Structuring Design. Graphic Grids in Theory and Practice
La communication visuelle s'efforce de structurer les contenus et de tenir compte des principes inhérents à chaque type de produits de manière à ce qu'un roman, un magazine ou un catalogue d'oeuvres d'art soit immédiatement identifié en tant que tel. Le présent ouvrage contient une foule d'explications, conseils pratiques et informations de base sur ce thème. Il accorde une place de choix à la grille, principe fondamental de toute maquette dont la fonction et les diverses applications sont présentées en détail. La grille facilite en effet à la fois la lecture et la compréhension des contenus. Dans une seconde partie, l'auteur donne des précisions sur ce qu'il convient de respecter durant les différentes phases d'élaboration d'une maquette. La troisième partie est plus théorique puisqu'elle aborde les rapports entre la méthode et l'intuition. L'ouvrage se termine par un glossaire exhaustif.

Practice and Problems in English Grammar and Usage
This book aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and didactic grammar by familiarizing students with traditional terminology and notorious problem areas of English grammar - often otherwise ignored or neglected - and presenting them with a range of carefully chosen practice questions including challenging translation exercises for German students. Because it is often not simply ungrammaticality, but a certain un-Englishness, oddness, or awkwardness that marks students' English, this book is also a workbook on usage and style. A grammatical workbook and textbook in one, it has the unique advantage that almost all practice questions can be answered on the basis of information provided within the book and as a result can be used for individual study as well as school and university work. It will greatly help reinforce students' knowledge of grammar and give students the much needed practice and training in not only grammatically correct, but stylistically appropriate and natural English usage.

Practice and Problems in Language Testing 1
The First International Symposium of the Interuniversitäre Sprachtestgruppe at the Bundessprachenamt, Hürth, brought together a group of experts in language testing from a wide variety of backgrounds. This volume contains selected papers from the meeting and represents a broad range of topics in language testing, from Bernard Spolsky's paper on ethical questions, to Madeline Lutjeharms' contribution dealing with testing in a multilingual context, Nicolas Ferguson's computerized approach to oral assessment, and Günter Trost's and Horst Bickel's research into aptitude testing. The lively and often critical discussions following these and the other papers by Joseph Rohrer, Douglas K. Stevenson, Jan van Weeren, Wieland and Ulrich Raatz, Helmut J. Vollmer and Veronica Smith/Christine Klein-Braley are included, as is the panel discussion among several of the experts present.

Combinatorics and Graph Theory
This book evolved from several courses in combinatories and graph theory given et Appalachian State University and UCLA. Chapter 1 focuses on finite graph theory, including trees, planarity, coloring, matching, and Ramsey theory. Chapter 2 studies combinatories, including the principle of inclusion and exclusion, generating functions, recurrence relations, Polya theory, the stable marriage problem, and several important classes of numbers. Chapter 3 presents infinite pigeonhole principles, König's lemma, and Ramsey's theorem, and discusses their connections to axiomatic set theory. The text is written in an enthusiastic und lively style. It includes results and problems that cross subdisciplines, emphasizing relationships between different areas of mathematics. In addition, recent results appear in the text, illustrating the fort that mathematics is a living discipline. The text is primarily directed toward upper-division undergraduate students, but lower-division undergraduates with a penchant for proof and graduate students seeking an introduction to these subjects will also find much of interest.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Unemployment Theory
This book attempts to integrate two lines of research. It joins the tradition of nonlinear macrodynamic models of cyclical growth, in particular the Goodwin/Kaldor/Phillips-type models of persistent fluctuations and limit cycles. Capital deepening and capital widening investment is introduced into models of cyclical growth. This approach is combined with recent neo-Keynesian analysis of wage-price formation and unemployment theory. Unemployment is decomposed in terms of demand deficiencies, job shortages, and the impact of capital-labor substitution. In this way a dynamic analysis of unemployment in terms of Classical, Keynesian and technological elements is obtained. It is shown that different components of unemployment can display their own cyclical frequencies and patterns. In this way the typical long and short term cyclical behavior of unemployment is simulated by an integrated nonlinear model of persistent growth cycles.

