Garçon d'hanse à Bryggen; journal de Jochen Schlus de 1599
Dans ce journal, Jochen, 14 ans, décrit sa vie en tant qu'apprenti à Bergen. Nous partageons sa vie quotidienne à Bryggen ainsi qu'entre autres évènements les rituels d'initiation appelés « jeux », les festivités, une visite royale, un incendie et un assassinat sordide. Un livre passionnant et ludique qui restitue un pan important de l'histoire norvégienne et européenne et décrit la vie à Bryggen, site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, en 1599, à l'époque où la Ligue hanséatique était à son apogée.
In Beziehung Sein: Relationalitaten ALS Orte Theologischer Erkenntnis. Fur Bernd Jochen Hilberath
Konnen sich Gottes Nahe und Zuneigung auch in menschlichen Beziehungen so ereignen, dass sie fur die theologische Gottesrede relevant werden? Da der trinitarische Gott sich als einer offenbart, der in sich selbst Beziehung ist und Beziehung zu den Menschen will, ist das Christentum im Kern ein Beziehungsgeschehen. So sind die vielfaltigen Beziehungsdimensionen als Orte theologischer Erkenntnis ausweisbar. In dieser Festschrift zu Ehren von Bernd Jochen Hilberath reflektieren Theolog: innen aus Theorie und Praxis die Beziehungskategorie aus verschiedenen theologischen, auch interreligiosen Perspektiven.
Die Udssr Und Die Deutsche Frage 1941-1948: Dokumente Aus Dem Archiv Fur Aussenpolitik Der Russischen Foderation. Bearb. Und Hrsg. Von Jochen P. Laufe
Mit dieser Dokumentensammlung liegt erstmals in deutscher Sprache eine wissenschaftliche Edition massgeblicher sowjetischer Quellen vor, die Hintergrunde und Ablaufe der sowjetischen Deutschlandpolitik von 1941 bis 1949 offenlegen. Die Edition ermoglicht detaillierte Einblicke in die Entwicklung der sowjetischen Kriegsziele gegenuber Deutschland, der Besatzungspolitik der UdSSR sowie ihrer Zusammenarbeit mit den westlichen Alliierten - bis zu deren Abbruch. So entsteht ein authentisches Bild der Sichtweise der UdSSR und ihres Anteils an jenem Prozess, der schliesslich zur deutschen Teilung fuhrte. Die Auswahl basiert auf den fur die Jahre 1941 bis 1949 betreffenden Akten des Archivs fur Aussenpolitik der Russischen Foderation (AVP RF). Der vierte Band bezieht daruber hinaus Quellen des Staatsarchivs der Russischen Foderation (GARF) und dem Russischen Staatsarchiv fur soziale und politische Geschichte und zwei weiteren russischen Archiven in die Dokumentenauswahl mit ein. Insgesamt umfassen alle vier Bande 670 Dokumente. Ein umfangreicher wissenschaftlicher Apparat bietet zusatzliche Informationen uber Forschungskontroversen (u.a. Zweite Front, Kriegsverbrechen, Friedensfuhler, Reparationen, sowjetische Besatzungspolitik, Friedensvertrag, Berliner Blockade und doppelte Staatsgrundung), weist auf weitere Quellen hin und enthalt - vollstandig oder in Auszugen - ebenfalls relevante Dokumente. Umfangreiche Einleitungen stellen die Quellenauswahl im Kontext der sowjetischen Deutschlandpolitik und deren Uberlieferung im AVP RF thematisch zusammenhangend vor. Im vierten Band erhalt der Benutzer in zwei selbstandigen Einfuhrungen Einblick in die aktuelle deutsch-russische Kontroverse uber die Einordnung der sowjetischen Berlin-Politik. Jeder Band kann durch biographische und geographische Verzeichnisse sowie durch ein Sachregister erschlossen werden. Damit ist diese Edition ein unentbehrliches Arbeitsmittel fur alle Forschungen zur deutschen und sowjetischen Geschichte jener Zeit, aber auch zu den Beziehungen der Grossmachte in den Anfangsjahren des Kalten Krieges

Quantum Theory for Chemical Applications

Quantum Theory for Chemical Applications

Jochen Autschbach

Quantum theory and computational chemistry have become integral to the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials chemistry. Concepts of chemical bonding, band structure, material properties, and interactions between light and matter at the molecular scale tend to be expressed in the framework of orbital theory, even when numerical calculations go beyond simple orbital models. Yet, the connections between these theoretical models and experimental observations are often unclear. It is important--now more than ever--that students master quantum theory if they are going to apply chemical concepts. In this book, Jochen Autschbach connects the abstract with the concrete in an elegant way, creating a guiding text for scholars and students alike. Quantum Theory for Chemical Applications covers the quantum theory of atoms, molecules, and extended periodic systems. Autschbach goes beyond standard textbooks by connecting the molecular and band structure perspectives, covering response theory, and more. The book is broken into four parts: Basic Theoretical Concepts; Atomic, Molecular, and Crystal Orbitals; Further Basic Concepts of Quantum Theory; and Advanced Topics, such as relativistic quantum chemistry and molecule-light interactions. The foresight Autschbach provides is immense, and he sets up a solid theoretical background for nearly every quantum chemistry method used in contemporary research. Because quantum theory tells us what the electrons do in atoms, molecules, and extended systems, the pages in this book are full of answers to questions both long-held and never-before considered.
Civil War in Central Europe, 1918-1921

Civil War in Central Europe, 1918-1921

The First World War did not end in Central Europe in November 1918. The armistices marked the creation of the Second Polish Republic and the first shot of the Central European Civil War which raged from 1918 to 1921. The fallen German, Russian, and Austrian Empires left in their wake lands with peoples of mixed nationalities and ethnicities. These lands soon became battle grounds and the ethno-political violence that ensued forced those living within them to decide on their national identity. Civil War in Central Europe seeks to challenge previous notions that such conflicts which occurred between the First and Second World Wars were isolated incidents and argues that they should be considered as part of a European war; a war which transformed Poland into a nation.

