(Un)Believing in Modern Society
This landmark study in the sociology of religion sheds new light on the question of what has happened to religion and spirituality since the 1960s in modern societies. Exposing several analytical weaknesses of today’s sociology of religion, (Un)Believing in Modern Society presents a new theory of religious-secular competition and a new typology of ways of being religious/secular. The authors draw on a specific European society (Switzerland) as their test case, using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to show how the theory can be applied. Identifying four ways of being religious/secular in a modern society: 'institutional', 'alternative', 'distanced' and 'secular' they show how and why these forms have emerged as a result of religious-secular competition and describe in what ways all four forms are adapted to the current, individualized society.

Robotics in Practice
THE REAL THING by Isaac Asimov Back in 1939, when I was still a teenager, I began to write (and publish) a series of stories about robots which, for the first time in science fiction, were pictured as having been deliberately engineered to do their job safely. They were not intended to be creaky Gothic menaces, nor outlets for mawkish sentiment. They were simply well-designed machines. Beginning in 1942, I crystallized this notion in what I called 'The Three Laws of Robotics' and, in 1950, nine of my robot stories were collected into a book, I, Robot. I did not at that time seriously believe that I would live to see robots in action and robotics becoming a booming industry .... Yet here we a...
Robot Oriented Design
The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series focuses on the implementation of automation and robot technology to renew the construction industry and to arrest its declining productivity. The series is intended to give professionals, researchers, lecturers, and students basic conceptual and technical skills and implementation strategies to manage, research, or teach the implementation of advanced automation and robot-technology-based processes and technologies in construction. Currently, the implementation of modern developments in product structures (modularity and design for manufacturing), organizational strategies (just in time, just in sequence, and pulling production), and in...

Produktionsplanung und –steuerung
Das vorliegende Buches stellt ausgewählte Planungsmodelle sowie Ansätze und Verfahren zur Lösung von Planungsproblemen der operativen Produktionsplanung und -steuerung vor und analysiert diese. Im Mittelpunkt der Diskussion stehen zwei wichtige, höchst praxisrelevante Aspekte, die in der aktuellen Forschung intensiv diskutiert werden: die Berücksichtigung der knappen Kapazitäten und der Umgang mit Unsicherheit. Die Autoren orientieren sich an der operativen Produktionsplanung und -steuerung als Rückgrat der Planung von Produktionsprozessen in kommerziell verfügbaren IT-Systemen. Umsetzungen dieser Ansätze in der industriellen Praxis werden exemplarisch erläutert. Dadurch wendet sich das Buch an Wissenschaftlicher, vor allem an Doktoranden, die sich über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung informieren wollen, ebenso wie an Anwender, die die Planung in ihren Unternehmen verbessern wollen.
