This handbook in two volumes synthesises our knowledge about the ecology of Central Europe’s plant cover with its 7000-yr history of human impact, covering Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Based on a thorough literature review with 5500 cited references and nearly 1000 figures and tables, the two books review in 26 chapters all major natural and man-made vegetation types with their climatic and edaphic influences, the structure and dynamics of their communities, the ecophysiology of important plant species, and key aspects of ecosystem functioning. Volume I deals with the forests and scrub vegetation and analyses the ecology of Central Europe’s tree flora, whilst Volume II is dedicated to the non-forest vegetation covering mires, grasslands, heaths, alpine habitats and urban vegetation. The consequences of over-use, pollution and recent climate change over the last century are explored and conservation issues addressed. <br>

<p>Ausgehend von exemplarischen Werken (deutsch-)jüdischer Autorinnen und Autoren nach 1945 loten die BeiträgerInnen den vielstimmigen Resonanzraum aus, in dem unterschiedliche Formen der Rückkehr nach Deutschland oder Österreich beschrieben werden. Dabei münden in den meist stark autobiografisch geprägten Texten nicht selten die Hoffnungen, die in einen Neuanfang gesetzt werden, in die schmerzliche Einsicht, dass das Land unwiderruflich mit seiner Geschichte verbunden und dass eine Rückkehr in die ‚verlorene Zeit‘ vor der Shoah nicht möglich ist. Analysiert werden Texte von Jean Améry, Hannah Arendt, Sammy Gronemann, Hans Mayer, Amos Oz, Doron Rabinovici, Margarete Susman, Arnold Zweig u. a. Der Band ist das Ergebnis einer zweijährigen interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit deutscher und israelischer NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen.</p> <p>Based on exemplary post-1945 works of (German-)Jewish authors, the contributions to this volume sound out the polyphonic ‘resonance chamber’, in which diverse forms of remigration to Germany or Austria are delineated. Quite often within these texts – most of which are autobiographically influenced – the high hopes for a new beginning culminate into the painful realisation that there is just no way back to the ‘lost time’ before the Shoah. The case studies analyze, inter alia, works of Jean Améry, Hannah Arendt, Sammy Gronemann, Hans Mayer, Amoz Oz, Doron Rabinovici, Margarete Susman and Arnold Zweig. The present volume is the result of two years of interdisciplinary cooperation by young scholars from Israel and Germany.</p>

This book explores the activism and solidarity movements formed by contemporary European citizens in opposition to populism, which has risen significantly in reaction to globalization, European integration and migration. It makes the counterforces to neo-nationalisms visible and re-envisions key concepts such as democracy/public sphere, power/empowerment, intersectionality and conflict/cooperation in civil society. The book makes a theoretical and empirical contribution to citizenship studies, covering several forms such as contestatory, solidary, everyday and creative citizenship. The chapters examine the diverse movements against national populism, othering and exclusion in various parts of the European Union, such as Denmark, Finland, the UK, Austria, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Italy. The national case studies focus on counterforces to ethnic and religious divisions, as well as genders and sexualities, various expressions of anti-migration, Romanophobia, Islamophobia and homophobia. The book’s overall focus on local, national and transnational forms of resistance is premised on values of respect and tolerance of diversity in an increasingly multi-cultural Europe. <p></p>

This two-volume book considers from a risk perspective the current phenomenon of the new Alt-Right authoritarianism and whether it represents ‘real’ democracy or an unacceptable hegemony potentially resulting in elected dictatorships and abuses as well as dysfunctional government. Contributing authors represent an eclectic range of disciplines, including cognitive, organizational and political psychology, sociology, history, political science, international relations, linguistics and discourse analysis, and risk analysis. The Alt-Right threats and risk exposures, whether to democracy, human rights, law and order, social welfare, racial harmony, the economy, national security, the environment, and international relations, are identified and analysed across a number of selected countries. While Vol. 1 (ISBN 978-3-8382-1153-4) focusses on the US, Vol. 2 illuminates the phenomenon in the United Kingdom, Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Hungary, and Russia. Potential strategies to limit the Alt-Right threat are proposed.

<div> This volume examines the emergence of modern popular culture between the 1830s and the 1860s, when popular storytelling meant serial storytelling and when new printing techniques and an expanding infrastructure brought serial entertainment to the masses. Analyzing fiction and non-fiction narratives from the United States, France, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Turkey, and Brazil, <i>Popular Culture—Serial Culture </i>offers a transnational perspective on border-crossing serial genres from the <i>roman feuilleton</i> and the city mystery novel to abolitionist gift books and world’s fairs. <br> </div> <div> <br> </div>

<p>Over the past 20 years, the increased dominance in banking of the shareholder ownership model, whose main purpose is to maximize financial returns for shareholders, has proved to be a toxic combination with the financial deregulation the sector has undergone, the creation of new financial instruments and the concomitant rising levels of debt. Despite the growing role of private limited-liability banks around the world, co-operative banking still offers a compelling alternative, especially in Europe where the roots of co-operative institutions date back to the nineteenth century.</p> <p>This book studies the characteristics of different co-operative banking models of networks across several European countries to assess their impact on the profitability and resilience of the networks and their co-operative components. To date, empirical studies have neglected to examine the features of the networks to which co-operative banks belong. Surprisingly, there is little evidence on the extent to which the diverse organizational network structures determine differences in the profits and stability of  individual banks and their networks across different countries. The principal objective of this book is to fill this gap in the literature. The European countries considered are Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. In these countries, co-operative banks constitute a significant presence although the organizational forms their networks take are quite different. Focusing on this sample of European countries therefore affords insights and reveals policy implications about the role that network organizations play in driving the performances of co-operative banks, which will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students of banking and financial institutions.</p> <p></p>

<p>Alexander Reiter describes optimal path and trajectory planning for serial robots in general, and rigorously treats the challenging application of path tracking for kinematically redundant manipulators therein in particular. This is facilitated by resolving both the path tracking task and the optimal inverse kinematics problem simultaneously. Furthermore, the author presents methods for fast computation of approximate optimal solutions to planning problems with changing parameters. With an optimal solution to a nominal problem, an iterative process based on parametric sensitivities is applied to rapidly obtain an approximate solution.<b><br></b></p> <p><b>About the Author:</b></p> <p><b>Dr. Alexander Reiter</b> is a senior scientist at the Institute of Robotics of the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Austria. His major fields of research are kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory planning for kinematically redundant serial robots as well as real-time methods for solving parametric non-linear programming problems.</p>
