The Second World War left Europe in chaos. Landscapes had been ravaged, entire cities razed and more than 35 million people killed. Across most of the continent, the institutions that we now take for granted - such as the police, the media, transport,local and national government - were either entirely absent or hopelessly compromised. Crime rates soared, economies collapsed, and the European population hovered on the brink of starvation. In this groundbreaking study of the years that followed the war, Keith Lowe describes a continent still racked by violence, where large sections of the population had yet to accept that the war was over. He outlines the warped morality and the insatiable ur...

De Tweede Wereldoorlog liet Europa achter in chaos. Landschappen waren vernietigd, steden met de grond gelijkgemaakt en meer dan 35 miljoen mensen gedood. De criminaliteit was onuitroeibaar en economieën stortten in. In zijn grensverleggende boek over de naoorlogse jaren brengt Keith Lowe niet alleen de verwrongen moraal in kaart, maar ook de enorme behoefte aan wraak als de nalatenschap van de oorlog. Hij beschrijft de etnische zuiveringen en burgeroorlogen die de levens van de mensen ontwrichtten, waarna uiteindelijk de instelling van een nieuwe wereldorde kwam, die het verwoeste continent stabiliteit bracht. Het woeste continent is de eerste grote geschiedenis van de korte, chaotische periode tussen het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog en het begin van de Koude Oorlog.
Herein is provided an overview of 40 projects created by European students of Architecture and Urban Design, completed between 2008 and 2010 and resulting from a set of 4 workshops which worked on the issue of inclusive urban design within different patrimonial urban centres that were characterized by steep and complex topography. This work was the result of an Erasmus Agreement in partnership with 8 European Universities and promoted by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-BarcelonaTech), through the Càtedrad'Accessibilitat (CATAC) and the EscolaTècnica Superior d'Arquitectura del Vallès (ETSAV). Marta Bordas Eddy is an architect and PhD candidate by the Universitat Politècnica de Cataluna (UPC-BarcelonaTech) and the Tampere University of Technology (TUT). Her area of expertize is inclusive architectural design, and accessible urban planning. She has been a researcher at UPC-BarcelonaTech (2007-2011), adjunct professor at the University of Barcelona – UB (2012), and a researcher and teaching assistant at TUT currently.
Groźna i podstępna mgła ogarnia Miasto, usypia ludzi i porywa ich do Świata Wyobraźni. Prywatny detektyw Jonatan i zaprzyjaźniona z nim 13-letnia Alicja, próbują rozwiązać kryminalną zagadkę kradzieży 30 milionów dolarów oraz tajemnicę mgły. Spotykają dziwne postacie – Cyndie, rycerza, Filipa. Okazuje się, że trafili oni do Świata Realnego ze Świata Wyobraźni, którym zawładnął niebezpieczny Cesarz czarnoksiężnik Magdulf. Jonatan, Alicja, Cyndie i Filip uciekając przed groźnymi wysłannikami Cesarza przechodzą do Świata Wyobraźni, gdzie będą musieli stawić czoła żołdakom i potworom, a w końcu samemu Cesarzowi i jego armii. Cała moc Zła zamknięta została przez Białą Radę Czarnoksiężników w magicznej kuli. Czy Jonatan zdoła z pomocą przyjaciół wyzwolić spod władzy cesarza oba światy Realny i Wyobraźni? Bo jeśli nie i Cesarz zawładnie magiczną kulą, to my ludzie i wszyscy bohaterowie Świata Wyobraźni będziemy zgubieni.
As a spectroscopic method, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has seen spectacular growth, both as a technique and in its applications. Today's applications of NMR span a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics to biology to medicine. Each volume of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance comprises a combination of annual and biennial reports which together provide comprehensive coverage of the literature on this topic. This Specialist Periodical Report reflects the growing volume of published work involving NMR techniques and applications, in particular NMR of natural macromolecules, which is covered in two reports: NMR of Proteins and Nucleic Acids and NMR of Carbohydrates, Lipids and Membrane...
The connections between culture and sustainability have been in the public agenda since the 20th century. However, whilst global sustainability programmes at international institutional levels are yet to recognise the role of culture in their sustainability policies, the bid (albeit failed) in the early 2000s to formally add “culture” to the trilogy of sustainability pillars (economic, social, and environmental) mobilised a new discourse for the reframing of cultural policy narrative, which in turn urged a reassessment of methods of cultural management reflecting the same concerns among the sector’s grassroots. The idea of sustainability and culture working together and their envisione...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, WADS 2013, held in London, ON, Canada, August 2013. The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium - WADS (formerly "Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures") is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. The 44 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 139 submissions. The papers present original research on algorithms and data structures in all areas, including bioinformatics, combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, graphics, and parallel and distributed computing.
