Facades - they are the first feature of a building to be noticed, they determine its distinctive appearance and are often the subject of controversial debate. This new first edition of the Facade Construction Manual provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy- efficient technologies in facade design, and represents an invaluable addition to our series of Construction Manuals. It surveys the facade design requirements made by various types of buildings, as well as the most important materials, from natural stone through to synthetics, and documents a diversity of construction forms for a wide range of building types. Over 100 international case-studies in large-scale, detailed drawings are presented in the comprehensive project section.
European central bank policy is already taking place today in an informal way. It comprises, in short, European exchange rate management and interest rate policy decisions within and without the European Monetary System (EMS). A focal point of such policy actions are the money market operating targets of European Central Banks. Those central bank policies appear to be dominated, however, by the Deutsche Bundesbank.

In spoken language comprehension, the hearer is faced with a more or less continuous stream of auditory information. Prosodic cues, such as pitch movement, pre-boundary lengthening, and pauses, incrementally help to organize the incoming stream of information into prosodic phrases, which often coincide with syntactic units. Prosody is hence central to spoken language comprehension and some models assume that the speaker produces prosody in a consistent and hierarchical fashion. While there is manifold empirical evidence that prosodic boundary cues are reliably and robustly produced and effectively guide spoken sentence comprehension across different populations and languages, the underlying ...

Die autobiographischen Erinnerungen des international renommierten Komponisten Georg Friedrich Haas (* 1953) sind ein zeithistorisch bedeutendes Dokument von großem Seltenheitswert. Es beschreibt eine komplexe österreichische Familiengeschichte im Umfeld des Nationalsozialismus nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg – und vor allem den entschlossenen Kampf gegen diese Sozialisation. Mit großer Akribie, emotionaler Stärke und klarer gesamtgesellschaftlicher Analyse gibt Haas eine detaillierte Innensicht auf eine deutschnational/nationalsozialistisch geprägte Umgebung und schildert seine Loslösung aus diesem vergifteten Milieu – seinen Weg nach draußen.
