Biskamp, Floris. Die Dramaturgie demokratischer Imperien: Über das Verhältnis von Imperialität und Demokratie in der Debatte um das American Empire. Frankfurt a.M: Peter Lang, 2010, 158pp., very good hardcover with printed covers. Politische Kulturforschung, 4. - In den von politischer Wissenschaft und Publizistik mit großer Leidenschaft bestrittenen Debatten darüber, ob die Welt es mit einem American Empire zu tun hat und was dies bedeutet, ist stets ein Fragenkomplex zentral: In welchem Verhältnis stehen Demokratie und Imperialität zueinander? Verbreitet und schützt das Imperium Demokratie oder zerstört es sie? Und kann eine Demokratie überhaupt ein Imperium aufrechterhalten? Floris Biskamp analysiert die Debatten der letzten Jahre im Hinblick auf diese Fragen und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Demokratie und Imperialität in einem Spannungsverhältnis stehen, das eine «Dramaturgie demokratischer Imperien» entfesselt - CONTENTS: Vorwort ; Einleitung ; .

Paperback. Condition: New. This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of astrophysics. The book starts by introducing the MHD equations, certain useful approximations and the transition to turbulence. The second part of the book covers incompressible MHD turbulence, the macroscopic aspects connected with the different self-organization processes, the phenomenology of the turbulence spectra, two-point closure theory, and intermittency. The third considers two-dimensional turbulence and compressible (in particular, supersonic) turbulence. Because of the similarities in the theoretical approach, these chapters start with a brief account of the corresponding methods developed in hydrodynamic turbulence. The final part of the book is devoted to astrophysical applications: turbulence in the solar wind, in accretion disks, and in the interstellar medium. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers working in turbulence theory, plasma physics and astrophysics.…

Paperback. Condition: New. A self-contained introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), with emphasis on nonlinear processes. Chapters 2 to 4 outline the conventional aspects of MHD theory, magnetostatic equilibrium and linear stability theory, which form a natural basis for the topics in the subsequent chapters. The main part, chapters 5 to 7, presents nonlinear theory, starting with the evolutions and saturations of individual ideas and resistive instabilities, continuing with a detailed analysis of magnetic reconnection, and concluding with the most complex nonlinear behaviour, that of MHD turbulence. The last chapters describe three important applications of the theory: disruptive processes in tokamaks, MHD effects in reversed-field pinches, and solar flares. In the presentation the focus is more on physical mechanisms than on special formalisms. The book is essential reading for researchers and graduate students interested in MHD processes both in laboratory and in astrophysical plasmas.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 338 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In the year 2445, Trammel, an advanced bio-droid, wrestles with the pain of becoming more human after a scientist modifies his original design in hopes of creating the perfect immortal being and preventing humanoid extinction. Trammel confronts armies, seductive beings, alloy creatures, and a grumpy old scientist Woody. Trammel struggles with the diabolical programming of his past and his ever-evolving human tendencies, which drive his quest for intimacy, meaning, and love. Ultimately Trammel realizes what it means to be alive when he identifies an impending catastrophic event, understanding that if he cannot find a way to stop it, all of humankind will perish, and he will face eternity alone.-.…
