The Hans Kleinpoppen Symposium on "Complete Scattering Experiments" th was held in honor of Hans Kleinpoppen's 70 birthday. It took place in Il Ciocco, Italy. The symposium had two purposes: to present the work that Hans Kleinpoppen has done or initiated during his remarkable scientific career, and to bring people from various fields together who perform complete scattering experiments. Hans Kleinpoppen's work included electron and photon impact experiments which were accompanied by studies of entangled states - a field of high current interest. Representatives from each of these fields gave excellent lectures on their particular subjects, and many discussions that started during the sessions were continued later in the relaxed atmosphere of the Il Ciocco resort. The breathtaking view of the beautiful landscape will be an unforg- table memory to all who participated in this extraordinary scientific event. The coherent and ideal combination of subject, people and location reflected the coherence of Hans Kleinpoppen's aims and activities in science and life. We offer our grateful thanks to all contributers who made this volume such a worthy tribute to Hans Kleinpoppen. We also like to thank Rainer Hentges for the painstaking work to prepare this volume in its complete ready to print version. We are also grateful to the Royal Society of London and the Max- Planck-Gesellschaft who generous support of the Hans Kleinpoppen sym- sium made this marvelous meeting and this proceedings possible.

In the past ten to twenty years the global political economy picture has dramatically changed with the emergence of the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and, notably, China (BRICs) as big players and competitors of the advanced economies in the West and Eastern Asia. The book comparatively analyses institutional change in the BRICs. This book examines the BRICs by analysing their institutional development, their main continuities and changes, and their differences. It provides a comparative analysis of the political economies of the BRICs, but also considers South Africa and Turkey. The contributors provide a systematic comparison of the state-economy and the capital-labour relationships and explore whether they liberalized or followed a specific trajectory. The book also addresses debates on the varieties of capitalism and explores whether the emerging economies fit into the dichotomous construction of liberal and coordinated capitalism or whether they require a more differentiated typological approach. Moving away from rigid conceptions and the static classification of political economies as either liberal or coordinated and presenting a more open approach, The BRICs and Emerging Economies in Comparative Perspective will be vital reading for students and scholars of comparative political economy, international relations, capitalism, the BRICs, emerging markets and the role of the state in the economy.

Leading investigators offer the first comprehensive study of gas phase photoionization research in the VUV and soft X-ray regime since the massive employment of synchrotron radiation as a spectroscopic tool. Chapters cover all aspects of photoionization phenomena from total cross sections to highly differentiated measurements such as coincidence experiments and spin-resolved electron spectroscopy. This work is abundant with illustrations.

Through his groundbreaking studies on Pentateuchal criticism, Karl Heinrich Graf (1815 1869), Old Testament scholar and Orientalist, made a major contribution to research on the origin of the Pentateuch and on the reconstruction of the history of religion in ancient Israel. Despite his importance as a 19th century scholar, Graf never held a chair at a German university. This book describes and recognizes Graf s Old Testament scholarship, placing it into the context of his biography and within the history of research."

Die CIM-Konzeption wird in den Hausgeriitewerken der AEG seit langem verfolgt. Der inter- nationale Wettbewerb zwingt zu immer kiirzeren Lieferzeiten auf der einen und stiindig zu- nehmender Produktdifferenzierung auf der anderen Seite. Die Produkte hochentwickelter Un- der sind nur dann gegeniiber denen der weniger entwickelten Under wettbewerbsfiihig, wenn sie technisch hochwertig, qualitativ einwandfrei, kurzfristig und in der besonderen AusfUhrung des Kunden Iieferbar sind. Von Serienfertigung im klassischen Sinne kann selbst bei den Haus- geriiten nicht mehr gesprochen werden. Ahnlich wie bei den Automobilen sind die yom Band gehenden Geriite in der Folge sehr hiiufig aufgrund der hohen Variantenzahl unterschiedlich. Das AEG-Hausgeriitewerk Kassel stellt Kiihl- und Gefriergeriite in der Grollenordnung von 80 bis 360 Liter Fassungsvermogen her. Das Werk gehort zur AEG Hausgeriite Aktiengesellschaft mit Stammsitz in Niirnberg. 1m Kasseler Hausgeriitewerk sind etwa 1100 Mitarbeiter beschiiftigt. Tiiglich werden cirka 2500 Kiihl- und Gefriergeriite hergestellt. Die Durchlaufzeit yom Roh- blech bis zum fertigen Geriit betragt Ibis 2 Tage. Aus etwa 50 Grundtypen werden cirka 500 verschiedene Enderzeugnisse in Losgrollen zwischen 100 und 3000 Stiick hergestellt.
