The Swiss Labyrinth
It can be argued that Switzerland has a peculiar set of political institutions, for example decentralized federalism, active referendum democracy, and La formule magique (grand coalition). This volume focuses upon the political and social outcomes of these institutions in the 1990s.
Continuum Mechanics and Theory of Materials
The new edition includes additional analytical methods in the classical theory of viscoelasticity. This leads to a new theory of finite linear viscoelasticity of incompressible isotropic materials. Anisotropic viscoplasticity is completely reformulated and extended to a general constitutive theory that covers crystal plasticity as a special case.
Die Grundlagen des Gestaltens (PDF)
Die Gestaltungsgrundlagen gehören zum Basiswissen für Berufsschüler/-innen und Studierende von künstlerischen und gestalterischen Fachrichtungen. Aber auch viele Laien interessieren sich für Muster, Formen oder die Komposition von Text und Bild, und dies erst recht, seit DIY oder die Gestaltung eigener digitaler Inhalte im Trend liegen. Dieses Buch ist eine Sammlung von praktischen Anwendungsaufgaben im Bereich Gestaltung, Grafikdesign und Visuelle Kommunikation mit Ausblicken zu dreidimensionalen Formen. Die Übungen schulen das Auge und gleichzeitig die manuellen Fertigkeiten. Jeder Praxisteil wird eingeleitet durch gut verständliche theoretische Einführungen in die einzelnen Teilbereiche der Gestaltung wie zum Beispiel Zeichnen, Fotografieren, Farbe oder Schrift. Im letzten Kapitel geht es um effizientes Arbeiten im gestalterischen Alltag. Mit Methoden aus den Bereichen der Kreativitäts- und Präsentationstechniken, der Rhetorik und des Selbstmanagements kann die eigene gestalterische Arbeit optimiert werden.
Handbook of Electrical Power Systems
Bridging the technical and the economical worlds of the energy sector and establishing a solid understanding of today's energy supply as a complex system– with these missions in mind, the book at hand compactly describes the fundamentals of electrical power supply in a dialogue between technology and non-technology, between academia and practitioners, and between nations and continents. Today, energy supply is a complex global system – it is time for a dialogue of the disciplines. In this book, experts explain in an understandable manner the technical foundations and selected specific aspects of today's electrical power supply. Each chapter supplies a fundamental introduction in layman's...
Permanent Establishments
Permanent Establishments (PEs) are a key facet of international taxation. They constitute the crucial threshold for the assignment of taxing rights to a jurisdiction in all cases of enterprises operating in more than one country. The issue of whether there is a PE, and how much profit should be allocated to it, is an increasingly important factor in tax planning, tax accounting, tax compliance, and related tax risk management. Groundbreaking developments have reshaped the face of the classical PE concept during the year 2017. Following action item no. 7 of the Anti-BEPS efforts of G20 and OECD, the OECD has presented the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting in Ju...
Fifty Minerals That Changed the Course of History

Economic Policy in Switzerland
Switzerland is at the centre of Europe, but is not part of the European Union. Its specific policy concerns are often less known than for other countries but might offer an alternative model to integration. This collection from some of the best academic economists in Switzerland covers monetary economics, competition, health care, environmental and housing policies, as well as aspects related to unemployment insurance, gender discrimination, poverty, and privatization to provide a comprehensive survey of the Swiss economy.
Free Markets and the Culture of Common Good
Recent economic development and the financial and economic crisis require a change in our approach to business and finance. This book combines theology, economy and philosophy in order to examine in detail the idea that the functioning of a free market economy depends upon sound cultural and ethical foundations. The free market is a cultural achievement, not only an economic phenomenon subject to technical rules of trade and exchange. It is an achievement which lives by and depends upon the values and virtues shared by the majority of those who engage in economic activity. It is these values and virtues that we refer to as culture. Trust, credibility, loyalty, diligence, and entrepreneurship are the values inherent in commercial rules and law. But beyond law, there is also the need for ethical convictions and for global solidarity with developing countries. This book offers new ideas for future sustainable development and responds to an increasing need for a new sense of responsibility for the common good in societal institutions and good leadership.
