Gibt es etwas Deutscheres als Kommissar Derrick, die vollkommene Verkörperung von Durchschnittlichkeit, Phlegma und Beamtenkarriere? Phänomene wie den deutschen Geist im Streifenwagen, Ginger Rogers und Clintons Verfehlungen, Andreottis Mafiaprozess und die neue Computerkultur kann niemand besser erklären als Umberto Eco. Ein Band voll ironisch-intelligenter Parodien.

Current Topics in Developmental Biology provides a comprehensive survey of the major topics in the field of developmental biology. The volumes are valuable to researchers in animal and plant development, as well as to students and professionals who want an introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development.

By reconstructing it and tracing its vicissitudes, David Conway rehabilitates a time-honoured conception of philosophy, originating in Plato and Aristotle, which makes theoretical wisdom its aim. Wisdom is equated with possessing a demonstrably correct understanding of why the world exists and has the broad character it does. Adherents of this conception maintained the world to be the demonstrable creation of a divine intelligence in whose con...

Encore Tricolore Nouvelle Edition has been written to help your students achieve excellent results at all stages of their French learning.

Provides insight into the state of the practice in geotechnical measurements. This book includes observations of the physical state of subsurface materials and how that state responds to changes in the physical environment. Divided into two sections, it focuses on laboratory measurements and the application of methods to measure performance.

A series of essays addressing concerns regarding to the acquisition, organization and use of information sources related to the study and teaching of English literature. Among the issues covered are the changed literary canon and the impact of electronic resources on traditional print.

Provides information on instrumentation and measurements to monitor performance of all types of dams for owners, engineers, and regulators. This report presents the methodology and process for the selection, installation, operation, maintenance, use, and evaluation of systems for dams, appurtenant structures, their foundations, and environment.

Presents the results of research studies and case histories with an emphasis on innovative equipment, grouts, or methodologies. Topics covered include: compensation grouting, superjet grouting, silicate-grouted sand, cement grouting, grout injection pressures, fly ash-cement cellular grouts, flowable grout mixes, contaminated grout, and more.

Contains 38 papers that aim to advance understanding of measuring, characterizing, and predicting the properties, behavior, and performance of unsaturated materials typically used in geotechnical engineering practice. This work addresses materials such as coarse-grained soils, compacted soils, geotextiles, loess, residual soils, and shales.

Surveying important technologies used in the remediation of contaminated aquifers, this book provides a detailed analysis of each approach. It covers techniques such as simple screening model and field application, pump-and-treat, bioremediation, steam flooding, and air sparging. It also discusses the benefits and limitations of each approach.

Dealing with rock mechanic research and practice, this work illustrates the power of numerical simulations to facilitate the understanding of complex behavior or the improvement of a challenging design. It contains a number of case histories to reinforce the notion of improving design through careful modeling.

Presents information in active research and practical interest in the field of soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering. This book covers topics including methods for liquefaction assessment, constitutive modeling, cyclic shear strength, soil-structure interaction, dam engineering, soil improvement, and probabilistic methods.

Focuses on the state of the art in slope stability analysis, design, and practice. This collection of 26 papers seeks to use modern analysis and instrumentation tools to better define the factors both causing and mitigating stability problems in slopes.

Presents information in the design, installation, and performance of deep foundations. This work emphasises both post-grouted drilled shafts and on augered, cast-in-place (ACIP) piles. It also includes topics relating to screwed and driven foundations.

Presents the president's annual address to the Society, abstracts of award winning ASCE papers, and memoirs of distinguished deceased members. This work includes an entry number, title of the paper, article or book, author's name and affiliation, and bibliographic information.
