Konec podzimu (Deireadh an Fhoghair, 1979) je pokládán za vůbec nejlepší román napsaný ve skotské gaelštině ve dvacátém století. Odehrává se během jednoho dne a noci v odlehlé části odlehlého ostrova, který nápadně připomíná autorův rodný Lewis. Tvoří jej rozhovory a vzpomínky tří starých přátel, kteří žijí prostým životem v místě, odkud již všichni ostatní odešli nebo zemřeli. V románu je patrný silný vliv evropského modernismu, zejména Becketta a Joyce, který se protíná s odkazy na starobylou gaelskou literaturu a kulturu. Ačkoliv...

This NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in Geilo between March 29th and April 9th 1981, was the sixth in a series devoted to the subject of phase transitions and instabilities. The present institute was intended to provide a forum for discussion of the importance of nonlinear phenomena associated with instabilities in systems as seemingly disparate as ferroelectrics and rotating buckets of oil. Ten years ago, at the first Geilo school, the report of a central peak in the fluctuation spectrum of SrTi0 close to its 3 106 K structural phase transition demonstrated that the simple soft-mode...

This NATO Advanced Study Institute held at Gei10, Norway, April 16th-27th 1979, was the fifth in a series devoted to the subject of phase transitions and instabilities. The application to NATO for the funding of this ASI contained the following para graphs: "Traditionally one has made a clear distinction between solids and liquids in terms of positional order, one being long-ranged and the other at most short-ranged. In recent years experiments have revealed a much more faceted picture and a less sharp distinction between solids and liquids. As an example one now has 3-dimensiona1 (3-D)...

The global emergencies facing the inhabitants of our planet--climate change, diminishing biodiversity, ocean acidification, overfishing, land degradation, and more--are symptoms of a common problem: the world is full. Humanity has already exceeded several planetary boundaries. The situation is without precedent and its manifestations are numerous. Ethics for a Full World argues that our dominant culture of anthropocentrism--our human-centric thinking--is an underlying cause of the world's problems, threatening life as we know it.

Many today, especially those who care...

This volume comprises the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Geilo, Norway, between 4 - 14 April 1989. This Institute was the tenth in a series held at Geilo on the subject of phase transitions. It was the first to be concerned with the growing area of soft condensed matter, which is neither ordinary solids nor ordinary liquids, but somewhere in between. The Institute brought together many lecturers, students and active researchers in the field from a wide range of NATO and some non-NATO countries, with financial support principally from the NATO Scientific Affairs...

The area of individual differences and segmentation is of great importance in modern science, since average effects and tendencies are found to lack important information and do not offer enough opportunities to support modern technologies and techniques.

Individual Differences in Sensory and Consumer Science presents easily readable state-of-the-art coverage of how to plan and execute experiments which give rise to individual differences, and then provides the framework for successful analysis and interpretation of these results. The book highlights the different...

As we move further into the 21st Century, sensory and consumer studies continue to develop, playing an important role in food science and industry. These studies are crucial for understanding the relation between food properties on one side and human liking and buying behaviour on the other.

This book by a group of established scientists gives a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the most common statistical methods for handling data from both trained sensory panels and consumer studies of food.

It presents the topic in two distinct sections: problem-orientated (Part I) and method...

This collection of studies is a sequel to Hägg's popular survey, 'The Novel of Antiquity' (1983), and a companion volume to his recent 'The Virgin and Her Lover'. The book offers a fully indexed version of his main contributions in the field, especially from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as previously unpublished work, a new Xenophon, and Heliodoros, Hägg also widens the scope with studies on the lives of Aesop and Apollonios of Tyana and on the oriental reception of the Greek novel.

Multivariate Calibration Harald Martens, Chemist, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Aas, Norway and Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo, Norway Tormod Naes, Statistician, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Aas, Norway The aim of this inter-disciplinary book is to present an up-to-date view of multivariate calibration of analytical instruments, for use in research, development and routine laboratory and process operation. The book is intended to show practitioners in chemistry and technology how to extract the quantitative and understandable information embedded in non-selective, overwhelming...

Recent years have seen a growing interest in and activity at the interface between physics and biology, with the realization that both subjects have a great deal to learn from and to teach to one another. A particularly promising aspect of this interface concerns the area of cooperative phenomena and phase transitions. The present book addresses both the structure and motion of biological materials and the increasingly complex behaviour that arises out of interactions in large systems, giving rise to self organization, adaptation, selection and evolution: concepts of interest not only to...

This volume contains the proceedings of a NATO Advanced study Institute held at Geilo, Norway between 2 - 12 april 1991. This institute was the eleventh in a series held biannually at Geilo on the subject of phase transitions. It was intended to capture the latest ideas on selforgan ized patterns and criticality. The Institute brought together many lecturers, students and active re searchers in the field from a wide range of NATO and non-NATO countries. The main financial support came from the NATO scientific Affairs Divi sion, but additional support was obtained from the Norwegian Research...

Systems with competing energy scales are widespread and exhibit rich and subtle behaviour, although their systematic study is a relatively recent activity. This text presents lectures given at a NATO Advanced Study Institute reviewing the current knowledge and understanding of the subject, particularly with regard to phase transitions and dynamics, at an advanced tutorial level.
