(Book). The late Lowell George is best known as the lead singer, slide guitarist, songwriter and producer of Little Feat. George's humor and surreal lyrics became a Little Feat trademark, making songs like "Fat Man in the Bathtub" and "Dixie Chicken" unforgettable. Rock and Roll Doctor explores the genius that animated Little Feat from George's early bands to his work with Frank Zappa, landmark albums such as Feats Don't Fail Me Now and The Last Record Album , and his later production work with Linda Ronstadt and the Grateful Dead. George's colorful childhood is covered in depth as is his solo career after Little Feat that was cut short tragically. Each Little Feat album is treated to a separate chapter that examines the development of every song how it was conceived, recorded and produced. The analysis of Little Feat's complex rhythms will fascinate musicians and fans alike. "Lowell George was the best singer, songwriter and guitar player I have ever heard, hands down, in my life." Bonnie Raitt
This book offers examples of how experience and innovation can be combined to create something new, with a particular emphasis on practical implementation, such as generating successful solutions by merging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and managerial concepts.

Das Kunstmuseum St.Gallen präsentiert eine Werkschau des St.Galler Künstlers und Manor Kunstpreisträgers Georg Gatsas (*1978 in Grabs). Die Ausstellung, seine erste Einzelausstellung in einem Kunstmuseum, entsteht in direkter Zusammenarbeit mit dem Künstler und ermöglicht einen vertieften Einblick in sein aktuelles künstlerisches Schaffen. 0Georg Gatsas bedient sich eines interdisziplinären Ansatzes, der sich darauf konzentriert, wie Sound, Erinnerung und öffentlicher Raum interagieren. Selbst Nomade in einer globalisierten Welt, reist er zwischen verschiedenen urbanen Landschaften umher und bildet in seinen Porträts Individuen in den Welten, die sie umgeben, ab. Dabei sind ?Global Cities? wie New York, London und Johannesburg wichtige Fixpunkte in Georg Gatsas' Leben und Arbeit. Die subkulturellen Musik- und Kunstszenen dienen als Stimmungsträger und vermitteln den Blick auf die Jetztzeit. Historische und soziologische Bezüge von Musik und Kunst liefern weitere Impulse.00Exhibition: Kunstmuseum, St. Gallen, Switzerland (04.11.2017-11.02.2018).
By presenting state-of-the-art results in logical reasoning and formal methods in the context of artificial intelligence and AI applications, this book commemorates the 60th birthday of Jörg H. Siekmann. The 30 revised reviewed papers are written by former and current students and colleagues of Jörg Siekmann; also included is an appraisal of the scientific career of Jörg Siekmann entitled "A Portrait of a Scientist: Logics, AI, and Politics." The papers are organized in four parts on logic and deduction, applications of logic, formal methods and security, and agents and planning.
When Alex and Michael travel to the Alps with their family to celebrate their great-grandmother’s hundredth birthday, the last thing they expect is to be thrown into an adventure where worlds collide and everything is not what it seems… The two children arrive in the valley at the foot of The Dragon of Ice, a great glacier and the cold heart of a centuries-old legend. Their great-grandmother has arranged for them to go climbing, enlisting a geologist and a mountaineer to accompany them on their ascent. But as an ancient spell takes hold, the legends of the valley become reality, and Alex and Michael are transported to a medieval world of witchcraft, dragons and a devil king. Can they overcome fear and will heroism prevail?
Rock Joints deals exclusively with the mechanical genesis of joints in rocks. It is aimed at a coherent, critical and comprehensible presentation of the underlying mechanical processes of various types of joints and joint systems. Special care is taken to elucidate and quantify the role of high fluid pressures in the formation of joints. The background is an offshoot of the author's courses on "Genesis of Rock Joints" in the Department of Rock Mechanics and Tunneling at the Technical University of Graz, Austria.

The physics of strongly correlated fermions and bosons in a disordered envi ronment and confined geometries is at the focus of intense experimental and theoretical research efforts. Advances in material technology and in low temper ature techniques during the last few years led to the discoveries of new physical of atomic gases and a possible metal phenomena including Bose condensation insulator transition in two-dimensional high mobility electron structures. Situ ations were the electronic system is so dominated by interactions that the old concepts of a Fermi liquid do not necessarily make a good starting point are now routinely achieved. This is particularly true in the theory of low dime...
