The Wall Jumper

The Wall Jumper

Peter Schneider

Penguin Classics
2005
pokkari
Berlin before the fall of the Wall is a city divided, yet its ordinary residents find ways to live and survive on both sides. There is Robert, teller of barroom anecdotes over beer and vodka, adjusting to a new life in the west; Pommerer, trying to outwit the system in the east; the unnamed narrator, who 'escapes' back-and-forth to collect stories; his beguiling, exiled lover Lena; the three boys who defect to watch Hollywood films; and the man who leaps across the Wall again and again - simply because he cannot help himself. All are, in their different ways, wall jumpers, trying to lose themselves but still trapped wherever they go. Ultimately, the walls inside their heads prove to be more powerful than any man-made barrier ...

The Berlin Wall is represented in this novel as more personal than politically symbolic. Real people cross the Wall not to defect but to quarrel with their lovers, see movies, and sometimes just because they can't help themselves. The Wall has divided their emotions as well as their country.

Berlin Now

Berlin Now

Peter Schneider

Penguin Books Ltd
2014
pokkari
In Berlin Now, and on the 25th Anniversary of the fall of the Wall, a legendary Berliner tells the inside story of the city.Over the last five decades, no other city has changed more than Berlin. Divided in 1961, reunited in 1989, it has morphed over the last twenty-five years into Europe's most vibrant melting-pot of artists, immigrants and entrepreneurs. Pieces of the wall are collected around the world. Blending memoir, history, anecdote and reportage, this legendary Berliner takes us behind the scenes - from wrenching stories of life under the Stasi, to the difference between East and West Berliners' sex-lives, to a present-day investigation of its arts scene, night-life, tumultuous politics and hidden quirks - revealing what makes Berlin the uniquely fascinating place it is.Peter Schneider makes the city come alive. He knows his stuff and shares it beautifully, elegantly, generously and informatively.

Who-Who-Who Goes Hoo-Hoo-Hoo

Who-Who-Who Goes Hoo-Hoo-Hoo

Peter Schneider

Speechmark Publishing Ltd
2012
nidottu
This beautifully illustrated storybook has been written for children who stutter and their parents, carers and teachers. It tells the story of a young hedgehog who stutters and his encounters with several woodland creatures, some of whom stutter and others who do not. In the end they all work together to defeat a monster who lurks in the wood. The story makes clear that it is more important to listen to what someone says rather than the way they say it. It offers a positive message to children who stutter and shows other people, both adults and children, how best to react when talking to a child who stutters and the kind of responses to avoid. The book includes information about stuttering for adults and list of relevant organisations.

Galois Representations and (Phi, Gamma)-Modules

Galois Representations and (Phi, Gamma)-Modules

Peter Schneider

Cambridge University Press
2017
sidottu
Understanding Galois representations is one of the central goals of number theory. Around 1990, Fontaine devised a strategy to compare such p-adic Galois representations to seemingly much simpler objects of (semi)linear algebra, the so-called etale (phi, gamma)-modules. This book is the first to provide a detailed and self-contained introduction to this theory. The close connection between the absolute Galois groups of local number fields and local function fields in positive characteristic is established using the recent theory of perfectoid fields and the tilting correspondence. The author works in the general framework of Lubin–Tate extensions of local number fields, and provides an introduction to Lubin–Tate formal groups and to the formalism of ramified Witt vectors. This book will allow graduate students to acquire the necessary basis for solving a research problem in this area, while also offering researchers many of the basic results in one convenient location.

