The intelligibility of nature was a persistent theme of William A. Wallace, OP, one of the most prolific Catholic scholars of the late twentieth century. This Reader aims to make available a representative selection of his work in the history of science, natural philosophy, and theology illustrating his defense and development of this central theme. Wallace is among the most important Galileo scholars of the past fifty years and a key figure in the recent revival of scientific realism. Further, his long and productive scholarly career has been shaped by a continuous effort to bring the resources of the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition to the solution of contemporary problems of philosophy and science. Through all of these contributions, Wallace has provided the foundation for a renewed confidence in the capacity of human knowers to attain understanding of the natural order. Consequently, the overall aim of this volume is to secure continued access to his scholarship for readers in the new millennium. Intelligibility of Nature contains twenty-nine previously published essays written by Wallace over a period of some forty years. Many of these essays are currently not readily accessible. They are arranged in five thematic groups, each representing a major subject-area of Wallace's scholarly interests. The first group is devoted to essays on making nature intelligible through the use of scientific models. The second group of essays investigates various ways in which the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition is foundational to contemporary scientific research. Essays in the third group are historical studies on the origins of modern science. The fourth group of essays discuss the viability of the cosmological argument for the existence of God in light of natural science. The final group of essays consider the relation of science and religion. Together these essays provide a representative sample of Wallace's multifaceted contributions to scholarship.

'Rogue states' have been high on the policy agenda for many years but their theoretical significance for international relations has remained poorly understood. In contrast to the bulk of writings on 'rogue states' that address them merely as a policy challenge, this book studies what we can learn from deviance about international politics.

Der Geburtstag des Herrn KARL HEINRICH BAUER war in der akademischen Welt ein Ereignis besonderer Bedeutung. Der emeritierte Professor der Chirurgie und Initiator des Deutschen Krebsforschungs- zentrums hatte es schon fruher verstandell, geistige Anregungen auszu- streuen, seine Leser und Horer zu fesseln und durch sein Beispiel zu wirken. So ist es nur naturlich, daB zur Feier der Vollendung des 75. Le- bensjahres sehr viele Schuler, Freunde, Verehrer und Fachgenossen aus aller Welt nach Heidelberg gekommen sind, urn dem Jubilar die Reverenz zu erweisen. 1m Mittelpunkt der Feierlichkciten stand ein wissenschaft- liches Symposion, welches reich war an thematisch weit streuenden Beitragen, gleich einem bunten, farbenfrohen Geburtstags-BlumenstrauB. Die nachfolgende Zusammenstellung gibt ein naturgetreues Bild von clem Ductus der Einzelvortrage. Herausgebern und Verlag war daran gelegen, durch diese Festschrift, deren Teile wie die Komponenten eines Kraftfelcles auf Teilgebiete des Lebcnswerkes von K. H. BAUER ausge- richtet sind, sowohl eine bleibende Erinnerung als auch einen Eindruck von der imposanten GroBe und Mannigfaltigkeit des Lebenswerkes von K. H. BAUER zu vermitteln.

Political Behavior of the American Electorate, Fourteenth Edition, attempts to answer this question by interpreting data from the most recent American National Election Study to provide a thorough analysis of the 2016 elections and the current American political behavior.

Diese kompakte Einfuhrung in die Theoretische Informatik stellt die wichtigsten Modelle fur zentrale Probleme der Informatik vor. Dabei werden u.a. folgende Fragestellungen behandelt:

Welche Probleme sind algorithmisch losbar? (Theorie der Berechenbarkeit und Entscheidbarkeit)

Wie schwierig ist es algorithmische Probleme zu losen? (Theorie der Berechnungskomplexitat, NP-Theorie)

Wie sind informationsverarbeitende Systeme prinzipiell aufgebaut? (Theorie der endlichen Automaten)

Welche Strukturen besitzen Programmiersprachen? (Theorie der formalen Sprachen)

In der Erarbeitung dieser Themen wird der Abstraktionsprozess von den realen Gegenstanden der Informatik zu den in der Theoretischen Infromatik etabliertern Modellen, wie z.B. Random-Access-Maschinen, Turingmaschinen und endliche Automaten, nachvollzogen und umgekehrt verdeutlicht, was diese Modelle aufgrund der uber sie gewonnenen Erkenntnisse fur die Praxis leisten konnen."

Battleground models Wisconsin's contentious political communication ecology: the way that politics, social life, and communication intersect and create conditions of polarization and democratic decline. Drawing from 10 years of interviews, news and social media content, and state-wide surveys, we combine qualitative and computational analysis with time-series and multi-level modeling to study this hybrid communication system - an approach that yields unique insights about nationalization, social structure, conventional discourses, and the lifeworld. We explore these concepts through case studies of immigration, healthcare, and economic development, concluding that despite nationalization, distinct state-level effects vary by issue as partisan actors exert their discursive power.

Mediated Democracy: Politics, the News, and Citizenship in the 21st Century takes a contemporary, communications-oriented perspective on the central questions pertaining to the health of democracies and relationships between citizens, journalists, and political elites. The approach marries clear syntheses of cutting-edge research with practical advice explaining why the insights of scholarship affects students' lives. With active, engaging writing, the text will thoroughly explain why things are the way they are, how they got that way, and how students can use the insights of political communication research to do something about it as citizens.

Spacepower, analogous to airpower and sea power, is the ability to use the space medium to project military power. Since the end of the Cold War, the contributions of spacepower to national security and military operations have become increasingly visible in the open press, leading to an increased stated need for a comprehensive spacepower theory. This research is focused toward that need. It explores the central themes and specific points of the "theoretical masters" of land, sea and air, in order to draw analogies to the emerging presence of military spacepower. Space will continue to aid combat in other mediums as it offers persistence, range, and near instantaneous speed-enabling a global presence that is unmatched by capabilities in any other medium. However, for spacepower to emerge as a fully competent component of the future joint force, or simply to mature as a combat arm within the US Air Force, a body of serious thought must be given to why we need spacepower and what we intend it to do. Through this analysis, five lessons emerge for spacepower theory: 1) Spacepower must control space lines of communication; 2) Decisive points are key to space control; 3) Spacepower requires superior observation capabilities and the ability to take offensive action; 4) Robust spacepower could lead to enemy paralysis; and 5) Spacepower requires masters of the space medium.

A new approach to spacepower acquisition is essential to ensure America's continuing advantage in space. The United States must create better options to guarantee that its political leaders and military commanders can continue to depend on military spacepower, and that it remains a continuing competitive advantage for America. At the center of a new space acquisition strategy, advocated in this thesis, is the creation of a spacepower system development and demonstration phase similar to other DOD acquisition cycles. Military spacepower continues to enhance the elements and instruments of US national power and increases the effectiveness of military forces. The useful operational lives of the spacecraft that currently provide these benefits, however, are rapidly running out. Each DOD spacecraft constellation is currently in transition, and the Air Force is attempting to recapitalize every space mission area near simultaneously. These recapitalization efforts have been fraught with technical problems, delays, and significant cost overruns.
