In 2013 it is possible that Israel, backed by the United States, will launch an attack on Iran. This would be a catastrophic event, risking war, bloodshed and global economic collapse. In this passionate, but rationally argued essay, the authors attempt to avert a potential global catastrophe by showing that the grounds for war do not exist, that there are no Iranian nuclear weapons, and that Iran would happily come to a table and strike a deal. They argue that the military threats aimed by the West against Iran contravene international law, and argue that Iran is a civilised country and legitimate power across the Middle East. For years Peter Oborne and David Morrison have, in their respective fields, examined the actions of our political classes and found them wanting. Now they have joined forces to make a powerful case against military action. In the wake of the Iraq war, will the politicians listen?
Ray Atkins (b.1937) is one of the least well known major painters of his generation. He studied at Bromley College of Art in Kent before gaining a post graduate place at the Slade despite having failed the National Diploma in Design in 1961\. His first teaching post was at Reading University in 1965 where he lived and recorded in paint the huge upheavals that the town was undergoing, leading to a one person exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, London in 1974. A teaching post at Falmouth Art School in 1974 led to a thirty four year stay in Cornwall where he painted the extraordinary landscape of the china clay country around St Austell with its collossal pits and mounds of micae.The desolation left over by the demise of the tin mining industry was also a major theme, The more intimate subjects of children, gardens, family life and inevitably the sea were also part of the oevre. The nineties also saw a long series of works on the theme of dance. To celebrate the uncelebrated was his dictum. Peter Davies follows Atkins’ journey from the dark but creative London period to the high spots in the eighties with a retrospective at the Royal West of England Academy and with work selected for the John Moores in Liverpool, a room at a Serpentine summer Show, and representation in shows at the Hayward gallery. The book also follows the tensions and problems arising from Atkins’ insistence on working direct from his subjects and places the artist’s career in the wider context of the twists and turns of events in the art world in the UK, Europe and beyond. In addition, David Stoker gives a personal account of his discovery of Atkins in France, leading to a growing friendship and a deep understanding and respect for the work.

The Dirac Equation in Curved Spacetime
Peter Collas; David Klein
Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
nidottu
This book explains and develops the Dirac equation in the context of general relativistic quantum mechanics in a range of spacetime dimensions. It clarifies the subject by carefully pointing out the various conventions used and explaining how they are related to each other. The prerequisites are familiarity with general relativity and an exposure to the Dirac equation at the level of special relativistic quantum mechanics, but a review of this latter topic is given in the first chapter as a reference and framework for the physical interpretations that follow. Worked examples and exercises with solutions are provided. Appendices include reviews of topics used in the body of the text. This book should benefit researchers and graduate students in general relativity and in condensed matter.
The extremely positive response to the first edition of The CMO of People from both practitioners and educators spoke of the value of fresh ideas along with specific steps on how to execute them. This second edition of Peter Navin and David Creelman’s pathbreaking book, with new sections including industry leaders’ insights from Nike, UKG, and DocuSign, corroborates the approach that sees the CMO of People as a business focused people function that utilizes the proven tools of the marketing function and creates a predictable and immersive employee experience that drives productivity and performance. If the human resources function in your talent-centric organization is not bringing the excitement and business impact it should, you need a new mental model that approaches getting the best from people with the same mindset marketing uses to get the best results with customers. Just as the Chief Marketing Officer curates an experience to get the best lifetime value from customers, the head of HR, the CMO of People, can curate an experience to get the best lifetime value from employees. This unique book discusses: What it takes to change the character and intensity of an organization How to run HR so that it has impact Why we need to structure the HR department differently How to find unconventional people to staff this unconventional model How to create a predictable and immersive end-to-end experience for employees How a CMO of People can overcome barriers and drive performance
Neurological Disorders

Neurological Disorders is the latest and fifth monograph in the series on management and treatment in major clinical specialties or patient groups. Each book is complete in'its own right and has been prepared by practising physicians with an interest in treatment and management, together with scientists involved in clinical research. The volumes are intended to fill a gap between standard textbooks of medicine and therapeutics and research reviews, symposia and original articles in superspecialist fields. It is the aim of the series to give authoritative up-to-date advice on treatment and management which will be of use to both specialists and nonspecialists and to allow recent advances in pathophysiol ogy and developments in treatment to be viewed in the context of contemporary clinical practice. The approach is intentionally by the minimum number didactic. Each volume has been written of authors to ensure a degree of continuity and uniformity of style. The first four volumes dealt respectively with gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatic diseases, treatment in the elderly and car diovascular disease. The present volume covers neurological diseases. Chapter 1 is an introduction to drugs and the nervous system. It reviews the chemical basis of neurotransmission and mechanisms of drug action in neurological disease. There follows a series of chapters discussing patient management in general and drug treatment in particular in common neurological problems presen ting in general medical practice. These include headache, cerebral vascular disease, epilepsy and the movement disorders.
Fundamentals of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information

