New World Disorder
A coruscating analysis of current international relations, setting out the dangers the world will face if the West does not succeed in reinventing itself.The West is under pressure, and it has only itself to blame. Over the past 30 years, through a mixture of naivety and arrogance, it has lost its global advantage. The challenges are profound: the rise of China, climate change, and the polarisation of society. It’s time for a new start: modernity must become sustainable if it is to survive. The triumph of the West had seemed unstoppable not that long ago. After the end of the Cold War, the democratic market economy took hold in the former Eastern Bloc, Russia went from being an enemy to a partner, and even China turned to capitalism. Then came the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that shook the world. The War on Terror destabilised an entire region; the Arab Spring only brought forth new autocracies; and, following the annexation of Crimea, the confrontation with Russia intensified. Instead of a liberal world order, a new world disorder has emerged. Peter R. Neumann, an internationally acclaimed expert on terrorism and geopolitics, uncovers the mistakes that led to our present dire situation and outlines what must happen now.

Radicalized
As ISIS seeks to expand its reach in the Middle East, its territory serves as a base for training and operations for a new generation of jihadis. Thousands of young people from the West, primarily from Europe, have travelled to join ISIS, re-emerging as hardened fighters with military training and a network of international contacts. Many of these have now returned to their homelands, where it is feared they are planning a new series of brutal attacks. Peter R. Neumann here explains the phenomenon of the 'new jihadis', and shows why the threat of terrorism in the West is greater than ever before. Based on interviews and previously-unseen material, Neumann provides an essential introduction to one of the greatest crises of our time."

Die Reine Unterhaltsstiftung
Diese Untersuchung befasst sich mit privatnützigen reinen Unterhaltsstiftungen, die durch ihre Leistungen das Auskommen der Begünstigten sichern, ohne dass diese Leistungen einen Gemeinwohlbezug aufweisen. Der Autor fragt dabei aus einer rechtsvergleichenden Perspektive, ob reine Unterhaltsstiftungen ihrem Zweck nach mit der deutschen Gesamtrechtsordnung vereinbar sind. Er kommt dabei zu dem Ergebnis, dass diese wesentlichen Prinzipien der Rechtsordnung widersprechen, etwa dem Gedanken der Generationengerechtigkeit sowie den Grundsätzen von Eigenverantwortung, Leistungsfähigkeit und Chancengleichheit. Dies folgt daraus, dass reinen Unterhaltsstiftungen das Merkmal der Gemeinwohlorientierung fehlt, mit welchem Stiftungen allgemein assoziiert werden.

Right Price
The US prescription drug business is a $500 billion industry whose rising prices carry profound consequences for patients, caregivers, employers and taxpayers across the nation. In the United States, average prices of leading brand-name drugs are two to four times higher than prices charged in other wealthy countries, raising questions as to what Americans are getting for the extra expense. On the other hand, healthy industry returns have arguably fueled life-savinginnovation. With the advent of ever more targeted and powerful treatments, including cell- and gene-based therapies with multi-million-dollar price tags, the need for sensible drug pricing policies will only intensify.The Right Price sheds light on the controversial topic of drug pricing by providing an accessible guide to pharmaceutical markets and analytic techniques used to measure the value of drug therapies. It illustrates the need for value-based pricing through real-life stories of patients and their experiences with the drug industry and explains why simple solutions like price controls and the importation of cheaper drugs from other countries are problematic. This volume describes howresearchers and policy makers have pursued drug valuation efforts in the past, and lays out a series of recommendations, based on years of shared author experience serving on national drug policy platforms, for how to further improve pharmaceutical value assessment in the United States.With unique industry insights and clear narrative, The Right Price unveils why the pricing of drugs continues to be so challenging and how public and private officials can create more informed policies to achieve the right balance between drug pricing and value.

Estimates of the Neumann Problem. (MN-19), Volume 19
The ?? Neumann problem is probably the most important and natural example of a non-elliptic boundary value problem, arising as it does from the Cauchy-Riemann equations. It has been known for some time how to prove solvability and regularity by the use of L2 methods. In this monograph the authors apply recent methods involving the Heisenberg group to obtain parametricies and to give sharp estimates in various function spaces, leading to a better understanding of the ?? Neumann problem. The authors have added substantial background material to make the monograph more accessible to students. Originally published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Strategy of Terrorism
This is the first book to set out a comprehensive framework by which to understand terrorism as strategy. It contends that even terrorism of the supposedly nihilist variety can be viewed as a bona fide method for distributing means to fulfil the ends of policy, that is, as a strategy. The main purpose of the work is to describe the dynamics of terrorism and evaluate their effectiveness, as well as to theorize upon, and clarify the correlation between, political ends and terrorist means. The text explains the modus operandi of terrorism, and demonstrates how terrorism relies on manipulating the psychological impact of (usually) relatively small-scale attacks. Using a variety of case studies, The Strategy of Terrorism shows how many campaigns of terrorism end in failure when they lose their power to terrify. The authors spell out what a proper understanding of terrorism as a strategy implies for those who want to make terrorism ineffective, and offer a number of policy recommendations derived directly from their critique.This is the first contribution of strategic studies to the study of terrorism, and will be of much interest to students of terrorism, strategy and security studies, as well as military professionals and policy makers.

