The Wigner Symposium series is focussed on fundamental problems and new developments in physics and their experimental, theoretical and mathematical aspects. Particular emphasis is given to those topics which have developed from the work of Eugene P Wigner. The 2nd Wigner symposium is centered around notions of symmetry and geometry, the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum optics and particle physics. Other fields like dynamical systems, neural networks and physics of information are also represented.This volume brings together 19 plenary lectures which survey latest developments and more than 130 contributed research reports.
The Handbook of British Romanticism is a state of the art investigation of Romantic literature and theory, a field that probably changed more quickly and more fundamentally than any other traditional era in literary studies. Since the early 1980s, Romantic studies has widened its scope significantly: The canon has been expanded, hitherto ignored genres have been investigated and new topics of research explored. After these profound changes, intensified by the general crisis of literary theory since the turn of the millennium, traditional concepts such as subjectivity, imagination and the creative genius have lost their status as paradigms defining Romanticism. The handbook will feature discu...
Metropolitan research requires multidisciplinary perspectives in order to do justice to the complexities of metropolitan regions. This volume provides a scholarly and accessible overview of key methods and approaches in metropolitan research from a uniquely broad range of disciplines including architectural history, art history, heritage conservation, literary and cultural studies, spatial planning and planning theory, geoinformatics, urban sociology, economic geography, operations research, technology studies, transport planning, aquatic ecosystems research and urban epidemiology. It is this scope of disciplinary - and increasingly also interdisciplinary - approaches that allows metropolitan research to address recent societal challenges of urban life, such as mobility, health, diversity or sustainability.
English summary: The current German Environmental Permitting regime is segmented between the various environmental media whereas the European law favours a cross-media and therefore integrated approach. Based on principles of Swiss law, Julian Wagner develops a new concept for a German Permitting regime that retains the German legal regime's traditional structure but implements the European objective of protecting the environment as a whole. German description: Das nationale deutsche und das europaischen Recht im Bereich der Industrieanlagen differiert. Wahrend sich das deutsche Umweltrecht geschichtlich bedingt medienbezogen entwickelt hat, fordert das europaische Recht und insbesondere die...
Genehmigungsvorbehalte durchziehen das gesamte offentliche Recht und finden eine deutlich weitere Verbreitung, als es die gangige Differenzierung zwischen praventiven und repressiven Verboten mit Erlaubnisvorbehalt suggeriert. Meinhard Schroder entfaltet das Genehmigungsverwaltungsrecht als eine Querschnittsmaterie des offentlichen Rechts aus verwaltungs-, verfassungs- und europarechtlicher Perspektive. Ausgehend von einer Bestandsaufnahme, die die Vielfalt der Funktionen von Genehmigungsvorbehalten im geltenden Recht zeigt und ihre gesetzgeberische Ausgestaltung analysiert, werden die verfassungs- und europarechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen fur das Genehmigungsverwaltungsrecht ermittelt und eine neue Systematisierung vorgenommen. Die dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse bilden die Basis dafur, die gesetzgeberischen Handlungsoptionen im Bereich des Genehmigungsverwaltungsrechts auszuloten und auch rechtspolitische Impulse namentlich fur die "Kodifikationsfrage" zu geben.
andererseits provides a forum for research, commentary, and creative work on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, we welcome contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This issue features contributions by Leo A. Lensing, Norman M. Klein, Jens M. Gurr, and Julia Faisst.
Dust jacket, back cover: In this book, Risto Saarinen studies Martin Luther's understanding of the gift and related issues such as favours and benefits, faith and justification, virtues and merits, ethics and doctrine, law and Christ. He shows that Luther both continues and criticizes the classical discusssions regarding the differences and parallels between gifts and sales.