Dogs. Authentic and fictitious graphic inventory
Dogs is a kennel of 200 drawings made by Jochen Gerner between 2021 and 2023, following his study of birds. Each of these dogs was drawn with pigmented Indian ink felt pens on small-format lined and squared school notebooks from China and India. This series of drawings follows the graphic experiment of Jochen Gerner to explore all the potentialities of the grids, lines and colours in the representation of textures and hair. Focusing on dogs, which Jochen Gerner represents in a touching and very funny multiplicity, this collection reveals us that hardly nothing is required on paper for these dogs to breathe, each of them in an outstanding singularity. Braces, squares, lozenges, waves... The colorful patterns cut and cross each other with a disconcerting, always innovative simplicity to make their hair shine and ripple. With this new bestiary holding as much of the illustration as of graphic design, Jochen Gerner invites us to a whimsical look at the world and proves us once again the singularity of his observation.

Geometric Design and Ornament. 374 Copyright-free Designs for Artists and Craftsmen
Combining the best elements of both geometric and Russian ornament, here are 374 of the infinite number of geometric designs that can be formed from a simple combination of lines with curves, selected from the work of the Russian designer Y. Chernikov.
The designs show dozens of different types of ornament and their intricate combinations and subdivisions: continuous and ribbon-like bands, enclosed spaces (panels), and unlimited flat patterns; networks, band motifs, diaper patterns; sectors, polygons and stars; squares and their subdivisions; octagons, triangles and hexagons; rhomboids and trapezoids; the circle and its subdivisions; etc. Designs range from simple black-and-white flat ornamentation to complex interweavings and tube-like maze figures. Some of the more important designs appear in full-page illustrations, while others are grouped together to show variations on a single element.
The peculiarly Russian influence on these designs is everywhere apparent-motifs stemming from the combination of primitive Russian folklore (seen in those delightful birds, fantastic animals and skirted figures found even today in Russian folk art) and the Byzantine style with the Christian influence brought to Russia by the Tartars between 1237 and 1480.
Others sec modern mathematics and its extension into op-art as the major inspiration of Chernikov's work, but whatever the source, the uses in today's art are almost limitless. Without further payment, permission or acknowledgment, you may use the designs in such media as textiles, crewel-work and needlework patterns, ornamental tiles, magazine, book and record cover art, greeting cards, and commercial packaging. The illustrations can serve equally well as a source of inspiration to the fine artist.

Intersection Theory. 2nd edition
1996 Steele Prize Winner for Mathematical Exposition
" Intersection Theory... introduced a new order into a field that had been in disarray, by introducing a new and simpler approach that gave all the old results and more. Moreover it gave clarifying expositions of many classical computations in intersection theory, often reducing lengthy old arguments to a few lucid paragraphs. By its very clear exposition and the high quality of its content, this book has had an enormous impact on the field. "

Modern Mathematical Methods in Diffraction Theory and its Applications in Engineering
In 1896 A. Sommerfeld published his famous paper "Zur Theorie der Diffraktion" in vol. 47 of the "Mathematische Annalen". His investigations initiated the study of boundary value problems in scattering theory. A long series of research works on general mixed boundary value problems sprang up then. Boundary integral equations together with the Wiener-Hopf method have been generalized and are now a basis for analytical and numerical studies by many mathematicians and engineers working on wave diffraction problems. Commemorating the centenary of Sommerfeld's paper, the aim of this conference is to join the experts and young researchers to present surveys and new results.

Galois Theory. 1998, 2nd edition
This text offers a clear, efficient exposition of Galois Theory with complete proofs and exercises. Topics include: cubic and quartic formulas, Fundamental Theory of Galois Theory; insolvability of the quintic; Galois's Great Theorem (solvability by radicals of a polynomial is equivalent to solvability of its Galois Group); and computation of Galois groups of cubics and quartics. There are appendices on group theory, ruler-compass constructions, and the early history of Galois Theory. This book provides a concise introduction to Galois Theory suitable for first-year graduate students, either as a text for a course or for study outside the classroom.
This new edition has been completely rewritten. Proofs are now clearer because more details are given and because the exposition has been reorganized (for example, the discussion of solvability by radicals now appears later in the book). The book now begins with a short section on symmetry groups of polygons in the plane, for there is an analogy between symmetry groups of polygons and Galois groups of polynomials. This analogy can serve as a guide to help readers organize the theoretic definitions and constructions. Several new theorems have also been included; for example, the Casus Irreducibilis.

