Major Financial Institutions of Europe 1994
The eighth edition of this directory supplies data on over 1000 financial institutions in Europe, principally banks, investment companies, insurance companies and leasing companies. Among the details given are names of chairmen, board members and senior management.
East Asian Social Movements
In the study of civil society and social movements, most cases are based in Western Europe and North America. These two areas of the world have similar histories and political ideals and structures in common which in turn, affect the structure of its civil society. In studying civil society in Asia, a different understanding of history, politics, and society is needed. The region’s long traditions of centralized, authoritarian states buttressed by Confucian and in some cases Communist ideologies may render this concept irrelevant. The chapters in this international volume cover most of the areas and countries traditionally defined as belonging to East Asia: Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong...
The Creation of Modern China, 18942008
No country has undergone a greater period of sustained and convulsive change than China in the twentieth century. This is its story, tracing the emergence of a modern China.
Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (XII)
The 13th International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE) was held at the Seoul Education and Culture Center, Korea in June 2008. Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (XII) contains the proceedings of this workshop. 51 research papers present the latest research in topics ranging from ENDE in nuclear power plants, eddy current testing, modeling, material characterization, to inverse problem and imaging and the application of electromagnetic nondestructive techniques.
Modern Revolution
Using a comparative historical methodology, this book analyzes and contrasts the 1989 Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia with China's Tiananmen Square rebellion from socio-cultural and political economic perspectives.
Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (XVII)
The demand for new and effective methods for the evaluation, maintenance and live-time testing of objects in fields as diverse as engineering, medicine and art, continues to grow. Electromagnetic non-destructive evaluation is a process by which an object can be assessed without permanent alteration by means of inducing electric currents or magnetic fields within the object and observing the electromagnetic response. This book presents selected papers from the 18th International Workshop on Electromagnetic Non-destructive Evaluation (ENDE), which was held in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, on June 25-28, 2013. The aim of the workshop was to provide an international forum for the discussion of the state-of-the-art and perspectives in the field from the view of science, technology and engineering. The book is divided into five main sections: advanced sensors; analytical and numerical modeling and biomedical applications; innovative industrial applications; new developments; and, solutions of inverse problems. Containing 40 peer-reviewed papers, it will be of interest to all those whose work involves electromagnetic non-destructive evaluation, whatever their discipline.
Inverse Problems in Underwater Acoustics
This volume provides recent and useful results for bottom recognition, inverse scattering in acoustic wave guides and ocean acoustic tomography, plus a discussion of some of the new algorithms, such as those related to matched-field processing, which have recently been used for inverting experimental data.
The Power of Tiananmen
In the spring of 1989 over 100,000 students in Beijing initiated the largest student revolt in human history. Television screens across the world filled with searing images from Tiananmen Square of protesters thronging the streets, massive hunger strikes, tanks set ablaze, and survivors tending to the dead and wounded after a swift and brutal government crackdown. Dingxin Zhao's award-winning The Power of Tiananmen is the definitive treatment of these historic events. Along with grassroots tales and interviews with the young men and women who launched the demonstrations, Zhao carries out a penetrating analysis of the many parallel changes in China's state-society relations during the 1980s. Such changes prepared an alienated academy, gave rise to ecology-based student mobilization, restricted government policy choices, and shaped student emotions and public opinion, all of which, Zhao argues, account for the tragic events in Tiananmen.
