Investigating the Universe
Professor Zdenek Kopal is sixty-seven this year even though his scientific activity, enthusiasm and springy step hardly betray the ad vancement in years. He carne to Manchester as Professor of Astronomy thirty years ago after a very fruitful association of fourteen years with the Harvard Observatory. Much impressed with the young man, Harlow Shapley, who with characteristic insight had recognised in Kopal the qualities that have since made him an outstanding leader in ec1ipsing binary research, had invited him over as a Research Associate. In the subsequent decade Kopal set about the task of introducing analytical rigour in the solution of orbit al elements that hitherto had depended ex c1us...

Stability of Structures
A crucial element of structural and continuum mechanics, stability theory has limitless applications in civil, mechanical, aerospace, naval and nuclear engineering. This text of unparalleled scope presents a comprehensive exposition of the principles and applications of stability analysis. It has been proven as a text for introductory courses and various advanced courses for graduate students. It is also prized as an exhaustive reference for engineers and researchers. The authors' focus on understanding of the basic principles rather than excessive detailed solutions, and their treatment of each subject proceed from simple examples to general concepts and rigorous formulations. All the results are derived using as simple mathematics as possible. Numerous examples are given and 700 exercise problems help in attaining a firm grasp of this central aspect of solid mechanics. The book is an unabridged republication of the 1991 edition by Oxford University Press and the 2003 edition by Dover, updated with 18 pages of end notes.

Geschichte des Buchhandels in Tschechien und in der Slowakei
Die Geschichte des Buchhandels in der ehemaligen Tschechoslowakei ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der behandelte geographische Raum nur relativ kurze Zeit einen gemeinsamen Staat bildete, und zwar 1919-1992, unterbrochendurch die vorubergehende Trennung 1938-1945. Bohmen und Mahren einerseits, die Slowakei unter der Bezeichnung Ober-Ungarn andererseits, gehorten zwar jahrhundertelang (seit 1526) zur Habsburger Monarchie, aber in verschiedenen Reichsteilen, die unterschiedliche rechtlich-soziale Rahmenbedingungenboten. Zdenek ?imecek gelingt es, unter Berucksichtigungdieser historischen Rahmenbedingungen Buchproduktion, Distribution und Rezeption bei den vielfaltigen beteiligten Volkern - Tschechen, Slowaken, Deutschen, Juden, Ungarn, Ruthenen und Polen - ubersichtlich darzustellen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf dem langen Prozess der nationalen "Wiedergeburt" im 19. Jahrhundert liegt. Zdenek ?imecek bezieht dabei auch Aspekte der Pressegeschichte ein und hebt die Ergebnisse der Leserforschung hervor. Der Band erganzt vorzuglich die in derselben Reihe erschienenen Werke zum ungarischen und osterreichischen Buchhandel.
Identity and Image
This book explores the image and identity of émigré painters, sculptors and graphic artists from Nazi Germany in Britain between 1933 and 1945. It focuses on a neglected field of Exile Studies, that of exiled artists in Britain. Methodologies used in this study have been developed by Exile Studies and History of Art, but also by Postcolonialism, scholars of which usually apply their ideas to the Afro-Asian emigration of the second part of the twentieth century. Thus this study represents methodologically a new way of looking at the emigration from Nazi Germany. Identity and Image is divided into five chapters: After an introductory Chapter One (historiography of the topic, methodology of t...
Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry
Provides a one-volume overall picture of the largest of the classical divisions of organic chemistry, suitable for the graduate or advanced undergraduate student, as well as for research workers, both specialists in the field and those engaged in another discipline and requiring knowledge of heterocyclic chemistry. It represents Volume 9 of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry and utilizes the general chapters which appear in the 8-volume work. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this the most authoritative one-volume account of modern heterocyclic chemistry available.
