Its economic might has made it the center of the Eurozone and the pivotal power of Europe. Like other geo-economic powers, Germany's foreign policy is characterized by a definition of the national interest in economic terms and the elevation of economic interests over non-economic values such as human rights or democracy promotion. This strategic paradigm is evident in German's relationship with China, the Gulf States and Europe, but it is most important in regard to its evolving policies towards Russia.In this book, Stephen F. Szabo provides a description and analysis of German policy towards Russia, revealing how unified Germany is finding its global role in which its interests do not always coincide with the United States or its European partners. He explores the role of German business and finance in the shaping of foreign policy and investigates how Germany's Russia policy effects its broader foreign policy in the region and at how it is perceived by key outside players such as the United States, Poland and the EU. With reference to public, opinion, the media and think tanks Szabo reveals how Germans perceive Russians, and he uncovers the ways in which its dealings with Russia affect Germany in terms of the importing of corruption and crime.Drawing on interviews with key opinion-shapers, business and financial players and policy makers and on a wide variety of public opinion surveys, media reports and archival sources, his will be a key resource for all those wishing to understand the new geo-economic balance of Europe.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781472596314,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":29.800000000000000710542735760100185871124267578125,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4214675,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"germany-russia-and-the-rise-of-geo-economics","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/germany-russia-and-the-rise-of-geo-economics\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer’s career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track—until the recession hits and she gets downsized, furloughed, escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is one of the “lucky” associates. She’s offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, after which there would be a slim chance that she’d get her old job back. In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about. Mattie Wyatt, lifelong Brady resident and head of the town’s legal aid clinic, is there to teach her how to “help real people with real problems.” For the first time in her career, Samantha prepares a lawsuit, sees the inside of an actual courtroom, gets scolded by a judge, and receives threats from locals who aren’t so thrilled to have a big-city lawyer in town. And she learns that Brady, like most small towns, harbors some big secrets. Her new job takes Samantha into the murky and dangerous world of coal mining, where laws are often broken, rules are ignored, regulations are flouted, communities are divided, and the land itself is under attack from Big Coal. Violence is always just around the corner, and within weeks Samantha finds herself engulfed in litigation that turns deadly.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781101921852,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":23.39999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4688231,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"gray-mountain-audio-cd","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/gray-mountain-audio-cd\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

(Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google?s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness?and then he solves for happy. In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo?s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation?and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of ?moonshot? goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for?he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain?s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we?ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9781501157585,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":23.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":4839870,"merchants":["weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"solve-for-happy","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/solve-for-happy\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

The New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook offers a timely novel featuring his most fascinating character yet, a Vietnam vet embarking on a quixotic crusade to track down his nemesis from the war.After sixty-eight-year-old David Granger crashes his BMW, medical tests reveal a brain tumor that he readily attributes to his wartime Agent Orange exposure. He wakes up from surgery repeating a name no one in his civilian life has ever heard-that of a Native American soldier whom he was once ordered to discipline. David decides to return something precious he long ago stole from the man he now calls Clayton Fire Bear. It may be the only way to find closure in a world increasingly at odds with the one he served to protect. It may also help him to finally recover from his wife's untimely demise.As David confronts his past to salvage his present, a poignant portrait emerges: that of an opinionated and good-hearted American patriot fighting like hell to stay true to his red, white, and blue heart, even as the country he loves rapidly changes in ways he doesn't always like or understand. Hanging in the balance are Granger's distant art-dealing son, Hank, his adoring seven-year-old granddaughter, Ella, and his best friend, Sue, a Vietnamese American who respects David's fearless sincerity.Through the controversial, wrenching, and wildly honest David Granger, Matthew Quick offers a no-nonsense but ultimately hopeful view of America's polarized psyche. By turns irascible and hilarious, insightful and inconvenient, David is a complex, wounded, honorable, and loving man. The Reason You're Alive examines how the secrets and debts we carry from our past define us, it also challenges us to look beyond our own prejudices and search for the good in us all.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9780062424303,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":25.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":4925837,"merchants":["weltbild"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"the-reason-youre-alive","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/the-reason-youre-alive\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

Topics covered include an introduction to the geometry of hyperbolic surfaces, analysis of the resolvent of the Laplacian, scattering theory, resonances and scattering poles, the Selberg zeta function, the Poisson formula, distribution of resonances, the inverse scattering problem, Patterson-Sullivan theory, and the dynamical approach to the zeta function. ,The new sections cover the latest developments in the field, including the spectral gap, resonance asymptotics near the critical line, and sharp geometric constants for resonance bounds. ,A new chapter introduces recently developed techniques for resonance calculation that illuminate the existing results and conjectures on resonance distribution. The spectral theory of hyperbolic surfaces is a point of intersection for a great variety of areas, including quantum physics, discrete groups, differential geometry, number theory, complex analysis, and ergodic theory. ,This book will serve as a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers from these and other related fields. , Review of the first edition: \"The exposition is very clear and thorough, and essentially self-contained, the proofs are detailed...The book gathers together some material which is not always easily available in the literature...To conclude, the book is certainly at a level accessible to graduate students and researchers from a rather large range of fields.

Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success - and survival - is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst - and enjoy every moment of it. In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement - and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff. You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth - especially your own.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9781447259947,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":18.75,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4415729,"merchants":["dodax","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"an-astronauts-guide-to-life-on-earth","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/an-astronauts-guide-to-life-on-earth\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule...

