A study of Mark Twain's social and political attitudes. It traces the growth of Twain's convictions and shows his relationship to the age in which he lived. The text is based on research in newspapers of the day, personal letters and other material, as well as analysis of works by Twain.

In this collection of stories, Ruth Hamel uses a blend of humour, irony and telling detail to explore the lies that people tell each other - not just the fibs, prevarications and exaggerations, but the deceptions that spring from deliberate silence.

Examines the most commonly encountered stages of organizational evolution, identifies typical crisis points faced by growing companies, and suggests ways of managing these crisis points as the size and complexity of companies change.

This title introduces state-of-the-art design principles for SOI circuit design, and is primarily concerned with circuit-related issues. It considers SOI material in terms of implementation that is promising or has been used elsewhere in circuit development, with historical perspective where appropriate.

Soft Condensed Matter commonly deals with materials that are mechanically soft and, more importantly, particularly prone to thermal fluctuation effects. Charged soft matter systems are especially interesting: they can be manufactured artificially as polyelectrolytes to serve as superabsorbers in dypers, as flocculation and retention agents, as thickeners and gelling agents, and as oil-recovery process aids. They are also abundant in living org...

Starwirtschaftsanwalt Urs Blank, fünfundvierzig, Fachmann für Fusionsverhandlungen, hat seine Gefühle im Griff. Doch dann gerät sein Leben aus den Fugen. Ein Trip mit halluzinogenen Pilzen führt zu einer gefährlichen Persönlichkeitsveränderung, aus der ihn niemand zurückzuholen vermag. Blank flieht in den Wald und lernt dort zu überleben. Bis er endlich begreift: Es gibt nur einen Weg, um sich aus diesem Alptraum zu befreien.

This volume presents the proceedings of a colloquium inspired by the former President of the French Mathematical Society, Michel Herve. The aim was to promote the development of mathematics through applications. Since the ancient supports the new, it seemed appropriate to center the theoretical conferences on new subjects. Since the world is movement and creation, the theoretical conferences were planned on mechanics (movement) and bifurcation...

In present-day technology the engineer is faced with complicated problems which can be solved only by advanced numerical methods using digital computers. He should have mathematical models at his disposal in order to simulate the behavior of physical systems. In many cases, including problems in physics, mechanics, chemistry, biology, civil engineering, electrodynamics, solid mechanics, space engineering, petroleum engineering, weather-forecas...
