Communicating Science
Modern science communication has emerged in the twentieth century as a field of study, a body of practice and a profession—and it is a practice with deep historical roots. We have seen the birth of interactive science centres, the first university actions in teaching and conducting research, and a sharp growth in employment of science communicators. This collection charts the emergence of modern science communication across the world. This is the first volume to map investment around the globe in science centres, university courses and research, publications and conferences as well as tell the national stories of science communication. How did it all begin? How has development varied from one country to another? What motivated governments, institutions and people to see science communication as an answer to questions of the social place of science? Communicating Science describes the pathways followed by 39 different countries. All continents and many cultures are represented. For some countries, this is the first time that their science communication story has been told.
Handbook of Financial Risk Management

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy continues to evolve at a rapidpace. Growing clinical experience and additional clinical trialsare resulting in changes in how patients are selected for CRT. This new edition of the successful Cardiac ResynchronizationTherapy builds on the strengths of the first edition, providingbasic knowledge as well as an up-to-date summary of new advances inCRT for heart failure. Fully updated to include information ontechnological advances, trouble shooting and recent key clinicaltrials, and with nine new chapters, this expanded text provides thelatest information, keeping the reader up-to-date with this rapidlyevolving field. The second edition of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapyis an essential addition to your collection.
Algorithmic Number Theory
Self-organized criticality (SOC) has become a magic word in various scientific disciplines; it provides a framework for understanding complexity and scale invariance in systems showing irregular fluctuations. In the first 10 years after Per Bak and his co-workers presented their seminal idea, more than 2000 papers on this topic appeared. Seismology has been a field in earth sciences where the SOC concept has already deepened the understanding, but there seem to be much more examples in earth sciences where applying the SOC concept may be fruitful. After introducing the reader into the basics of fractals, chaos and SOC, the book presents established and new applications of SOC in earth sciences, namely earthquakes, forest fires, landslides and drainage networks.
First CHAMP Mission Results for Gravity, Magnetic and Atmospheric Studies
In 1995, the German Space Agency DARA selected the CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) mission for development under a special support programme for the space industry in the new states of the unified Germany, with the Principal Investigator and his home institution GFZ Potsdam being ultimately responsible for the success of all mission phases. After three years of spacecraft manufactur ing and testing, the satellite was injected successfully into its final, near circular, almost polar and low altitude (450 km) orbit from the cosmodrome Plesetsk in Russia on July 15, 2000. After a nine month commissioning period during which all spacecraft systems and instruments were checked, calibrat...
