Overview: This book presents the first in-depth assessment of France‘s policies towards NATO between 1981 and 1997. It also provides a critical assessment of these policies. It argues that France‘s arms-length relationship with NATO‘s integrated military structure served its purpose during the Cold War, but increasingly came to impose high costs thereafter.978-1-349-41608-0978-0-333-98162-7

Overview: Aims to entertain, educate and amuse.Will help make the world more fair.Devoted to a unique topicKofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations, argued that “We need to create a world that is equitable, that is stable and a world where we bear in mind the needs of others, and not only what we need immediately. We are all in the same boat.”.American businessman, John Landgraf stated: “I hope that most of us believe that we actually would all benefit from living in a more equitable society. If that‘s not happening, we‘re squandering human potential.” For the world to be fai

Overview: The association between social class and psychiatric disorder has been one of the central topics of socio-epidemiological research since its inception. With remarkable consistency, numerous investigations have demonstrated an inverse correlation between social class and prevalence rates for most forms of psychopathology. The debate on the interpreta- tion of these findings - social causation versus social selection processes - continues to this day. Moreover, the question as to what the psychoso- cial processes are through which social class and individual psychopa- thology are media

Overview: This book is in honor of the 80th birthday of Stephen Hedetniemi. It describes?advanced material in graph theory in the areas of domination, coloring, spanning cycles and circuits, and?distance that grew out of research topics investigated by Stephen Hedetniemi. The purpose of this book?is to provide background and principal results on these topics, along with same related problems and?conjectures, for researchers in these areas. The most important features deal with material, results, and?problems that researchers may not be aware of but may find of interest. Each chapter contains r

Overview: The holistic communicative structures of a tumor are now an.experimentally and therapeutically accessible entity.Communicatively-derived systems structures offer new but not.teleologically preconceiveThe traditional problem of the poor presentability as well as diagnostic and therapeutic practicability of individual patient care is still unresolved. The present book aims at leading the reader (cancer researchers, pharmacologists, biologists) away―in a scientifically accessible manner―from the daily conflicts between theory and practice and between the generalized and individual tumor

Overview: In 1958, on the occasion of the centenary of the Koninklijk Nederlands Gasthuis voor Ooglijders at Utrecht, the Snellen medal was founded by the Board of the hospital in memory of PROF. DR. HERMAN SNELLEN SR. This medal should be presented each 5th year to a person of Dutch nationality, who had exceptionally distinguished himself in the field of ophthalmology . The Snellen committee, of which I had the honour to be a member, was unanimous in their choice of the laureate of this award; it should be Dr. C.D. BINKHORST for his outstanding and ingenious work on the intra- ocular implant

Overview: Defines the future of risk models in finance.Includes cutting edge coverage of topics including multi-agent models, high-frequency trading and anti-fragility.Charles S. Tapiero is internationally reno.This book provides a perspective on a number of approaches to financial modelling and risk management. It examines both theoretical and practical issues. Theoretically, financial risks models are models of a real and a financial “uncertainty”, based on both common and private information and economic theories defining the rules that financial markets comply to. Financial models are thus