Recent advances in quantum technology - from quantum computers and simulators to secure communication and metrology - have not only opened up a whole new world of practical applications but also changed our understanding of quantum theory itself. This text, for the first time, introduces quantum theory entirely from this new perspective. It does away with the traditional approach to quantum theory as a theory of microscopic matter, and instead focuses on quantum theory as a framework for information processing. Accordingly, the emphasis is on concepts like measurement, probability, statistical correlations, and transformations, rather than on waves and particles. This affords a simple, direct route to quantum theory, all the way to some of its most fascinating conceptual issues. Since it requires only minimal mathematics and virtually no prior knowledge of physics, it is accessible to younger undergraduates and students of neighbouring disciplines. The text offers a unique blend of insights both into the physical foundations and the practical application of quantum theory. It begins with a discussion of experimental evidence that forces us to abandon the classical description and to critically re-examine such basic notions as measurement, probability, and state. The thorough investigation of these concepts leads to the alternative framework of quantum theory, set in complex Hilbert space. The requisite mathematics is developed carefully and always linked to its operational meaning. This part of the text culminates in an exploration of some of the most vexing foundational issues of quantum theory, regarding locality, non-contextuality, and realism. The second half of the text explains how the peculiar features of quantum theory may be harnessed to tackle information processing tasks that are intractable or even impossible classically. It provides the essential tools for understanding and designing the pertinent protocols, and discusses a diverse range of examples representative of current quantum technology. These include standard examples like the secure distribution of cryptographic keys, as well as less known applications such as entanglement-assisted metrology. Throughout the text there is a wealth of classroom-tested and at times unconventional exercises.

Reforming European Welfare States

Reforming European Welfare States

Welfare state reform has been a focus of domestic policy making in many European countries in recent years. Representing almost a third of the EU population and two distinctive models of European welfare states, this book compares development in British and German social policy over the past 25 years. During this time four periods of conservative governments were followed by centre-left administrations in both countries. Moreover, the respective economic and social positions of the two countries have been reversed. Adverse socio-economic developments have contributed to the waning of the erstwhile appeal of Germany as a role model of welfare capitalism. By contrast, the UK is seen by some as being on its way to gaining such a position. These trends provide an analytically intriguing background for a systematic contextualised comparison of reform processes in the two welfare states. Concentrating on three core domains of social policy, the book argues that unemployment support and public pension programmes have been subjected to retrenchment, as well as to restructuring. By contrast, family policies have been extended in both countries. However, patterns of retrenchment and restructuring differ across countries and programmes. In order to explain similarities and variations, the book emphasizes the relevance of three sets of factors: shifts in party policy preferences and power relations, three institutional variables, and contingent factors impinging on policy direction and profiles. Within pension policy, the relevance of different institutional characteristics and the respective balance between private and public forms of retirement suggest that the concept of 'path dependence' is particularly instructive. By contrast, differences in programme structures and their role within national political economies prove to be most relevant for the understanding of changes in unemployment support policy. Less institutionally embedded and expanding, the trajectories of family policies have to be seen in the context of dynamic party policy preferences.

Statistical physics and thermodynamics describe the behaviour of systems on the macroscopic scale. Their methods are applicable to a wide range of phenomena: from refrigerators to the interior of stars, from chemical reactions to magnetism. Indeed, of all physical laws, the laws of thermodynamics are perhaps the most universal. This text provides a concise yet thorough introduction to the key concepts which underlie statistical physics and thermodynamics. It begins with a review of classical probability theory and quantum theory, as well as a careful discussion of the notions of information and entropy, prior to embarking on the development of statistical physics proper. The crucial steps leading from the microscopic to the macroscopic domain are rendered transparent. In particular, the laws of thermodynamics are shown to emerge as natural consequences of the statistical framework. While the emphasis is on clarifying the basic concepts, the text also contains many applications and classroom-tested exercises, covering all major topics of a standard course on statistical physics and thermodynamics.

First exhibited at the Stuyvesant Hall in New York in 1851, Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware captured the imagination of many Americans searching for national symbols in a time of sectionalism and disunity. Despite Leutze’s aspirations, the exhibition became an opportunity for critics of history painting to stake their positions. As suggested by the book’s title, Leutze’s epic painting is a touchstone in the evolution of American history painting. It represents a triumphant climax of the American adoption of the Grand Manner, inherited from eighteenth-century English painting, and portends its seemingly inevitable demise. From the painting’s gargantuan size, which fitted it only for a grand, public setting, to its focus on an already deified public hero, Leutze’s painting presumed a cultural as well as a political consensus—a consensus that proved illusory at best. Emanuel Leutze was arguably the most prominent American history painter of his time, and Jochen Wierich argues that Leutze’s work became the locus of contemporary debates surrounding the nature of history painting and its future.