Geek Theory
La société du Geek est en place. Chacun de nous peut devenir un Geek, un "connecté" compulsif dont l'univers devient celui du virtuel, des réseaux, des jeux en ligne, d'internet sous toutes ses formes, quelqu'un qui se déconnecte de la vie sociale vraie et vit par procuration, par délégation à travers des héros ou des pseudos, et des avatars. Ce roman est teinté de réalité : Etre à la hauteur des particules élémentaires, l'un des romans les plus lucides de la fin du XXème siècle, tel est le défi que s'est lancé Frédéric Vincent avec Geek Theory qui raconte le quotidien étrange et répétitif d'un geek cynique qui pense la vie réelle comme un jeu en ligne.

Snoopy Theory
Parmi les personnages que Snoopy aime interpréter, l'as de l'aviation de la lève Guerre mondiale est peut-être l'incarnation la plus frappante. Apparaissant au milieu des années 1960, à quelques strips d'intervalle avec des questionnements identitaires de Snoopy sur ses origines, sa famille, son passé, le spectre du Baron Rouge donne à entrevoir dans la bande dessinée la crise qui ébranle alors les USA. Entre doutes et peurs, nostalgie et résistance à la modernité, notre héros canin change de peau pour mieux aborder les mutations de son époque. De la Grande Guerre à celle du Vietnam, les échos de l'Histoire ébranlent la conscience de Snoopy, qui - à défaut d'être la voix de son maître - se fait celle de l'Amérique inquiète. A travers ses combats aériens imaginaires avec le Baron Rouge, Snoopy laisse entrevoir le visage d'une Amérique qui ne triomphe jamais d'elle-même...

PIONEERS OF REPRESENTATION THEORY: FROBENIUS, BURNSIDE, SCHUR, AND BRAUER
The year 1897 was marked by two important mathematical events: the publication of the first paper on representations of finite groups by Ferdinand Georg Frobenius ( 1849-1917) and the appearance of the first treatise in English on the theory of finite groups by William Burnside (1852-1927). Burnside soon developed his own approach to representations of finite groups. In the next few years, working independently, Frobenius and Burnside explored the new subject and its applications to finite group theory.
They were soon joined in this enterprise by Issai Schur (1875-194 1) and some years later, by Richard Brauer (1901-1977). These mathematicians' pioneering research is the subject of this book. It presents an account of the early history of representation theory through an analysis of the published work of the principals and others with whom the principals' work was interwoven. Also included are biographical sketches and enough mathematics to enable readers to follow the development of the subject. An introductory chapter contains some of the results involving characters of finite abelian groups by Lagrange, Gauss, and Dirichlet, which were part of the mathematical tradition from which Frobenius drew his inspiration.
This book presents the early history of an active branch of mathematics. It includes enough detail to enable readers to learn the mathematics along with the history. The volume would be a suitable text for a course on representations of finite groups, particularly one emphasizing an historical point of view.

Planning as Social Process
Planning in this century has been largely influenced by the appeal of scientific activity on the one hand and by reform movements on the other. As a result of this influence, two roles of planning developed with one predominating : an advisory role which adheres to the scientific canon of deta ched objectivity and which is the prevailing version, and an active role where intervention into the development of society is promoted. This duality creates problems for planning theory and practice, especially since the positivist foundation of planning has proven to be inadequate. An examination of logical positivism indicates that a correct social theory can only be critical. This suggests that planning should use critical theory as new epistemological framework.

Pedagogic Design and Literary Form in the Work of Adalbert Stifter
This investigation brings to light the fundamental significance of literary form as the chief mediator of Stifter's pedagogic endeavour, an aspect so far neglected in Stifter literature. It opposes the widely held view that Stifter's pedagogic incentive is a result of the Austrian revolution of 1848. While Stifter's pedagogic thought stems primarily from his Kremsmünster education in the spirit of Josephinism, it is his increasingly sensitive and respectful involvement of the reader's perceptive powers in conveying the import which, far beyond the expression of pedagogic design in terms of moral and social maxims, reveals Stifter's originality as a pedagogic writer.

