Staging the Past
This volume contains three sections of essays which examine the role of commemoration and public celebrations in the creation of a national identity in Habsburg lands. It also seeks to engage historians of culture and of nationalism in other geographic fields as well as colleagues who work on Habsburg Central Europe, but write about nationalism from different vantage points. There is hope that this work will help generate a dialogue, especially with colleagues who live in the regions that were analyzed. Many of the authors consider the commemorations discussed in this volume from very different points of view, as they themselves are strongly rooted in a historical context that remains much closer to the nationalism we critique.
Barock, ein Ort des Gedächtnisses
'Aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive bietet das Barock breiten Raum zur Analyse individueller und kollektiver Erinnerungskultur, kann als metaphorischer Gedõchtnisort bezeichnet werden, der - besonders in der zentraleuropõischen Region - nicht nur in Relation zu k3nstlerischem Vokabular steht, sondern auch symbolische Bez3ge zu Mentalitõten und zur politischen Kultur unterhõlt. Der Rekurs auf das Barock, auf Inhalte und Denkfiguren, die diesen grundlegend bestimmen, deutet auf ein 3berraschendes Verwandtschaftsverhõltnis hin: Das Barock bietet sich als Interpretament der Moderne und Postmoderne an, õhneln doch die im Barock freigelegten Ambivalenzen jenen Heteronomien, die nach de...
The Correspondence of Robert Boyle, 1636–61 Vol 1
Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was one of the most influential scientific and theological thinkers of his time. This is the first edition of his correspondence, transcribed from the original manuscripts. It is fully annotated, with an introduction and general index. The four volumes cover the time periods of Volume 1: 1936-91, Volume 2: 1662-5, Volume 3: 1666-7 and finally Volume 4 1668 to 77.
Molecular Complexes in Earth's Planetary, Cometary and Interstellar Atmospheres
This book introduces systematically the concept of weakly-bound complexes into the broad field of atmospheric sciences. To fill up the gap between our rapidly expanding knowledge of the individual properties of Van der Waals and hydrogen-bonded molecules, and our understanding of their role in the atmospheric processes, an ensemble of related topics are covered by a team of expert co-authors. The general properties of the weakly bound molecular complexes (or ?clusters?) are discussed, as well as their distribution in the planetary atmospheres. Collision-induced and dimeric absorption and emission are considered in the context of atmospheric spectroscopy. The advanced experimental techniques which enable us to study the spectroscopic features of molecular complexes in the gas phase, or which are adsorbed, are reviewed. The role of molecular complexes in the cometary atmosphere, the Earth mesosphere, and the atmospheres of the giant planets and some of their satellites are also discussed in detail.

Glycoscience: Chemistry and Chemical Biology I–III
Glycostructures play a highly diverse and crucial role in a myriad of organisms and systems in biology, physiology, medicine, and bioengineering and technology. Only in recent years have the tools been developed to partly understand the highly complex functions and chemistry behind them. In this set the editors present up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology, in the form of a comprehensive survey. The text is accompanied by over 2000 figures, chemical structures and reaction schemes and more than 9000 references. The accompanying CD-ROM enables, besides text searches, searches for structures, schemes, and other information.
Between Chance and Choice
Are choice and free will possible in a world governed by deterministic fundamental equations? What sense would determinism make if many events and processes in the world seemed to be governed by chance? These and many other questions emphasize the fact that chance and choice are two leading actors on stage whenever issues of determinism are under discussion. This volume collects essays by accomplished scientists and philosophers, addressing numerous facets of the concept of determinism. The contributions cover viewpoints from mathematics, physics, cognitive science and social science as well as various branches of philosophy. They offer valuable reading for everyone interested in the interdi...
Honda K-Series Engine Swaps
The Honda K-Series engine was introduced in 2001, replacing the B-Series as the engine of choice for Honda enthusiasts. These new K-Series engines are the most powerful stock Honda/Acura engines you can get. They featured new technology such as a roller rocker valvetrain, better flowing heads, and advanced variable cam timing technology that made these engines suddenly the thing to have. And that's where the engine swappers come in. In Honda K-Series Engine Swaps, author Aaron Bonk guides you through all the details, facts, and figures you will need to complete a successful K-Series swap into your older chassis. All the different engine variants are covered, as well as interchangeability, compatibility, which accessories work, wiring and controls operation, drivetrain considerations, and more. While you can still modify your existing B-Series, dollar for dollar, you can't make more power than you can with a Honda K-Series engine. If you have an older chassis and are looking for a serious injection of power and technology, swapping a K-Series engine is a great option. Honda K-Series Engine Swaps will tell you everything you need to know.
