Age of Entanglement
Age of Entanglement explores the patterns of connection linking German and Indian intellectuals from the nineteenth century to the years after the Second World War. Kris Manjapra traces the intersecting ideas and careers of philologists, physicists, poets, economists, and others who shared ideas, formed networks, and studied one another's worlds. Moving beyond well-rehearsed critiques of colonialism, this study recasts modern intellectual history in terms of the knotted intellectual itineraries of seeming strangers. Collaborations in the sciences, arts, and humanities produced extraordinary meetings of German and Indian minds. Meghnad Saha met Albert Einstein, Stella Kramrisch brought the Ba...
Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns
The two volume set LNCS 8047 and 8048 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns, CAIP 2013, held in York, UK, in August 2013. The 142 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 243 submissions. The scope of the conference spans the following areas: 3D TV, biometrics, color and texture, document analysis, graph-based methods, image and video indexing and database retrieval, image and video processing, image-based modeling, kernel methods, medical imaging, mobile multimedia, model-based vision approaches, motion analysis, natural computation for digital imagery, segmentation and grouping, and shape representation and analysis.
A journey trough countries and history
The book covers the most important historical events of the twentieth century and the new millennium, from a very special standpoint, that one of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. In this respect, we have both a reading of history and a brief legal analysis, almost a “divertissement” that combines two different areas of the humanities.
Scientific Research In World War II
This book seeks to explore how scientists across a number of countries managed to cope with the challenging circumstances created by World War II. No scientist remained unaffected by the outbreak of WWII. As the book shows, there were basically two opposite ways in which the war encroached on the life of a scientific researcher. In some cases, the outbreak of the war led to engagement in research in support of a war-waging country; in the other extreme, it resulted in their marginalisation. The book, starting with the most marginalised scientist and ending with those fully engaged in the war-effort, covers the whole spectrum of enormously varying scientific fates. Distinctive features of the volume include: a focus on the experiences of ‘ordinary’ scientists, rather than on figureheads like Oppenheimer or Otto Hahn contributions from a range of renowned academics including Mark Walker, an authority in the field of science in World War II a detailed study of the Netherlands during the German Occupation This richly illustrated volume will be of major interest to researchers of the history of science, World War II, and Modern History.

Der Tod an der Grenze
Ausführlich, fesselnd, gut verständlich und mit viel Insider-Wissen widmet sich der Autor den Strafverfahren wegen der Toten an der innerdeutschen Grenze und der Berliner Mauer. Das Verfahren gegen Erich Honecker wird anschaulich geschildert, ebenso der Strafprozess gegen Egon Krenz und Günter Schabowski. Sodann wendet sich der Autor den "Mauerschützenverfahren" zu, vornehmlich den unter seinem Vorsitz geführten. Der vielen Todesopfer wird angemessen gedacht, der Autor würdigt die Persönlichkeiten der Angeklagten, die Eigentümlichkeiten des einen oder anderen beteiligten Richters und Rechtsanwaltes werden in amüsanter Form erwähnt. Die Tötung eines Grenzsoldaten durch einen westlichen Fluchthelfer im Jahre 1962 und der 37 Jahre später stattfindende Prozess finden ebenfalls Erwähnung. Abschließend geht der Autor der Frage nach der Rechtsstaatlichkeit der geschilderten Verfahren nach und setzt sich insbesondere kritisch mit den Ergebnissen der von ihm geleiteten "Mauerschützenverfahren" auseinander.
