoskeletal abnormalities Differential Diagnosis in Musculoskeletal MRI is a unique desk reference offering extensive descriptions of MRI findings that enable radiologists to more easily diagnose a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. The authors have placed the most essential content covering etiologic, clinical, and pathological aspects in tabular format to assist readers in quickly and efficiently obtaining the information they need. Features: More than 2,000 state-of-the-art images covering the features for both common and rare musculoskeletal conditions Authors provide a practical approach to MRI evaluation and differential diagnosis selection Differential diagnosis tables are based on anatomic locations of lesions This practical reference is an invaluable tool that practicing radiologists, residents, and fellows will use to diagnose both common and rare lesions as well as other disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It is an excellent guide for use in daily practice as well as a comprehensive exam preparation tool.
