Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do you know why Johann Sebastian Bach was considered light-fingered Or what you could do with a lock of Mozart's hair if you had it These questions could lead you to an ancient mystery: Why do humans enjoy producing musical notes, as Darwin put it Is this ability literally in our DNA, and if so, what is it doing there The authors sailed dangerously close to the Sirens' Rock and joined Orpheus in meeting the sinister creatures of the underworld. They traced the path of sound waves from their source to the listener's brain and analyzed the genealogy of the Bach family and the song of zebra finches. They visited 'Scarborough Fair' to buy parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Eventually, they took the ferry to the 'Isle of Capri,' referencing Frank Sinatra and the many other singers who have covered that song. Overall, the result is an entertaining and informative analysis of what makes music so fascinating and how this fascination is reflected in our genes from ancient Egypt to the present day.From the foreword by Dietrich Groenemeyer:'This book is a wonderful journey of discovery and exploration by an unusual pair of researchers, a musician and a scientist.'From the foreword by Sarah Darwin:'Enough of my words on this exciting topic and over to the brilliant authors of this fascinating book, which is playful, well researched, informative and will capture a broad interest.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A new standard in interest rate modelling, called the multi-curve framework, emerged after the financial crisis. The framework covers two important market features: the collateralisation of derivative trades and the spread between different rate benchmarks. This book starts from the collateral mechanisms and builds the full framework from the foundations through all the technical and financial details. It kicks off with the collateral discounting in all its variants: domestic cash, foreign cash, or other assets and then introduces the different benchmarks and their associated spreads. Following the discontinuation of certain benchmarks, part of the book is dedicated to the transition and the emergence of the overnight benchmark dominance in certain currencies. Based on the theoretical framework of the first chapters, the important curve calibration mechanism is analysed in detail. Many instruments are investigated with all their practical peculiarities. Most of the book is dedicated to the understanding of the "static" interest rate curves. The book's last part deals with the building blocks of any dynamic model explaining their future behaviour and apply some of those models to the most liquid instruments. Based on more than 25 years of experience as a trader and quantitative analyst in the related markets, the author includes many details on implementation in libraries and using the framework in risk management, which will be of interest to traders, risk managers, quantitative analysts, and actuaries alongside professors, researchers, and students of banking, insurance, risk management, and quantitative finance.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 381 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book, based on extensive first-hand research conducted between 2020 and 2024, places Russian antiquity in the center of analysis, and addresses memory-making in the regions. The author seeks to examine how public history is managed in Old Russian cities, who the mnemonic actors are, which narratives are institutionalized, how cultural heritage is reinterpreted, and how federal and regional historical narratives interact. How did existing approaches to the past contributed to legitimization of aggressive wars and the federal government's assumed right to arbitrarily initiate conflicts and compel citizens to participate in them The book focuses on the period from 2012 to 2022, which saw the strengthening of personalist authoritarianism in Russia accompanied by a conservative turn whose roots lie in nineteenth-century nationalism. The book includes case studies of 12 regional capitals founded before 1584 (the year of Ivan the Terrible s death, his rule marked the emergence of the centralized Russian state).…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the intellectual trajectories of international mid-career scholars working on the Second World War and the Holocaust in France across a wide range of disciplines, including history, literature, and cultural studies. It scrutinises disciplinary and interdisciplinary dynamics, and explores the conceptual frameworks within which the contributors have developed their research. The volume considers how dominant narratives on France, the Holocaust and Vichy are reconfigured or challenged by emerging lines of enquiry, and how these are shaped both by recent academic turns through shifts in focus to post-memorial, spatial, affective and digital approaches and by rapidly evolving academic contexts. The different contributors, from France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK, also offer critical reflections on how positionality particularly in terms of gender, ethnicity, class and identity informs academic research, thereby providing new insights into the role of subjectivity in the production of knowledge.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Volume II of the second edition, subtitled Beyond Semi-Classical Concepts, expands the description of x-rays into the framework of quantum optics, rooted in the full theory of light and matter: quantum electrodynamics (QED). Following a brief introduction, the book is organized into three parts and an appendix.Part I explores the description of x-rays and diffraction phenomena within the advanced formalism of quantum optics. The discussion extends conventional quantum mechanics, which treats photons as independent particles, to higher-order quantum states containing multiple photons. A central theme is the emerging paradigm that quantum states with two or more photons can be directly observed in diffraction experiments using multi-photon detection. This makes it possible to overcome constraints of the classical framework, such as the diffraction limit, and to probe novel effects including photonphoton entanglement and interference.Part II presents the quantum formulation of weak photonmatter interactions using the KramersHeisenbergDirac perturbation framework. This is applied to polarization-dependent, first-principles descriptions of interaction cross sections for x-ray absorption and dichroism, x-ray emission, Thomson scattering, and both resonant elastic (REXS) and inelastic (RIXS) scattering. A new section introduces the derivation of cross sections for two-photon x-ray absorption and ionization.Part III extends the discussion from weak to strong interactions of x-rays with atoms and solids. Topics include the time-dependent transfer of x-ray energy to the electronic system and the lattice, the challenges of sample damage, and the intriguing phenomenon of x-ray transparency. Resonant core-to-valence excitations are analyzed using the optical Bloch equations, revealing effects such as Rabi oscillations of electronic populations and the intensity-dependent emergence of stimulated x-ray scattering. An extensive appendix provides reference materials, including units and physical constants, the calculation of electronic transition matrix elements, and a survey of important quantum states of light and their matrix elements with photon creation and destruction operators encountered in the quantum formulation of diffraction.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, Heidelberg 572 pp. Englisch.…
