Portals to the Past and to the Future
The advent of the digital era has raised questions on the future course of library development. The challenge of maintaining a balance between their educational, cultural and service roles has presented libraries with new challenges - challenges which their rich and varied media holdings, modern technical infrastructure and information specialist competence well equip them to face. This fourth revised and updated English edition of "Portals to the Past and to the Future" by Jürgen Seefeldt and Ludger Syré, now in its fifth German edition, is an in-depth state-of-the art report on current German librarianship. Lavishly illustrated, the book traces the history of libraries in Germany, portra...
Die tolerierte Universität
Kaum eine Universit�t hat so viele Umbrueche erlebt wie die 1702 von Kaiser Leopold I. im habsburgischen Schlesien gegruendete Universit�t Breslau. Sie gelangte 1741 unter preu�ische Landeshoheit, ihre deutsche Geschichte endete 1945. Die heutige polnische Universit�t Wroclaw hat sich in die Tradition dieser nunmehr dreihundertj�hrigen Geschichte gestellt und das Jubil�um von 2002 unter internationaler Beteiligung gefeiert. Der deutsche Beitrag dazu war die an mehreren Orten gezeigte Ausstellung �Die tolerierte Universit�t�. Das vorliegende Katalogbuch dokumentiert diese Ausstellung und bietet in zwei weiteren Teilen Quellen und wissenschaftliche Beitr�ge. Themenschwerpun...
Fractals, Quasicrystals, Chaos, Knots and Algebraic Quantum Mechanics
At the end of the workshop on "New Theoretical Concepts in Physical Chemistry", one of the participants made an attempt to present a first impression of its achievements from his own personal standpoint. Appar ently his views reflected a general feeling, so that the organizers thought they would be suitable as a presentation of the proceedings for future readers. That is the background from which this foreword was born. The scope of the workshop is a very broad one. There are contribu tions from mathematics, physics, crystallography, chemistry and biology; the problems are approached either by means of axiomatic and rigorous methods, or at an empirical phenomenological level. This same diver...
Hidden Hunger
Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.
Progress and Visions in Quantum Theory in View of Gravity
This book focuses on a critical discussion of the status and prospects of current approaches in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, in particular concerning gravity. It contains a carefully selected cross-section of lectures and discussions at the seventh conference “Progress and Visions in Quantum Theory in View of Gravity” which took place in fall 2018 at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. In contrast to usual proceeding volumes, instead of reporting on the most recent technical results, contributors were asked to discuss visions and new ideas in foundational physics, in particular concerning foundations of quantum field theory. A special focus has been put on the question of which physical principles of quantum (field) theory can be considered fundamental in view of gravity. The book is mainly addressed to mathematicians and physicists who are interested in fundamental questions of mathematical physics. It allows the reader to obtain a broad and up-to-date overview of a fascinating active research area.