Menu Design in Europe
Consacré à la forme visuelle et graphique des menus en Europe, le nouveau livre de Jim Heimann est un festin pour les yeux qui vous fera venir l'eau à la bouche, avec plusieurs centaines de menus européens allant du début du xixe siècle à la fin du second millénaire. Histoire de la cuisine européenne et vaste panorama des styles graphiques, Menu Design in Europe satisfera l'appétit des gourmets comme des passionnés de graphisme.
La prédominance de la cuisine française a fait de celle-ci un modèle des plaisirs culinaires qui s'est propagé dans toute l'Europe (et au-delà). Avec le développement des restaurants et de la gastronomie au xixe siècle, la nécessité d'une présentation plus rigoureuse des plats proposés a donné naissance à toutes sortes de menus imprimés, simples ou extravagants. Orné d'une illustration découpée, le menu de 1891 du Grand Véfour, à Paris, évoque la brasserie bouillonnante de la Belle Époque, tandis qu'en 1932, celui du Royal Palace Hotel de Londres vous entraîne dans un bar nocturne et plein de verve de l'époque du jazz. À l'autre extrémité de cet éventail graphique, le menu du restaurant Lasserre s'exprime, au milieu du xxe siècle, avec une simplicité surréaliste. Plusieurs décennies de styles artistiques sont représentées, depuis les chefs-d'oeuvre de l'Art nouveau et de l'Art déco jusqu'aux appropriations graphiques de la République démocratique allemande. On trouvera aussi les restaurants étoilés par le Guide Michelin à l'époque des chefs vedettes et des raretés comme le menu d'un repas militaire allemand durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
Bien plus qu'une simple énumération de plats, ces menus évoquent souvent un repas mémorable et sont parfois présentés avec une attention aussi soignée que les mets eux-mêmes. S'il ne nous est plus possible d'être attablés à La Tour d'Argent en 1952 pour y déguster son fameux Caneton Tour d'Argent, nous en imaginons sans peine l'ambiance grâce au gibier d'eau qui illustre le menu du dîner de ce grand restaurant parisien. Avec un texte introductif de Steven Heller, historien du graphisme, et des légendes d'illustration par Marc Selvaggio, grand marchand de livres anciens et d'objets éphémères, Menu Design in Europe réunit des menus issus de grandes collections privées et d'institutions, dans un somptueux banquet visuel qui fait aussi l'histoire de deux siècles de traditions gastronomiques.

Chronobiology & Chronomedicine- Basic Research and Applications
The time structure of living systems, which rules the autonomous temporal order of organisms as well as their coherence with the outer environment, has aroused considerable attention in biology and medicine since 1937, when a few European scientists gathered to establish this new field of research. This volume contains the Proceedings of the 2nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology, held in Marburg in 1986. It mirrors the great advances of chronobiology and chronomedicine in theory and practice up to the present. Distinguished scientists from European and other countries report on recent results in basic research and medical applications.

Graph Theory. Second Edition
This book is a concise, yet carefully written, introduction to modern graph theory, covering all its major recent developments. It can be used both as a reliable textbook for an introductory course and as a graduate text : on each topic it covers all the basic material in full detail, and adds one or two deeper results (again with detailed proofs) to illustrate the more advanced methods of that field. This second edition extends the first in two ways. It offers a thoroughly revised and updated chapter on graph minors, which now includes full new proofs of two of the central Robertson-Seymour theorems (as well as a detailed sketch of the entire proof of their celebrated Graph Minor Theorem). Second, there is now a section of hints for all the exercises, to enhance their value for both individual study and classroom use.

Mathematical Problems in the Kinetic Theory of Gases
The kinetic theory of gases is a most fruitful field for mathematical research. This is evident from the multiplicity of mathematical methods used, the originality of the questions posed and the large number of hitherto unsolved fundamental problems. For example, the question of existence and uniqueness of solutions of various non-linear kinetic equations is still a wide open one. Simplified model equations and various approximations therefore assume considerable significance for the understanding of problem structure and for the solution of practical problems.
