Oskar Klein Memorial Lectures, The (Vol 3)
This is an invaluable collection of colloquium-type lectures given by some of the most prominent theoretical physicists of today. In a form accessible to the interested general physicist, it covers topics ranging from the use of field-theoretical methods in different contexts via duality symmetries between various field theories, to the Ads/CFT correspondence and cosmology.
Fascism in Scandinavia, 1920-1940
Gives the reasons for fascism's lack of electoral appeal in Scandinavia, despite the Depression. Pp. 55-59 discuss the minor role played by antisemitism and racism in a very homogeneous society. While concepts of race biology were popular, racial prejudice was a marginal issue and could not draw a mass following. ǂc (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism)
Oskar Klein Centenary, The: Proceedings Of The Symposium
On September 15, 1994, Oskar Klein would have been 100 years old. In honour of his contributions to physics, a three-day symposium was held in Stockholm, Sweden, September 19-21, 1994. The symposium lectures provided a tour of exciting new developments in physics and highlighted the important roots of that development.
Democracy in Scandinavia
This companion volume to 'Scandinavian Politics Today' talks about the distinctive features of Scandinavian democracy, the state of Scandinavian democracy, and the classification of the Scandinavian democracies. It could serve as a textbook for courses on Scandinavian politics, legislative studies and comparative politics.
Tamed Power
Revolutionary changes in global and European politics have reawakened old fears that Europe will be dominated by an unpredictable German giant. The same changes have fueled new hopes for Germany and Europe as models of political pluralism in a peaceful and prosperous world. In fact, Peter J. Katzenstein explains, the current reality is too complex to fit either expectation. Katzenstein contends that a multilateral institutionalization of power is the most distinctive aspect of the relationship between Europe and Germany. Only the observer who is aware of this important fact can understand why Germany is willing to give up its new sovereign power. Although Germany is larger than any other member of the European Union and plays a crucial role in the economic and political life of Eastern Europe, its power is now funneled through the institutions of the European Union rather than erupting in a narrow, power-defined sense of national self-interest. The empirical chapters of this book explore the institutionalization of power relations between the European Union and Germany, as well as the relations of Germany and the European Union with most of the smaller European states.
Fascism: The 'fascist epoch'
The nature of 'fascism' has been hotly contested by scholars since the term was first coined by Mussolini in 1919. However, for the first time since Italian fascism appeared there is now a significant degree of consensus amongst scholars about how to approach the generic term, namely as a revolutionary form of ultra-nationalism. Seen from this perspective, all forms of fascism have three common features: anticonservatism, a myth of ethnic or national renewal and a conception of a nation in crisis. This collection includes articles that show this new consensus, which is inevitably contested, as well as making available material which relates to aspects of fascism independently of any sort of consensus and also covering fascism of the inter and post-war periods.This is a comprehensive selection of texts, reflecting both the extreme multi-faceted nature of fascism as a phenomenon and the extraordinary divergence of interpretations of fascism.
Generalized Ricci Flow
The generalized Ricci flow is a geometric evolution equation which has recently emerged from investigations into mathematical physics, Hitchin's generalized geometry program, and complex geometry. This book gives an introduction to this new area, discusses recent developments, and formulates open questions and conjectures for future study. The text begins with an introduction to fundamental aspects of generalized Riemannian, complex, and Kähler geometry. This leads to an extension of the classical Einstein-Hilbert action, which yields natural extensions of Einstein and Calabi-Yau structures as ‘canonical metrics’ in generalized Riemannian and complex geometry. The book then introduces g...
