Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The tragedy of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami has led to a rapid expansion in science directed at understanding tsunami and mitigating their hazard. A remarkable cross-section of this research was presented in the session: Tsunami Generation and Hazard, at the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics XXIV General Assembly in Perugia, held in July of 2007. Over one hundred presentations were made at this session, spanning topics ranging from paleotsunami research, to nonlinear shallow-water theory, to tsunami hazard and risk assessment. A selection of this work, along with other contributions from leading tsunami scientists, is published in detail in the 28 papers of this special issue of Pure and Applied Geophysics: Tsunami Science Four Years After the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Part I of this issue includes 14 papers covering the state-of-the-art in tsunami modelling and hazard assessment. Another 14 papers are published in Part II focusing on observations and data analysis.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 316 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Were I to take an iron gun, And re it o towards the sun; I grant ¿twould reach its mark at last, But not till many years had passed. But should that bullet change its force, And to the planets take its course, ¿Twould never reach the nearest star, Because it is so very far. from FACTS by Lewis Carroll [55] Let me begin by describing the two purposes which prompted me to write this monograph. This is a book about algebraic topology and more especially about homotopy theory. Since the inception of algebraic topology [217] the study of homotopy classes of continuous maps between spheres has enjoyed a very exc- n n tional, central role. As is well known, for homotopy classes of maps f : S S with n 1 the sole homotopy invariant is the degree, which characterises the homotopy class completely. The search for a continuous map between spheres of di erent dimensions and not homotopic to the constant map had to wait for its resolution until the remarkable paper of Heinz Hopf [111]. In retrospect, nding 3 an example was rather easy because there is a canonical quotient map from S to 3 1 1 2 theorbitspaceofthe freecircleactionS /S =CP = S .Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The aim of the present book is a uni ed representation of some recent results in geometric function theory together with a consideration of their historical sources. These results are concerned with functions f, holomorphic or meromorphic in a domain in the extended complex planeC. The only additional condition we impose on these functions is the condition that the range f( ) is contained in a given domain C.Thisfactwillbedenotedby f A( , ). We shall describe (n) how one may get estimates for the derivatives|f (z )|,n N,f A( , ), 0 dependent on the position of z in and f(z)in . 0 0 1.1 Historical remarks The beginning of this program may be found in the famous article [125] of G. Pick. There, he discusses estimates for the MacLaurin coe cients of functions with positive real part in the unit disc found by C. Carath¿ eodory in [52]. Pick tells his readers that he wants to generalize Carath¿ eodory¿s estimates such that the special role of the expansion point at the origin is no longer important. For the convenience of our readers we quote this sentence in the original language: Durch lineare Transformation von z oder, wie man sagen darf, durch kreis- ometrische Verallgemeinerung, kann man die Sonderstellung des Wertes z=0 wegscha en, so daß sich Relationen fur ¿ die Di erentialquotienten von w an - liebiger Stelle ergeben. The rst great success of this program was G. Pick¿s theorem, as it is called by Carath¿ eodory himself, compare [54], vol II, 286¿289.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 168 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is the eighth in a series of Proceedings for the S¿ eminaire Poincar¿ e, which is directed towards a large audience of physicists and of mathematicians. The goal of this seminar is to provide up to date information about general topics of great interest in physics. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects are covered, with some historical background. Inspired by the Bourbaki seminar in mathematics in its organization, hence nicknamed ¿Bourbaphy¿, this Poincar¿ e SeminarisheldattheInstitutHenriPoincar¿ einParis,withcontributionsprepared inadvance.Particularcareisdevotedtothepedagogicalnatureofthepresentation so as to ful ll the goal of being readable by a large audience of scientists. This new volume of the Poincar¿ e Seminar series ¿The Spin¿ corresponds to the eleventh such Seminar, held on December 8, 2007. It describes how this once mysterious quantum reality called spin has become ubiquitous in modern physics from the most theoretical aspects down to the most practical applications of miniaturizing electronic and computer devices or helping medical diagnosis.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 208 pp. Englisch.
