The present volume emerged from the 3rd `Blaubeuren Workshop: Recent Developments in Quantum Field Theory', held in July 2007 at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig/Germany. All of the contributions are committed to the idea of this workshop series: To bring together outstanding experts working in the field of mathematics and physics to discuss in an open atmosphere the fundamental questions at the frontier of theoretical physics.
This edited collection brings together experts from various disciplines to engage critically with diversity theory, diversity politics, and their practical application. Accordingly, the volume provides a provocative discursive space, where the key theoretical as well as practical problems of diversity in business, institutions and culture can speak to each other and can be assessed. The aim is to bridge the gap between two relatively distinct discourses: the discourse on practical applications of diversity concepts and the discourse on theoretical approaches to diversity. This selection of articles delivers the first step towards achieving this goal. Approaching diversity from a business perspective, the chapters discuss its ramifications on democratic institutions and theory, as well as point to its relevance in didactic and educational settings.
This is the first volume of a modern introduction to quantum field theory which addresses both mathematicians and physicists, at levels ranging from advanced undergraduate students to professional scientists. The book bridges the acknowledged gap between the different languages used by mathematicians and physicists. For students of mathematics the author shows that detailed knowledge of the physical background helps to motivate the mathematical subjects and to discover interesting interrelationships between quite different mathematical topics. For students of physics, fairly advanced mathematics is presented, which goes beyond the usual curriculum in physics.
This book presents a review of the last twenty years of research in German industrial relations. Divided into three parts, it begins by exploring the major developments in this field of research. It then describes the academic field of industrial relations in Germany from different perspectives, looking back on twenty years of “Industrielle Beziehungen” – the German Journal of Industrial Relations. This is rounded off by an analysis of the changes in the real world of the German model and its major institutions, namely the DGB trade unions and co-determination on the establishment-level. In addition, the book discusses the contributions of neighbouring disciplines, particularly human resource management, economics, and labour law. As the German model and its developments are interesting not only for researchers in industrial relations, but also for practitioners in business and administration, this volume addresses both groups of readers.
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. Genesis 1,3 Light is not only the basis of our biological existence, but also an essential source of our knowledge about the physical laws of nature, ranging from the seventeenth century geometrical optics up to the twentieth century theory of general relativity and quantum electrodynamics.

In diesem Sammelband werden ausgesuchte Felder des Diversity-Managements vorgestellt und diskutiert: Aspekte und Formen der Diversität, Positive und nachteilige Auswirkungen von Diversity für Teams, Organisationen und Standorte, Interkulturelle und ethische Fragestellung des Diversity-Managements, Ressourcenverbrauch und -sicherung sowie Grenzen und Schwellen der Toleranz unterschiedlicher Diversitätseffekte.

Diversity – Vielfalt, Differenz – ist zu einem zentralen Thema gesellschaftlicher und wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzung geworden. Dabei wird in Diversity ein Potenzial gesehen, das es nicht zuletzt aus Gründen der Effizienz zu nutzen gilt. Mit Fokus auf Geschlecht, Alter und Ethnie werden in diesem Band Theorieansätze innerhalb dieser Forschungsrichtung vorgestellt und gezeigt, welche Anregungen sie für den praktischen Umgang mit sozialer und kultureller Vielfalt liefern.
