Temperature and heat, entropy and order or disorder are key classical concepts of physics. These are challenged by searching matter under extreme conditions, such as high (relativistic) energy, strong acceleration or gravitation, or unusual complexity due to long range correlations. In our quest for quark matter all these conditions might occur simultaneously. This book, strongly motivated by the authors' everyday research experiences in the field of high-energy heavy-ion collisions, aims to bundle these challenges to modern physics.

This book investigates the relationship between politics and economics in rentier states, with a particular focus on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from 2003 to 2020. Resource-rich states face low levels of economic growth due to the various factors of corruption, weak performance of institutions, poor levels of accountability and transparency in governance, and absence of rule of law. While most previous studies of the topic focus on either the political or economic concerns, this book focuses on their interaction.

The book explores the political hurdles in resource-rich states,...

"Jewish stories," writes Adam Biro, "resemble every people's stories." Yet at the same time there is no better way to understand the soul, history, millennial suffering, or, crucially, the joys of the Jewish people than through such tales--"There's nothing," writes Biro, "more revelatory of the Jewish being."

With Is It Good for the Jews? Biro offers a sequel to his acclaimed collection of stories Two Jews on a Train. Through twenty-nine tales--some new, some old, but all finely wrought and rich in humor--Biro spins stories of characters coping with the...

Heaven and Hell protect us from what is about to be unleashed...

Lucifer has tired of the war between Heaven and Hell. In the Throne Room of the Most High, he asks if he may be forgiven and join the ranks of the Angelic once again. The Lord rejoices, forgiving the wayward Angel and bringing him back into the fold he so longed for. Realizing that the Mantle of Satan must be worn for the Lord's plans for humanity to work, God and Lucifer must find a successor. A mortal is chosen; a man who has been behind the veil of reality and knows some of the innermost workings of the war between the...
