Paleogene Fossil Birds
In the present book the Paleogene fossil record of birds is detailed for the first time on a worldwide scale. I have developed the idea for such a project for several years, and think that it is an appropriate moment to present a summary of our c- rent knowledge of the early evolution of modern birds. Meanwhile not only is there a confusing diversity of fossil taxa, but also significant progress has been made concerning an understanding of the higher-level phylogeny of extant birds. Hypotheses which were not considered even a decade ago are now well supported by independent analyses of different data. In several cases these group together morphologically very different avian groups and allow a better understanding of the mosaic character distribution found in Paleogene fossil birds. The book aims at bringing some of this information together, and many of the following data are based on first-hand examination of fossil specimens.
The Bennetts
The Bennetts: An Acting Family is a chronicle of one of the royal families of stage and screen. The saga begins with Richard Bennett, a small-town Indiana roughneck who grew up to be one of the bright lights of the New York stage during the early twentieth century. In time, however, Richard's fame was eclipsed by that of his daughters, Constance and Joan, who went to Hollywood in the 1920s and found major success there. Constance became the highest-paid actress of the early 1930s, earning as much as $30,000 a week in melodramas. Later she reinvented herself as a comedienne in the classic comedy Topper, with Cary Grant.. After a slow start as a blonde ingenue, Joan dyed her hair black and bec...

Adoptions
Both architect and urban planner, Kniess' practice extends beyond the classic one of designing buildings into the exploration of new areas of responsibility, work forms, and functional fields of architecture. This monograph presents a collection of extensively documented projects, including residential designs, research projects, and installations.
With String Theory to the Big Bang
This book takes the reader on a journey to the Big Bang, learning on the way about various physical facts, observations, and theories. String theory is introduced as a possible all-encompassing physical theory that has the potential to grasp and describe the Big Bang. Its sometimes-spectacular predictions, such as additional spatial dimensions or parallel universes, are explained concisely.
Differential Geometric Foundations of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
While all field theories are nowadays available in a modern, differential geometric, coordinate free formulation on manifolds this has been so far only rudimentary accomplished in general non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In this work it is shown how a fitting geometric structure can be derived for arbitrary compact (discrete Schottky Systems) thermodynamic systems, such as stars and black holes, using only a few thermodynamic principles. This leads to deep geometric insights. Some central results are the following: while in the theory of relativity the energy-momentum tensor determines the geometry of the space, in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the 1-form of the entropy production rate is r...

Vocabulary Strategy Training to Enhance Second Language Acquisition in English as a Foreign Language
This volume brings together three important aspects within strategy studies. First, it reviews the most outstanding previous studies in the field of vocabulary learning and communication strategies and their role in the second language acquisition and teaching process. Second, it provides empirical research testing general hypotheses in the field on how vocabulary learning strategies are a key component of vocabulary development and how their training improves their frequency of use and effectiveness. Finally, the book proposes a program for strategy training in the L2 classroom and illustrates it with examples from concrete vocabulary learning strategies and proposes exercises to apply them in an autonomous way. This volume will shed light on the field of vocabulary learning strategies and illustrate their practical utility in the foreign language classroom in order to improve the knowledge that teachers and learners have of them.
Germany's Economic Performance
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of Germany's economic performance at the turn of the twenty-first century. The period under observation and analysis stretches from Germany's unification in 1990 over the death of the German Mark to first experiences with the Euro, with particular attention given to East Germany.
