When the renowned Polish director Jerzy Grotowski began his 1967 American workshop with these words, his students were stunned. But within four weeks they themselves had experienced the ' impossible.' In An Acrobat of the Heart, teacher-director-playwright Stephen Wangh reveals how Jerzy Grotowski's physical exercises can open a pathway to the actor's inner crea...
1924, deux athlètes britanniques triomphent aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris. Cette brillante victoire va plus loin que le simple exploit sportif. Le plus important dans ce triomphe, ce sont les raisons profondes qui les ont mené l’un et l’autre sur les chemins de la victoire. Harold Abrahams est juif et court pour combattre l’adversité qu’il a vécu à l’université de Cambridge. Eric Lidell est écossais, fils d’un missionnaire en Chine, qui court p...
Die Texte Jos 1, 23, 24, 1 Sam 12 und 1 Kön 8 deuten als "Reden" die zentralen Epochen der Geschichtsdarstellung von Dtn 1 - 2 Kön 25. Der Autor führt redaktions-, literar- und gattungskritische Analysen dieser Texte und ihrer Kontextbezüge durch. Anhand dieser Untersuchungen kann für die in Dtn 1 - 2 Kön 25 vorliegende Geschichtsdarstellung zwischen einer exilischen (DtrH) und einer umfangreichen nachexilischen Schicht (DtrS) differenziert we...

Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) has become a necessity rather than a specialization for electrical and computer engineers. This text offers a study of the subject, covering VLSI from basic design techniques to array processors. It describes VLSI design, develops physical pictures for CMOS circuits, and demonstrates the design methodology.
The most difficult problem most mechanical designers face at the conceptual design phase is the creation of design alternatives. This book introduces a methodology for creation and classification of mechanisms. It uses graph theory, combinatorial analysis, and computer algorithms to create kinematic structures of the same nature.
Concentrates on the development of the skills, education, and information needed for an accident investigation and reconstruction, including the necessary tools, some of the pitfalls facing the investigator/reconstructionist and the advances and techniques in the field.

Philosophie fragt nach dem Verh¿nis von Sein und Denken, von Dasein und Bestimmung. Der fr¿he Kant begegnet diesem Grundproblem der Philosophie in der Form, wie sie durch die rationalistische Schulmetaphysik gepr¿ wurde. Ausgehend von der Erkenntnis, dass Dasein keine Bestimmung, kein Pr¿kat ist, sondern die absolute Position einer Sache, greift er in die onto-theologische Diskussion seiner Zeit ein und entwickelt aus der Differenzierung zwisc...
This study challenges the conventional polarities used to describe British politics of the 1790s, Pitt versus Fox, Burke versus Paine, Church versus Dissent, ruling class versus working class, Jacobin versus anti-Jacobin. Such polarities were sedulously promoted by Pitt's wartime government, which applied 'Jacobin' shamelessly to all its critics and opponents, and thus foreshadowed the McCarthyite tactic of guilt by association. The author see...
