Content: Michel Houellebecq is a French author whose profile in the English-speaking world is unusually high. He is an author who has put the humour back into the Absurd, without losing any of the awareness of the bleakness of the human condition. Undoubtedly one of the most trenchant satirists of our time, he deflates the projected utopias that we imagine protect us from the ills that beset us. More than many other novelists, his work is a reflection of the social and economic reality of life in a post-industrial society. Houellebecq shows a world of violence and tension, a world where people find it hard to be at ease, so that life becomes a process of disease. This book foregrounds Houellebecq’s scrutiny of our various attempts to confront and transcend the fundamental reality of the human condition, in particular the horror of death.

Series Statement: International Series in Quantitative Marketing, 3

Content: This book is about the role of expert systems in marketing, particularly in the consumer goods industry. Section I describes the changing nature of consumer marketing and presents the rationale and need for expert systems. The remainder of the book combines a tutorial on expert systems with a series of expert system prototypes. The tutorial material is presented in three places. First, section II is devoted to introducing expert systems in general. Chapter 3 provides a general introduction to the topic, which is continued in chapter 4 where a small expert system (the Promotion Advisor) is used to illustrate the important features of a backward-chaining, rule-based system. The promotion theme is extended in chapter 5 where a larger system is presented. The material in all three of these chapters was designed as an introduction and tutorial on the most common technology for building applied expert systems: the backward-chaining, rule-based inference engine. Tutorial material is also contained in the body of the chapters that describe the prototypes. This material is usually in the form of sample rules and a description of the process for applying the rules. The third location of the expert system material is in chapters that follow discussions of the prototypes. Chapter 7 is a technical chapter on the coupling of expert systems to traditional systems.

Content: "Ein Jugendlicher aus dem Arbeitermilieu gerät durch familiäre Schicksalsschläge auf die schiefe Bahn und wird über die Jahre zum stadtbekannten Gauner. Als er sich in eine sozial engagierte junge Frau aus der Oberschicht verliebt, hinterfragt er sein Leben, stößt damit aber auf Widerstand, Neid und Aggression in seinem Viertel. Nach der Autobiografie von Owen Frawley Kildare inszeniertes Stummfilm-Melodram, das als Gangsterfilm daherkommt, dramaturgisch indes eher als Sozialdrama funktioniert. Ästhetisch stark mit grafischen Licht- und Schatteneffekten spielend, ist der mit einem spektakulären Showdown endende Film ein frühes Beispiel für ambitioniertes Unterhaltungskino. Sorgfältig restauriert und durch eine kleine, furios aufspielende Jazz-Band vertont (2015), erscheint das Kleinod in würdigem Glanz." [filmdienst.de]

Content: High dynamic range (HDR) capture and display systems have proven capable of dramatically improving images, ranging from Renaissance paintings and early silver-halide photography to sensor research, camera design, image processing, display technology, and human-vision research. This Spotlight provides a gateway to understanding HDR imaging. Topics include how painters and photographers succeeded before electronic imaging; how optical glare transforms scene radiances; and how sensors, signal processing, and human spatial image processing generates sensations.
