After Jekyll's experiment, the harrowing effects of his split personality transform him from a respected member of society into a sinister figure terrorising the streets. Klimowski and Schejbal have been lauded for capturing 'the real horror and tension of the original' in their masterful re-telling.

Banned for 27 years and initially published in a heavily censored edition, The Master and Margarita is probably the most important Russian novel of the 20th century. Written as a satire of Stalin's suffocating bureaucracy, the book has inspired Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, The Rolling Stones' song Sympathy for the Devil and the work of many other international artists, writers and musicians.

Until recently, surprisingly little has been known about the biology and behavior of tropical forest raptors, including such basic aspects as diets, breeding biology, habitat requirements, and population ecology, information critical to the development of conservation efforts. The Peregrine Fund conducted a significant eight-year-long research program on the raptor species, including owls, in Tikal National Park in Guatemala to learn more about Neotropical birds of prey. Impressive and unprecedented in scale, this pioneering research also involved the development of new methods for detecting, enumerating, and studying these magnificent but often elusive birds in their forest home. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of previously little-known species, the resulting book is the most important single source for information on the lowland tropical forest raptor species found in Central America.

Neotropical Birds of Prey covers twenty specific species in depth, including the Ornate Hawk-Eagle, the Barred Forest-Falcon, the Bat Falcon, and the Mexican Wood Owl, offering thorough synopses of all current knowledge regarding breeding biology and behavior, diet, habitat use, and spatial needs. Contributors to this landmark work also show how the populations fit together as a community with overlapping habitat and prey needs that can put them in competition with reptiles and mammalian carnivores as well, yet differ from one another in their nesting or feeding behaviors and population dynamics. The work's substantive original data offer interesting comparisons between tropical and temperate zone species, and provide a basis for establishing conservation measures based on firsthand research. Making available for the first time new data on the biology, ecology, behavior, and conservation of the majestic owls and raptors of the New World tropics, this book will appeal to a wide ornithological readership, especially the many raptor enthusiasts around the world.

Farben loesen Lust, Unlust, Trauer und Freude aus. Sie wirken symbolisch, bezeichnend, stellvertretend, analog oder autonom. Die Unterschiede ent- stehen aufgrund der phanomenalen Eigenart, der individuellen Erlebbar- keit, geografisch bedingten Voraussetzungen, kulturellen Strukturen, ge- schlechts- und altersspezifischen Konventionen. Farbe ist der Stoff des Sinnlichen, der Empfindung ... Wenn den Farben so viele Eigenschaften nachgesagt werden, ist die naheliegende Schlussfolgerung die, dass kaum eine Orientierung moeglich ist. Vollends kritisch wird es, wenn die Betrachter dermassen von Zweifeln geplagt sind, dass niemand mehr an Allgemeinbegriffe glauben kann. Die verbindenden Muster vor lauter Vielfalt nicht mehr erkennen koennen, gilt nicht nur im Bereich der Farben, sondern trifft generell auf eine Welt zu, die sich als pluralistisch begreift. Da muss es kein Nachteil sein, die Augen vor einem Zuviel an Farbreizen zu schliessen, denn gerade Blinde koennen sich sehr dezidiert zu Farbvorstellungen aussern. Konzentration und Vor- stellungsvermoegen sind mindestens ebenso wichtig wie Licht und Dunkel- heit, um sich ein Bild zu machen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Publikation ist es nicht, den uns bekann- ten Farbenlehren eine weitere hinzuzufugen. Das Ziel besteht darin, eine 5 Mischform vorzulegen, die Farben ausmischt, also auch Farbmischungen im woertlichen Sinne zur Sprache bringt, andererseits diverse Gebiete der Farbanwendung nachbarschaftlieh vermischt. Die Suggestivitat der beste- henden Farbsysteme beruht hingegen auf dem genauen Gegenteil davon.

This book is written by the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to document and reflect on its more than 25 years of history. It covers all aspects of this global science project at the forefront of particle physics. The historical part recalls first the early stages of discussions in the community leading to the formation of the collaboration in 1992. In a unique approach, the second part documents the evolution from early detector concepts to the final instrument, covering the technical, financial and human aspects. This includes the phases of construction of detector components in the various institutes around the world as well as their installation and commissioning in the underground cavern at CERN.An important part is devoted to the operation of the whole experiment. The book highlights the capabilities and physics accomplishments so far, including the Higgs boson discovery (jointly announced with CMS). It features the various aspects of a broad spectrum of activities needed to arrive at the physics results. The book includes also an outlook to the detector upgrade activities preparing the experiment for the high-luminosity LHC phase of the next decades. Last but not least, it reveals the human aspects of the large ATLAS community working together pursuing common physics goals.The book is aimed at a broad readership with interest in large science projects and their history, as well as in the human endeavour of a worldwide collaboration.
