T. Schuster, Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg, Germany The Method of Approximate Inverse: Theory and Applications
Inverse problems arise whenever one tries to calcu- late a required quantity from given measurements of a second quantity that is associated to the fi rst one. Besides medical imaging and non-destructive testing, inverse problems also play an increasing role in other disciplines such as industrial and fi nancial mathematics. Hence, there is a need for stable and effi cient solvers. Th e book is concerned with the method of approximate inverse which is a regularization technique for stably solving inverse problems in various settings such as L2-spaces, Hilbert spaces or spaces of distributions. Th e performance and functionality of the method is demonstrated on several examples from medical imaging and non-destructive testing such as computerized tomography, Doppler tomography, SONAR, X-ray diff ractometry and thermoacoustic computerized tomography.

Dynamic Fleet Management will focus on real time management of a distribution system. Th is means that when a dynamic event occurs within the distribution chain, action must be taken in “real-time.” Th e book will integrate the latest results in system design, algorithm development and system implementation, to capture the state- of-the art research and application trends. While much of the research in this area of transportation problems have almost exclusively concentrated on carrying out static plans on optional distribution conditions, this book will examine those problems when some dynamic or unplanned even occurs within the transport or network system. It will focus specifi cally on these cases and integrate the latest results in systems, routing algorithms and case studies where information (a dynamic event) is revealed to the decision maker in a real-time manner.
Features 7 Th ere is considerable interest in the more stochastic types of transportation problems like real time traffi c management and the dynamic aspects of VRP as represented in our global economy by means of supply chain logistics, ship- ping fl eet management, etc. 7 Focuses on these current problems and it will be the fi rst volume that explores the area of Dynamic Fleet Management

Bolt, Adler Planetarium, Chicago, IL, USA (Eds.) A new resource for historians, astronomers, and the interested public that will provide biographical information on the next generation of astronomers beyond the Dictionary of Scientifi c Biography, and enhance the information on earlier periods by including more astronomers and by utilizing contemporary historical scholarship. This encyclopedia is the collective work of about 400 authors drawn from 40 diff erent countries and numerous institutions around the world, such as the Smithsonian and the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, as well as an editorial board of nine historians and astronomers Included are more than 1550 biographical sketches on astronomers broken down into four periods: Ancient-Medieval, Non-Western, Early Modern, and Modern Individual entries vary from 100 to 1500 words including the likes of Newton and Einstein as well as lesser-known astronomers like Galileo’s acolyte, Mario Guiducci. The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers is a unique and valuable resource for historians and astronomers alike. The two volumes include approximately 1550 biographical sketches on astronomers from antiquity to modern times. It is the collective work of about 400 authors edited by an editorial board of 9 historians and astronomers, and provides additional details on the nature of an entry and some summary statistics on the content of entries. This new resource for historians, astronomers, and the interested public provides biographical information even on the next generation of astronomers, going beyond existing references, and enhances the information on earlier periods by including many more astronomers and by utilizing contemporary historical scholarship.

5th up-to-date edition with many valuable additions
The Physical Basis of The Direction of Time Essential reading H. Dieter Zeh, University of Heidelberg, Germany for the new Praise for the 5th edition of The Physical Basis of The Direction of Time generation of Th is book is a real gem, providing concise yet clear and comprehensive coverage of the classic problem of time, ranging from classical electromagnetism and thermodynamics to quantum theoretical physicists cosmology. Th e discussion is lucid and intuitive without glossing over the important details. It is a treat to learn about the role of decoherence from the man who discovered it Max Tegmark Certainly one of the most informative, thorough and thought-provoking books on the subject Bernard d‘Espagnat Dieter Zeh has made important pioneering contributions to the interpretation of quantum mechanics and the study of the direction of time. His comprehensive and frequently repub- lished book on the fascinating issue of time’s arrow has few if any rivals Julian Barbour Th is is a great book. It engages the reader in a philosophical meditation on time (much clearer, and in my opinion deeper than Heidegger’s Being and Time). It is moreover a learned book in which every necessary physical or mathematical argument is given explicitly and cleanly Roland Omnes WORDS [...] an authoritative treatment of an exciting and controversial subject: Th e origins and OF PRAISE implications of the arrow of time are traced from its genesis at the microscopic quantum level to the macroscopic thermodynamic setting and include the analysis of Maxwell’s demon. Th e monograph concludes with a provocative discussion of the arrow of time in the context of quantum gravity and cosmology Wojciech Zurek

Corporations are under fi re. Hardly a day goes by that executive conduct doesn’t appear as a topic – or, more accurately, as a problem – in the media. Th is leads to increased public pressure on corpora- tions, many of whom are reacting and publicly assuming their corporate responsibility. Th is book represents an introduction to and overview of the diverse facets of the ethical chal- lenges confronting companies today. It introduces executives, students and interested observers to the complex trends and developments in busi- ness ethics. On the one hand, this book presents industry-specifi c topics in ethics, and on the other provides a general, interdisciplinary survey of the ethical dimensions of management and business.

