В сборник очерков и статей австрийского писателя и журналиста, составленный известным переводчиком-германистом М.Л. Рудницким, вошли тексты, написанные Йозефом Ротом для берлинских газет в 1920–1930-е годы. Во времена Веймарской республики Берлин оказался местом, где рождался новый урбанистический ландшафт послевоенной Европы. С одной стороны, город активно перестраивался и расширялся, с другой – война, уличная политика и экономическая стагнация как бы перестраивали изнутри его жителей и невольных гостей-иммигрантов. Динамическая картина этого бурлящего мегаполиса, набросанная в газетных колонках Йозефа Рота, и сегодня читается как живой репортаж о жизни города, который опять стал местом сопряжения различных культур. Писатель создает галерею городских типов и уличных сценок, чем-то напоминающих булгаковскую Москву, где место фантастики занимают наблюдательность и уникальный берлинский стиль. © Эвербук

Describing the fundamental physical properties of materials used in electronics, the thorough coverage of this book will facilitate an understanding of the technological processes used in the fabrication of electronic and photonic devices. The book opens with an introduction to the basic applied physics of simple electronic states and energy levels. Silicon and copper, the building blocks for many electronic devices, are used as examples. Next, more advanced theories are developed to better account for the electronic and optical behavior of ordered materials, such as diamond, and disordered materials, such as amorphous silicon. Finally, the principal quasi-particles (phonons, polarons, excitons, plasmons, and polaritons) that are fundamental to explaining phenomena such as component aging (phonons) and optical performance in terms of yield (excitons) or communication speed (polarons) are discussed.

The discipline of neurodesign is a highly interdisciplinary one, while at the same time in the process of maturing towards real-life applications. The breakthrough about to be achieved is to close the loop in communication between neural systems and electronic and mechatronic systems and actually let the nervous system adapt to the feedback from the man-made systems. To master this loop, scientists need a sound understanding of neurology, from the cellular to the systems scale, of man-made systems and how to connect the two. These scientists comprise medical scientists, neurologists and physiologists, engineers, as well as biophysicists. And they need the topics in a coherently written work with chapters building upon another.

This volume addresses the relationship of adult education and health from different perspectives. One task of adulthood is caring for one's health and, for many, caring for the health of children, a partner or spouse, and/or aging parents. Changes in health or the desire for improved health often prompt the need for individuals to learn–and adult education can play a vital role in enabling this learning. Editor Lilian H. Hill, associate professor of adult education at the University of Southern Mississippi, and contributing authors assemble a comprehensive review of the critical issues involved including How adults learn while coping with chronic illness Health education within adult literacy, adult basic education, and English as a Second Language classes Approahces to help adults evaluate and learn from online information The influence of globalism on health and more. Concluding with Hill's own argument that health is a social justice issue, the volume illustrates how adult educators need to be involved…

Bringing the concepts of dimensional analysis, self-similarity, and fractal dimensions together in a logical and self-contained manner, this book reveals the close links between modern theoretical physics and applied mathematics.
