Eine Einführung – unter Berücksichtigung von Vorlesungen von F.L. Bauer
Aus den Besprechungen:
“Diese Einführung zeichnet sich durch eine klare, gut lesbare Darstellung aus und ist eine gelungene Synthese zwischen theoretischer Begründung und praktischer Anwendung der behandelten Methoden. Deshalb ist sie auch zu einem Standardlehrbuch der Numerischen Mathematik geworden.”
Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten
“Unter den Numerik-Lehrbüchern … sei auf das vorliegende Buch besonders hingewiesen, da hier bei allen Ansprüchen an mathematische Strenge das Schwergewicht auf die Bereitstellung von praktikablen Algorithmen nach neuesten Erkenntnissen mit vielen numerischen Beispielen und kritischen Beurteilungen liegt.
…Für Veranstaltungen der Numerik und ihren Anwendungen in der Informatik findet der Lehrende viele Anregungen und gute Informationsmöglichkeiten.”

The transition from stage to screen was not only a shift in popular entertainment, but a challenge for those working in the industry as well. This book looks at all the attempts to organize film actors into a union, starting in 1912 when the Actors' Equity Association seemed the best platform for such an effort, to the establishment of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) in 1933 as the best vehicle to represent film actors; another four years passed before SAG was formally recognized by film producers and the first contract was signed.

The role and function of the nurse is rapidly changing. Some nurses are now required to undertake clinical diagnosis of the patient, a responsibility traditionally undertaken by a doctor. Clinical Diagnosis helps prepare nurses to fulfill this role, providing them with the skills and underpinning knowledge to make clinical diagnoses of patients effectively. Each chapter follows the same layout for each symptom or sign, exploring the definition, causes, history, precipitating factors, associated signs and symptoms, important considerations, relevant clinical examination, and investigations and tests.
The first UK text to explore clinical diagnosis from a nursing perspective
In the Essential Clinical Skills for Nurses series

Stephen K. Levine’s new book explores the nature of traumatic experience and the therapeutic role of the arts and arts therapies in responding to it. It suggests that by re-imagining painful and tragic experiences through art-making, we may release their fixity and negative hold on our lives and resist the temptation to assume the role of the victim. Among the many concerns that the book addresses is the damage done by the tendency to adopt stock methods of understanding and superficial explanations for the depths, complexities, wonders, and exasperations of human experience. The book explores the chaos and fragmentation inherent in both art and human existence and the ways in which memory and imagination can find meaning by acknowledging this chaos and embodying it in appropriate forms. The book builds on the important theories of Stephen K. Levine’s previous book, Poiesis: The Language of Psychology and the Speech of the Soul, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. It challenges dominant psychological perspectives on trauma and provides a new framework for arts therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists and social scientists to understand the effectiveness of the arts therapies in responding to human suffering.

“A rich and compelling narrative, as taut and suspenseful as good fiction. In places, Stories of Scottsboro is almost heartbreaking, not least because Goodman shows what people felt as well as what they thought.” — Washington Post Book World
To white Southerners, it was “a heinous and unspeakable crime” that flouted a taboo as old as slavery. To the Communist Party, which mounted the defense, the Scottsboro case was an ideal opportunity to unite issues of race and class. To jury after jury, the idea that nine black men had raped two white women on a train traveling through northern Alabama in 1931 was so self-evident that they found the Scottsboro boys guilty even after the U.S. Supreme Court had twice struck down the verdict and one of the “victims” had recanted.
This innovative and grippingly narrated work of history tells the story of a case that marked a watershed in American racial justice. Or, rather, it tells several stories. For out of dozens of period sources, Stories of Scottsboro re-creates not only what happened at Scottsboro, but the dissonant chords it struck in the hearts and minds of an entire nation.
“Extraordinary…. To do justice to the Scottsboro story a book would have to combine edge-of-the-seat reportage and epic narrative sweep. And it is just such a book that James Goodman has given us, a beautifully realized history…written with complete authority, tight emotional control, and brilliant use of archival material.” — Chicago Tribune

Michel Houellebecq sous la loupe approfondit le profil de l’œuvre de l’auteur le plus controversé du paysage littéraire français actuel et s’attache à dépasser les études sur cet enfant terrible des Lettres françaises parues à ce jour. En effet, force est de reconnaître que l’intérêt suscité par le phénomène s’est surtout, jusque-là, traduit par l’engouement d’un public friand de la petite histoire, exception faite de quelques études d’envergure sur son œuvre.Michel Houellebecq sous la loupe comble la béance du fossé entre l’écrivain et la recherche universitaire. En outre, ce recueil projette sur l’œuvre un nouvel éclairage par rapport aux titres précédents. Ainsi les sujets peu ou prou explorés à ce jour comme l’esthétique générale des écrits, la poésie, la réception et la philosophie sous-jacente aux romans passent-ils dûment la revue dans des approches approfondies après avoir été quelque peu négligés. D’autre part, bien que l’amour, l’exotisme et l’abject aient été précédemment discutés, ces thèmes se teintent aujourd’hui d’un jour nouveau par l’angle original sous lequel ils sont abordés et la perspicacité des réflexions qui leur sont accordées. Enfin, et non des moindres, plusieurs articles interpellent le dernier roman La Possibilité d’une île (Fayard, 2005) ce qui confère à ce recueil un atout supplémentaire.En bref, Michel Houellebecq sous la loupe s’adresse aux houellebecquiens et houellebecquologues tout autant qu’aux houellebecquophiles et houellebecquophobes par la diversité des articles sans complaisance et la sagacité des analyses réunies dans un souci d’authenticité et de clarté car toutes ont en commun de débattre d’une série de points fondamentaux qui font la singularité de la fiction houellebecquienne.

It may at first seem that the world of subatomic physics is far removed from our every day lives. Isn’t it all just a waste of time and taxpayers’ money? Hopefully, all who read this book will come to a different conclusion. Collider physics is all about our origins, and this aspect alone makes it worthy of our very best attention. The experiments conducted within the vast collider chambers are at the forefront of humanity’s quest to unweave the great tapestry that is the universe. Everything is connected. Within the macrocosm is the microcosm. By knowing how matter is structured, how atoms and elementary particles interact, and what forces control the interactions between the particles, we discover further clues as to why the universe is the way it is, and we uncover glimpses of how everything came into being.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in the process of coming online at CERN, is the world’s largest and most complex machine. It represents the pinnacle of human ingenuity, and its physical characteristics, costs, and workings astound us at every turn.We are literally humbled by the machine that has been produced through a grand international collaboration of scientists. This book is about what those scientists hope to discover with the LHC, for hopes do run high, and there is much at stake. Careers, reputations and prestigious science prizes will be realized, and possibly lost, in the wake of the results that the LHC will produce. And there are risks, real and imagined. The LHC will probe the very fabric of matter and it will help us understand the very weft and the weave of the universe.
