Zwischen Domestik und Staatsdiener
Frühneuzeitliche Diplomatie war durch eine zunehmende Professionalisierung des Botschaftspersonals und der Verwaltungsroutinen gekennzeichnet – so die gängige Vorstellung. Insbesondere seien die zuvor als Domestiken des Botschafters tätigen Sekretäre nach und nach durch staatlich bestallte Botschaftssekretäre abgelöst worden. Allerdings ist dieser Prozess bislang ebenso wenig empirisch untersucht wie der soziale Status und das konkrete Aufgabenspektrum der betreffenden Akteure. Die im Band versammelten Beiträge setzen hier an, indem sie erstmals systematisch die Rolle von Botschaftssekretären in der frühneuzeitlichen Diplomatie in den Blick nehmen. Das Spektrum reicht dabei vom 16. bis ins frühe 19. Jahrhundert, von England und Frankreich über Österreich und Preußen bis ins Osmanische Reich.
Philosophy of Globalization
Not so long ago, it seemed the intellectual positions on globalization were clear, with advocates and opponents making their respective cases in decidedly contrasting terms. Recently, however, the fronts have shifted dramatically. The aim of this publication is to contribute philosophical depth to the debates on globalization conducted within various academic fields – principally by working out its normative dimensions. The interdisciplinary nature of this book’s contributors also serves to scientifically ground the ethical-philosophical discourse on global responsibility. Though by no means exhaustive, the expansive scope of the works herein encompasses such other topics as the altering consciousness of space and time, and the phenomenon of globalization as a discourse, as an ideology and as a symbolic form.
Optoelectronic Devices
Tremendous progress has been made in the last few years in the growth, doping and processing technologies of the wide bandgap semiconductors. As a result, this class of materials now holds significant promis for semiconductor electronics in a broad range of applications. The principal driver for the current revival of interest in III-V Nitrides is their potential use in high power, high temperature, high frequency and optical devices resistant to radiation damage. This book provides a wide number of optoelectronic applications of III-V nitrides and covers the entire process from growth to devices and applications making it essential reading for those working in the semiconductors or microelectronics. Broad review of optoelectronic applications of III-V nitrides

Jeanne Hyvrard
"This critical introduction for the first time brings the work of the French theorist Jeanne Hyvrard to the English-speaking world. Hyvrard, by training a political economist, combines 'chaos theory', personal history, and political analysis to address the condition and future of the post-colonial world. Original, incisive and committed to new ways of thinking, Hyvrard's work confronts the profound questions of our time: language; the body; women's resistance to physical and psychological oppression; colonialism; ecology and technology; madness and illness; birth and death; and mother-daughter relations." "Much of Hyvrard's writing (like that of other French feminist writers) is semi fictional. Like Helene Cixous, Hyvrard has been described as a proponent of 'l'ecriture feminine', but, as Jennifer Waelti-Walters shows by setting Hyvrard's work in a range of contexts, Hyvrard makes her own distinctive contribution to western intellectual thought by working out from the female body to global politics, economics and environmental issues."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