Another book on Quantum Optics? or Quantum Information? Well, not - actly. A more descriptive title might be: “A guided tour through basic qu- tum mechanics, quantum optics and quantum information”. Even better, a few words on its origin and our motivation for undertaking the task might be useful to the potential reader in deciding whether to turn the pages beyond this preface. For more than ten years now, a graduate course on quantum optics has been taught in the physics department of the University of Crete. Spanning two semesters, it originally consisted of a collection of topics representative of what can be found in the numerous by now excellent books on quantum optics. Over the last four years or so,however, the course acquired a gradually increasing segment of what is broadly referred to as quantum information, whichatthispointisapproximatelyhalfofthematerial.Inevitably,thetopics on standard quantum optics had to be reduced or compressed accordingly.

Dieses Künstlerbuch des international renommierten Schweizer Duos Fischli / Weiss ist Fragen gewidmet, die sich jeder ab und zu stellt: "Ist das Leben ein seltsames Höhlensystem?", "Gibt es zuviel des Guten?" oder "Driftet alles auseinander?", "Wie wirke ich?", "Soll ich untertauchen?" oder "Bin ich ein Sonderling?", "Was denkt mein Hund?", "Wo ist mein Bett?" oder "Spürt sie es?". Es sind keine Wissensfragen, sondern Fragen, die unbeantwortet bleiben müssen, vielleicht auch, weil sie so simpel klingen. Wie in ihren Künstlerbüchern ?Plötzlich diese Übersicht? (1982) und ?Die Sichtbare Welt? (2002) gehen Fischli / Weiss hier den Mechanismen des Alltäglichen auf die Spur.

Få kunstnere har oplevet samme bratte fald fra superstjerne til kunsthistorisk prygelknabe som Carl Bloch (1834-1890). Efter sin død blev han skrevet ud af kunsthistorien og hans billeder sat på magasin. Men uden for museerne vandt Blochs virtuose teknik og forførende fortællinger fortsat nye tilhængere.I Carl Bloch – Forført gives en række bud på, hvordan Bloch har formået at fastholde et bredt publikum ved at tale direkte til de store menneskelige følelser, kropsligt og psykologisk. Hvad formede fænomenet Carl Bloch, og hvordan forstår vi ham i dag? I denne bog revurderer både forskere og et nutidigt, kritisk publikum Carl Blochs komplekse livsværk: fra de religiøse billeder, komiske genremotiver og opbyggelige skæbnefortællinger til de Rembrandt-inspirerede raderinger og de suveræne portrætter af det moderne livs kvinder.
Dagboksanteckningar 1837-1861

"Om en man vandrar i skogarna halva dagarna för kärlek till dem och för att på lite avstånd betrakta sina medmänniskor med opartiskt öga, uppfattas han som en dagdrivare; men om han tillbringar hela dagen som spekulant och låter hugga ned skogarna, uppfattas han som flitig och företagsam."Mellan 1837 och 1861, året före sin död, skrev Henry David Thoreau dagbok. Det blev till slut sjutusen sidor text, Thoreaus kanske viktigaste men hittills minst kända verk. Här skrev han praktiskt taget dagligen om djur och växter som han studerat på sina promenader, om vad han läst, och utvecklade sin egen filosofi i en fri form mellan essä och aforismer. Dagböckerna blev den viktigaste källan till hans övriga verk. För den svenska publiken har Peter Handberg översatt och gjort ett urval av Thoreaus noteringar och reflktioner om människans plats i naturen och tillvaron, den första mer omfattande samlingen av Thoreaus dagboksanteckningar.Henry David Thoreau var amerikansk författare, filosof och mystiker. Han kallade sig själv "transcendentalist" i Ralph Waldo Emersons efterföljd, och propagerade i sina skrifter för hur människan kunde och borde leva i samklang med naturen och med Gud. Hans tankar om civil olydnad var viktiga inte minst för Gandhi, och han har också haft stor betydelse för senare tiders miljörörelser.
