Content: Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how 'to conquer the unyielding with the yielding'. The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction between gravity, turbulence and magnetic fields. This interaction again follows the nature rules that inspired Tai Chi. For example, if self-gravity is the force that dominates, the molecular cloud will collapse isotropically, which compresses magnetic field lines. The density of the yielding field lines increases until magnetic pressure reaches the critical value to support the cloud against the gravitational force in directions perpendicular to the field lines (Lorentz force). Then gravity gives way to Lorentz force, accumulating gas only along the field lines till the gas density achieves the critical value to again compress the field lines. The Tai Chi goes on in a self-similar way.

Content: While neutron halos were discovered 30 years ago, this is the first book written on the subject of this exotic form of nuclei that typically contain many more neutrons than stable isotopes of those elements. It provides an introductory description of the halo and outlines the discovery and evidence for its existence. It also discusses different theoretical models of the halo's structure as well as models and techniques in reaction theory that have allowed us to study the halo. This is written at the graduate student (starting at PhD) level.

Content: Physical biology is a fusion of biology and physics. This book narrows down the scope of physical biology by focusing on the microbial cell; exploring the physical phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria. It looks at the microbe from a physics perspective, asking how the cell optimizes its function to live within the constraints of physics. It introduces a physical and information-based (as opposed to microbiological) perspective on communication and signalling between microbes.

Content: This book introduces undergraduate and graduate students to a crystallographer's view of real and reciprocal space, a concept that has been of particular use by crystallographers to understand the patterns of spots when x-rays are diffracted by crystals. It then proceeds to develop the concept in a form suitable for physics applications; such as how solid-state physicists use reciprocal space to explain various solid-state properties such as thermal and electrical phenomena.

Content: Physics is expressed in the language of mathematics; it is deeply ingrained in how physics is taught and how it's practiced. A study of the mathematics used in science is thus a sound intellectual investment for training as scientists and engineers. This first volume of two is centered on methods of solving partial differential equations and the special functions introduced. This text is based on a course offered at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and while produced for NPS needs, it will serve other universities well.

Content: Long description: Kathrin Röggla (*1971 in Salzburg) gehört zu den meistrezipierten deutschsprachigen AutorInnen der Gegenwart. Sie ist Vizepräsidentin der AdK sowie Mitglied der Deutschen Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung in Darmstadt. Ihr Werk ist breit gefächert und umfasst sowohl Prosa als auch Texte für Radio, Fernsehen und Theater. Die ästhetischen Dimensionen der Texte Kathrin Rögglas und die in ihnen problematisierten Diskurse, Themen und Phänomene werden in der Forschung häufig als repräsentativ für einen neuen Realismus gesehen, der dem Anspruch auf Dokumentarizität und Authentizität gerecht zu werden sucht, dabei aber gleichzeitig die Fiktionalitätstauglichkeit und den Konstruktionscharakter der tangierten Bereiche hervorhebt. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge nehmen literarische, essayistische, filmische, dramatische und akustische Werke Rögglas in den Blick. Sie gehen literarischen Traditionslinien nach, untersuchen poetologische Eigenheiten der Werke und legen in ihnen verhandelte Diskurse offen.

Content: Long description: To justify the plundering of today's Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. intellectual elites have continuously produced dismissive Congo discourses. Tracing these discourses in great depth and breadth for the first time, Johnny Van Hove shows how U.S. intellectuals (and their influential European counterparts) have been using the Congo in similar fashions for their own goals. Analyzing intellectuals as diverse as W.E.B. Du Bois, Joseph Conrad, and David Van Reybrouck, the book offers a theorization of Central West Africa, a case study of normalized narratives on the Other, and a stirring wake up call for all contemporary writers on international history and politics.

Content: Biographical note: Johnny Van Hove (PhD) works as a scientific consultant in the field of migration. He writes for various news media in Germany, the U.S., and Belgium.