Noncommutative Integration and Operator Theory
The purpose of this monograph is to provide a systematic account of the theory of noncommutative integration in semi-finite von Neumann algebras. It is designed to serve as an introductory graduate level text as well as a basic reference for more established mathematicians with interests in the continually expanding areas of noncommutative analysis and probability. Its origins lie in two apparently distinct areas of mathematical analysis: the theory of operator ideals going back to von Neumann and Schatten and the general theory of rearrangement invariant Banach lattices of measurable functions which has its roots in many areas of classical analysis related to the well-known Lp-spaces. A principal aim, therefore, is to present a general theory which contains each of these motivating areas as special cases.

Transitional Justice
Umbrueche im politischen System eines Staates stellen auch das Rechtssystem vor gewaltige Probleme. Das gilt in besonderem Masse dann, wenn es darum geht, systematische Menschenrechtsverletzungen eines diktatorischen Regimes nach dessen Ende rechtlich aufzuarbeiten. Die politischen Entscheidungen, die hier zu treffen sind und deren Rahmen sich schlagwortartig durch die Alternative Versoehnung oder Bestrafung kennzeichnen laesst, muessen sich zugleich an den Massstaeben von Recht und Gerechtigkeit messen lassen (Transitional Justice). Dieser Band dokumentiert die Beitraege zu einem deutsch-brasilianischen Symposium zum Thema Transitional Justice, das im Juli 2012 an der Goethe-Universitaet Frankfurt am Main stattfand. Kooperationspartner war unter anderem die Amnestiekommission des brasilianischen Justizministeriums.

Seven
‘An exciting new writer – sharp, compelling and original’ – Mark Lawrence Years have passed since the Vagrant journeyed to the Shining City, Vesper in arm and Gamma’s sword in hand. Since then the world has changed. Vesper, following the footsteps of her father, journeyed to the breach and closed the tear between worlds, protecting the last of humanity, but also trapping the infernal horde and all those that fell to its corruptions: willing or otherwise. In this new age it is Vesper who leads the charge towards unity and peace, with seemingly nothing standing between the world and a bright new future. That is until eyes open. And The Seven awaken.

Behemoth
Franz Neumann's classic account of the governmental workings of Nazi Germany, first published in 1942, is reprinted in a new paperback edition with an introduction by the distinguished historian Peter Hayes. Neumann was one of the only early Frankfurt School thinkers to examine seriously the problem of political institutions. After the rise of the Nazis to power, his emphasis shifted to an analysis of economic power, and then after the war to political psychology. But his contributions in Behemoth were groundbreaking: that the Nazi organization of society involved the collapse of traditional ideas of the state, of ideology, of law, and even of any underlying rationality. The book must be "studied, not simply read," Raul Hilberg wrote.

Bindung der Staatsanwaltschaft an die höchstrichterliche Rechtsprechung; Mit einem Vorwort von Ulfrid Neumann
Die seit mehreren Jahrzehnten umstrittene Problematik der Bindung der Staatsanwaltschaft an die höchstrichterliche Rechtsprechung bei der Strafbarkeitsbewertung der Tat (BGHSt 15, 155) wird in der Studie als eine Frage der spezifischen Rollenverteilung im Strafverfahren aufgegriffen. Damit werden die älteren, mehr auf das Wesen der Staatsanwaltschaft fokussierten Standpunkte zu Gunsten einer funktionalen Analyse aufgegeben. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wurde der Herausarbeitung der für die einzelnen in der Literatur vertretenen Meinungen ausschlaggebenden Vorverständnisse gegeben. Die Studie enthält auch wertvolle rechtsvergleichende Hinweise, vor allem in Bezug auf das Verfahrensrecht in der Schweiz.

