Once-Told Tales. An Essay in Literary Aesthetics
Drawing comparisons with other art forms, this book examines the role of aesthetic features in silent reading, such as narrative structure, and the core experience of reading a novel as a story rather than a scholarly exercise. Focuses on the experience of the art form known as the novel Uses the more common perspective of a reader who reads to be told a story, rather than for scholarly or critical analysis Draws comparisons with experience of the other arts, music in particular Explores the different effects of a range of narrative approaches
Statistical Physics. An Entropic Approach
This undergraduate textbook provides a statistical mechanical foundation to the classical laws of thermodynamics via a comprehensive treatment of the basics of classical thermodynamics, equilibrium statistical mechanics, irreversible thermodynamics, and the statistical mechanics of non-equilibrium phenomena. This timely book has a unique focus on the concept of entropy, which is studied starting from the well-known ideal gas law, employing various thermodynamic processes, example systems and interpretations to expose its role in the second law of thermodynamics. This modern treatment of statistical physics includes studies of neutron stars, superconductivity and the recently developed fluctuation theorems. It also presents figures and problems in a clear and concise way, aiding the student’s understanding.

Times Are Altered with Us. American Indians from First Contact to the New Republic
Times Are Altered with Us: American Indians from Contact to the New Republic offers a concise and engaging introduction to the turbulent 300-year-period of the history of Native Americans and their interactions with Europeans—and then Americans—from 1492 to 1800. Considers the interactions of American Indians at many points of «First Contact» across North America, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts Explores the early years of contact, trade, reciprocity, and colonization, from initial engagement of different Indian and European peoples—Spanish, French, Dutch, English, and Russian—up to the start of tenuous and stormy relations with the new American government Charts the rapid decline in American Indian populations due to factors including epidemic Old World diseases, genocide and warfare by explorers and colonists, tribal warfare, and the detrimental effects of resource ruination and displacement from traditional lands Features a completely up-to-date synthesis of the literature of the field Incorporates useful student features, including maps, illustrations, and a comprehensive and evaluative Bibliographical Essay Written in an engaging style by an expert in Native American history and designed for use in both the U.S. history survey as well as dedicated courses in Native American studies
Home Front U.S.A. America During World War II
New scholarship on World War II continues to broaden our understanding. With each passing year we know more about the triumphs and the tragedies of America’s involvement in the momentous conflict. Tapping into this greater awareness of the accomplishments of both soldiers and civilians and a better recognition of the consequences of decisions made, Allan Winkler presents the third edition of his highly popular series volume. Informed by the latest historical literature and featuring many new thoughtfully chosen photographs, the third edition of Home Front U.S.A. continues to ponder the question of «the good war,» the moral implications of the use of the atomic bomb, the implications of expanding wartime roles for women, African Americans, American Jews, the imprisonment of Japanese Americans at the hands of the federal government, and the experiences of the many other people who, though relegated to the fringe of mainstream society, contributed in important ways to the nation's successful prosecution of its greatest challenge.
Eurocode 3 Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten. Allgemeine Regeln Hochbau. DIN EN 1993-1-1 mit Nationalem Anhang. Kommentar und Beispiele, Band 1
Für die praktische Anwendung von Eurocode 3 DIN EN 1993 Teil 1-1 «Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten; Allgemeine Regeln Hochbau» wird mit diesem Buch eine konsolidierte Normfassung vorgelegt. Es werden umfangreiche Kommentare zu den Regelungshintergründen gegeben, um das Normverständnis zu vertiefen. Komplettiert wird der Band durch eine Reihe von Berechnungsbeispielen. Herausgeber und Autoren stellen damit eine unverzichtbare Hilfe für die schnelle Einarbeitung in das neue Regelwerk und die sichere Anwendung in der Praxis zur Verfügung. Auch erhältlich für Teil 1-8 «Anschlüsse». Die europäische Norm DIN EN 1993 Eurocode 3 «Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten», die die frühere deutsche Bemessungsnormenreihe 18800 abgelöst und damit die Nachweispraxis im deutschen Stahlbau grundlegend gewandelt hat, besteht aus insgesamt 20 einzelnen Teilen. Diese gliedern sich in Grundlagen (die zwölf Teile DIN EN 1993-1) und Anwendungsteile (DlN EN 1993-2 bis DIN EN 1993-6) auf. Zentrum ist der im Rahmen des vorliegenden Kommentars behandelte Teil 1-1 mit dem Titel «Allgemeine Bemessungsregeln und Regeln für den Hochbau». Alle anderen Teile beziehen sich darauf und geben ergänzende Regeln an. Gleichzeitig werden hochbauspezifische Grundregeln, insbesondere zu Festigkeits- und Stabilitätsnachweisen von Stäben, in diesem Normenteil behandelt. Der vorliegende Kommentar soll allen Fachleuten, die sich planend, bauend, prüfend oder überwachend mit der Bemessung von Stahlbauten in Deutschland oder dem europäischen Ausland befassen, Hilfestellung bei der täglichen Arbeit mit dem Eurocode 3 im Allgemeinen und dem Teil 1-1 im Speziellen bieten. Der Kommentar besteht aus drei Hauptteilen: Zunächst ist DIN EN 1993-1-1 mit den A1-Änderungen von 2014 und Nationalem Anhang inkl. Änderungen A1 (Entwurf) als konsolidierte Fassung abgedruckt. Das heißt, dass man die zugehörigen nationalen Empfehlungen und Ergänzungen genau dort im Normentext findet, wo sie auch gebraucht werden. Der Anwender hat somit alle Regelungen auf einen Blick, anstatt sie sich aus drei Dokumenten zusammenstellen zu müssen. lm darauf folgenden Kommentarteil, der sich von der Gliederung her strikt an die Norm hält, werden Zusatz- und Hintergrundinformationen, Erklärungen und Erläuterungen gegeben, es werden Verknüpfungen zu anderen Normenteilen hergestellt und geplante Änderungen angesprochen. Der dritte Teil enthält Beispielrechnungen, die die Anwendung der wichtigsten Regelungen im Eurocode 3-1-1 auf konkrete Fälle ausführlich und mit Normenbezügen darstellt.