Modular Representation Theory of Finite Groups

Modular Representation Theory of Finite Groups

Peter Schneider

Springer London Ltd
2012
nidottu
Representation theory studies maps from groups into the general linear group of a finite-dimensional vector space. For finite groups the theory comes in two distinct flavours. In the 'semisimple case' (for example over the field of complex numbers) one can use character theory to completely understand the representations. This by far is not sufficient when the characteristic of the field divides the order of the group.Modular Representation Theory of finite Groups comprises this second situation. Many additional tools are needed for this case. To mention some, there is the systematic use of Grothendieck groups leading to the Cartan matrix and the decomposition matrix of the group as well as Green's direct analysis of indecomposable representations. There is also the strategy of writing the category of all representations as the direct product of certain subcategories, the so-called 'blocks' of the group. Brauer's work then establishes correspondences between the blocksof the original group and blocks of certain subgroups the philosophy being that one is thereby reduced to a simpler situation. In particular, one can measure how nonsemisimple a category a block is by the size and structure of its so-called 'defect group'. All these concepts are made explicit for the example of the special linear group of two-by-two matrices over a finite prime field.Although the presentation is strongly biased towards the module theoretic point of view an attempt is made to strike a certain balance by also showing the reader the group theoretic approach. In particular, in the case of defect groups a detailed proof of the equivalence of the two approaches is given. This book aims to familiarize students at the masters level with the basic results, tools, and techniques of a beautiful and important algebraic theory. Some basic algebra together with the semisimple case are assumed to be known, although all facts to be used are restated (without proofs) inthe text. Otherwise the book is entirely self-contained.

Endovascular Skills

Endovascular Skills

Peter Schneider

Apple Academic Press Inc.
2019
sidottu
The goal of Endovascular Skills: Guidewire and Catheter Skills for Endovascular Surgery has always been to provide a “step-by-step” approach to techniques and procedures that comprise one of the most exciting and rapidly developing specialties in medicine today: minimally invasive management of vascular disease. Endovascular technique has gone from being a novelty to a mainstay of vascular care and this edition of Endovascular Skills has been revised and expanded to reflect these changes. This book serves as a “how-to” guide for endovascular intervention and aims to assist clinicians in the development and refinement of skills that are now essential to vascular practice.The book introduces readers to strategy, vascular access, guidewire–catheter handling, and arteriography in a multitude of vascular beds. The knowledge base builds as the text progresses in much the same manner that the skill of the professional builds as experience is gained by performing more complex cases and managing complicated patterns of disease. The chapters progress to all aspects of endovascular therapy, including sheath access, balloon angioplasty, stents, and other treatment modalities.

Lenz

Julia Franck: ?Der Klassiker ? jetzt als KiWi!? Fünf Jahre nach Ausbruch der Studentenrevolte macht ein schmaler Band literarisch Furore: Peter Schneiders Neuerzählung von Büchners Novelle avanciert binnen kürzester Zeit zum Kultbuch einer ganzen Generation. Lenz, Student in einer Großstadt, irrt durch sein Leben: Seine Freundin hat ihn verlassen, politische Aktivitäten erschöpfen sich in fruchtlosen Diskussionen, der Versuch, sie durch die Arbeit in einer Fabrik endlich lebendig werden zu lassen, bleibt ergebnislos. Um der drückenden Stagnation zu entkommen, löst eine Fahrkarte nach Italien. In Rom begeistern ihn die Farben, das Miteinander der Menschen, die Lebenskunst. Aber rasch gerät er an die Kulturschickeria, in der das Politisieren längst dem Psychologisieren Platz gemacht hat. Ein Angebot, sich selbst einem Analytiker anzuvertrauen, lehnt er ab; eine Affäre mit einer Italienerin scheitert. Wieder bricht er bricht er auf ? diesmal nach Norditalien. In Trento trifft er auf eine Gruppe linker Studenten und Arbeiter, die ihn brüderlich aufnehmen. Dieses andere Italien wird für Lenz zur Befreiung. Peter Schneider erzählt eine beeindruckende Geschichte über die Frage, wie man leben soll. Sie hat bis heute nicht an Kraft und Brisanz verloren. ?Lenz? ist zu einem modernen Klassiker geworden. ?In Peter Schneiders Lenz findet die Wiederentdeckung ? nicht die Romantisierung ? von Sinnlichkeit und Subjektivität statt.? Ulrich Greiner in der FAZ, 1973 Gesamtauflage: über 500 000 Exemplare!