It is even more interesting that today, creative minds in the industry are already gazing into the future in other to tackle our tomorrow's challenges right from now. All these validate a simple fact that: \"the oil and Gas industry is a technology based and innovation driven\" (David, 2011).The phase changes and its adaptation is so rapid that if professionals fails to yield to it or feels reluctant to its tingle, such would be dismayed in waiting and may find it stiff in catching up with the transiting train. The thrust of the drive witnessed by the industry in the recent decade is intense. This is wholly responsible to the world's high demand for our commodity (Oil and Gas), our daily venture into the ultra-deepwater exploration, unconventional resource exploration systems which is always beckoning on new and strong techniques. All of these are enough to charge professionals, to be awake to the demands of their fields by yielding their thoughts to the present breakthrough and preparing to face the next decade's challengesOne important breakthrough that technology has offered the seismic data acquisition field of recent is the \"Nodal Seismic System\". The success is currently attracting a great deal of key players from every end of the industry and has kept discussions on over time.

If you are so far spiritually as to want to dive into this subject, stick around. I just finished reading the unauthorized biography of George Michael, written by Emily Herbert (John Blake Books, 2017). My reading material is always accompanied by other research, my instinct as an author being to formulate what I've learned in words. In George Michael's case, the many videos that I watched were followed by YouTube commentary. I usually don't read these comments. This time, I did, for some reason, and found the discrepancy between viewpoints. Many viewers stated that George, Yog to his friends, lived on in the afterlife. To me, that is evident. Other viewers went on to say: \"No, he dead!\"I used to get really upset about people adamantly opposed to my opinion, trying to convince them that, of course, he lives on, of course, there is a God, of course, there is reincarnation. \"How can you NOT think so?!\" I would bellow. \"You HAVE to think so!!!\"Nowadays, I know that everyone has their own perspective to work from, by path, by choice, by experience. The perspectives are often contradictory. As a protester against illegal organ transplantation in China told me: \"You cannot change anyone. You have to inspire change!\"Everyone reacts negatively to the words: \"You're wrong!\"What you have to ask would be:\"Tell me how you came to that conclusion?\"Human beings want to find their own path.

This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Arthur Miller. 'I have always depended on the kindness of strangers' Fading southern belle Blanche DuBois is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude, brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche's fragile sense of identity to crumble, threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness. Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama, recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando, is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century. Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) was born in Columbus, Mississippi. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evenings writing. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published The Glass Menagerie (1944), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), The Night of the Iguana (1961), and Small Craft Warnings (1972).

Performance measures serve as valuable quantitative evidence for the portfolio manager's performance as well as for the evaluation of investment decisions ex post. Based on the idea of the capital asset pricing model proposed by Treynor, Sharpe and Lintner, Treynor developed the first quantitative performance measure intended to rate mutual funds, the Treynor Ratio. Since then, a large number of performance measures with very different characteristics have been developed. In addition to their power of rating investments ex post, their ability to predict future performance has been thoroughly analyzed by Grinblatt & Titman, Brown & Goetzmann, Carhart and others. Besides academia, the driving force behind the development of more sophisticated performance measures has always been the investors. This is understandable, as \"the truly poor managers are afraid, the unlucky managers will be unjustly condemned, and the new managers have no track record. Only the skilled (or lucky) managers are enthusiastic\". By combining and applying the results of previous research to a new sample of nearly 10,000 mutual funds that invest in different countries and asset classes, this thesis clarifies its central research question: Is the Information Ratio a useful and reliable performance measure? In order to answer this central question, it has been split up into the following sub-parts: What are the characteristics of a useful and reliable performance measure? What actually is \"good\" performance? Is the \"good\" performance a result of luck or of skilled decisions and does it persist over time? How does the Information Ratio compare to other performance measures, and what are its strengths and weaknesses? This empirical study aims at answering all of these questions and provides a framework for performance evaluation by use of the Information Ratio.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783836684477,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":66.900000000000005684341886080801486968994140625,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":4369467,"merchants":["weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"how-useful-is-the-information-ratio-to-evaluate-the-performance-of-portfolio-managers","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/how-useful-is-the-information-ratio-to-evaluate-the-performance-of-portfolio-managers\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

'To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness' The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Manners and morality are also victims of Wilde's sharp wit in Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband, in which snobbery and hypocrisy are laid bare. In Salome and A Florentine Tragedy, Wilde makes powerful use of historical settings to explore the complex relationship between sex and power. The range of these plays displays Wilde's delight in artifice, masks and disguises, and reveals the pretentions of the social world in which he himself played such a dazzling and precarious part. Richard Allen Cave's introduction and notes discuss the themes of the plays and Wilde's innovative methods of staging. This edition includes the excised 'Gribsby' scene from The Importance of Being Earnest. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was educated in Dublin and Oxford and became the leading exponent of the new Aesthetic Movement. His work, including short fiction such The Happy Price (1888), his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), gradually won him a reputation, which was cemented by his phenomenally successful plays, including A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). Imprisoned for homosexual acts, he died after his release, in exile in Paris. If you enjoyed The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays, you might like George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, also available in Penguin Classics.

The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones. With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R.R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen - the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria - took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel, and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.","merchants_number":3,"ean":9780008307738,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":36.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":4925910,"merchants":[null,"weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"a-song-of-ice-and-fire-fire-and-blood","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/a-song-of-ice-and-fire-fire-and-blood\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna s social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed. The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault. Hanna is the station captain s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion. When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia and possibly the known universe is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this. They hope. Once again told through a compelling dossier of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, and schematics, Gemina raises the stakes of the Illuminae Files, hurling readers into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless.