Stottern Und Poltern: Entstehung, Diagnose, Behandlung
Wissenschaftler und Stottertherapeuten stellen gemeinsam die aktuellen und gesicherten Erkenntnisse zu Redeflussstörungen (Stottern und Poltern) vor. Sie zeigen, dass Stottern in hohem Maße erblich ist, mit strukturellen und funktionellen Hirnveränderungen einhergeht und ein neurologisches Störungsbild darstellt. Sie räumen auf mit der Vorstellung, dass Stottern durch frühkindliche Erfahrungen hervorgerufen wird: Eltern eines stotternden Kindes haben in der sprachlichen Erziehung nichts falsch gemacht. Die Autoren benennen Therapien, die Stottern beseitigen oder zumindest mindern können, und Therapien, die populär sein mögen, aber nicht wirken. Das Buch ist ein hilfreicher Ratgeber für Betroffene, ein umfangreiches Nachschlagewerk für Stottertherapeuten und eine maßgebliche Leitlinie für Ärzte.

Transmodern Literatures in the 21st Century
Transmodern Literatures in the 21st Century: Of(f) Limits offers an in-depth examination of how transmodern literatures in English over the last two decades have addressed the phenomenon of the limit. The 14 chapters that make up the volume examine how geographical, racial, ethnical, sociocultural, generical, ontological, epistemological, and other limits are articulated, transgressed, and reconfigured in recent narratives by authors writing in a wide variety of transmodern trends such as Afro- and Africanfuturism, Young Adult feminist science fiction, food fiction, air travel fiction, the networked novel, and future narratives amongst others. They thereby expose and challenge hierarchised binary dichotomies as Euro- and Anthropocentric exclusionary discursive constructs that have kept non-hegemonic voices off limits. To counter the detrimental effects of the neoliberal grand narrative of globalisation, the chapters as well as the narratives of the limit they analyse emphasise an urgent need for inclusiveness, relationality, and communality.

Groups and Geometry
"Groups and Geometry" contains the Oxford Mathematical Institute notes for undergraduates and first-year postgraduates. The content, although guided by the Oxford syllabus, covers other material, some introductory and some that, because of limited time, had to be excluded from or curtailed in the syllabus. This book is about the measurement of symmetry, which is what groups are for. Symmetry is visable in all parts of mathematics and in many other areas, and geometrical symmetry is the most visable of all. For this reason, groups and geometry are close neighbours. The first half of the book (chapters 1-9) covers groups and the second half (chapters 10-18) covers geometry, with the symbiotic relationship between the two more than justifying the union. Both parts contain a number of exercises that should be helpful to the reader wishing to gain a fuller understanding of this area of mathematics.

Extended Performance Evaluation Based on DEA
This study introduces new methodological developments of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) that satisfy the demands of business practice and provide a multidimensional point of view on the evaluation of organizational performance. The author extends the focus of performance evaluation based on DEA, which is originally placed on efficiency, to effectiveness and balance. Such a multidimensional point of view provides different insights into organizational performance, which by complementing each other have several implications for managerial decision making.

Dilemma of China's Dryland Agriculture in Inner Mongolia
China must increase its agricultural production and yields of staple crops to guarantee food security. This leads to ever-increasing agricultural land-use in Inner Mongolia and has contributed to the environmental problems visible today. Vast economic development and involvement in globalized markets have all left a measurable mark on Inner Mongolia’s environment. The author provides insight into Inner Mongolia’s dryland agriculture, its agitators, environmental, social and political obstacles as well as opportunities. Conducted in Inner Mongolia, her research illustrates the development process of a sustainable agriculture and the evolution of environmental awareness in an economically and ecologically underdeveloped region.

Democratic Responses To Terrorism
Democratic Responses to Terrorism tackles how to protect democratic societies against terrorist violence while, at the same time, making sure that the steps democracies take to protect themselves do no fundamental harm to the rule of law and the rights of citizens. With a foreword by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil, the essays here assess such elements as the role of the legal framework, human rights, democracy and civil society, as well as international cooperation. The series explores one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to reconcile the need to fight terrorism with our desire to protect and enhance democratic values. The volumes are an outgrowth of a summit conference organized by the Club de Madrid, an independent organization comprised of many former heads of state, dedicated to strengthening democracy around the world.

Green Urbanism In Asia: The Emerging Green Tigers
The world is facing an age of scarcity which will challenge all cities to reduce their resource footprint, especially carbon, improve biodiversity and at the same time continue to create economic opportunities and liveable places. This is green urbanism. Asian urban growth is leading the world in the rapidity of its change but how is it doing on green urbanism? This book finds emerging innovations and first signs of green urbanism in Asia and suggests they may be the guiding light for the rest of the world. The authors highlight seven archetypal cities exhibiting green urbanism: the renewable energy city, the bioregional carbon neutral city, the distributed city, the biophilic city, the eco-efficient city, the place-based city and the sustainable transport city. The book is a must-read for all who are concerned with the future of our cities as it instills hope that a greener urban future is possible.
