John Milnor, best known for his work in differential topology, K-theory, and dynamical systems, is one of only three mathematicians to have won the Fields medal, the Abel prize, and the Wolf prize, and is the only one to have received all three of the Leroy P. Steele prizes. In honor of his eightieth birthday, this book gathers together surveys and papers inspired by Milnor's work, from distinguished experts examining not only holomorphic dynamics in one and several variables, but also differential geometry, entropy theory, and combinatorial group theory. The book contains the last paper written by William Thurston, as well as a short paper by John Milnor himself. Introductory sections put t...
Zulieferer fuhren ein Schattendasein im Bewusstsein der Konsumenten. Dass das nicht zwangslaufig so sein muss, belegen prominente Beispiele. Zuvor vollig unbekannte Zulieferer haben es geschafft, durch geschicktes Branding der von ihnen gelieferten Ingredients einen Nachfragesog zu generieren. Und: Endproduktherstellern wurde es in der Folge ermoglicht, durch das Branding ihrer Ingredients glaubhaft Qualitat zu signalisieren. Die enormen Potenziale von Ingredient Branding erkennen immer mehr Unternehmen, ohne genau zu wissen, wie sie eine erfolgreiche Ingredient Branding-Strategie fuhren konnen. Die Frage nach den Erfolgsdeterminanten von Ingredient Branding-Strategien wird im vorliegenden Buch sowohl aus wissenschaftlicher als auch aus praktischer Perspektive eindrucksvoll und praxisnah beleuchtet. Die Mischung aus Erfahrungen von Unternehmens- und Agenturexperten sowie die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse von fuhrenden deutschen Marketing-Forschern machen dieses Buch besonders lesenswert."

Conflicted Commitments analyzes a form of non-violent, direct transnational solidarity in which activists from the global North travel to support and protect people in the global South. Gada Mahrouse contends that this brand of activism is a compelling site of racialized power relations and is highly instructive for a nuanced understanding of systems of race. Mahrouse argues that the individuals who partake in this form of activism consciously deploy their white, western privilege to offer support and protection to those facing threats of violence. Moreover, given that this type of activism asserts itself as an exemplary form of anti-racist commitment, it illustrates that well-meaning practi...