E. A. Langenberg, Siemens Ltd., Nanjing, China Guanxi and Business Strategy Theory and Implications for Multinational Companies in China
“Guanxi and Business Strategy” elaborates upon a topic of paramount importance to both academic scholars and managers doing business with China: the impact of personal relationships (guanxi) on business aff airs. In the Chinese cultural and socio- economic environment, how are the ubiquitous practices of guanxi to be considered in entrepre- neurial strategies? Rather than explaining the emergence of guanxi and its persistence – in spite of the existence of a market economy – with Confucianism, the author applies the phenomenon to the methodology of New Economic Sociology. By integrating guanxi into a business context, he shows that the commer- cial utilization of guanxi with suppliers, customers, competitors and authorities yields signifi cant sustainable competitive advantages. As guanxi practices, however, may pose unforeseeable risks to unsuspecting managers, guanxi-based business strategies are also assessed in terms of compliance with legal and ethical standards.
Contents Introduction: Th e Ubiquitous Phenomenon of Guanxi; Review of Previous Research; Method- ological Considerations.- Th e Guanxi System: Th e Cultural Embeddedness Argument; Conceptual- izing Guanxi; Transitory Considerations.- Guanxi- Based Business Strategies: What Is Strategy? Th e Role of Sustainable Competitive Advantage; Typology of Guanxi-Based Business Strategies; Notes on Strategy Implementation.- Discussion: Assessment from a Legal Perspective; Implications for Business Ethics; Outlook: Durability of Results.

A. Verheij, Lawyer, The Netherlands; M. Faure , Maas- tricht University, The Netherlands (Eds.) Shifts in Compensation for Environmental Damage
Th is book deals with shift s in compensation of environmental damages. In many countries, various shift s have taken place between private and public funding regarding environmental damage compensation. Th is is the fi rst book to critically present shift s in this domain theoretically with many supporting practical examples. Normally, victims of environmental damage had to seek relief via private legal mechanisms. In many systems a shift towards public oriented compensation has occurred. Th is is clear in areas such as the interna- tional oil pollution and nuclear damage. Shift s in private and public compensation mechanisms are described and critically discussed, with empirical data and economic analyses of the eff ectiveness of the international oil pollution fund’s capacity to compensate oil pollution victims. Shift s in some national legal systems towards greater government involvement as well as within specifi c private legal systems are also described.

R. Wegerif, University of Southampton, UK Dialogic, Education and Technology Expanding the Space of Learning
Th is book is about using new technology to draw people into the kind of dialogues which take them beyond themselves into learning, thinking and creativity. Th e program of research reported in this book reveals key characteristics of learning dialogues and demonstrates ways in which computers and networks can deepen, enrich and expand such dialogues. A dialogic perspective is developed drawing upon recent work in commu- nications theory, psychology, computer science and philosophy. Th is perspective foregrounds the creative space opened up by authentic dialogues. Whereas studies of computer-supported collab- orative learning have tended to see dialogue as a means to the end of knowledge construction the dialogic perspective taken by this book sees dialogue as an end in itself - in fact moving learners into the space of dialogue is described as the core aim of education.
Features 7 Focuses on development of theory and empirical research 7 Reports a coherent program, exploring the dialogic perspective of the use of technology in education 7 Encompasses a wide range of ages and uses, including: soft ware to promote spoken reasoning in young children, studies of computer tools to support induction into argumentation, and accounts of the creative refl ec- tive communities of practice on line

P. B. Thompson, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA (Ed.) Food Biotechnology in Ethical Perspective
Agrifood biotechnology – the genetic transforma- tion of plants and animals through recombinant means – has created controversy in the food system for more than twenty years. Th is thor- oughly revised and amended edition of Paul B. Th ompson’s path breaking study of ethical and philosophical issues raised by this technology up to date. Th e original 1997 edition was the fi rst book length treatment by a philosopher to focus on food and agricultural biotechnology, covering ethical issues associated with risk assessment, labelling, animal transformation, patents, and the impact of biotechnology on traditional farming communities in both the developed and devel- oping world. Th e new edition refl ects lessons from the hotly contested debates over those issues in the intervening decade, and includes wholly new discussions on ethical issues associated with livestock cloning, the Precautionary Principle, and the transatlantic debate between United States and European perspectives on biotechnology.
Features 7 Off ers an original and provocative approach to the ethical analysis of technological risk 7 Presents an update of the most frequently cited philosophical book on agrifood biotechnology 7 Written in non-technical language accessible to non-specialists
Fields of interest Philosophy of Technology; Agriculture; Pragma- tism
Target groups Science studies scholars, especially philosophers, working on food or agriculture, molecular biolo- gists working in plant or animal transformation, policy makers and activists following the regula- tion and debate over GMO’s, scholars of environ- mental policy, scholars in risk studies, philoso- phers working in philosophy of technology
