Die junge, wohlhabende Amerikanerin Lou langweilt sich in London und in ihrer Ehe mit dem ebenso erfolgreichen wie talentlosen Porträtmaler Rico Carrington. Ihm fehlen jene spontane Leidenschaft und unbändige Vitalität, als deren Verkörperung Lou den goldbraunen Hengst St. Mawr sieht, den sie für Rico gekauft hat - obwohl sie weiß, daß Rico dem feurigen Hengst nicht gewachsen ist.

by Paul Ricoeur It is already a piece of good fortune to find oneself understood by a reader who is at once demanding and benevolent. It is an even greater fortune to be better understood by another than by one's own self. In effect, when I look back, I am rather struck by the discontinuity among my works, each of which takes on a specific problem and apparently has little more in common with its predecessor than the fact of having left an ove...

During the years 1987 and 1988 we published a series of articles on the molding of thermoplastics materials in the magazine British Plastics and Rubber (B P & R). These articles were very well received and we also received a large number of requests for reprints. In order to cater for what is obviously a need in the thermoplas­ tics molding industry, we therefore brought the information together and produced it in the form of a book. We can on...

The first part of this book enables the reader to be familiarized with basic concepts of pharmacokinetics (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion - ADM E) following single dose administration. In this part these principles are applied to clinically relevant situations, namely, multiple or (sub) chronic administration. In day to day practice besides acute drug response, often a longer duration of action is desired. This situation ne...

A study of the economic theories of Gardiner Means, discussing his ideas of administered pricing and profit maximization within the giant corporation, the possible links between industrial structure and macroeconomic performance, and the micro foundations of macroeconomics.

1. 1 Introduction As offshore oil production moves into deeper water, compliant structural systems are becoming increasingly important. Examples of this type of structure are tension leg platfonns (TLP's), guyed tower platfonns, compliant tower platfonns, and floating production systems. The common feature of these systems, which distinguishes them from conventional jacket platfonns, is that dynamic amplification is minimized by designing the ...

When my husband died in 1973 I had to go through his W papers. Some of them were still in manuscript form and had never before been published. I selected several of these, plus a number of other articles that had appeared in periodicals but were no longer in print. This book is the result. At my request, Richard Ebeling wrote an introduction which he has done in great detail. The depth of Ebeling's understanding of my husband's work is certain...

1. 1 THE STUDY OF CONFLICT Polemos Pantoon Pater Heraclitus Conflict on all levels of organic existence is pervasive, persistent, ubiquitous. Conflict is the universal experience of all life forms. Organisms are bound in multiple conflict-configurations and -coalitions, which have their own dynamic and their own logic. This does not mean, however, that the more paroxysmal forms of conflict behaviour, naked violence and destruction, are also un...

This volume contains papers which, for the most part, are based on talks given at an international conference on Lattices, Semigroups, and Universal Algebra that was held in Lisbon, Portugal during the week of June 20-24, 1988. The conference was dedicated to the memory of Professor Antonio Almeida Costa, a Portuguese mathematician who greatly contributed to the development of th algebra in Portugal, on the 10 anniversary of his death. The the...

Directed towards graduate students and researchers in modern theory control, this text presents a general technique for the synthesis of controllers, and indicates areas where further research is indicated.

In many ways this book is a team effort. Many people have helped me in writing it. Firstly, I thank my wife who read the manuscript twice correcting grammatical errors and spelling and clarifying many sentences. Secondly, I thank friends and colleagues at St. Mary's Hospital, including Mrs Jean Emerson, Renal Unit Social Worker and Mrs June Morgan, Senior Dietician, both of whom contributed technical information, Sisters Christine Holmes and M...

Methoden der Programm-Entwicklung kennt man seitdem es Computer gibt. Auf­ grund der Veränderung der Leistungen, die auf dem Computer bewältigt werden können, verschieben sich ebenfalls seit dieser Zeit die Ziele der Programmierung. Während es in der Anfangsphase mehr darauf ankam, möglichst viele Maschinen­ befehle auf dem verfügbaren kleinen Speicherplatz darzustellen, ging es in den 50er und 60er Jahren primär darum, möglichst schnelle und ...

Die moderne Volkswirtschaftliche Gesamtrechnung ist aus einer langen Entwicklung von Quesnay, über Marx und Leontief entstanden. Von der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Hauptentwicklung lange unbeachtet, hat Joseph Lang nicht nur 1807 und 1811 zwei wegweisende Bücher zur Fortentwicklung der Quesnayschen Idee geschrieben, sondern 1815 in einem bisher völlig übersehenen Festvortrag eine erste Matrixdarstellung für eine Vier-Sektoren-Quesnay-Ökonom...

The Elizabethan age was one of unbounded vitality and exuberance. Nowhere is the color and action of life more vividly revealed than in the rogue books and cony-catching (confidence game) pamphlets of the sixteenth century. This book presents seven of the age's liveliest works: Walker's Manifest Detection of Dice Play, Awdeley's Fraternity of Vagabonds, Harman's Caveat for Common Cursitors Vulgarly Called Vagabonds, Greene's Notable Discovery ...

In our view, the First International Penicillium and Aspergillus Workshop held in Baarn and Amsterdam in May, 1985, was a great success. The assembly in one place of so many specialists in these two genera produced both interesting viewpoints and lively discussions. But more particularly, a remarkable cohesion of ideas emerged, borne primarily of the realisation that taxonomy has passed from the hands of the solitary morphologist. The future o...

This book is about a new and different way of approaching and studying the history of the built environment and the use of historical precedents in design. However, although what I am proposing is new for what is currently called architectural history, both my approach and even my conclusions are not that new in other fields, as I discovered when I attempted to find supporting evidence. * In fact, of all the disciplines dealing with various as...

This series of books, devoted to aspects of blood cell biochemistry, development, immu­ nology, and ultrastructure, has evolved and separated from the long-established Plenum series Subcellular Biochemistry. It is the intention of these volumes to draw together related areas of investigation and to provide, in the fullness of time, complete coverage of this rapidly advancing important biomedical discipline. Both fundamental and medically appli...

This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held to assess the current state of the analysis of the labour market and of industrial relations and their relationship to economic performance.

Introduces to researchers the content of the Chinese Communist Party's first official newspaper, the Liberation daily, and examines its role in the acceptance and implementation of the party's goals during its span from May 1941 to March 1947. Includes chronological and topical outlines of the paper
