Mathematical Aspects of Boundary Element Methods
Boundary element methods relate to a wide range of engineering applications, including fluid flow, fracture analysis, geomechanics, elasticity, and heat transfer. Thus, new results in the field hold great importance not only to researchers in mathematics, but to applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. A two-day minisymposium Mathematical Aspects of Boundary Element Methods at the IABEM conference in May 1998 brought together top rate researchers from around the world, including Vladimir Maz’ya, to whom the conference was dedicated. Focusing on the mathematical and numerical analysis of boundary integral operators, this volume presents 25 papers contributed to the symposium. Math...

Secret Intelligence in the European States System, 1918-1989
The history of secret intelligence, like secret intelligence itself, is fraught with difficulties surrounding both the reliability and completeness of the sources, and the motivations behind their release—which can be the product of ongoing propaganda efforts as well as competition among agencies. Indeed, these difficulties lead to the Scylla and Charybdis of overestimating the importance of secret intelligence for foreign policy and statecraft and also underestimating its importance in these same areas—problems that generally beset the actual use of secret intelligence in modern states. But in recent decades, traditional perspectives have given ground and judgments have been revised in ...
The Final Act
The first in-depth account of the historic diplomatic agreement that served as a blueprint for ending the Cold War The Helsinki Final Act was a watershed of the Cold War. Signed by thirty-five European and North American leaders at a summit in Finland in the summer of 1975, the agreement presented a vision for peace based on common principles and cooperation across the Iron Curtain. The Final Act is the first in-depth account of the diplomatic saga that produced this historic agreement. Drawing on research in eight countries and multiple languages, this gripping book explains the Final Act’s emergence from the parallel crises of the Soviet bloc and the West during the 1960s, the strategies...
Transcending the Cold War
In 1989 and 1990 the map of Europe was transformed peacefully, without the wars which caused the other great ruptures of the international order in 1815, 1870, 1918, and 1945. What role did international summitry play in the denouement of the Cold War? Scholars have tended to focus on long-term systemic factors, Gorbachev's reform agenda, or the impact in 1989 of 'people power'. This major multinational study, based on archives from both sides of the 'Iron Curtain', adopts a novel perspective by exploring the contribution of international statecraft to the dissolution of Europe's bipolar order. This is done through the examination of key summit meetings from 1970 to 1990 across three phases ...
Roos Af Hjelmsäter
The Swedish Noble family Roos af Hjelmsäter (Roos in America) was introduced to House of Nobles in 1625 in Stockholm, Sweden. Earliest recorded ancestor in this book was born in 1240. Author's grandfather, Bo Christian Roos af Hjelmsäter (1871-1948) (Robert Christian Roos in America), was born in Bergshamra, Sweden to Johan Christian Roos and Anna Sofia Blomqvist. He immigrated with his parents and three sisters in 1884 settling in Chicago, Illinois.
Kritisches Forschen in der Sozialen Arbeit
Das Thema 'Forschung' hat Konjunktur - allerdings fällt auf, dass in den Diskursen relativ wenig Bezug auf eine theoretische Verortung genommen wird. Eine Selbstreflexion der Wissenschaft Sozialer Arbeit findet kaum statt. Hier setzt dieser Band an, in dem wesentliche Dimensionen 'kritischen Forschens' erarbeitet werden. Es geht um die Formulierung gesellschaftskritischer Perspektiven, die sich im Erkenntnisinteresse, in der Bestimmung des Analysegegenstandes und den daran anschließenden Fragestellungen theoretisch-inhaltlich konkretisieren. Und es erfolgt eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Kontextbedingungen, dem Forschungsprozess selbst und den daraus resultierenden Positionierungen.
Origins of the European Security System
Based on newly declassified documents, this edited volume explores the significance of the earlyHelsinki process as a means of redefining and broadening the concept of security during the latter half of the Cold War.
